My BSB is definitely going to need the sleeve. Do you have a price yet for the sleeve so I can plan my finances?

I hope that is all you have to do, even though it looks like I might not have. What exactly are the sleaves for?
Ok, I get it, you can use the sleave to use an 18650 IMR battery in silver bullet or you can get an 18500 IMR battery and use that without the sleave. Sorry for above post, went back to start and reread.
Not 100% sure, but I believe the sleeve is an extension added on the SB so you can utilize the kick with an IMR 18650 battery as opposed to a IMR18490.
Well, for the time being, you can still use the IMR18490 in your kicked SB.
That should hold you over until the sleeve is released.. If you want to use 18650 batteries you will need a sleeve for the SB.
Here is the video on how the Kick works, you do NOT sand anything, you just put it in.

Yes, it just means better battery life. I like the way Link, the director of the Harm reduction documentary in the VP Live team broadcast of the Atlanta Vape Meet up put it (Paraphrased): Its great you can put the controls of a darwin in one of the sturdiest and time tested mods on the market. I whole heatedly agree!
Some silver bullets have to be sanded as they have coating I think around the inner lip.
I asked this question earlier in this thread and chad said no. My question may not have been clear enough, so maybe him or ron could chime in)
I guess it is easy, if it contacts metal you are good. Wish they would post a pict of the unpowdered sleave just to give us a hint.
I use 18650 IMRs currently as my back up to my 5 volt bats and I charge them in and ultrafire lion charger. The important thing you need to do is make sure your charger does not overcharge your IMR batteries as it will reduce the life of the batteries.
If you got the Trustfire, yes it is just fine for the AWs. You do not need a pila charger.
The inner lip is not powder coated. The chrome have a bit on the inside, but the chrome is plenty conductive enough. If you find wee bit of powder inside the lip(older) you could use a bit of acetone to clean it out. The sleeves will all be in chrome, it would be a huge PITA to powder coat those little suckers in every color I offer with the SB. I think chrome will go nicely with them all. They will be about 4-5 weeks out. Once we have the ran out it should take 3 weeks to get back from polish and plating. I am not sure on the price just yet, we still have to write the g-code. It should be a fairly simple program to do on the CNC.
Don't think there was time for emails. Looks like they sold out in 40 minutes. I can wait, I want to see how they work out anyhow. I've never gotten an email even though I signed up long ago to receive any they send. Maybe a glitch somewhere too?
