Custom Titanium BA-05 Review

Hi Everyone,

Finally received my custom titanium BA-05, here is my quick review:

Ordering:

I placed my order 10th October, 2023 on Etsy. The order shipped on Dec 26, 2023 and I received it 3 days later! it took just under 12 weeks, it has been worth the wait but if I was ordering again I would possibly pay for the expedited option as they take priority and from the etsy reviews people are getting those in 2-4 weeks.

I knew virtually every specification and measurement I wanted even down to the bar diameters so I provided this right at the start to try and streamline the process. I had a very comfortable cheap plastic Chinese device I wanted to try and emulate with a few minor size changes. He couldn't do the smaller ball gap I wanted without adding the extra ring which I initially didn't want to do but it works really well and doesn't add much weight.


I found the communication a bit hit and miss, to start with it was very quick but at some points it would take a few days and I would have to re prompt which was a bit frustrating at times as I just wanted to get the build spec dialled in. Once he has all the information the comms just go dead until the device turns up at your door which I found a little strange, it would be good to have the odd update or build photo but I guess he is busy and his priority is getting them out of the door. But to his credit he remembered and did everything I had asked for.

Shipping:

I was amazed how quick this was via fedex, by the time it was collected in China on the 27th it was with me less than 48 hours later!!

The Device:

I went for the BA-05 for the same reasons as the other recent review, I wanted a fairly enclosed device that also had space for easy cleaning. I had the end customised so rather than the two bars for an opening it is a square shape. I wanted the titanium to keep it as light as possible, I really dislike the heavy stainless steel cheap devices I have tried previously and it doesn't disappoint, it is so light.

I wanted the device to be anodised in a blue/purple colour, I went for 18v but it has come out a little more copper/bronze looking than I would have ideally liked, I should have gone for 20-22v I may look in to re anodising it myself. But the colour is growing on me.

I wend for the internal magic type lock and the lock it came with seems a decent quality its better than those cheap locks you get with other devices.


Final Verdict:

I absolutely love it, it is a thing of beauty and fits like a glove, its everything I hoped for.

If you are considering a custom BAW device as long as you know the specs and measurements you want, do it you wont be disappointed.

Please see the photos they also show the device I was trying to replicate:



Any questions please feel free to ask

 

They are included and you get a spare set, however I don't feel they really do that much so I may just leave them off in future, I will have to try with and without.

Yeah that's about right, not cheap but well worth the money, its vital you know your measurements 100% though or it would be very easy to waste that $400, I would suggest getting a load of cheap cages from Ali Express first to see what you like/don't like and what fits well. Then go from there when you have a good idea of your measurements. I believe he also offers a resin cage sizing service so that might be worthwhile if you are unsure.

 

Yeah it seems good quality I have an official Burg and its not quite the same his is silver, the key is more like the cheaper Chinese ones but its unique among all the locks/keys I have so thats a plus.

 

They have two barrel lock options one larger and one burg w size, i went for the burg size and my burg lock does fit fine. The lock they supply with it is a decent quality silver burg type lock, not suree what its made from

 

I would say its nearly as good as the Burg, not sure what its made of though, its silver and non magnetic, appears solid and not plated/coated, nice smooth action, nothing written on the key. Its 1g lighter than the Burg 3g vs 4g.

 

After a week of wearing it I am very happy with it, it is so comfortable and I have not found any negatives yet so its looking good.

I got permission to unlock for a few hours and try re-anodizing it to the colour I wanted, I couldn't get the vibrant purple I really wanted like my photoshopped profile pic but its a huge improvement over the original colour, its hard to capture the colour on camera, it looks much more purple IRL and it changes a lot depending on the light..

 

Just bicarbonate soda, titanium wire to hold the piece and aluminium foil for the cathode, 21.5v job done, did a lot of research but it was easier than I thought.
