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"

a replacement for your stolen one...lol.yes im a peddeler

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.

Agreed,
The appeal in this type of setup for me is the beautiful simplicity of it.
And I'm apparently the 1% that doesn't care for end-squonkers.
It's entirely possible to use a similar contact setup and make it work with an end hole, just a little more head scratching.

Just a heads up for everyone.I bought the $9 Armor v1 clone from 3fvape,which arrived yesterday,and the bottom feed pin snapped right in two as I was installing it.If anyone was thinking about getting one,avoid the cheap ones.Might try the $20 clone if I like the vape.But will only be able to use it as a regular rda now. :mad:

I forgot about the matrix too!

Does anybody know what size are the Derringer grub screws? I dropped a little sumbavagum and the chance of finding it are lower than finding a brand new Nuppin at a yard sale.
We're talking about the clone, not the authentic, the Chowder one!

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.

And this orange Orca will be making it's way to the sloughs of the Central Valley of Cali, much like Humphrey did a few years ago... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humphrey_the_Whale

Thanks @minimalsaint! I'll give it a good home!

Nice - but maybe he ate my missing MM bottles?

Were last seen heading to San Francisco and Saint said they got flushed out of the plane

It's the great mystery of 2017.
I mean.....
Are the pilots OK? Someone should call someone, maybe?
I'm trying to keep in contact with MM but I also realize there isn't shit they can do either. I just want to order again and pay extra for DHL but they don't have the SS washers.
I'm in a loop of frustration lol

OK, my bottles are on their way, should I hold my breath.....and change my name to Papa Smurf?

More like: Get on the fucking phone with Hogwarts and beg for safe passage out of Heathrow.
Who knows where our bits and bottles ended up.
I'd like to think it happened in a badass "fight scene" kind of way. Like, the pilots had to fight off hijackers and the final part of the fight was the bleeding co-pilot smashing the "open cargo door" button, saying something like "it's just been revoked" as he kicks the ULD out of the plane with the hijacker snagged on the net....
Much cooler than our envelopes falling off of a conveyor in a boring sort facility.

Men are so violent :facepalm:

I image some fucktard squonking our good shit from his bloody flat near the airport while we're here with empty wallets and nothing new to vape :cry:

Even I choke on that price :confused:

I cannot like an involuntary booze ban. Hopefully all is well.

I'm toasting my lovely wife's birthday with a bottle of Berghold Vineyard's GSM. It's a very tasty Lodi CA blend that the winemaker refuses to disclose which grapes are used. It changes from year to year, and it always sells out. :vino:I'm pairing it with a Dark Cavendish NET. Yummy!

My RA decided crippling my fingers etc. was too old school so it attacked my liver too

It's why I can't eat anything good anymore either :zombie:

Squonking is actually good for my hands, as is building

It just hurts to do it

Most people with my condition do unproductive shit like needlepoint or knitting

It sucks to just be over 30, and have bad arthritis in my knee, hip and hands. I understand the pain lucy. It sucks. Whenever it rains I walk like an old man and have trouble typing. Then I have carpal tunnel from baseball, which I'm probably getting surgery in the next year or two.

I know - I hate feeling like an old fuck :giggle:

When I first started vaping, almost all my RA symptoms disappeared and I even stopped taking prednisone once I stopped dual using over a year ago

I was getting cortisone injections twice a year, for 5 years. I stopped getting them, I was all puffed out in my knee and hip for like 3 days after the shot. Now I go to a sports doctor, and the atrophy is all gone and the really bad pain only comes with excess movement or like I said before. Rain storms. I hate rain storms now.

I took methotrexate for years, but it messed with my liver also :eek:

I'll just stop eating good stuff and squonk my candy and desserts from now on :wave:

So last night, I'm happily vaping away and think to myself, "Self, that O-atty, which is finally vaping nicely? It would vape even nicelier if you rebuilt it just a TOUCH hotter. There's just a leeeeeeetle bit of ramp-up and I hate ramp-up."
So, I did that - quite successfully. Lowered it JUST enough to make it bangin'.

Then today, I'm tracking a package that's moving faster than expected. Got all happy, thinking "ooh - look, my Stumpy's gonna get here today - that's really really fast!". But nope - it was NOT Stumpy. It was a black Odis O-atty slam cap. Which is cool, except I SWEAR I don't remember ordering that. I mean, I kinda wanted one, I just must have bought it in a small frenzy of purchases and forgot!

Conveniently, I was runnin' the O-atty (I don't always), as I mentioned. So I swapped on the slam cap.
And guess what?

Too friggin' hot.
Like "hmmm, that's kind of burning my face" hot.
Oh well. It looks good! I'll just have to try it with a different build...big heavy metal cap back in placefor now, O-atty vaping just how I like it.

I kinda' thought you got the first Stumpy but wasn't sure so....silence is golden, duct tape is silver. In any case, glad one of us got both of them, enjoy it!:vino:

My absolute cheat food would either be ice cream in general, or Portuguese custard tarts. I'm a really healthy eater by default. If you need any healthy recipes or anything let me know

Oh mannn, you guys are even more of a family than I thought... Arthritis is the worst. And I'm only 45. Add to it a horrible case of shakes from years of drug abuse and I'm as bad as Katherine Hepburn sometimes.
Annnnd I have bad liver damage from my boozing career too. Been living the clean life for awhile now after some intensive rehabilitation. Big hugs Lucy!!
I literally feel your pain.

And Humphrey! Dude. @gopher_byrd , I lived at Ox Bow Marina at the time, that was a huge event!! He just would NOT go past the Rio Vista Bridge!

Holy cow, I went to Rio Vista High School for my freshman year, lol

But that was in the late 70s

I wish - no dairy, no wheat or grains or cereals, no process sugar, highly processed food in general, especially anything with high fructose corn syrup or meats with nitrates, fresh fruits okay, but no watermelon, which is my favorite, avoid fats.

The good news? No sodium restriction, lol

I was living in the east bay when dear ol Humphrey was doing his thing. It seemed it was only a few years ago, but dang it's been 30 years now since his first trip to the Delta. We drive over that bridge when we go see my mother in law.

That's pretty tight, but you can still get away with some good eats. Sounds like a lot of chicken and broccoli.

So I do, broccoli occasionally, but not a fave after all the green leaf crap

Well that sucks.
Just today, FTech added an SXK version.
Their clones tend to be fairly decent - I might throw that in the cart.
Somehow, $12 for a clone goes down easier than that YTKF or whatever that's like $20...

That is so weird and cool. My folks bought the first house at Ox Bow (1977) and we spent every summer there. I love sleepy Rio Vista, Fosters Big Horn FTW!
