My Shiny New Silver Bullet! [With pics]

[tizerbelle]

The news you've all been waiting for - my shiny new silver bullet arrived today!

I'll be honest when it arrived and I opened the package I was a little disappointed that it didn't come in a fancy presentation / storage box. Don't get me wrong the SB itself was well wrapped in a suede drawstring pouch and then very neatly cocooned in bubble plastic but I had been expecting just a bit more "show" for my money. No instruction/care sheet either. However I did get a DC XXL Cartomiser included free.

So I pull one of the 18650 batteries out of the package: "jeez, that's a big battery" I think to myself and then look at the still wrapped SB and think "how much or rather how little of that is packaging then?" So I carefully unwrap the SB - "Blimey, oh Riley - it's maahooosive!" And weighty too - with the battery in, it weighs 158g (just over 5 and a half ounces) - if you dropped this on your toes, you'd know about it. All of a sudden my SDMkII is looking very dinky in comparison.

I put the battery in, +ve side down, same as I do with the SD, popped a CE3 smokeymizer on top and pressed the button which is perfectly sited in terms of balance and position for your thumb - absolutely blooming nada! Not a whiff of vape. I them smacked myself upside the head as I realised batteries need to go in +ve end to the switch, which for the SD is at the bottom but for the SB is up top. Quick battery reshuffle. Press the button and wow, loads of vapour and taste on my CE3 smokeymizer. Think I'm going to get to like this.

Looks-wise, there is a tiny manufacturing flaw just to the side of the button on mine but it is tiny, barely a mm, and I can live with it and at least in a room of SB's I'll know which is mine, otherwise it is shiny, shiny, shiny apart from when you put finger and palm prints on it using it but that did not come as any surprise. It's still shiny and silver and absolutely gorgeously simply elegant even if its a bit of a beast size wise. (just like me )

Obviously I can't say anything about battery life just yet and even when this battery dies it wouldn't be fair to judge on that as I'm using one with a factory charge. Have the other charging as we speak.

I'll put some pics up later so people can see it in comparison to the SD and Riva just for size reference but mainly so you can all go, "Oooh! Pretty!"

Come on get those piccies up!

Glad to hear you are pleased with your SB Tizer

Congrats on a great mod

I used to own a silver Bullet, and sold it to fund a Provari - regretted it pretty quickly.

I've now done the opposite, and have the black chrome Bullet.

will be better still when the kick comes out.

Shouldn't you be working and not playing with your new toys? Not that I'm even the slightest bit jealous now get some piccys up pronto

[Perpetua]

Fantastic news Tizer . . . delighted you're enjoying your new baby!

You'll soon get used to the Silver Bullet's size & weight. . . blow work, picces are far more important.

Nice one we defo want pics of your new shiny

[tizerbelle]

I've been vaping away like a steam engine this afternoon - filled the CE3 up twice. It is absolutely fantastic - stonking loads of vaper and great flavour. What I didn't account for is when driving, as there's so much weight behind it, if you hit the brakes too sharp it shoots off the passenger seat into the footwell with quite a thud. Oh well, never mind I was almost where I was going but if I'm doing a long trip I think I'll use the SD cos I can sling that round my neck and not worry about dropping it.

This is not in anyway a stealth PV - if you're using one of these, you know it, the people in the room know it and probably people in the next county know it as well!

So here's the pics:

Shiny, Shiny!


Just look at the size of this!

It's very nice, so glad you like it, you could always put a towel on the seat for it to sit behind or stuff it between your legs (in a nice way :-))

[wooffy]

oooooh shiney!! very nice, giz a go?


Hmm re the rolling off the seat issue. You need a dash holder similar to the flower vase that is fitted on the new VW beetles. That would stop it from doing one.

Yep, Flossie-Ann loves shiny or round or small or long or string like - actually anything thats not nailed down is fair game for her - she was planning an attack on the SD lanyard in this pic.
