I buy all of my supplies from altsmoke but only because they are great. The fact that they are also nice people is a bonus. I've been using Johnson Creek smoke juice since the early days and will continue to do so. I just love the flavor which was enhanced by the silver bullet set up.
If you want a reliable e-cig that will look and work better than you at the end of every day. Then the silver bullet is the choice. (Posted on 10/3/2014) - As good as it gets Review by greenterror

Customer support is a pleasure to work with. I've had my SB for 6 months and couldn't be happier.
I have bought many mods but there is only one that I would save in the event of a fire...my trusty Silver Bullet. Even though I'm pretty sure it would make it through the fire and anything else I could throw at it.

AltSmoke Comment: It's not a true mechanical device, as it has an electrical switch :P But...soon we should have one :P (Posted on 12/3/2013) - Best Ecig, but newer ones show cosmetic wear very quickly. Review by A

Overall
Well that have done two combat rotations with me, have some dings on them, but continue to function nearly flawlessly. Getting ready to contact them for my convoy/patrol one, it has had both the most abuse and the most use, 1 out of 50 times the switch fails to fire on the first click, and some carto's are a little loose on the threads.
Mind you I have had many other mods, some less expensive, some more and none have lasted a fraction of the time that this thing has. (Posted on 11/10/2013) - electric blue bullet Review by akfo7

Overall - problems i have had with the silver bullet Review by Don
- I bought the silver bullet after reading and watching all the positive reviews ....yep that's the one I want!! got one back at the end of may (2013) two weeks later problems with the button ( never acted like it was firing the batteries very well from the start) contacted chad ( great person to work with BTW) sent it to him and he repaired it then he sent it back fixed (?) worked well for about a week started getting really hot ( I mean HOT) touch the button for a few seconds and wow hot ..ok you get my point here ....contacted chad again sent back( now waiting to receive it back from chad) hoping that this time whatever might have been wrong is fixed!! after ALL the reviews I have seen and watched on you tube about the silver bullet I was sure it was the SUPER E-CIG they talked about in those reviews, ( not sure now).. I have to say I do like its style and I want this thing to work for me like those reviews says it works... I bought all the suggested toys for this thing including the correct batteries to make sure I had no problems (well) this is my final test ( kinda like I'm beta testing it to get the bugs out) if it doesn't last or breaks down after this repair I'm gonna have to get a refund and move on ... sorry to be the one to rain on all those great reviews but that's just my story its an honest one believe it or not ...things can happen I guess !!

Overall - Silver Bullet: It's a go Review by Sonny DeSoto
-
I got it here with 3100 mAh 18650 batteries, Xtar WP2 II charger and Dual Coil Metal 510 Cartomizer Tanks in 3.5ml.
It's not shirt-pocket portable, but after a lot of fru$tration with smaller cheaper less obtrusive e-cigs, for the first time this rig supplies high quality and consistent vapor that goes on and on and on and... here is an entirely robust, well made setup.
Order processing and shipping were blindingly fast, too. (Posted on 5/2/2013) - Superior to all...... Review by markvmeg

.........of the rest of the mods, especially the mechanical variety. Add a "The Kick" to it by buying the sleeve for the Silver Bullet and I really don't think any other mechanical mod even comes close to quality, reliability, and the almost indestructible build quality of the Silver Bullet.
Now, this is not a mod that I would be wanting to carry around on a night on the town, so to speak as it is a monster mod. It is one of 5 mods I own and it will last decades longer than the rest. I own a couple GG clones and a Lavatube plus a Provari and lastly a Saber Kick Edition and this mod surpasses all in build quality.
If you don't like mechanicals then this is most definitely not for you. But, if you want something that will easily outlive you then you owe it to yourself to try this out, it is well worth the money and you will not regret it. The only concern I have is is it doesn't have any holes for gas (hydrogen) that can build up when using an 18650 battery. I also would not own one without The Kick because it is nice to have something this well made that also can be adjusted to your tastes. I have a chrome plated and a silver vein Silver Bullet and use the Chrome plated sleeve for the kick and the sleeve really adds to the appearance when used with the Silver vein version. It is a monster yet it is also simple, no tricks, it just works and it does that better than all of my other tubes.
AltSmoke Comment: It actually does vent from under the switch, take off the head of the unit and blow through it :) (Posted on 4/26/2013) - Vpjqvkd Review by xtjsrcnr

- Loved it so much I had to buy another Review by Robert J
- When my 510 connector finally stripped out (previous owners fault) I had to send my unit in for servicing (great service BTW. Replaced my switch, 510 connector, wiring, and even polished it up for me.. Its better than new!), I knew I couldnt go without my bullet, so I had to go to a local vaping shop here thats an authorized dealer for the SB and I bought a new one. Just got my old one back and Im thrilled with the job they did. Top notch service. Great mod. Thanks again AltSmoke! (Posted on 3/21/2013)
- A standard in excellence and performance Review by Charlie C
-
The SB is certainly a standard when it comes to quality E Cigs.
This is THE Mod to own when you're ready for a hassle free all day vaping device.
I tried the 'Bolt' (which is a cheaper Chinese made mod) It lasted about a week before it had a meltdown! Like anything, spend a little more and get something that is durable and made with pride.
The vaping community seem hung up on variable voltage devices which have a place but most are inferior quality and in reality a 3.7 volt device coupled with a 1.5 or 1.7 ohm load will satisfy even the most demanding vapers. Coupled with the AW protected batteries they sell here the SB provides me with 2 full days of vaping before a recharge is required!
I’ve used cartos, dripping Atty’s, DCT Tanks and RBA’s on this device.
Everything works well. Better than well. 10 out of 10.
Recently tried a Penelope, oh my….that was vaping heaven! (Thanks John, I think)
The size is in no way an issue here. One gets used to it.
Quite frankly it’s nice to hold something firm and of quality in your hands. (That’s what she said)
I strongly suggest to anyone that their e cig arsenal be a Silver Bullet and a few eGo Twists and your set!
ALWAYS BUY THE PROTECTED 18650 BATTERIES. Nothing else!
DO NOT USE eGo 510 connectors with this device as it will damage your SB.
AltSmoke customer service is great too!

I absolutely fell in love with this Silver Bullet. I'm using it all the time. I have it kicked and with 18490 batts. I haven't had it for very long, but I'm wowed all the same.
The only thing I wish I had was a SB sleeve so I could use 18650 batts with the kick, but the sleeves have been sold out.
Otherwise, I am very happy to own one of these beautiful mods. (Posted on 2/25/2013) - WOW Review by brandon

all i have to say about this device is that i have put this thing threw hell and back many of times between throwing it dropping it falling out of my car at 40 mph thanks to my little cuz i think the only thing this device hasn't seen is being submerged in water have got it wet alot using it in the rain and still to this day it works just as good as new it looks like crap not much paint left haha but i would recommend this to any one and i cant say enough about this button i have had alot of pv's and nothing compares
(Posted on 2/13/2013) - Fantastic PV and great service from AltSmoke Review by Robert J
- I didnt even buy my mod from AltSmoke. It was given to me by a good friend to get started in vaping. I was having a problem with my 510 connection, this bullet is definitely used and loved and a few years old. I contacted AltSmoke asking if I can pay them to repair my 510 connection. What a great company, Chad emailed me back and just asked that I ship the bullet to him, and include a 10 dollar bill in it for the cost of the rebuild and shipping back. Thats stand up stuff. I love this PV with a Genesis Style Atomizer rockin a low resistance coil. Great vape. (Posted on 2/10/2013)
- My second SB! Review by Umar
- I got my first SB in February 2010, and have used it (and abused it) ever since. Lately I was having issues with cartos fitting into the 510 connector. It seems I had stripped the threads. This was no fault of Altsmoke, instead just regular wear and tear, exacerbated perhaps by my very rough handling of the device. I got in touch with Altsmoke and they offered to fix the connector at very little cost. But since I just landed a new job, I treated myself to a new one. Great device, sleek, rugged, and efficient! This is my first and only ecig, and I have never felt the urge for any other. (Posted on 1/28/2013)
- want more!!!!!! Review by 1vapeatatime

Great Mod. I purchased first the Olive Drab, and then the green. I wish there were Browns and tans.
Super vaping device. It's not variable voltage but with Low resistance coils on my tanks I get super flavors and thoroughly enjoy vaping with these devices.
Very sturdy and well built. (Posted on 1/21/2013) - super!!!! Review by 1vapeatatime
- I own two....may get more because they provide me with hours of pleasurable vaping. Very well built....and when I use them with my splitfire or vivi tanks at low resistance I get fabulous results. Expensive; yes but money well spent. (Posted on 1/14/2013)
- the very best Review by andrew
-
Hits everytime, very well built. and once you become more familiar with vaping check out the Kick by Evolv its a mod that controls the wattage--put that in and you've got the greatest set up money can buy!!
I recommend to start with:
-single coil cartomizers
-18650 3.7V 2400mAh battery (Li-ion)
-xtar charger
-dual coil w/ tanks are great too (Posted on 12/30/2012) - I love my silver bullet!! Review by Brian
- I just received my silver bullet today. It is a amazing pv, I like it a lot more than my ego e cigs. Alt smoke is the only store I will go to for all my vape needs. The customer service great and their products are great! At first I ordered a green silver bullet, and two days later I had second thoughts about the color. So I emailed altsmoke to see if they could change my order to a white silver bullet. Rob from altsmoke replied very quickly and was very nice and was happy to change the order. I'm glad I changed the color because the white looks awesome. If you are thinking about ordering the silver bullet do it!! You won't be dissapointed. Thank you altsmoke! (Posted on 12/26/2012)
- Silver Bullet and the "kick" Review by Anthony
- I cried and almost hit that button on ecf classifieds. But didn't, because I purchased the "kick" instead. The Silver Bullet combined with the "kick" makes for a lethal combination. The legend of the Silver Bullet continues...... (Posted on 11/21/2012)
- BIG FINGERS Review by jamie
- Awsome mod,but I have BIG fingers(thats what she said) so the button was hard to push. easy fix, I hot glued an eye from a stuffed animal on the button and it workes great and looks good, FYI pull your batt out,put a small drop of hot glue in the center of the button place your eye or what ever you want to put,press and hold. Dont even try super glue,didnt last but a day. The hot glue has been holding now for atleast a month with heavy use. Just have to be carefull when its in my pocket. Also the silver one my son has seems to have a better button,looks the same except its silver and wasnt as hard for me to get it to fire as with the black button that is on all the other colors (we have three) this is not a complaint just sharing my problem and simple solution. Dont think I will ever need to but another one but if I did I would get the silver bullet,and im holding on to the other eye just incase. jamie (Posted on 11/9/2012)
- A awsome everyday mod Review by Tommy
- I ordered two sb's And I had a problem with one and the customer service was great they are fixing it as I write this. I the other one works great, I am a barber and I vape all day long wih no problems. I also use a kick in it some times and it works great with the kick. I would recommend this mod for anyone who wants a quality mod at a great price. It has a nice big base and stands very securely. Just another plus. (Posted on 11/8/2012)
- Great quality, but not very best build(6-month review) Review by kurt
-
This thing is solid like a rock... but weights heavy like a rock too...
I have tried this with a tank and with just your typical cartomizer(drip into top pretty much after every other vape). The cartomizer's seem to give much better taste, but so easy to over-fill and get sticky leaks and dried out it tastes pretty bad...
Now the tanks I am STILL working to figure out how to master these... I tried 50/50, 70/30, and 80/20 PG/VG with all varied results. Sometimes it seems to dry up frequently even with the tank full, other times at worse it can just seems to leak out and become completely sticky! I have also tried the double, I think single, and triple hole double coiled tank refills.
Some of the refills I have had some how I magically had last me ~2-3 weeks while others last 3-4 days before they start leaking. I have noticed better results with 80/20 but the problem still does happen and I am really wondering if there is anything I am doing wrong??? Anyone, please help me out?
P.S. They should add a drip guard to these, like a washer or something would be VERY VERY NICE AND GREATLY APPRECIATED! (Posted on 11/7/2012) - Not another Silver Bullet review Review by Gary

I had to put in my two cents worth. Of course I love my new silver bullet. The performance & craftsmanship are top notch. I got the black coated so that I can do a fair job touching it up in the future. I've dropped my Alpha countless times & unfortunately a few were on concrete. I really liked the olive drab color but figured I couldn't touch it up. The ONLY thing I wish was different about it is on the top I think should have grooves like the Alpha. I pretty much always drip (with Altsmoke's LR atty) and it gets a bit messy at times.
Anyways, I waited a long time & finally got one. If you want one, just get it, you won't be sorry. (Posted on 10/29/2012) - Great Review by Jared
- What can I say that hasn't been said so far? This is a very solid device and paired with my 18650 3100mAh Li-ion battery lasts for a very long time before needing a battery swap. Money well wasted. :) (Posted on 10/7/2012)
- Ok product Review by Bryan
- I bought this when I first started vaping and after a few weeks I stopped using this, not for poor performance but its size and lack of options. I love how long the battery last and It's ruggedness, but now with the zmax that offer options live vv and vw with the same battery I will be retiring this thing. (Posted on 9/29/2012)
- First day with SB Review by Ashess

Overall
But i kept reading silver bullet reviews I knew i wanted one since everyone was raving but i was not sure if i wanted to spit out 100 some odd dollars on it and the things I needed for it. Well let me tell you I finally got it today put a tank on it and ill be DAMMED. It is great! and the flavors are sOOOO much better with the SB. I am glad i finally gave it and paid the money. I just wish that someone would have told me about it or even the ego-t before I dropped the other 400 or so bucks on all the other crappy e-cigs.
So now I will tell ALL my friends that smoke about the SB so they do not have to make the same mistake as me and spend WAY to much money on crap or just give up and keep smoking analogs.
I will be sticking with my SB I also just started DIYing my own juice. And all i have to say is I am completely happy. I LOVE VAPEING. I know that my SB is new and i just got it and I am in the "honey moon" phase, but I can tell a whooping difference from my ego-t taste. performance, power and everything.
If your like me and hate spending money just give in do not even try the other cheaper e-cigs you WILL NOT be disappointed!!! Now I know what everyone was raving about and I had not been truly vapeing until today!!!!!
JUST BUY THIS SERIOUSLY (Posted on 9/19/2012) - Great product Review by scott

Overall - This was my first e-cigarette Review by Joseph

Overall
Does the silver bullet give you throat hit like a cigarette? Yes. The higher nicotine content of the juice, the better the throat hit. The stronger the battery, the stronger the throat hit. I recommend low resistance atomizers (which you should learn about BEFORE you make your purchase).
Does the silver bullet taste like a cigarette? Well, no, because the silver bullet doesn't taste like anything, silly. It's the juice that contains the flavor. I personally never wanted my e-cig to taste like a cigarette, but for others, this may be more of an issue. From what I gather, there is no real substitute for the flavor of a cigarette. But really, who cares? Cigs taste like butt.I puff on banana juice while at work, mm, feels like I'm in the rainforest. I get home and switch to some tobacco ice (which is my fav., though it doesn't taste like tobacco). I switch to chocolate when I'm bored. Or a host of other flavors. It's wonderful!
Is e-smoking cheaper than just smoking? Definitely, if you want it to be. You could spend 60-80 dollars a month on juice and atomizers, and have all that you need. That is around 1 week of a cigarette habit in New York. Sometimes I spend a little more, if I really want to try some new stuff. But that's all part of the fun. I think of it like a hobby more than an addiction, and I have no problem spending some money on a hobby I love!
Is the silver bullet easy to use? It's a little more complicated than a cigarette, that's for sure. But once you figure it out it's no problem. Read online about how to use e-cigarettes before you try one. You should know what dripping means, how to maintain an atomizer, and more, before you even start. It is a little intimidating, but trust me, there is gold at the other end of the rainbow.
Should you buy the silver bullet? To quote Stone Cold Steve Austin, HELL YEAH! This product has changed my life, and I have been in love with it ever since. Do your research, learn about e-cigs, and if you settle on the silver bullet, you will not be disappointed. This thing is a life saver.
And by the way, Altsmoke has been nothing short of amazing. They ship fast, they give me what I want, and they are an honest company. I mean, look at the juices.. they allow everyone to read customer reviews right up front! No hidden BS. No trying to trick you. This is just a good, old fashioned company, and they come highly recommended from this reviewer.
Hope my review helped you get off the fence!

Overall - Awesome Review by ejash
- First off very fast shipping!! I couldn't be happier with my purchase I have done plenty of research on different mods the silver bullet just caught my eye very impressed with functionality of this device. Was a little concerned with the size coming from a prodigy v3 but it's not as big as I thought it would be its a very nice size and weight!! The switch is great hits every time never misses a beat. Vapor production is great in both 3.7 and 6 volt. Wish I would have picked this mod up in the first place!! Great product!! (Posted on 8/14/2012)
- I must have gotten a bad one Review by Nick
-
I've always heard a lot of good things about these and a couple of my buddies have them as well. They have never had a problem. I've now had mine for a little over a month and have barely used it. First I took it out of the package and the 510 connection was crooked which is the main reason I didn't use it. Both atomizers and tanks just looked rediculous on it. The other day I decided to give it another try. I've now found out that nothing I have even fits on it. It threads about half way in and that is it. I've been vaping for about 3 years and have about 15 mods and never had a problem until this one. By the way, I've tried Joye, smoketech, boge, yeti atomizers, and several different types of cartos as well. Guess I can just write this one up as a waste of 85 bucks.
AltSmoke Comment: Or you can contact us about it and we can resolve it for you. I already opened up a ticket for you even :P (Posted on 7/31/2012) - Worth Every Penny Review by Digitaldiatribes
- I'm sitting here looking at a line of text that says 388 reviews, so I doubt I'll be saying anything new here. What I will do is throw in another vote for the "Hell yes buy this thing right now" column. It's as solid and sturdy as everyone says, throw in a high mAh battery and it vapes like a freight train, and in the end if it comes right down to it the thing makes a hell of a fist-pack. I was originally looking at the price tag and thinking to myself "I should just buy a Bolt and rewire it, it'll do the same thing", but all in all I'm really glad I went for the SB instead.

Overall - Back for more... Review by crashtestjeep

I bought my first Silver Bullet when it was a pre-order years ago. Well, here it is 3-4 years later and I just 'bit the bullet' for my second...the Silver Vein. My first SB worked great. Then they upgraded the design w/the 'hot spring' and I was so blown away (no pun intended LOL) I did a YouTube video on the hot spring update alone. I didn't think it could get any better. I've been off the ECF forum for about a year and a half now due to a job change and not having spare time, so i decided to write a review here and let everyone know i came back for more. I feel like a kid at Xmas waiting on my new SB and i can hardly wait to get it! :)
Anyone that is on the fence or considering other mods, my profile on ECF is still up so go check out my page and see the picture of my mods. 22 different mods from just about every vendor, and I'm here at AltSmoke buying another SB. Save yourself a lot of cash and go for the best first. Take care, and vape on! (Posted on 5/26/2012) - Grimm Green Sent Me! Review by SHANNON
- I ordered my SB on Thursday and got it on Saturday. Everything was neatly packed and I was pleasantly surprised. I was smoking an electronic cigerette before the SB and all I can say is OMG!!!!! What a difference!!! I got the SB with the 6ml tank and it is simply amazing!!! The throat it and the vapor production are unreal! I am going to order another one as a back up in the near future. Anyone sitting on the fence about purchasing this should just jump in and get it!! You will not be let down!!! Customer service and the products are top notch!!! I will be returning again and again!!! (Posted on 5/22/2012)
- I LOVE IT!!! Review by Leslie
- It took me a while to figure out the best way for me to use the Silver Bullet but I finally did it. I like to use the 3.5 cartomizer and the AW 3100 mah batteries. I was an eGo-c fan but after getting this Silver Bullet set up to my liking I actually prefer it. It is a lot more solid and dependable. The flavors are much better and the vapor is FANTASTIC!!! Plus the Silver Bullet seems to be Bullet Proof. Thanks Alt-Smoke. Again, Great service from this company... (Posted on 5/17/2012)
