I don't think it would. But I guess you could ask them. It's not really a concern for me though. I don't even use tanks or any of that stuff. I did for a while and they all ticked me off. So now I'm back to dripping and blue foam with LR atties. I bought 150 lr 510 atties from China for just under $150 delivered. Even though an 18650 can last all day I do change it twice a day.

For the last year I have not had one of those days, where nothing seemed to work. (three years since I had a smoke)
I have some joyetech LR 510 attys here I've come to love. They are far superior to any of the others I have, which mostly range somewhere between "meh..." and "God, that sucks!" I really do need to stock up on them. I sort of oscillate between my Vivi tanks and LR 510s. I need the practicality of the tanks, but for sitting down and just enjoying some flavor, there's really nothing better than a good atty.

BTW, I hadn't mentioned that I did indeed get my Gun Metal Bolt, two extenders and AW 3100 mAh 18650s and have been in Vaping Heaven ever since! So now it's just a matter of taking good care of the gear, hoping it holds up and at some point acquiring a duplicate setup...maybe in Chrome. I don't know if this is one of the new models we've heard about. I haven't gotten into the switch assy, but it does have the squishy button and has one heck of kickspring in the bottom. When I first noticed the kickspring I thought, "Man, I could use one of these to help me get out of the bed in the morning."

I saw some videos about the Bolt, and in those instances, the 18500 series batteries being used came just to the top of the Bolt's tube without the extender on it. With the extender on, an 18650 came to just around the top of the extender. With the extender on this one, the 18650 stands nearly an inch above the single extender and all the way to the top of the second extender. To assemble it with the Kick, I have to sort of smush things together in order to thread it, but it works like a charm and so far, decent juice tastes great in it no matter what sort of feeder I'm using. Fully assembled, the whole rig with tanks is around 7 1/4" long—which is about a quarter of an inch longer than my eGo-C Twists with tanks or clearomizers on them.

I've got the sidewinder and the standard triple v tanks from valley vapes. On thesidewinder, the screw is covered in rubber and you sort of plug it in the hole rather than screwing it in. I also highly recommend getting proper end caps, these are hand cut tanks and aren't always cut 100% straight, the end caps level everything up. The sidewinder is definitely easier to fill but the triple v looks better imho.

I just got a Bolt today from a B&M store.
Really nice device. Perfect for my "go to work" PV

I do have a question- What voltage does it vape at with the extension and a 18650 batty?
I don't know for sure, but someone around here probably does. Because it is unregulated, my guess would be probably somewhere between 3.7 and 4.2. I have a second extension on mine which I added so I can run a Kick (wattage regulator) in it on top of my AW 18650s. So far, the experience has been nothing less than sublime.

Good to know about the extra extension needed to run a Kick. I was thinking of adding one

Yeah, the two extensions will fit together nicely and give you the room you need in the tube for both the 18650 and Kick. BTW, the notion of running a Kick in a Bolt with two extenders is approved by the good folks who make the Kick (and who also make the Darwin). One other note: unless vendors have gotten back in stock in recent weeks, the trickiest part will be finding a Kick. I had to order mine from Canada.

So I dropped my Bolt lastnite from 6 feet. Thank god it still works fine!!! The finish just got chipped on the top and bottom so i just put some black finger nail polish on it and it is as good as new!!!!!

kinda hard to break a good old solid built tube mod...at least the out side anyway. Stuff can go wrong on the inside of course but not usually from dropping it.

Has anyone had the paint/coloring of their Bolt come off?
Ive had the gun metal one only 5 days and I just noticed mine is coming off.
Thought it was just staining or tarnish, but it seems that its the actual color coming off and showing the aluminum underneath.
Im thinking my skin/sweat must be acidic as the worn area is right where my palm and fingers touch the device
