The Lab Rat is a brighter white than the Blanca, the Blanca has metallic flakes in it and is more off-white than the Lab Rat. For some comparison photos, check out this blog post – WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BLANCA AND LAB RAT?
“The cerakoted albino opposite of our rat black… a base coat as white as cerakote gets, and textured with even more white… it’s just white all over the f’n place… imagine you use a white crayon on white paper… and then you go outside while it is snowing… ummm, and then some skin heads showed up to rob you….. but they get eaten by a yeti…it’s THAT type of white…”
A special Lab Rat was sold a couple of times called the Albino Lab Rat. It came with red G10 panels and a red Delrin button.

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.
