It must prey upon tiny demons?

True


How do you like the Demon Killer? How is the draw?
When I first saw that I figured flavor would be great, but that it might be too hot for low builds, and that maybe something like 0.7 - 1.2 Ohm would be a good range in one of those...

Surprisingly, a cloud chucker

Built it at .7 ohm, plain old 28g SS

The ultem cap helps against heat of course - can't say on flavor, got a little stuffed up last night and this morning

For $7, I'm happy so far. I see they are up to $11 now

No doubt, it becomes more of a want than a need. I vaped on a REO Grand and an Odin for about three years. Stayed away from the forums. Curiosity got the better of me, and seeing how much squonk stuff is out now has dragged me down the rabbit hole.

Yep, it does seem to be a little bit of an age for squonking. *chuckles* Next week we'll all be oooh-ing and aaah-ing over Njoy cig-a-likes. *grin* Which is about where I come in, wife needing me to quit smoking. Then, on to Ego styled mods and Edov styled clear-o-mizer tanks. "Oh lookie, box mods ..." Next I knew some Spanky was whispering to me about Goons. A video or two by Mr. Todd and I'm sunk into squonking on mechs.

Keep seeing all kinds of Help Wanted signs. They seem too far away for me, or I've found myself lacking the skills required. So, I'm over with Tesla singing about signs. ;) Meanwhile, I'm being a busy little house husband. Keep our apartment well in control. So much so I work myself out of work. Then, well, not much of anything.

Got a brilliant idea to open an independent HVAC/Plumbing shop here local. Nobody really is local here, one or two junction shops but Parkersburg to Charleston is as local as any get big shop. So I thought swell, I'd go get a nice grant for our local Vocational school, get the certifications and then a bit of a loan to set up a shop. Then, it dawned on me I'd need to hire someone to drive me, buy a new truck even. That idea leapt out the window.

Saw a random fact of the day yesterday evening too. Grand Theft Auto 5 took oh around $270 million to make. When it was released it took 72 hours to gross back $1 billion. Told my wife, yep, everybody even love video games about driving. Shame my mind doesn't 'go there' and I get terrified behind a steering wheel of a car/truck. Hell, I could get all kinds of big Truck driving jobs if I only drove. I don't drive though. *chuckles* Uber and Lyft are in need of me as a driver as well. *shaking my head laughing*

Sounds like they may soon reach $20. I had pondered these from a far/ a fire/affair. Do not like hearing they are biased as cloud chuckers. I like breaking stuff in to a nice moderate. Sounds like that's what you were aiming at as well. Still might eventually need to get one and see if my M3 magic can work on it, maybe something I do you don't or don't know, but I kind of doubt it. *chuckles* Bet they're also a PITA to build on?

@JuicyLucy

Thanks for the reply and the info. Not sure I'd want to go tiny-er than the Wasp Nano.

How would you compare it to the Wasp Nano?

That looks more like a Driptech-TS than a Pico Squeeze to me...


I think he was saying that He would not be proper in sticking his pinky out whilst using his humble Pico Squeeze

Sort of like Me being like the guy in the pinto, holding $30 worth of clones and sticking my pinky out, just being silly :)

@Pegleg Meg
Ok. Thanks for the clarification.:)

That one went right over my head. :sad:

I'm not up to my preferred nic saturation level yet, and my brain is a little slow today...

SXH Le Concorde revisited....I dug it up out of the box and put a 28gx2/38g Nichrome 80 coil in it. 2.5 mm ID 4/5 wraps at 0.38 ohms. It id nice, better than I remember but the Supersonic beats in flavor IMHO.

Easily half the size - less janky for sure - a little easier to build despite the teeny tiny deck

Am using it with the built in DT - with the Wasp I used a DT

I might rebuild it tonight with something a little more meaty and go a little lower to see how she goes. Ultem does contain heat well

I doubt you could vape this thing if it came with an SS cap without frying your lips off, even at super high ohm


Do not like hearing they are biased as cloud chuckers. I like breaking stuff in to a nice moderate.

Wouldn't call it biased towards cloud chucking - was just a little surprised at just how much vapor it put out with a pantywaste coil, lol

If you're referring to the Tiny Demon, it is a Killer! Easy as pie to build on too!

I agree - the pin swap was super-easy also

Well, I'd say you should go for it, I did! I put the same coil in it as the Concorde! 28gx2/38g Nichrome 80 coil in it. 2.5 mm ID 4/5 wraps slightly spaced at 0.37 ohms. I didn't know what flavor to vape in it so I put 4 mls 50/50 VG/PG unflavored (it actually tastes a little bit sweet) no nic just to see!

@JuicyLucy , do you get a slight whistle on the TDK? I kept twisting the cap until I got it almost closed but also over the trap screws. Whistle gone, restricted DL, just right!

I don't have one, decided to pass on that

Ooops, thought you were talking about that BK thing that reminds me of burger king, lol

No whistle at all so far

Picked up the Wismec Luxotic today. Not terribly sure what I think yet. Open to hearing anyone else's thoughts... well, reading them, anyways...

I just got my second pico. Will definitely be picking up a few more next week.

I have three and just ordered three more. The idea was to use one and keep two as backups. Well, that went out the window fast. One has a Hadaly, one has the TDK and the third has a O16 topper. The TDK replaced the Hussar rda so now I have to get another Pico for the Hussar and still have two Picos as backup!

Brewski....do the Pico's have a proprietary bottle?

Yes and no. The have a hard plastic 7 ml (or so, could be a little more) bottle but I was able to use the Arctic Dolphin silicone bottle (v1 not v2) without any problems. I think the Luxotic guys are coming out with a silicone (or at least softer bottle) that might fit as well since the use the same hard plastic bottles initially. That remains to be tested.

Where have you been buying the Pico's?

I think the folks that have them seem to like them, but what do I know, I'm hoarding Picos.......
Kinda what I'm feeling right now... Like I paid twice what it's worth for a beautified Pico. The Tobinho is certainly better than the Coral, but that ain't sayin' much...

Don't get me wrong... It's pretty though (if you can get past the huge logo on the back), but...

Fast(slow)Tech, they have the best price at $16.95 and if you pay the extra dollar or so for United States Express e-packet they get in pretty fast. In fact, just placed my order and the express one was free, since I ordered 3 of them I got another $2.50 off on the order.

My black Luxotic should sail around the Cape of Good Hope early next week. I already have something similar so not expecting anything earth-shattering. Looks like it will fit in the hand nicely though.

I hope Mike Vapes comes up with an interesting squonker. He likes the side firing buttons like the Luna has and I've been wanting to try one of those.

I still don't grok the pico-squeeze love.. It's not regulated, it uses that idiotic proprietary bottle system.

I definitely could learn to love a squonker that size that was regulated - drop in pocket.. Or even like an NC, plus room for a silicone bottle.

Or even better - VT133 size plus a bottle - nice and deep and DNA ;-)
