Yeah, Stumpy and Nuppin are just going to remain a bit hard to find, but worth it.
They both have a pretty solid long-term fan-base...including the kind of people who aren't likely to "move on" to a new fad, either.
And neither one is in production, and neither one has an available clone.

And yet, sorry..."Stumpy Nuppin" is not a brilliant band name. The bar for that is set pretty high, what with "Leaky Octopus" and "Dump in the Punchbowl" all in the same week!
:D:D

There was talk of a stumpy v2. But apparently element mods got distracted by fidget spinners

So boys and girls...
My last new MM510 was reserved for someone and wouldn't you know it, they backed out.
So I have one completed orca with the MM510, silver contacts, orange plexi door and black button.
I'll be listing it shortly in case anyone is interested.

Those doors are even more visually stunning in the hand and squonk like a motherfucker
They have ruined me for everything else. I use the Dripbox for about 10 or 15 pulls every night and if I'm out in the shop I use the walnut squonker, but 99% of my vaping time is spent with the orcas and I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything.

Yeah, I'm using them more than my Tmods at night for my "this is the life" squonking time :cool:

Speaking of spending most of the time on something... out of sheer curiosity...if you all had 3 setups that you had to choose as your favorites. What would you pick? I know personally I waste 10-15 minutes a day (sometimes more lol) trying to decide which gear comes with me today.

Granted I already know I'm going to hear nuppins and orcas everywhere lol

For me...

Brass coppervape with hadaly (the weight qualities as a self defense weapon)

Black cov wraith with hadaly (not the best mod..battery life...battery door... but it feels great in the hand...like a hug for your hand)

Lastly (not a squonk but still lol)
Kayfun mini v3 on a ego one Ct (my old pavari was stolen. ). This is my "i want to feel fancy, sipping ejuice life is good moments"

When I'm kicking it - like right now - easy

Orca with a Nuppin
Orca with a Baby Goon
Tmod with a Charm
Reo with Nuppin
Tmod with Hadaly

I like variety in the hand and the juice :)

But! also enjoy the Stumpy and Odin on top quite a bit - depends on what's happening, lol

EDIT: Oops - more than three

If I had to run out of the house due to a fire and could only take one, would grab my REO - its an old and trusted friend

orca are cheap as chips

i paid about ten bucks for enough pure [fine] silver for the contacts

shipping was the big thing, not so much on orca [11 euro from memory] but more the 510 to australia shipping was $16 usd

You reminded me to check my tracking again! I gave up yesterday out of frustration, I'll have a different 510 sourced in about 10-14 days, but the disappointment is still strong with my modmaker bits :cuss2:

Don't worry, they'll make it....eventually.
Do you have Floris drill the MM510 holes for you, or do you do it yourself?

Break out your REO - save the lesser mods for emergencies, though I love my brass CV and vape it with a Goon every day without fail

That's a tough one - and there's different answers depending on if you mean
a) Favorite, like, it's special, I like to hold it wouldn't want to lose it
or
b) Favorite, like, it's zombie apocalypse, I'm hitting the road and can only carry 3 with me so they better be indestructible.

I'll go with these, but it's GOT to be 4, and I'm still leaving behind well-love mods!!

1 - Reo Grand - old, beatup, has been travel mod, every day mod, for a couple years. Works like new. Almost always sporting a Nuppin.
2 - Orca, with another Nuppin.
3 - Galactika Vega. Really quite similar to Orca. For variety, let's say an O-16, or maybe my Hadaly.
4 - Coppervape, and let's throw a Stumpy on there.
:D

Plus side: the lukkos bottles will arrive tomorrow!
I'm also lacking a black atty for my next personal carry, so I'm eyeballing a typhon with a black cap o_O
Ohhhh the sexy.

are you doing a black orca? really show sanding errors compared to the white:xD:
Yes! And I'm not polishing them currently, it took me several days to recover from the first few I did and there's just no possible way to make it worthwhile. To be honest I've come to prefer the machined finish, I've always been a bigger fan of matte anyhow, and the texture aids in my occasional derpiness and fumbly hands.

I'm really tempted by the black orca, but the side squonk hole is just killing it for me! I wish he gave the option of no hole in the door! I'd cut a side/front hole in the solid wall part of the box and be happy with that.

Ask for the panel, they are cut to fit the enclosure you pick it with, so just add a note saying you don't want the hole in the door and I'm willing to bet it would be a non-issue.

Edit: plan your contacts before you go that route though

Thank you for that reminder, I could just see myself looking at a silver strip blocking the bottle, going: WTF happened here?

Thanks for the nice welcome to Squonkland!
Also I haven't looked into attys much, just gonna run with the Goon and plan to pick up the Vandy Vapes Pulse when it hits, happy to support Tony aka Vapor Trail Channel.
Is there anything I should keep my eye out for? I don't do clones but I don't do Hadaly / Armor prices either, and I've been on subohm tanks for awhile now.
What's a good compromise?

Welcome on board. Now a few serious recommendations:

1. Buy everything you like in triplets.
2. Get a fuckload of mods

When we switch flavors we switch entire setups.

3. Kiss your old gear goodbye. You'll never use them again.

4. Try to remain sane and not buy stuff you won't be using. So take it easy.

5. If you're not already mixing your juice, start doing it right away.

It depends where you're at! I have both the Wraith and the Kanget Dripbox 2 ( aka KVD2 around here) I just ordered a second KVD2 from my vapor store dot com for $35.95 , about half the price of the Wraith.

Ok, I just found a Chinese vendor that'll ship DHL to Dubai. They have both the Wraith and KVD2. I already have a Shenray Hadaly on the way from 3fVape, but they also have them at this site, so I"ll order another one, just in case.

They have the Kanger Dripbox 160w @ $52, the Kanger Dripbox 60w @ $36 and the Wraith @ $63. It'll cost $27 to have it shipped via DHL, which sucks but I have no choice. This will be my first one and my main concern is longevity considering the general pain in the assedness of getting the damn things. Is the CoV better quality than the Kanger?

Fucking rabbit holes.

So I'm curious. Do most people prefer the side squonk hole? I know that I don't, and from a couple of his posts I know @BrewBear also doesn't, but the vast majority of squonk mods are designed with the hole on the side. So is that actually what most of you prefer or is it just a design issue? Just a random question that came to mind.

I grew up, so to say, on the REO Grand with the side squonk hole and it doesn't bother me. Design wise with plastic mods, I can see why the side hole is needed. However, I do prefer the end squonk and for the folks with achy paws I do see where it would be almost necessary.

I am ambi-squonkerous. I switch around all day from side to door squonk, from top to edge buttons...Not really a factor for me.

I think the reason SO many are door squonks is because it's easier than figuring out a different way to wire it...they're basically all copying an internal layout that runs a strip from the button/510 connection, under the bottle to the battery bottom.
