Today must me MY LUCKY DAY!!!!! I've got a Nuppin and a REO rda! I already have a RM2 and like it, now I need to look for Nuppins! I'm stealing a page from @Tamer El-Meehy book (I think), if I really like it, I'm getting 3 of them! I have to limit that to atties only since some of those mods would put me in the dog house in a hurry......and I don't have a dog, much less a dog house

Sounds like you found a perfect use for that idle teak wood
I could either make a shelf for the mods and atties, or a rather small, weather resistant teak dog houseSounds like you found a perfect use for that idle teak wood
I have thought about them, but for now at least, they'll have to remain just thoughts! I'm still short 2 Nuppins, 1 RM2, 1Chalice lll and 2 Cyclones.Yep. That's my book alright

@JuicyLucy , does the Yeti come with a squonk pin? If you have to choose, Yeti or Druga?

No squonk pin with the Yeti - it takes a 3mm pin from FDV. It has to be filed down on both the threads and the head.
Druga comes with the pin, super-simple swap
Both are a little on the airy side, even when with the air choked down though
Yeti is better machined, hands down and feels much more solid
Druga comes with a lot of cool "stuff" - drip tip options galore including that super-sharp looking wide bore ultem
Druga also lends itself to a wider variety of builds and is marginally less expensive
I would not call either a MTL or even restricted lung hitter though
Me, I'm interested in that new Adkven, the Gorge - lemme know if you see that selling somewhere...
Still curious about the Odis-016, but not >$100 curious.
And still have an Oumier Wasp nano in a cart...
Oh - and there's a "Skywalker" in the cart too. That one might get dumped...we'll see.
I DO tend to prefer duals, so maybe...

Very interested in the Wasp as well, looks like a Hadaly with better airflow. That Ultem cap really needs to be polished.
Yeah - like that rendering, where it looks like glass? That'd be awesome...
Throw that cap on a drill and get yourself some buffing stuff, wouldn't take long!
Yeah! you should have it done in a day or two!
Still "fasting"? I blew theI'm gonna have to drop out of this thread if I don't get a grip
out of my "fast" but it was worth it!

True, & the problem can be easily cured with something like these Rotary Grinding Bits or better yet the 1/4” Bits.Well, I try to look on the bright side, at least they didn't forget to cut the hole!
Is the battery compartment smooth? Barbs there could be downright dangerous!
Yes, that was among the first things I looked at.

I favored Greek mechs before my commitment to a pure squonking life, & excellent deals in your price range can be found in the classifieds.
GP Paps is arguably the best tube with the smoothest switch in the industry. I can also vouch for MMV's Nanos & Poldiac. If you want a fuse, the Gus is of the highest quality although more complex than probably necessary for a simple tube mod.
The Philippines also established a respectable niche at the high end. My Kontrabida Signum & Smok-E Mountain are excellent examples of the art & were purchased used for less than $100.

just bought the peerless 2 days ago and could not be happier its just great good flavor nice clouds easy to build on squonks greatThanks Lucy! I like cheaper, cheaper is good!
Do you still rival STS with your collection of Merlin's? I've finally piffed mine away and have moved on from Augvape, too bad to, as it was a great little tank except for the seeping. The Druga looked interesting but I'll wait and see how the Peerless works out for me. I have a Recoil that is itching to be converted to BF but will require a squonker with a little more power to be fully appreciated.
Thank you!

The UD Skywalker rda is another bottom feed option.Looks interesting if you don't mind the branding.I'm a Star Wars fan so I think it's cool

3F sent me a sale announcement today. The Skywalker is one of the sale items...($14.99 each)

I realize the $1.60 savings over Fasttech is not all that significant for one. I'm a bit new to this thread, but my reading seems to indicate to be a Bonker Squonker; purchasing anything should be at an absolute minimum quantity of 3..or 10...or....

Well, not me - I get ONE of lots of stuffs. Then, if it is OUTSTANDING, I go for multiples (or authentics)...
I have more than one Reo, more than one Coppervape, and a couple Minimal-Orca's.
Multiple Nuppins and O-16's.
Then I've got one-off's of like 20 other atties, not even counting the OLD stuff, lol.

I DO!!
They're pretty awesome flavorful rdas buddy.
for me it worked best at round a .5 to .6 with air flow cut down a little. An insulated drip tip is a must for it though since it has a tiny chamber it can get a little warm.

Thanks! That's a relief. Now I can maybe stick around without putting my home up for sale.

So I got me GeekVape Peerless RDA, no the easiest to build on, but got some nice aliens from db_builders in and it vapes pretty nice. Now the reason I bought it was because it included a Squonk pin... but the manual doesn't include any instructions for installing it... the heck!
While I search that out, anyone got a recommendation for a Squonk mod that will do 125 watts ??? I know the Dripbox 160 will, but is there something better ?

To install the squonk pin, just unscrew the center pin from the bottom of the atomizer and replace it with the screw with a hole in it. On that one, the squonk pin is a little longer than the standard one.
As far as 125+w squonk mods, your pickings are slim. The Lost Vape Drone is just now starting to ship. I'm keeping my eye on that one to see how well its received by the braver folks that preordered. There's also the Lost Vape Halcyon that has a DNA200 and a lipo, but only 900mah per cell, so if you are pushing that kind of wattage, your battery life will be pretty short. Other than that, yeah, it's pretty much the dripbox 160 unless you want to step up to something more custom. Geekvape has a dual battery squonker, but it only goes up to 100w.

Thanks Brandon, So that long tube goes up inside the RDA... saw the GeekVape mod, but 100 watts not quite enough, will look at the lost vape, I've not had one of their mods before, but think I remember reading good stuff about them when T/C was all the rage.
Good luck finding the geekvape though. It is out of stock everywhere and geekvape isn't producing anymore. They replied to my inquiry on fb saying they weren't happy with it because it was too normal...
Ahh the wait for the drone...

If you like the color combo then I would say go for it, they typically exceed the 200 mark.
