This is the BEST PV on the market Review by Brian

I started out with a Janty stick and really liked the compact design, but was slightly dissatisfied with battery life. It was my first PV and I didn't really know any better. Then as I started doing more research (www.e-cigarette-forums.com is a great site) I realized that I wanted to have something with more battery life and the opportunity to switch between 3.7V and 6V as well as all the different attys. So I came here and decided to check out the SB.

I got mine in the mail a couple of weeks ago and have done plenty of vaping on this thing. I thought it would become my backup if I lost my Janty stick in the harbor, but this thing actually fits perfectly in my back pocket with a 510 atty installed. The stick is now my backup in case I drop this beast of a PV in the harbor. I also purchased 801 and 901 adapters and have vaped using all 3. My favorite is the 510 because of the compact size of it, with very good vapor production. Followed by the 801 because of the excellent vapor production, however it loses cool points for being so large. Lastly the 901 because I feel it has very small improvement over the size of the 801, and in my opinion the cart is too small and I was constantly dripping into it.

I also tried vaping at 3.7V, 6V and was dumb enough to try vaping stacking 2 3.7V RCR123As. 7.4V is waaaaay too much power and I had to only depress the button for about 1/2 a second a couple of times to get a big hit, however it was very difficult to control and the juice would often taste burnt. This thing is great at 3.7V and 2400mAh offers freedom to roam without having to be tied to a wall outlet for recharging. I have used my 2400mAh battery over a long weekend of serious partying and vaping and didn't have to replace it with the spare that was in my back pocket until Sunday afternoon.

But my favorite thing about this unit (albeit not publicly recommended by Rob) is vaping at 6V. It produces excellent vapor in a very short time, and it really brings out the flavor of the juice. A couple of my flavors are weak at 3.7V but they taste amazing at 6V.

This tool is built like a tank. The body is extremely sturdy, the switch smooth and easy to operate, and appears to be very well built. I seriously cannot foresee any problems with the switch ever occurring.

I wish I had bought this model first. It offers everything you can ask for in a PV, except compact design. But that's what the BB is for I guess.

I did see a comment in someone else's review calling the SB "plain." I'm having mine engraved this week and when it's done I don't think anyone will ever call mine that again.

Thanks Rob, for a great product, a great website, and of course your awesome customer support and timely shipping. (Posted on 2/10/2010)

Silver Bullet my new friend Review by edsz31

Overall

I received my Silver Bullet about 1 week ago, I love this shinny silver bullet. I had a small e cig, but I was changing the battery several times a day and it was small always checking my pockets. The Bullets battery lasts me a full day and eve, I replace the battery every morning, I like the size its big I dont loose it or misplace it. I'm new to e-cigs, I dont need led's or a low battery light. The Bullet is robust and bad- ass. Its 10:30 PM, I put a recharged battery in at 7:30 am and Im still vaping away.

Funny story today, I went down to the Marina today I was working on my sailboat, I saw again, few boats away from me was the owner of a old very rough sailboat, working away, I have noticed the last few times I went to visit my boat that old sailboat was starting to look good. I said hello nice job he said thanks, and he pulled a e-cig from his pocket, it looked real at frist . I said COOL a e-cig, he said yep. I grinned and reached in my pocket and stuck the Billet and my mouth and took a 5-6 sec draw and blew a nice cloud of vapor, The said Wow what is that thing its COOL. I told him its the Siver Bullet, I like to show off my Bullet. (Posted on 2/5/2010)

this thing rocks... Review by Phishhed

SERIOUSLY....if your looking for the best experience in ecig vaping...look no further.
You get what you pay for in this world,and every penny spent on this unit is worth it.
As a beginner ecig vaper I didnt notice all its finer qualities,AT FIRST....now I HATE having to use my JOYE510 with the standard portable battery unless im out for the night and I need something compact....thank god for portable charging packs for the batteries(terrible charge life)
The 510 atomizer works like a dream with the SB,but I may venture out and get the attachment to be able to use other model atomizers with the SB...I heard each one is a LIL different(might be worth a try)
Anyways enough rambling...if your considering buying one of the "other" screwdriver style ecigs(that are actaully more INexpensive),and you cant buy the SB right away cause theyre on back order....do yourself a favor,be willing spend the lil extra money it costs for the SB,and JUST WAIT for them to come back into stock.
I PROMISE you,you wont regret it.
Buy a cheap portable model to hold you over till theyre back in stock,or use the one you may already currently own...and as SOON as you can grab a SB....
DO IT!!!!
Good luck and happy vaping...peace
-Aaron
P.S. remember the old saying...haste makes waste.
Make the right purchase the 1st time so you dont regret buying one your not happy with right off the bat...so with the SB,youll be stoked with it. (Posted on 2/2/2010)

Silver Bullet ! Awesome vaping machine Review by WhatAClumsyGirl

I ordered one of these a few months ago...ordered a bunch of mod's...thought i would sell a few and ended up selling the Silver Bullet. BIG MISTAKE. I missed it since i sold it. So...finally got around to ordering the new Black Silver Bullet..and I absolutely Love it.

I am a twice buyer...but this Black Silver Bullet is definately my go to vape. I absolutely love it. It's durable, dependable and I love the flavor it puts out.

Awesome Vaping Machine !

Thanks Rob....I really appreciate the Super Fast Shipping..>I ordered on Friday and this baby was in my mailbox on Monday...Unheard of shipping.

You cannot go wrong with this purchase.

My new Black Silver Bullet Review by MOFUGGER

Overall

I was looking to upgrade to a new MOD device and was torn between several popular 5V & 6V MODs that are currently on the market.

After many hours of research, I decided on the Silver Bullet by AltSmoke. I am extremely glad I did! For me, this is the PERFECT PV. You can tell from the moment that you unwrap it this is a well made and will last for a very, very long time.

With every push of it's smooth mechanical button, you get a huge cloud of vapor, HUGE throat hit and great flavor. And I do mean with every push. It has not failed once.

What's really nice about this product is it's versatility. You can vape @ 3.7V (1X 18650) or @ 6V (2X RCR123A). You can also vape with the default setting of the 510 atty (which I prefer) or you can purchase adaptors to vape with the 901, 801 & Cartomizers. What more could anyone ask for.

AltSmoke has great customer service and quick shipping. I highly reccommend them and their SB is one of the best (IMHO, the BEST) PV on the market today!

WOW Review by Scott

Overall

OK here is a 3 week re-cap of my experience with the SB. This thing at 6 volt is incredible.... i do have to second the guy in early posts, Rob you need to invent something so we can hang this brute around our necks or belt hoop holster thingy HAHA i get teased at work all the time about my new baby bottle, it is great laying in bed and vaping away wow. i got the wife a Joye 510 all and all it is ok but the SB is the unit you need and go with the 6volt and high MG juice, higher the better to start it will take the edge off. Hats off to a great product and customer service (Posted on 1/30/2010)

Great job on the SB ! I'm very impressed! Review by c_jay@southslope.net

I read up on this unit for about 3 days and checked out the other big battery mods and I figured that the SB was the unit for me.
Selling points for me :
1) Looked solid built
2) Scalloped button or recessed button { looked like it would be hard to have it go off in your pocket or where ever you would carry or place it.}
3) Lots of burn time ..big battery life
4) Looks sharp...no LED's needed ...simlpe & very sharp
5) Could hardly find a bad word about the unit..the worst I found was ..LOOKS PLAIN......{whatever}!!!! I figured I'll take plain over a poorly designed unit and if that was the worst complaint I could find.....it must be a good product.The other units I checked out all had a small mechanical issues of one type or another or they were hard to handle or uncomfortable to use.

Well I purchased the SB in the color choice of Silver 01/10/2010 <huge grin on my face right now!>
Within a matter of minutes I had an e-mail from Rob saying its in package ready for mailing....WoW!!!! Thought to myself.
3-days later... there it is!!! again ....WoW !
This SB is everything I read up on.
SB is a "rock solid' dependable unit. I have used the SB for 2- 1/2 days straight no battery drainage.The button is great,easy to use and comfortable and no mis-fires.Great vape out of the 510 atty purchased from Altsmoke. I ordered the batteries & the charger and a few extra atty's & carts 510's / 801's and a 510 to 801 adapter from them to and I have no complaints on those items.
Everything was packaged very nice and tight ..invoice included ...& very fast service not to mention Friendly to boot!
I just don't think it could get any better than this........My final word....If you want BLinG by a RING and if you're looking for a "solid" great vape'n toke......Buy the SB from ALTSMOKE!!!! { another BIG grin on my face!!!}
Cya when the fog clears....Jay (Posted on 1/25/2010)

Excellent Review by Brian

I could not be more happy with the SB. Great job Rob and Chad. Great products, great customer service, and great knowledge base. Keep up the good work. (Posted on 1/24/2010)

Awesome!!! Review by Baby Huey

What can I say? I am glad I listened to and read the other reviews. I love this SB. It works great, vapes great, and looks great. Right now I would no recommend another mod before this one. Great job Rob and Chad. Great customer service, knowledge base, and products. Keep up the good work guys. (Posted on 1/24/2010)

So far So Good Review by Ricardo

The Black Silver bullet is working wonders for me. I like it alot. I take it everywhere including work. The only thing that i wish i was really clear about( i believe its my fault for doing thorough research) if the kit when you buy the first time came with a cart. Nice finish on the Black Silver bullet, it looks like the coating will never come off. Perfect for the size of my hands. The button looks cool, feels like it should be in heavy duty warehouse equipment, but it has this awsome comfort to it. this is my first atomizer thats not a wimpy looking imitation analog. Im very happy ill definitely buy from Altsmoke again. (Posted on 1/24/2010)

excellent Review by james

i got a SB and couldnt have asked for a better device... best customer sevice and shipping. (Posted on 1/24/2010)

Wow... Review by Silatrell

PV's are common in several different form factors. From mass produced mini's to one off MODS. There is something that seems to be rarely taken into consideration except by a select few, and that's craftsmanship. The Silver Bullet exudes craftsmanship.

The first thing I noticed was the polish. I pulled it out of the packaging and marveled at the shine, afraid to touch it with anything other than white gloves for fear of fingerprints. It is smaller than it looks, but still nice and 'beefy.' The atomizer connector is set perfectly, standing proud enough to take the vent holes into account, but recessed enough to not snag.

Then I unscrewed the casing, the threads are perfectly machined, and it unscrews smoothly, anti-galling compound had already been added, a relief since I hadn't made it to a hardware store to find any yet.

The switch has a fantastic tactile feel. You have to intend to push the button, it won't fire accidentally. I scrutinized the machined recess, thinking if the polish job was going to fall short it would be around the switch, but it doesn't, it has the same high quality that the finish has everywhere else.

After waiting an eternity for the batteries to charge I slid an 18650 in. The ground spring is stiff, you need to push to get the unit to screw together, but the battery doesn't rattle in the slightest. I screwed in an atty, topped off a cart, and took my first vape. Holy cow! It can't be any different than a standard 510 battery at 3.7 can it? But it is, the batteries are outputting a little more than 4 volts fresh off the charger, what an experience!

This product is skillfully crafted, it has that which is rare in this day and age of mass-produced items, craftsmanship.

These guys proudly declare the American-made quality of the Silver Bullet, they should! Great job!

The purchasing experience was what I've come to expect in this tight-knit community of vapers and their suppliers. I placed the order on a Sunday night, and had a tracking number in maybe an hour. I had to wait until Thursday to have this in my hand due to a holiday. Everything (SB and Batteries) Were packed carefully in a standard Priority Mail box.

You rarely see anything negative written about the SB, this isn't a rampant case of fanboy-ism, AltSmoke has a well deserved reputation as far as I'm concerned.

This was my first MOD purchase, probably my last. Why spend this money on anything else that is as hit or miss as the stuff you get supplied from China. I wish I'd gone this way for my first PV, but then I wouldn't have known just how much better vaping can be with a great unit!

Thanks AltSmoke, no buyer's remorse here. (Posted on 1/21/2010)

Love this thing!! Review by Greg W

I have had my silver bullet for about 2 weeks. I could not be happier with it. It has worked perfectly 100% of the time. I obsessively researched what I would get for my first mod. Over and over I saw folks posting about having small problems with other mods yet every review and post about the silver bullet talks about how reliable and well made it is. Obviously some people do not like the size. To me it is a non-issue. It was smaller then I thought it would be actually.

Shipping was also super fast and the one question I had was answered quickly via e-mail.

My only suggestion for the next version would be a magical finish that looked this sexy yet did not smug or scratch...

Silver bullet the best Review by Rich L

The Silver bullet has a great throat hit with 6 volts. I brought the Bullet on New Years eve once my Protoege from Puresmokers died "again". I emailed Rob and he emailed me right back. (I was shocked with the response on a holiday). I told him my problem with the protege and asked him where to get the six volt batteriy option. He sent my the link and shipped the Bullet VERY FAST. Rob you are the man and I will send you a lot more business. (Posted on 1/18/2010)

The SB is a bomb Review by Gonkulor

I waited a few days for the SB to arive and once it did.... holy crap. What an item. Rob did an awsome creating this... My previous items all were from NJoy and this is my first forray into the alternate universe of modded vaping. The SB is a fricken monster... My cowerkers, who still don't understand vaping, tagged this thing as the Steelly Dan cause they thing I should be using in a porn movie.... If they only knew....

Bum chick chicka wow wow.

The SB produces what you would expect from a 510 and lasts foreva.... that's prolly the best part of it....
I also got a BB with a passthrough... omg... there is the bomb diggity (Posted on 1/18/2010)

TOTALLY AWESOME VAPING!! Review by Donald

Hey Rob-the SB is the ultimate answer to good vaping and long battery life. I opted to use it at 3.7 volt for longer atomizer life, and I'm truely not disappointed! I was using the DSE901 mini e-cig and I was getting less and less vapor and battery life. I had to carry around 6 or 8 batteries when going any distance and it was getting to be a real pain. Plus I had to add VG to the mix just to get a decent vapor. All of my 901 atomizers were getting less and less responsive and I thought they were just going bad. I put one of the old atomizers on the SB and it performs as well as a new one! I may try the 510 atomizers later but for now I am very happy with the results I am getting. I ordered the 510 to 901 adapter with the SB and it's working out very well. Now, the battery life---I have used the SB for the last day and the battery has only dropped down to 3.8 volts! Quite a difference from the old 901 minis! I may try the 6 volt option later on but for now I am totally happy. Oh, and the shipping-I ordered the SB from you on Monday and received it 2 days later on Wednesday. Thanks so much for the fast shipping and for answering all of my questions quickly.
Now for the real review--
The SB is a very solid device, a little heavy but shows quality in building. The push button is solid, easy to push with any finger you want, quality built. The vapor is consistent with the 3.7 volt battery and doesn't decrease after a few minutes of use. It gives the e-juice much more flavor to taste with no burnt taste to it. I like the feature that it can be stood on end and you can see it from anywhere in the room. my old 901s were hard to find when I laid them down. I think you have developed an amazing vaping machine! If I was giving it an overall rating of 1 to 10, I would have to give it at least a 15!! Keep up the good work, Rob!
The only thing I would like to come up with is a pouch and lanyard to hang it around my neck so I can use it while driving or mowing grass without having to hold it in one hand all the time. Any suggestions or ideas??
One last thing that I have to mention-my son Scott in Omaha, Nebraska, is the one who recommended me to get a SB from you, and he didn't go wrong! I was almost ready to give up vaping when he told me about the SB, and now I can't live without one. So give him a pat on the back and a thumbs up for a job well done!
The only problem that I have now is-if my wife gets jealous of me giving the SB more attention than her and gives me the choice of either her or the SB, what am I to do????? I love both of them very much!
Thanks again for everything and keep up the good work!! (Posted on 1/16/2010)

Silver Bullet - Vaping Heaven Review by GREG

Overall

The short review: BUY IT

The longer review:
I started searching for options and found the e-cig.

Sadly, I found another vendor that we shall call GSmoke and purchased their nifty 2 piece ecig and kit. Bad move. Okay vapor and taste - dead batteries shortly thereafter, leaving me perpetually waiting on a recharge.

Next, did a little more research and settled on the ubiquitous 510. Of course, having been burned by the batteries on the GSmoke, I went in prepared and bought a 5 pack of batteries so I could rotate them in & out as needed. A little better but NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

Finally, I found the Silver Bullet and now I never have to worry about batteries ever again. Let's put it this way: I received my SB on Wednesday 1/13 and it now Friday 1/15 - I AM STILL ON THE SAME BATTERY AND HAVE NOT YET RECHARGED IT.

I don't think that this is normal as I had read that the batt would last a day at best but DAMN I am not complaining. Furthermore, this thing is built to last. Its very solid and has a very positive feel in my hand. It is larger than I thought it would be but its well worth it and I got used to it fast. PLUS, all of the carts and attomizers I bought for the 510 plug right in with no adapters.

Bottom Line: I AM NOW DONE PURCHASING E-CIG EQUIPMENT.

If you are a heavy vapor, if you hate it when your batteries die out, if you are paranoid about being stuck in traffic with nothing to vape/smoke....if you are looking for the last word in PVs - BUY ONE NOW.

Thanks to everyone at AltSmoke for putting out an outstanding product the exceeds expectations. (Posted on 1/15/2010)

Great product Review by Del

The silver bullet is a great product. This construction is solid, durable and very functional. It works great with all my other products using the adapters that are available. It's a solid unit. I purchased a screwdriver and was very unhappy with this product. In comparison the silver bullet is miles apart. The only minor concern I might have is going through an airport with this unit. I might have to go through a real shakedown. Great product thanks sincerely Del Williams (Posted on 1/15/2010)

SB ,Best Vape and Very Well Made!!! Review by Joseph

I have 17 different vaping devices,by far The SB IS THE BEST. Tried 3.7v first and found it produced very good vapor and smooth throat hit. Then tried 6v and SB made even better vapor and strong throat hit. I like the SB VERY,VERY,MUCH!!! Battery tube is very well made, chance of cross treading slim to none. Button switch is well built and does not look like it will fire by accident. Overall 10 by 10. I am well pleased. Next purchase will be The BB. THANK YOU, ROB! (Posted on 1/13/2010)

Alt Smoke has it all!!! Review by Corey

First off I must say that Rob, and the AltSmoke crew are AMAZING!!!
Incredible customer service. I asked WAY too many questions, and they were more than willing to answer every single one of them.
As for the Silver Bullet.... It hasn't been more than an arms length away since I've received it. Insane vapor production, even @ 3.7v.
I ordered it on a Thursday, received it Saturday (lightning fast)

Customer Service: 10/10
Shipping 10/10

The silver bullet is the greatest since sliced bread! Review by Joni

I have every vaping device known to man and this one takes the cake. No misfiring, no odd configurations, just goodness. I use it with two RSR123A 3v batteries for six volts and it is unstoppable. The vapor it produces is smooth and warm, and all of my liquids taste better using it. The guys at Altsmoke are johnny on the spot too, I ordered on Monday I was vaping on Saturday! Four thumbs up (hubby had one too and agrees)! (Posted on 1/10/2010)

SB Review by Mystik or Sher

Overall

WOW !!!! I've always been an inconspicuous smoke so I orderd the Black SB. Probably should of ordered the Silver so I could find it in the dark! Love Love Love this baby. My first E-cig and can't understand why ppl waste money on anything less. Add in the Full Flavor Tobacco!!!!! Thank you Rob for a great product, and great service. Would add more but need to order more liquid ;0 !!!!!! (Posted on 1/9/2010)

I Love My Silver Bullet! Review by Scott

Overall

I read many opinions, reviews, and watched some video reviews at YouTube (a special thanks to Rob (terraphon) & Nick (aka GrimmGreen) for your candid video reviews - they allowed me to see what the Silver Bullet was and what it was capable of), and made a decision to buy a Silver Bullet.

Rob, here at AltSmoke, answered the questions I had before ordering, and once I placed my order, the package was in my hands a couple of days later. I bought the Silver Bullet and got both the 3.7v & 6v setup & went with a 510 atomizer.

The Silver Bullet is amazing. At 6v I was absolutely amazed. I experienced a nice warm vapor, full of flavor, and it was pretty overwhelming at first. At 3.7v, the Silver Bullet was equally impressive with incredible vapor. In either case, the battery life is totally off the charts.

The quality of the Silver Bullet is solid but not too heavy, it feels great in your hand, and the switch feels like it will last forever. This is clearly not a toy, it’s a device built with great American quality and craftsmanship behind it! The Silver Bullet has truly raised the standards when it comes to the quality in the hardware we use.

For now, my venture is over. I have found a quality device which provides me great vapor with great flavor and long battery life.

If you are sick of screwing around with cheap junk, tired of taking monster drags just to produce tiny amounts of vapor, fed up with changing batteries every hour, it’s time to step up to a quality product that will let you leave all that nonsense behind. Own a Silver Bullet! Your journey for a great device will come to an end. Buy one and don’t ever look back! (Posted on 1/9/2010)

Simple put Awsome! Review by Capevette (James)

The SB is awsome

The quality of the device is unsurpassed Review by Michael

The quality of the device is unsurpassed, the black finish is impeccable, the button works flawlessly, the customer service was excellent, and it vapes like a champ at 6 and 3.7 volts. The SB is smaller than I originally assumed by looking at pictures and videos, which is also a good thing. For everyone looking to purchase a new e-cig look no further than the SB (and I assume the BB is equally as nice). Overall, The SB far exceeded my expectations which were very high to begin with. A very high quality product; you will not be disappointed.

Thank you Altsmoke for your wonderful product

10/10 Review by LoneWolf

Chrome Silver Bullet - Exceeds Excellence Review by Gene

Now that I have had over 48 hours to play with my new SB that I just received, I find it hard to use anything else in my collection of PVs and Mods. I have been a huge fan of the 510 for a very long time. Had an 801 that just didn't produce with consistency. But now I have had the opportunity to use the SB at 6 volt as I do not have any 3 volt batteries yet. Awesome vapor with any of the atomizers! At 6 volt I do not like using the 510 atty because it's to harsh and the atty gets to hot since it is a hot burner at 3 volts anyway. The 901 is strong, but find myself constantly reloading the cart with liquid. The 801 atty is at the top, just perfect with long smooth draws and less frequent reloading of liquid. I bought this unit because I had an ample supply of RCR123As... they work great, but I still ordered the recommended 3.0v @ 750mAh LIFEP04 batteries and charger that Rob says he uses. I couldn't be more delighted with the craftsmanship and the fantastic service that I have received from Rob @ AltSmoke. Thanks for a GREAT product !! (Posted on 1/5/2010)

Fabulous for heavy vapers Review by Jeff

Overall

I've been vaping for about three months using a Titan 510. (Same as a Yeti) I found it to be an excellent product. The only problem was battery life and cartridge size, neither lasting very long. Being an extremely heavy vaper this was a pain. And then I got a Silver Bullet. I've had it for all of one day and am ecstatic. Here's my initial impressions: Battery life is incredible (using 3.7 volt), vapor production is amazing, taste is stronger, using a cartomizer and it lasts a lot longer than the standard 510. It's built like a tank and could probably be used as a knucle duster in a pinch. As an added benefit AltSmoke service is simply excellent. I couldn't be happier! (Posted on 1/5/2010)

Awesome Review by Michael

I use mine with the 510 atomizer and it's excellent. (Posted on 1/5/2010)

Siilver Bullet Review by Chuck

Great home vaping product, and shipping and email communication was excellent.

Still waiting to try out 2 3 v batteries for that 6 volt hit but at 3.7 it lasts at least all day for me and although its a bit hefty, I think it is awesome especially for home use.

I do wish someone would come up with a better dripping mechanism and larger cartridge size. Have seen the GG but believe it is pretty overpriced for that AutoFull Mechanism.

hey maybe AltSmoke can improve on the original - bigger cart and some sort of autofill/drip mechanism - how about it guys ????? (Posted on 1/5/2010)

Gotta get it! Review by Kre8t0r - Mike

All I can say is it is a work of art! I think this thing will become a part of my hand quickly. I had my RCR123A's waiting here already, started at 3.7 while I waited for the big boys to charge and now I am in 6v heaven!! You are the man Rob! Great product I couldn't be happier. I just need to find the polish for my harley and shine her back up! (Posted on 1/4/2010)

Love it Review by Robert

I ordered the Silver Bullet because the switch went out in my Prodigy. Good folks at Puresmoker, so I'm not knocking them or their product. I just wanted a backup and I figured I might as well try something else.

I'm glad I did.

From the moment the SB arrived (and quickly I might add), I was in love. Nice solid feel, screws in very smoothly. Very nice switch. Switch looks and feels more sturdy than my other PV.

I love the 6v. I've heard that 5v is the sweet spot. I'd have to disagree. 6V feels like a real cigarette.

One thing that makes no sense to me at all is that my batteries seem to last longer in my SB than in my Prodigy. You'd figure more voltage would mean quicker battery drain. But that isn't the case. My 2 CR123's last me pretty much all day. A couple of days of heavy vaping required me to switch off late night but normally that wasn't necessary.

I've been heavy vaping the same 510 atty for 2 weeks without a problem.

As another reviewer stated, there have been a couple of times when I had to remove the batteries and put them back in to get the SB to fire. But I've had that with other PV's as well.

Finally, I bought the SB as a backup but it's not a backup at all. It's the main go-to. Buy one with confidence. (Posted on 1/4/2010)

Black Silver Bullet Review by MATTHEW

I will review this for what it is: a big, manual battery. It won't solve international disputes or give you six pack abs, but it will give you hours and hours of vaping joy without having to change the batteries.


Shipping/Order
Ordering was simple. I've seen simpler interfaces, but it was more than sufficient. I ordered on 12/12/09 and received it on 12/28/09. I knew when I ordered there was an estimated shipment of 12/19/09, but a slight delay meant it shipped 12/23/09 and USPS took their time shipping and shredding my package. But this is a review of Altsmoke, not USPS. So, while I didn't receive my BSB before Christmas, Altsmoke did a fine job updating the site and communicating through ECF the status of the units.


Impression
The Black Silver Bullet (BSB) is well designed and proportioned and the satin black finish is excellent. I can't say enough about the beauty of the switch. Elegant and functional, the chrome switch color and surround are gorgeous. I'm very glad now I ordered the BSB-- I can't imagine always cleaning fingerprints from the SB. The two halves of the unit come together solidly with impeccable fit and finish.

Don't flood your BSB. It's a little easier to do than a traditional 510 but just as messy.


Size/Weight
When I received my package, I thought something was missing or that the smaller BB was sent by mistake. It is considerably smaller than I expected after reading and watching numerous reviews. It fits perfectly in my hand and the button can be easily activated by thumb or index finger.


Performance
* At 3.7v (using LC 18650/2400 mAh) - Performance is the same as a traditional 510. I get no additional vapor or flavor and, as I go through the battery's lifecycle, it seems I get less vapor at times. That's the downside of the 18650. The upside is it lasts for 2 days plus for me, but somewhere on day 2 the vapor slowly lessens. I've not actually timed the battery life since I've been recharging after the second day.


* At 6v (I'm using 2xRCR123A/750 mAh) -
When vaping at 6v, expect to go through twice the liquid (or more). It's the trade-off of 6 volts. You get incredible, warm throat hit, enhanced flavor, and billowing clouds of vapor. You also get more nicotine, which can be good or bad. Now I'm no scientist, but I can get a nicotine rush from the BSB at 6v if I vape too much. The upside of that is I actually vape less at 6v because that 'itch' is scratched. Also, flavors of liquids can be different (better and worse) at higher voltage, so play around. Also, at 6v, you pretty much have to direct drip. Otherwise, the filling taste foul.


Final Thoughts
1. Buy battery cases. I bought two and wish I'd bought 3. They're tough to get elsewhere and, after shipping, more expensive everywhere else.
2. Get two 18650 batteries and you're set for a while. I bought too many.
3. Use your discount (if available). I didn't see the code until after I ordered.
4. Purchase some juice designed for high voltage vaping. My favorite liquid doesn't work with the BSB, but some liquids I didn't care at 3.7v for taste AWESOME at 6v.

I am truly satisfied by my purchase and would recommend it to anyone. I love having the option of 3.7 or 6v vaping. I love the look and feel, love the throat hit and flavor, but mostly I love not having to change batteries every 30-60 minutes or being chained to my computer by a pass-through.

Awesome! Review by no1garbologist

Man, the silverbullet rocks! This thing produces stupid amounts of vapor with a 901 adapter and a 901 atty. The SB at 6-volts will always be in my every day use box without a doubt! (Posted on 1/2/2010)

Amazing! Review by Lawrence

Overall

After a long time researching, I finally found AltSmoke and their Silver Bullet! I've never seen anything like it. It is beautiful to look, perfect weight to hold, and the right amount of vapor. I truly love the throat hit of the 6v batteries in the device. But for relaxing vaping, the 3.7 volt battery works just fine. It's funny how a beautiful device can become such a big part of my life. I don't go anywhere without it. I hope to one day try the BB with its usb attachment since I'm on the computer so much. I want my wife to get one of AltSmokes devices. I would recommend the Silver Bullet to anyone. Thanks AltSmoke! (Posted on 12/31/2009)

Silver Bullet passes the "Bad Day Test" Review by NORM

I had seen all the great reveiws on the SB so I wanted to do a "bad day test". You know the days where you and your PV is not getting along. When my SB arrived I set up the worst situation I could think of:
1. Batteries on the low end of charge
2. The worst atomizer I owned
3 Some juice that was far from my favorite
4 Not the most ideal wool for vaping
My thinking if I wanted to see the worst before I saw the SB in the best of condition. Not only did the SB perform well in its worst condition, it out performed my PV I was using at its best. So when I put the good stuff in WOW!!!! I'm in heaven. Thanks Rob and Chad (Posted on 12/31/2009)

Fantastic service, great products. Review by Ronald

I got the SB kit,and some juice. The items were very well pkgd, and shipped quickly. This is my first mod, only had minis up till now. It took me some time to learn how to utilize the SB, so I wasn't very impressed at first. I didn't think it was much better than my 510 on the PT. However, having now used it for a few days, this thing rocks! It is very consistant, and just billows vapor. The flavors I got were pretty good also, the banana, and the tasty peach. I added a little VG to them to pump up the cloud, but they were both really good before as well.
Thank You Altsmoke, I appreciate a good business transaction, and will be ordering more stuff in the near future. :):):) (Posted on 12/31/2009)

Veeeeeeery Nice!!! Review by Debbie

I love it. I'm getting so much more flavor out of my ejuices. And I love the fact that the battery lasts so much longer than the megas I've been using. I can vape all day. Yummmm...

It was so simple to get started too. Just screwed it into my 510 atty and cart. (Posted on 12/27/2009)

Great unit but with a couple of glitches Review by citesteamer

I have recently ordered 2 Silver Bullets (1 black, 1 silver) for my me and my wife. As for performance, at 6V, the vapor production is off the charts and beyond my wildest expectations. The only problem with 6V generally is that is fires through juice (up to 5ml a day) and it fries some flavors (although it enhances others such as tobacco). I have yet to try the unit at 3.7V.

Also, I have been using 510 attys with the units and haven't had an atty fail in over 2 weeks. Overall, we are very pleased with our silver bullets and the other vapers who have tried the unit are blown away by its performance.

There are some problems with the units; albeit they are minor. First , I love the finish on the black model but the silver model is very proned to scratches. Second, sometimes the 3V batteries need to be resituated before they will fire up the atty ( bottom to top, take out and put back in, etc.). These are minor problems.

The main problem has to do with the 6V application and the need to flood the atty at all times (as to avoid overheating and popping). Actually, it performs its best at 6V when flooded. BUT, that flooding can be extremely messy. The juice will start to overflow and, if you don't continuously vape from the time of direct dripping (usually 5-6 drops), the juice will leak all the way down the side of the unit (sometimes into the switch). I would love to see a reservoir around the atty threads to keep the juice from flowing down the side of the unit. That would keep the overflow contained. I think that it would be a good idea because I have noticed that, sometimes it will bead around the atty, and, if you draw on the unit, the juice sucks back up into the atty. The reservior would allow that juice to go back into the atty; hence avoiding messy and wasteful leaking.

Aside from those minor problems, we are completely satisfied with our Silver Bullets. But, I would LOVE to see some sort of aftermarket reservoir for the flooding. (Posted on 12/23/2009)

Couldn't be happier with this Review by George

Wonderful unit. Extremely well constructed. Love the switch. I got the Black Bullet and it looks really sharp. I would heartily recommend to anyone looking for a solid, high-performance battery mod. (Posted on 12/19/2009)

Ferrari Built Like a Tank Review by Daniel

This has been an awesome piece of equipment and art. It is wonderfully smooth and well thought out. This is a very versatile and perfectly functioning device. Wonderful with my 510 and has brought new life to my 901 and 801 collection that had been gathering dust.

It does use a lot of juice as to be expected at the six volts I run it at. The rich warm flavors and plumes of vapor justify it though.

While expensive in the start up you will save greatly as time goes on. Definitely a worthy investment for the serious long term vaporer. (Posted on 12/18/2009)
