It IS pretty, isn't it? Took a bit of focusing to get the bridge components into the glass tank, but otherwise, easy peasy! So, a completely OT question ('though peripherally related): Just received an order of 100% VG juice from The Vape Kitchen. Wondered if it has to be steeped/will benefit from steeping. So, I called them to ask. The person with whom I spoke, in one of their retail shops, said "Because it doesn't have PG in it, it doesn't need to steep." What?! Does that sound right? (Yeah, I suppose I should listen if I called to ask, but that's not the answer I expected. Maybe, "It's already steeped," but not "none necessary.") Input, anyone?

And my newest addition that arrived today. LittleBird, I'm very envious of your button. I just came across such a good deal I had to sacrifice my desire for the button for now

Well, according to the USPS, who can't count to two, BTW, I will have on Thursday. 'Cept for the Silo. What's a Silo? Use a Nautilus with BVC coil on the P3. Is a Silo like a Nautilus? (Now I need to go google it). So, forewarned: the Bird will be twittering with glee on Thursday, and may well make a nuisance of herself with questions :)

Ok, I googled Silo. Do y'all think it produces better flavor than the Nautilus? I'm not much of a cloud chaser, though little clouds are always welcome ... Birds like cloud cover. They do!
:vapor:

The big difference is the Silo has one larger airhole, and I love a really airy draw (no cloud chasing here). The only other reason is some like the looks of the Silo more. Otherwise it's the same vape if you do not use the largest airhole.

I don't know any others up at 3am working on their computers in their underwear.

I so wish I didn't just read that~! The visual in my mind bothers me more than the Pepsi I just spewed all over my keyboard and screen.

And I have an envelope sitting here waiting for Christmas morning to open up - thank you :)

Please can someone explain properly why batteries need to be 'paired' when run in the BB and then re-charged?!
Sorry for the (dumb?) question.
And Happy Festive Season to all
from Melbourne, Australia!

You don't have Christmas and New Year's eve in Melbourne?

Noted the shout out to Bamrz on the BBox video. Cool. So, Bamrz, if you are in the neighborhood, will you tell me whether your drip tip tip (that looks weird!) works with a bridge? I'm a bit nervous about cutting the O rings. :unsure:
I didn't know I was mentioned in a video! Cool! :) Please remind me what tip it was? I am clueless. :unsure:

"Happy Festive Season"? Is that what it's called down under? If not that has to be THE worst generic holiday greeting ever. :(

Ho ho ... ho.
I also tend to go with "Happy Festivus" these days. My youngest got me started doing that. :laugh:

Birdy, it's not so much whether the juice has PG or VG, but the flavorings involved that would require the steeping. Fruits and plain menthol are mostly good to go right out of the mailbox. Anything with custard, cream or complex mixes (more than 2 or 3 flavors) might need a bit of steeping.

My rule of thumb is to try a bit dripped on an atty when I first get it. If it's good, I just keep going. :) If it seems a bit boring or not quite right, I let it sit for a week and try again. You really shouldn't have to let it go for more than a week, but some juices keep changing for quite a while.

The video is on the Billet Box site. It's the second - the one to do with setting up the carto. You suggested that the carto could be inserted with the tip on, to mitigate the risk of cutting an O ring. As I think about that, now, I'm not sure I get it. It made perfect sense at the time, though :confused:

Given birds don't like tobacco or menthol, anymore, this bird steeps everything. She hovers, shakes on occasion, and sends prayers up to St Festivus for good outcomes.

[OK. You talked me into it! A little drip; a little sip ;)

Oh, gotcha! :) I have some small delrin tips that are the same diameter as the carto, those are the ones I was using for that. Now I have a "tool" that I think came with my Billet Bridge. Same idea, it's made of delrin, and one end is small like the end of a drip tip and has an o-ring on it. The good part about the tool is that it's longer than the tank is wide, so you can also use it to swap them out when you still have juice in it.

I have some "old school" 510 and 306 attys that I use for testing juice. Easy peezy! :lol:

Good idea. I built a new 1.2 dual coil, just yesterday. Haven't used it yet. I'm a bit odd: I was so pleased with how it came out that I didn't want to mess up that snowy Japanese cotton! That's my OCD kicking in :)

Down under they're not reborn they're Melbourne. I'm still trying to figure out who Mel was.

It's beautiful LittleBird. Enjoy it I go though 6-8 batteries a day I love my RatBald so much. I ordered a delrin Gemini drip tip to go with it.

Donny you're going through 6 to 8 batteries a day? I couldn't go through 6 to 8 batteries if I pushed the button once every minute.

Perfectly lovely without the abalone. Sometimes, beauty speaks for itself!
