vapemudgeon Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 (edited) I got my "Bartleby" November 13th but I decided to wait for a bit before posting a review of the "Bartleby", a 3.7v box mod by cybervex. I wanted to be sure to put it through the full vapemudgeon wringer ! First let me say that Jay at cybervex was very helpful and kind from the get go. I e-mailed him with some questions before I decided to order and within an hour he wrote back with answers and recommendations as to what would best suit my needs. Now the real test was the fact that I can be a bit of an obsessive compulsive ! Sooo, 'ol Jay had to put up with a plethora of successive and ever more redundant emails before, during and after placing my order ! Jay took them all in stride and never came across as frustrated by my pestering. He replied to all promptly and friendly. Though he did charge me a rather exorbitant fee for "Therapy"..... ! The order was placed on a Saturday and I received it the following Friday. The package contained : The box mod, 2 protected 3.7v rechargeable batteries $50 (Standard shipping is included. Priority available for $6.50). I added to my order the available USB cord for an extra $2.50 When I received the unit I was excited to use it and was delighted to find that the batteries were already charged and ready to go (I'm sure Jay didn't want ANYMORE emails !). My inspection of the unit found very meticulous craftsmanship with all of the internal organs being securely installed and neatly protected. O.K., enough of that, lets get to the fun stuff ! To this point my vaping experience had included the poor performing blu and then a not much better performing dse901. Now the "Bartleby" can be ordered ready to receive either the 510, 801 or 901 atty. As my existing unit was the 901 I had atty's so that was the option I went with. Upon first toke I was blown away with the improved vapor performance ! It offered at least double what I was used to from my 901. I was overjoyed !!! Then as a few days went by the performance began to get a bit inconsistent. Now, I do think it was probably that way from the start, I probably just didn't notice because it was such an improvement over my 901. I (Tearfully), was disappointed ! Though thinking back My 901's had quite a bit of mileage so...... But then, the dark skies opened up and the angels sang as the VT forum GODS (On the mod forum) gave me a vision that 510 atty's sent from heaven would be the answer to my prayers. So, with trembling hand (And the afore mentioned tear filled eyes) I went to altsmoke.com and ordered a 901 to 510 adapter and some coveted 510 atty's. For three days I sat on my curb, modestly vaped and waited for Burt the gun toting mailman (Ya don't give Burt no s*** !)............................. And then, three days later, he came. As he turned down my block I rose from the curb and began to run towards his approaching mail jeep.... In slow motion I ran towards him as he putted towards me... like the movie "10" we came ever closer until I saw Burt remove his can of dog spray from its holster and aim it out of the jeeps sliding door............ I jumped into a hedge and cowered (As we all do) until heat-pack'n Burt filled my mailbox with little pieces of joy. As soon as the coast was clear I RAN to the mail box, tossed the bills to the wind and retreived my little package of salvation. I took many paper cuts that day my friends as I tore into that red, white and blue package of love ! I attached the adapter to the 510 atty, gently threaded it to my "Bartleby" and.................... Oh, I'm sorry, I lost myself there for a minute ! Well, anyway, suffice it to say that I have finally entered vaping nirvana. This "Bartleby" with a 510 atty is an awesome unit. I am continually amazed at the throat hits and clouds of vapor hit after hit (Especially now that I have added some great VTS juice) ! I suppose I should now talk about the battery life of the "Bartleby".... But I honestly don't know what that is. I purchased a Motorola cellphone car charger with a compatible plug to the one recessed in the unit and use it in my work truck and then use the USB cord that I purchased with the unit while I'm surfing the net and voila never a dead battery. So, if you're looking for an inexpensive battery mod that is sturdy and offers great performance, I highly recommend the "Bartleby" by cybervex ! I obviously do also think the 510 version would be the model of choice. It would be a great noobie first mod !! I'll say here that not only am I a bit goofy, I'm also a computer knucklehead ! I don't know how to post an image, so heres the link to find out more about the "Bartleby". We'll see if I get that right !!! http://eboxmods.blogspot.com/ Edited November 22, 2009 by vapemudgeon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vapemudgeon Posted November 28, 2009 Author Share Posted November 28, 2009 Great price for a mod. I would love to see a video review of it. Yeah, it has been well worth the price ! Presently I don't see the need for further purchases (Although that spade sure looks cool !!). This "Bartleby" is still hit'n great ! And, vapersplace (Welcome by the way), as Gazoo said TGWTF (The Guy with the Fedora) has a video review ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stompasaurus Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Anxiously waiting for mine to arrive.. I have been looking at this mod for a while and had to buy it over the others for a few reasons - - Price can't be beat - Built-in USB charger/passthrough (this is the one that finally got me - the only thing stopping me from buying any of the other custom mods was the fact that I didn't want another charger to F with) - Kill switch so I can safely carry it in my pocket I could have wired up a similar box for myself, and still might since I love doing that sort of stuff, but it wouldn't look nearly as good as this one or have the USB features. Plus he has made enough of these that he has the design down to a science, when I make my own I'm sure it'll be ugly as hell. I'll see if I can follow up with a review once I get mine (I'm guessing by Thursday I'll have it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
