Thinking about buying a...

...Alpha. As I was looking, I noticed that the BB is very similar, seems that they might at least be comparable. So, without further adieu...

What are the differences between the Alpha and the BB? Size-wise, weight, etc. Are they more or less the same device with the button in a different place, or is there anything else I might want to bear in mind?

Thanks for the help,

One thing I'd keep in mind with regard to the Alpha, is that if you use a CE2/carto tank on it, it can be a little tricky to fire without a short 510-510 adapter. Not a down side by any means, both are awesome devices. (I have the SB, but the wife has the Alpha and BB.)

Currently I'm using Cartos, but I've got some eGo tanks that I'd like to be able to use on it as well. I do have a buncha shorty 510 extensions, so that shouldn't be an issue.

Which one does your wife prefer? Is it awkward to fire the atomizer on the Alpha? Do you need to depress the entire top-cap, or will one finger, like the thumb, work?

I'm actually somewhat concerned about the chance for pocket-activation. I'm a waiter, and my PV stays in my pocket most of the day, we wear jeans where I work. Right now I'm carrying around an eGo-T battery with a carto on top, the 5-click lock feature keeps it from going off.

Am I going to have to worry about that with either the BB or the Alpha?

Thanks again,
