What color is the BX8? One thing is certain, it’s a shade of blue. The 2020 looks teal to me and it has been listed on Billet Box Vapor’s website as light-blue in the description, but in a blog post referencing the same listing, it’s listed as teal, so there is that. It’s a shade of blue that is lighter than the RNB (Royal Navy Blue), let’s all just agree to that. It has been explained that the slight difference in the color of the different runs of the BX has to do with the anodizing.
BX7? BX8? BX9? Each batch is a slightly different color. 7, 8, 9 only refers to the number of Bs in the name.

X9 Bright Baby Blue Bead Blasted Billet Box Black Button
No matter what they call it, I don’t see many that I would consider “baby blue”, mostly teal.

General Billet Box Info
The Billet Box is roughly the size & shape of a pack of cigarettes. It has a completely enclosed battery, chip, screen, tank, and atomizer. Billet Boxes are very customizable and there are dozens of modders that create all sorts of great addons from panels to colored Boros. They are relatively Hassle-Free and have gotten better over the years.
Billet Box was started in 2011 and saw tons of changes from that point until 2016. In 2016, there were quite a few changes including going from Rev3 to Rev4 and going from the DNA 40 chip to the DNA 60 chip. There have been very few changes since then and I can only assume this has to do with government regulations pending. I am sure that is frustrating to see with China not caring about the US Government.
Colors were introduced in 2014 with Rev.3a as well as occasional button changes. Prior to this, they were all the color of raw aluminum.
In 2016, they went away with the cover that slid up with the ball bearing to a magnet-based panel.
The Billet Box logo changed in 2018 and they started printing the logo on the body under the fire button panel at that point. Prior years, at least 2016 and 2017, the logo and year were printed inside of the panels. They also started using a presentation box with the new logo to ship the devices in.
