Opened on Dec 16th and closed on Jan 4th, not that I'm paying any attention.
Standard cartos ordered, check.
3 sets of 16340 IMRs ordered, check.
Waiting for shipping notice to prepare for mailman stalking, check.
Looking forwart to getting trying the Billet box.Ordered Dec.17th.Hoping for March delivery.
Genuine AW Batteries at RTD Vapor
this place is where i get most of my bats, usually fair price and pretty much anything you could need in the multiple chemistry options

ur right, i'll get my lol's elsewhere, my bad, shoulda ignored from the get
Hmm... I guess I probably didn't need to charge a couple sets of 16340s already, but I did. Probably didn't need to punch some cartos already, but I did. I guess I'll hold off on priming them. Must learn patience.
Just as some food for thought, here are some general numbers on expected battery life based on my current setup. I'm using a Boge-F16 LR carto (1.7ohm) in a tank and vaping at 8 watts and I get approx. 12 hrs out of a 2250mAh 18650 battery. Using an mAh battery life calculator, that comes out to about 43 min of battery life (if you could actually drain it that far) but I'll use it as my 100% mark. So 100% = 12hrs vape time and 43 min battery life.
(2) - 750 mAh batteries would be 1500mAh (in series) Yes?? This would get me 29 min or 67% or in my case, about 8 hrs. Not bad but I'll have to double up on batteries at home and at work to keep my voltage addiction alive provided I can actually get a Billet Box.
On a separate note, anyone live in So.Cal who's getting one of the pre-orders? Maybe you could PM your address and expected delivery time and I could pop over for a ahhhh...."visit", ya, I'll visit with you just to ahhh... check it out.

My buddy already has one. We might be heading to Vape Revolution on Saturday if you wanted to pop by and see it.
Nope. Running them in series increases voltage, not amperage. If you run SR cartos (~2.8ohm) in the BB, though, you can get the same 8W performance at around 4.7V, thus drawing lower current and making your batteries last a bit longer.
yuppp, a hand full (small hand mind) will have magic numbers in their e-mail tomorrow...... we will be shipping a few times a week with however many i can put together in a bunch... it's a good sized list to work through,, so the ones on the back of it will be at the end of the month... but yes,,,, pretty soon....
Awesome news, now praying I'm near the front of the list. I have a couple of Vape meets coming up and want to show this bad boy off.

In a parallel circuit
Two 16340 3.7v batteries with 750mAh each produce a circuit with 3.7v and 1500mAh
In a series circuit
Two 16340 3.7v batteries with 750mAh each produce a circuit with 7.4v and 750mAh
The energy of either example mentioned above is 5500 mWh (milliwatt hours)
3.7 x 1500 = 5500
or
7.4 x 750 = 5550
Now apply this formula to an 18650 3.7v battery rated at 2250mAh
3.7 x 2250 = 8325
So technically, the 18650 should provide more power. Now I'm not an engineer, but the numbers look pretty solid to me. Logically, we have to assume that wattage or voltage setting and the type of boost circuit used on the device will definitely have an effect on battery life as well. And of course the resistance and temperature will too.

K, just a lil' post befor i get back at it.... I know I haven't gotten round to showing all the stuff in the Billet Birthing updates yet (like dials, and brass rings and such), but i have a small stock pile of some of these parts so i'm just gonna eat um up first. As of now, i am in assembly mode. Fit buttons and springs, de-burr any icky poos, yell at polishing monkey if he left a scratch, test the voltage range, seal the inner cover, add the stainless steel fasteners, oil the slides, ect, ....and before i give each one a last hand polish and attach the carbon, I put in my test tank, push the button, and make sure vapor comes out.
So far, vapor comes out!

Damn, the wait to snag one of these is getting harder.... Just looks like the perfect PV to me, and once i am able to get my hands on one it will probably one of the two pvs i use regularly for a good long time. Those of you with preorders coming soon are lucky SOBs, but i will have mine asap.
Dude you have no idea how lucky I am. I was just casually checking out his website on 4 Jan and decided to place an order not even considering that pre-orders would end soon. Pre-orders ended on 4 Jan!! I must be #200.
On the other hand, after being jboxed, I am happy to take that bit of good luck that allowed me to get on the BB list.
How do i make one of those smiley face things that claps? Nicely explained. And a big yes, about other factors. The Biggest factor being, some batteries just suck, and some are magic (same brand, same everything) it just happens, heck if i know ... The Billet Box is more efficient in its upper voltage range, closer to the native voltage, i did some math on this and wrote it on paper.... somewhere...
sorry about this Reap, really,,, i wish i had bunches of um... but i'll keep you posted here for sure...
..back to stuff doing...
