Congrats for your 1000 vaping days :)
Billet box will be a nice present :)
Btw, when you payed your bb, did you have a confirmation from bbv (not paypal confirmation) ?

Thanks!

I never got a confirmation from BB, but it did take me to a confirmation page after I ordered. Once that happened, all my tracking info and everything appeared within Paypal itself.

Anyone have any recent Raven experience to share?? Been contemplating getting a few to hold me over to use in my UDCT till my BB arrives and test the waters for when the standard length non-flanged units arrive. Would really just like to hold out for the standard length non-flanged units but the curiosity is killing me as is the longevity of these SMOK cartos :(. I've resorted to using some of my stocked up pre-punched Boge cartos as a regular carto by trimming the bottom off of a carto condom and sliding it up over the pre-punched holes and top fillling as need be...Hope these Boges work better in a tank than this way - only got about 2 days out of the first one...

Off the top of your head, would you happen to have a hypothetical ballpark price of what it'll sell for once manufacturing is complete?

First congrats on 1000 days!

I would like to keep the cost around 20 bucks. the bottom piece is the PITA piece to make, as it will have to require 2-3 machining processes done to it.

That sounds reasonable to me. Even thou I don't know too much about prices of this sort of thing. Going by what they have on the Killer and the Diver It sounds good. Could never justify spending that kinda money for those but Think even I could afford this, Would love to have something to use like this specially if you use cartos too and run out. No B+M stores around here. PLEASE, put me on a list to buy one if that's how you will do it. Thanks

I think $20 is more than fair, if compared to the Diver or Killer

Nice job Dan!

I cleaned the contacts, the ring, and everything. I tried three new cartos too, nothing worked. My other pair of batteries didn't do a thing either.

It smells like something is burning inside of it. She's gone and I don't know why. Just my luck, I have to go out of state from the 28th-7th too. This sucks.

Silent, sorry to hear the frustration. Silly question perhaps, but did you also try the cartos and the batts on a different device? Were the batts in the B Box well seated?

Seems in our vape world, nothing is consistent or "normal". I've had devices die on me (a Riva batt to be precise... sorry Super T), and some 6 months later, they ummm... revive themselves.

I cannot claim to be an electronic engineer, nor do I play one on TV, but I do know that our gear can be temperamental,,, even tho gear has no emotion whatsoever. Welp, maybe it doesn't. Look at Ruby for example...

I think a message to DD of BB is in order.

The cartos all work fine on other devices. I don't have anything to test the batteries in but they're recognized and charged fine in my Nitecore charger, so I doubt it's them. The batteries were well seated, I heard a click when I installed them. Now if I smell the area near the voltage dial, I get a charred/burnt smell as if something popped in there.

I tried giving Doug a call, but he didn't answer. Guess he's super busy in the shop. At this point I'd go as far as overnight it to him if I can get it back before the 28th...

Oh, man! You found the hidden Easter Egg! That's the special grill option!






I'll shut up now. Keep trying to reach him, Silent. I know he'll make it right for ya. Your time crunch isn't helping the frustration, I do understand, but hang in there honey!
