they are a bottom coil atomizer with juice slots...

there is no filler, no tubes, no wicks, no long wires...a coil at the bottom of the tube like every other 510 bridgeless atomizer out there...just has feed slots for the juice


Thanks for the picture Absintheur finally get to see it up close! I know that people say they haven't experienced flooding with these. Looking at it that is a little hard to believe, but so far so good it seems. We'll see how long they last. Compared to cartos if they last longer it may be the answer all of our BB owners who dislike cartos may be looking for. I myself don't mind a good old Boge carto.

How long term? In a month there might be something new...lol. You wait in this industry and the parade will pass you by.

Trust me, I know ... but all I will miss is the rush of being an early adopter. :)

Few things I have learned in the last two years:

1. Bite me once shame on you; bite me twice, shame on me (not original, but true).
2. Wait for the reviews. Then wait some more (honestly, the BB's been about the only exception to this for me).
3. The shabby stuff comes and goes. Or sometimes, comes and then gets really cheap, fast.
4. The good stuff comes and stays.
5. The really good stuff will always be hard to get ... but is usually worth the wait.
6. Sometimes, no matter how good something is, it's just not right for you.

That's not necessarily in order and there's lots more I've got written down somewhere ... have it dig up someday and make a poster out of 'em. :)

Thank you in advance to those of you shifting from "hamster mode" to "guinea pig" mode with the Raven.

Imma still wait it out and see what happens long-term. :)

Might I just slide over sit b'side ya, Vapian? ;)

As long no one rains on it, we're all good, Abs.



Now. Having made both those comments, yep, I'm curious, interested and tempted. I have not hit the purchase button, but it may happen. I want to wait to hear how 6932's nail file modding works out.

i can't say enough good things about this little box.
...did that sound wrong? lol
i really am loving it, and everyone that sees it, including my die hard pro vari people, are absolutely drooling over it's form, function, and beauty. my only gripes are that i only have one tank-and i know that's being addressed, so it's just a matter of patience. not really a gripe then, i guess. the batteries fit TIGHT!!! they're kinda hard to get out. i read a post in the thread about making a duct tape flap to make it easier, but are there any other suggestions? i have the exact same batteries in the video, the ones dd recommends. i'm breaking thumbnails and scuffing up my battery coating trying to get these suckers out.
all that aside, i'm proud, honored, and happy as a pig in doo-doo to have one of these in my possession. not to rub it in here, but i'm also feeling blessed as hell that i got in on the "limited supply" order, and that it was waiting for me at the post office when i got back from vacation last week. i think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship...

Oh Wow! Still think I'm dreamin that I found this wonderful posting place with all u nice people. And that I snaged one of these fantastic.
BBoxes. Thanks so much 2423kids, Madriz, retird, and Ohman for offering so much help. I cryed while reading what ya-all put on post this afternoon for u's being so kind to help out. Sorry didn't post but have alot of trouble to type on that little thing. I don't intend on going back to stinkies it is just some other stress things here that have me worked up or maybe it is just still some withdraws cause I find myself looking for my lighter and then relizing I have the E-cigs LOL. I really love vaping much better especially the flavors and not smelling bad. Althou yesterday I picked up my friends pack of cigs to look at them and she say no to me and then "ohhhh you just want to smell them" LOL
I really thought about that cause I do think unsmoked tobacco smells really good. But no I just wanted to see what they were she had been talking about these that u push the filter and it make the cigarette a menthal instead of regular. It was pretty neat. I have lots of dumb ???'s thou for another day it is too late tonite but maybe tomarrow. One I was wondering thou now is does anyone know of a cheap tank to put on a Volt spinner so I can practise with the punch and whatever else I need to get used to for the BB I will be so afraid I will ruin it if not doing something right. I already have some regular SS cartos for it. Thanks in advance. Tomarrow will be looking for a thread to find the fix for my baby T3 I really liked that thing. Mostly cause my RA is acting up and am havein trouble sqeezing the little bottles to drip so much into the cartos. The T3 was just one contiuous squeeze.
To all you others Love all the info you are putting on here it is fantastic, and hope to get to know all of you better. And for all of u that are putting the blue lettering up that send u to a page double thanks. Got several things saved in my favorite bar to buy for the BB from them. It makes it so much faster to look up with the blue lettering then initials that I gotta look up or find out what they mean. Even thou that way I am still learning more and more. Great people here and I don't really know how I got here at all cause never thought I would want a Box at all but hey I said I never wanted a manual either but that was the best thing ever. So I know this is gonna be the bestest.

QUOTE=Smokfreedoc;9318146]Another new BB owner here as well, been stalking this mod for the past month with no luck, and tireless searches on the classies. To make sure I got 1 today I closed the office from 4-430pm eastern time and made sure I was gonna try my hardest to get one. My staff thought I was crazy but they enjoyed the 30min break :)[/QUOTE]

I kinda scored by accident. I looked at the page earlier in the day, it said soon, forgot about, looked again, and it was on. Grabbed an extra tank as well. It was 4:13 eastern when I grabbed mine. It must have went on at 4:10, so I barely made it, because someone said sold out in 4 minutes.

Nope not liking the Ravens so far. Snipped the sides on a second one to fit my UDTC tank and still getting burnt/dry hits. Definitely smell/taste a chemically, plasticy odor/flavor when taking dry pulls as well. When they work, they work well, good flavor, smooth taste and draw but that burnt taste every 5-6 hits kills it for me. This one doesn't seem to be leaking as much as the last one but there is juice in the drip well and on the connector of the device. I'm sure this has to do with the dry hits as the liquid is draining away from the wick.

Conditions:
Device is a Sigelei Zmax v 2.5
Tank is a UDTC
Carto measures 2.5ohms
Vaping at 8.5 to 9 watts (4.6 to 4.75 volts)
Used two different juices @ 70/30 PG/VG (Maybe the juice it too thin??)

I really WANT to like them.... Wondering if I just got the bad ones in the batch since others seem to be liking them. <sigh> Looking forward to reading the experience of others who get them.

Well. Took me a month to drop it. Asphalt, of course. Dinged a couple corners pretty good. I'm more annoyed at being able to feel the jagged spots than how it looks. Guess I'll attack it with some sandpaper when I get home...

Ouch sorry to hear that ThetaReactor. On the bright side the beauty of the BB is that it's built like a tank, like you said a little sandpaper and she'll be right as rain. Just with a little more character.

I've got a few ravens and haven't experienced anything like this. Although I haven't chopped any for my BB yet, but I wouldn't think that chopping it would cause these issues. Now my dad on the other hand has a few as well, two of his we're just crap but the others are beasts

Perhaps you just got a dud? Or did it work properly before you cut it down?
