That was it my man, thank you. Stripped the coating off of those two (and most of my fingers lol), and that's all it was. Thanks again!

One of my favorite activities ever.I believe it was @gsmit1 who spoke of what a joy changing the boro plate gasket was, and yes, quite a joy indeed
Second only to being dragged naked by one leg behind a mule in the desert though cactus... in July at high noon.

Yup, right there with ya. On my third and final one 
What I haven't fully figured out is that once you get the freekin thing in there, and it's been in there a little while, it's no problem after that. No bunching up at all. It's like it soaks up liquid at the molecular level or something.
I think it just settles in and kinda sticks with juice maybe? Idk, but I can't wait til these get there, lol
Beautiful man!Alright, I am begging myself to be happy and leave em be. At least long enough to just enjoy themWhat do you all think?

And yes, I sure did, as I always do. A quality trait that is good for a few things in life, and absolutely destructive in most other

That's just the one I had with me while working on them, lol. Different button though, and it would look great. Between you and him, gotta be where 80% of my stuff came from
I had to message him and fine out where that DT came from, I love it. Three more comming....
I used to love that drip tip, but haven't used it in a long time. Maybe i'll pull it out tonight because drip tips have been annoying me lately.That's just the one I had with me while working on them, lol. Different button though, and it would look great.

Perfect for MTL for me. Wouldn't change a thing. Well, might paint one or two, lol
Any of you guys in need of any chameleon color BB screws? I got sent some with a sale and I definitely don't need them and won't use them.

interesting. thanx
Yeah it's a Samsung S9+
Honestly I don't have a lot of luck with pics, but it's got an easy zoom option that helps.
This new NN set just came in today. Not sure if I'm going to keep it or not. I'm sure it will look fine on my RPG, but I'll have to see how it compares to the set I have on it already.
Edit: It would help if I added the pic

Just from chat about the xeta alone, I’d pick the vapesnail... doubt they fixed the fit
plus it’s a boro for the xeta.And you know it will probably be available from China in a few weeks
At least the snail doesn’t have the inherent weak posts
Man I just read what I typed, my chink is all over the place without coffee yet

From the sounds of things, existing Xetas will work with the tank. I'd consider getting a couple of the tank section only bc it improves the convenience factor of using it with access to the deck and eliminates fucking around with getting it in the Boro.Just from chat about the xeta alone, I’d pick the vapesnail... doubt they fixed the fitplus it’s a boro for the xeta.

I don't have issues with the posts, but I'm putting MTL builds in there. No need to crank down on those screws for me.

I don’t even own a BB anymore and I’m sold on the VapeSnail if it ever comes to owning one again.
Plain Jane Dober
Now if someone had one to trade for my Dani-Dvarw

If I didn't have a couple Xetas already, that's the route I'd go, too.I don’t even own a BB anymore and I’m sold on the VapeSnail if it ever comes to owning one again.

I also want to sell my DotAio SE and get an aluminum one. Its become my daily work carry and I think the lighter aluminum version would do me better. DotShell is outstanding.

They'll slow down soon I'm sure. Everyone is buying new one just because it's says 2020 on it haha.

Awfully quiet in here, guys. Everyone holding up okay?
I work for a major grocery company over here on the East Coast. Needless to say I'm working. It's a bit surreal to see folks across the spectrum... people panic-buying, people in complete denial, and reasonable folks just trying to do their normal shopping. Shelves are emptied just hours after restocking. A big pack of chicken breast is harder to get than a Billet on drop day!
Just a friendly reminder: be nice to those of us who don't have the option of isolating. We're happy to be employed still but we're probably being exposed every day. Scary thought.

I hear ya man. Same boat. I work at a dairy, and this is just insane. We are basically pastuerizing every drop of raw milk we get in every day, and it is still nowhere near enough. On a normal thursday I would say we pasteurize about 75,000 gallons. We were at 135,000 when I left, and not even half the orders were met. I feel like no mattter what they shut down, I will still be required to go to work. It is a very scary feeling knowing I am there out of necessity, and feel my health is put on the back burner because of what is needed. I'm ok with it, it is needed to get by, but also sure hope people are mindful and respectful of the situation, and stay home if you are sick, stay clean, all that. I'm starting to feel like a sitting duck, just waiting for it to happen
Sadly, I also have little faith in human beings in general, and am just waiting for the looting and rioting to start. Idk what to say or do, but stay safe brother.
I have the aluminum dotAIO version. It's very much built like a high end mod. I prefer the 0.3 ohm dotmod branded coil to the DotShell for flavor consistency and life. I'm going to try a different build before making a final decision.
BTW, the aluminum dotAIO is only 2.3 oz lighter than the Billet Box. I much prefer the Billet Box airflow volume, its side entry and the fact that it holds 5 ml of fluid as opposed to the 2 ml or less in the dotAIO. I still use my dotAIO when I'm out and about which is not much at all lately.
same shit, different day, here. except for shopping.
just wait till this blows over, you will have it easy. all the hoarders will be using up their hoardings = not in the stores.

i can see hoaardding a lot of things, but milk ? that shit doesn't keep, so what good is hoarding it. and it doesn't guard against viruses, so why drink more ? doesn't make sense.
Have been joking a lot about this for that reason. Doesn't keep. But just like when snow is predicted, my guess is just the sheer number of shoppers. Not people buying 10 gallons, but 10 people shopping instead of 1 and buying a gallon, so to speak.
blizzzard, sure. they get over it in a day or so. this shit is going on for 2 weeeks now. i like milk, but how much freak'n milk can ya do whatever they are doing with it . freezing it maybe ?
Idk honestly. But I was just told we will be running through Sunday, with clean ups of course. That will probably be somewhere around the 1/2 million gallon mark.
UK has been Crazy shops stripped bare, milk , dried milk powder, baby formula, UHT milk, lactose free, coconut milk, goats milk, soya milk, rice pasta tinned fresh it's all gone,
You look at Italy in lock down full supermarkets,
UK only just shut pubs bars cafe restaurants, but even if you had money you can buy food looks like only way to get food is if Goverment puts in rationing like war times,

i bet he will. i used to drink 2 gallons a week.
thats what i figured. i used to talk to a gas refinery guy many years ago, he said the same thing = its all the same, except for a few additives.
now, what are clean ups ?
I run the pasteurizer, which is also a seperator and homogenizer. Seperator (taking the cream out of the milk), gets dirty first, and no longer can take the desired butterfat of cream out, therefore making running skim/2% etc not possible. So we have to stop running and do a clean up. Basically chemicals running through the system instead of milk. This happens about every 14-18 hours of running. All kinds of state and federal laws on hours before press/vats/machines etc need to be cleaned. Gotta follow those no matter the circumstances.
Do you mean everything including the board?
I'm curious if one could simply replace the switch plate from an SXK and add a USB board to the DNA60 in an original. I have two original BB but I don't want to break the seal on them to measure the inside. They are both 2020 models with what is apparently a new switch.
On a more positive note here is my vape mail from yesterday...
No, I think he meant the inner plates. Button and control panels.
