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...

I just did a little Fasttech order too, coils and drip tips up to my neck.
I also ordered the gold plated bf pin for the Goon even though it looks pretty crappy.
Now @Zaxxaz your post makes me even more leery. But I got an 'out of stock' message from 528 so don't know where to get the real deal.
Any leads on the authentic 528 customs bf pin anywhere? It's the silver one.

Haven't looked to see if they are in stock lately, but I have always used a FDV 2.5mm pin when squonkifying authentic Goons.

You have to file them down a tad, but they squonk and drain very nicely

We always take a chance when we buy clones.I remember buying a Twisted Messes clone,which was junk.When I got it exchanged the second one was defective.At least the armor clone was only nine bucks.I'm sure the SXK version will be much better quality,and not as expensive as the other clone.I'll have to see if any of my bottom feed pins will fit it. Also,3fvape has listed shipping dates for the glactika hydra clone,and says that the manufacturer is changing them from plastic to delrin:D That will be super cool!

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.
Sir Kadly, I much prefer the edge squonk (if that's like the DripBox/Squeeze) than a face squonk (like a Reo ... I bought a Reo to try squonking and I absolutely hate the mongrel thing). They are just more difficult to design as a full mechanical (but not impossible as mentioned).

Prefer the edge squonk, like the CopperVape. I've thin wiry hands and fingers though, violinist or surgeon fingers as I've been told. Could only wish I had such dexterity, grace, finesse. That's why it's easier for me to grip and have the squonk access "right there" in a natural feeling spot.

This is pretty much gospel, lol

Hear ye! Hear ye! Our brother @Tamer El-Meehy hath spoken the Holy Gospel of the Dark Side(tm) from the sect of Squonk. Let our brother naught err in the way of the Hokey Pokey and may all his dates grow abundant. In the name of Spankman so mote it be!

Ok got the orca fired up with my Hadaly on top. It's an awesome vape, much better than my coppervape. Had a hell of a time getting the Reo bottle to seal and squonk. Can I get some recommendations for a slightly smaller bottle so I can have a hair more tube to work with. Oh yeah don't touch a mirrored door with some juice on your fingers, lol, was really hard to shine back up!!

Yes, he would have done that. :) I keep hearing him fuss, I need to trade, pif, or sell a few attys I have set aside. About to go attempt something with the two LP Goon I got that need a hole in the block. Thinking a thin nail might punch through and if I do it carefully, ought not foul the thing up. If I wait on someone else to find exact drill bits, then get motivated to do it ... well I'd be waiting as I drifted on the winds. :wait::headbang:

:shades::inlove:SWEET!:inlove::shades: Now, I have wood for sexy mod atty set ups. Awe well, it could be better or worse. Least I woke up and drew breath today. :) No, not meaning that sarcastic or in bad taste, it's a genuine "hey i'm humbly grateful to live". Think most ought to express such gratitude then, I'm just some sailor what was rejected for improper education. *chuckles and grins* What would I know? Oh yeah, i know that i don't know. *chuckling some more* Well, I go get to my little piddling. Run 'er slow. :) :hug: :wave:

GAME OVER, MAN!

I got one of the blocks punched through. Now, I understand atomizer crusades/jihads well. The Goon LP, ... *sits here covered in clouds and with a deep sated happy blissful grin and blankness* whoa. :) *bowing down in the unworthy pose to his Goon LP* All y'all must now convert to Goon LP. *chuckles* Oh hell, no. Y'all keep vaping what you want. Me? Think I found my new satori maker,

GOON LP FTW!

Italian SS bottles work great--awaiting my MM bottles to see how much better they are.

Speaking of bottles, how long should a Kanger Dripbox 2 bottle last?

All of a sudden, mine started leaking from the top when I gave it a squonk.

I replaced it with one of my spares (I had 4 extra bottles being a big believer in spares) and problem solved

I also noticed that the old bottle was more pliable than the new one.

Perhaps from many squeezes of the past few months?

My first one lasted about 3 months then developed hairline crack in the ridged area of the bottle.
I bought a 10 pack and will likely get another 10 before they become hard to get.
Speaking of hard to get.
Kanger Subtank Mini V2 is getting hard to find.

Might order a few more RBA's from FT.
I have enough parts to last me 50 years worth of STM use.

Seems like most all mods/attys are the best there is for about 1 week.
Then the next thing comes out.

No kidding, right?
I haven't bought a new RDA since the hadaly first released. I just ordered a wasp last week because I was bored.
Honestly though, at this point I don't see what could be released that would offer anything new.
Side airflow, top airflow, bottom airflow -just a combination of airflows.... 2 post, 3 post, 4 post, clampsl... Hex screws, Phillips, flathead.... Pick your combo

Even the new taifunBT, is just a rehash of an old genny, only for clouds.

that must have been what happened to Atcha!
ordered a wasp and forgot she had done it?

but yes all just old stuff until the New laser atomizers come out.
But the controversy and elitism is already rearing it's head there too.
It is all about the wavelength some say.
To others it is about the power.
And to the elitists it is all about the exclusive modulation.

Thank you so much for the reply!

Could you please give me a chance to thank you again for providing a link to where I can purchase the 10 packs?

I can't wait to get one in, using the mesh as the coil instead of the wick looks great! I have sheets of mesh that need to see some daylight again. :D

The KLS is one ugly assed RDA with a ludicrous price (Raven's Moon ludicrous) but it sure is a tasty little bugger. :)

I totally agree with your comment about elitism and thanks for bringing it up!

Back in the day it was "Provari Snobs" as in if you did not own one you were not a real vaper and they really did kinda look down their noses at you!

Me. its whatever floats your boat or lift up your skirt.

Sure I have some really cool gear but if you are happy with your Vape Pen. Then I am happy for you!:vino:

Amen Brother RJ.

Back in 2014 shortly after I started vaping and got off of 40+ yrs of cigs using cigalikes.
Went in a vape shop and they literally laughed at my using cigalikes. needless to say I bought nothing and had gone in prepared to buy a new mod and tank.... Prolly an iStick 20 and Nautilus. There were too many of the punks for me to whip their asses so I left. And have negatively recommended that shop to everyone ever since.

When vape shop workers are snobs then it is game over for them as far as I am concerned.

What ever works for you. But if you think that whatever works for you is the only way for everyone to go you are a snob.

Am I a reverse snob for liking Kbox mini mods and Sub Tank Mini tanks?

I finally broke out one of the attys that came with my Dripbox 160 and built dual SS coils raised up to the top of the posts so the air hits them right.
Darned piece of crap vapes nice!

wish I could find more of them. Now the ones that come with the Dripbox 2 are real crap unless you use the build deck from the DB 160 ones...

I totally get what you are saying about the vape shop snobs!

A couple of years ago I went to the grand Re-Opening of a vape shop that had just expanded into much larger quarters.

And I was vaping a custom mod that was made by a personal friend and given to me as a gift by another.

Fazed Box Mod.jpg

This mod that I still use from time to time sported a DNA 20 which was pretty much top of the line back then.

I left never to return when they told me that they could fix me up with something that looked "Way Cooler"

That looks way cool to me.
Fitted with a 510 it would still be cool to me:)

Is that a T3S I see?


Insulting potential customers is not way to run a business.
Many vape shops do not deserve to survive.
I feel sorry for those who do not know the net and the online vaping resources and are stuck with a local vape shop to get off of cigs...

I wonder if local groups of vapists who are not in the business and CAN legally recommend vaping as a safer alternative to smoking are the way to go.
Educational vaping meetings in non commercial settings...
handing out real vaping test data on safety, etc.
Perhaps even holding basic DIY classes, etc.

wonder if I could get certified as a non profit for such things....

collect obsolete vape gear from vapers to pass on to beginning vapers to see if vaping will work for them....
An ego battery and an Evod will get many off of cigs....

Problem would be in keeping the commercial interests of vape shops out.
And a place to meet...
I live out in the sticks so would have to find a place in town...
and have to block underage....

would need a good camera setup for demonstrating / teaching coiling and wicking and such on a big screen for the crowd of 3 :)
