So using temp control on my usb60 and I keep getting the temp warning thing going on. Google's and all I can find is it's letting me know it's reached top temp. I feel like the temp warning shouldn't come up whether it's working or not. Anyone else use tc with the bb or any other mod and constantly get the temp warning

It depends on the warning. If it's "Temp Protected" that's nothing to worry about, it just means you've reached set temp.

You can either....

Ignore it.......or

Turn off the warning in escribe......or

Reduce your WATTS until the warning doesn't happen anymore. This may have the side effect of increasing your ramp up time......depending on your build.

This may be a lost cause but I'll ask anyway.

Has anyone retapped the threading a clone BB to match the authentic? I really like hybrid tips but I'm not really happy with the JMK ones and am seriously consider giving this a shot... in the dark I guess.

A few things can happen with thin walled aluminum when you try and force the thread pitch to another.

1. You succeed - Best case scenario
2. You crack the case - Worst case 1
3. You succeed, somewhat, but the pitch is now slanted, keys/dts now fit in slanted - Worst Case 2
4. You strip the thread pitch - Worst Case 3

I got a black one that needs a board you can try it on. For real. I'll probably never buy a new board for it. Lemme know what you think. Donate to science

Anyone have a colorfuk SXK BB they'd want to trade for a black one? Not a fan of Dober, but any of the other colors with a DNA will do.

I'd include my SSPP (troydestroy) Storm Trooper panels, Gratch panels, and an MTL DryPlug along with the bridges and two Borotanks.

I'd attempt a Dicodes transplant in a BB shell ;) But I am sure there is a lot more to it than just dropping in a different board...which the most obvious would be getting the Ribbon Button to work correctly.

My BB started saying temperature protection and won't fire.

Anyone know why or if you could tell me how to get it back into wattage mode, that'll work too.

I think you lock it and then all 3 buttons to get to that setting. If you lock it it'll be a combination of the buttons somehow I can't remember honestly

Wonder what's up with the temperature protection crap

Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
I read it's just to let you know it's at temp. But I stay away from tc in the bb for the same reason. Hate seeing that warning

TC is supposed to go to the temp and stay there, not cut off all power. As far as I know anyway. I used it for over a week with no issues

Okay, so I built the bullet (Billet) and bought a used Unicorn Poo Rev4 DNA 40. Few things:

Anyone suggestions on what color panels I should get? I'm trying to make this thing a little less flashy than it already is. Might just stick with the stock panels and get a leather case.

It comes with a bunch of stuff that I don't plan to use at all. Let me know if any of you have any interest in these:

Comfort Bridge (Nautilus coils)
OCC Bridge
Orange Friendly Flipper Grippy panels

If anyone wants all of them I'd make a sweet deal for them!

I'm color blind/deficient and I KNOW what color that is ;)

On the other hand, if you're wanting to tone it down some... stock panels...cheapest route.

Yeah I'm going to stick with those for a while but some studded matte black ones might be in order from our own troydestroy down the line

Jokingly its similar in thought of owning a Ferrari and buying a Black one, 'cause the Red one catches the eye of people more...knowing that Black factory Ferrari's are more noticeable cause its not red ;)

I have the SS Orion with carbon fiber, but the gold with abolone is pretty classy IMO!


Sent from the Death Star
I have two gold & abalone and one SS & sea scallop. I'm looking for a blue & abalone now.... One of the gold ones went tits up on me, Evolve is now aware there is a problem with the first run chips so they are extending the warranty to one year for the ones that die on you or are DOA. Now I need to stock up on pods get a few more packs of EUC coils for the BB!

So I've exclusively vaped the Orion for 9 days now. Discovered that I can't really get a good MTL vape out of it (not even a loose one!). It makes me cough like a noob.

However, even using 15mg nic salts I can get a GREAT RDL hit on it. Battery life also lasts me all day while on vacation. Not bad at all!

I'd have to hear/see/read some opinions from real people before getting that, tho I must say it looks good.
In other news, I just messed up my SXKUSBBB, I may have tore the screen cable/ribbon. In any case, it is dead. Any of you guys with electronics skills that can take a look at this?

Now if you broke the clamp to hold said screen ribbon down, yeah, that is another story and you'd need a new board...

EDIT: well not really... still has a slip in connection and you could silicone it in place ;) once inserted.

I was trying to clean the juice that leaked inside:cuss2:
In my defense, I didn't have enough coffee (only a small 4 oz cup compared to the 32 oz I usually have), couldn't find my glasses (still out in the field) and I DIDN"T HAVE ENOUGH COFFEE.

Well, that is probably so but I am not going to try anything else until I drag my tired carcass home. I am just hoping one of you guys with the technical skills I am sorely lacking will take pity on me.:vino: Still have the two authentics and two Orions with me. Just got a 16oz bottle of V3 juice delivered here (crappy but beats the hell out of cigarettes) so I should be OK for the near future.

You telling me you're vaping shit juice?

On a serious note though... if I had to gauge the difficulty level of installing a new screen (Never did it on a BB) and going from experience of removing the screen from my VT133 (same connection) I would rate it a 2 in a 10 scale.

I mean, if you want to send it to me with a new screen, I'll give it a go...no promises though, never worked on a BB.

I'll keep that in mind, really appreciate the offer. I should be done here soon (God willing) and head home. I'll take the sucker apart (or not) and let you know. I'm reluctant to order parts now, if I have them delivered here and I'm already heading home.....

4A961852-A54E-4026-B912-6D2B0ADACD32.jpeg Well I got my first BB, won in a waffle. Usually don’t play but number “3” was still open. What luck!!! I have a vapeshell on order from vapinart, but was reading here about the MF bridge. Where do you order?
Just showing off. My friends, family just do not understand.
