Can we talk about anything other than waiting...good lord...some of us waited 3-4 months after paying and ya'll are whining after 3-4 days? Put on your big girl panties and discuss the BB, not the wait...

I don't have a tape measure with mm on it. Anything else you guys use to measure where to put your holes that is not a measuring tape?
Thinking I am going to try two holes for my 50/50 juices so I was going to go ahead and try my hand at punching a carto before my bb gets here. I have read that some folks have a hard time with figuring out when to stop the punch?
I got the bullet punch from avid vapors.
I just eyeball it with my rotary tool. But, a standard carto is just over 9mm in diameter ... the end of a standard carto end cap (a.k.a. "condom") is a bit over 10mm ... so, good benchmarks there. Also consider:
- Take a carto with the end caps still on somewhere where you can measure
- Mark the bottom cap with a pen at ~10mm up from the bottom of the body (not the bottom of the atty connector)
- Take it home and trim the bottom cover down to marked height
- Cut a couple of spares just in case
Now you can stick one of these caps on the bottom of any carto, draw a line around the top and know right where to punch or slot.
So smiple even I can't up it screw!

At the moment I'm only kicking myself about USPS's crappy tracking system lol.

Well, the US quarter is the official BB tool. If you stand one next to a carto, ol' George's nose is at about the perfect height.
So a .357 sizing die should tighten up the top opening of a carto to help with loose drip tips....
I just ordered the paracord and Screw Back Rivet Tree of Life so I can try to make the paracord pouch for the BB. http://stormdrane.blogspot.com/2012/08/tactical-survival-tin-paracord-pouch.html

Oh the wife! That's a good idea... Maybe I can talk my wife into doing it.. Hmmm

haha. First World Problems for sure.
That is going to look awesome. I hope you post a pic when you finish.
Are there anymore detailed instructions on making this anywhere? I have never made anything with para cord but looks like if I had some good instructions I good do one of these no problem.
Thanks! I think I will go up to the local hardware store and see if they have anything. They are closing down though so I bet the pickings are slim. But some great ideas.
You guys are actually just too cute! I've not seen this kind of excitement over a particular vape mail in a long time!
Congrats congrats. Sounds like Thursday is going to be a pic day around these BB parts!
I'm really happy for you all. However... dot dot dot...
LOL, as our 'cutting edge' bud, Absinth, said... we waited 3 little tiny months!!!!!!
I have a feeling, Crocky... you are going to be the vape world's best carto puncher. Just a hunch here...
If you're truly not punching to the depth you'd like, you might want to try this inexpensive punch. It auto stops!
