Hello and thank you for deciding to join me for yet another review. I’m very excited today to present to you a review on the BP Mods AmpBB boro mod that was sent to me by Sourcemore in order to provide you with a fair and honest review. It’s rather refreshing to take a break from pod and disposable reviews for a change. The AmpBB is a rather odd looking boro style mod compared to others that I own or have seen. It has a 2000mah rated internal Lipo battery that has a fast charging rate of 2A/5V. It has a maximum output of 60 watts with an independent real boost chipset. It comes with lots of accessories and has light rods that are modeled after amplifier tubes to project light up on the front of the mod. It has a couple of cool features that I’ll cover later in detail but for now let’s take a look at what’s included in the kit and view some promotional images.

INITIAL THOUGHTS:
The packaging for the AmpBB is pretty much classic BP Mods packaging that I’ve seen many times in the past as I’ve reviewed many BP Mods devices through my review connection in the past with Dovpo but their marketing department has decided to stop responding to emails so I was fortunate enough to receive this sample from Sourcemore and am appreciative of their generosity.
The orange BP Mods box has a sleeve on the outside that has the AmpBB and DACBB names on it and states that it’s the Luxury Edition. As far as I know there isn’t a different kit available that isn’t Luxury Edition. The back side of the sleeve has a contents list, some features, an authenticity code, and company information.
Once opened you are greeted by an information card that starts out by talking about the designer Shane and his inspiration for the design. Also on that same side are the operating instructions and an accessory list with images. The opposite side explains the anti-condensate pads, the flush nut spanner, and suggests DIY with the spare light tubes included in the accessory pack.
The DACBB kit included in the kit comes with three drip tips, a flush nut that fits 510 tips, and a knurled adapter that fits the three included tips. I prefer using my own 510 tips but did snap a couple pictures with the adapter so you could see how it looks. Depending on the color version you pick then you get different colored tips. The gunmetal version comes with black tips while the silver version comes with white tips. I received the silver version for my review.
Also included in the kit there are two spare flush nut spanners just like the one that is magnetically attached to the front of the mod. To me this is really a brilliant design idea. I always have to dig for a tool to tighten the nuts on my boro mods or use an integrated tip instead. In the picture below you can see I have removed the spanner to show the writing underneath that says BP Mods and Designed by. The spanner is held on very securely with a magnetic connection and as I mentioned, just in case you lose one there are two spares included in the kit. Each of the three has a different design on it.
The front of the AmpBB has the fire button near the top where the opening for the boro tank begins. Below that is a small rectangular window that is lit when the fire button is pressed. Under that is a larger clear window where you can see some IC chips on the board underneath. This area is also lit when the fire button is pressed thanks to the light rods underneath that run up from the bottom to the upper small window. The lights aren’t just on and off but slowly fade after releasing the fire button.
In the second picture below you can see the anti-condensate pad that is pre-installed around the contact center pin that makes contact with the boro tank of your choice since there is not a tank included. There are extra pads included but the pads are washable but they don’t recommend using an ultrasonic cleaner for cleaning them.
The display screen for the AmpBB is very small and located on the back of the mod near the top. Just below the screen are the – and + buttons. The only things shown on the display are the set wattage or power, coil resistance, and voltage. No puff counter on this one. The wattage is adjusted in .1 watt increments but can be fast scrolled. To turn the mod on you press the fire button 5X. Three presses of the fire button will bring up the simplistic menu. The options in the menu are as follows.
The AmpBB does not come with a boro tank in the kit so this is something to keep in mind if you are thinking of buying one. I have a handful of different boro tanks and bridges. I thought it was only fitting to use the BP Mods TMD Boro Tank that I received from a review that I did for Dovpo some time ago. It seemed like a good match and worked flawlessly during my time testing the mod.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
It has been very enjoyable testing the BP Mods AmpBB boro mod. I had kind of stepped away from boro mods for a while after purchasing and testing several different ones. The AmpBB is very compact which is nice in my opinion. It’s like a square tube mod. I like that it is open with no door or cover on the sides or front. It’s been my experience that most doors or covers just draw condensation and need constant wiping. I don’t have one but read that the Ethos boro tank will also work in the AmpBB since it is open on the sides as well as being able to use most boro tanks that I am aware of.
During my time testing the AmpBB it worked flawlessly. It seemed to fire quickly with now power drop even when the Lipo battery got low. The fast charging of the 2000mah battery should give a full charge in about an hour. The coil in the TMD tank I used ran well at 33 watts and the battery seemed to last a long time.
I very much like the design where the spanner tool is attached to the front of the mod magnetically so you don’t have to search for a tool. They even took into consideration that one might lose the tool despite the magnetic connection being so strong and included two spare tools. They also made the design on each of the three different so you can somewhat customize the appearance.
Overall I was very pleased with the AmpBB. The only complaint I have is that the back corners of the mod are a little sharp when you are holding it and the lighted windows are facing you. I feel like these would have been better off tapered and given the mod a better hand feel.
I’d like to thank Sourcemore and Kavis for sending the BP Mods AmpBB Boro Mod kit for this review. Also much thanks to the readers for taking the time to read my reviews. Below is a link to the website and a discount code for you.
