I've got 4 sigelei minibooks that I fucking love to DEATH. My favorite mods, bar none. Their size, shape, and the cool book-opening battery door are just fucking perfect, and their enameling is also better than a fucking CAR's! Not a single ding or scratch on ANY of 'em, not even the most gorgeous, the red, my first and favorite

Another Sigelei mod was my very first "real mod," the Zmax flat-top -- it still works as well as when it was new in early 2014, and I have another just like it, as a "backup - insurance" mod -- I don't really enjoy tube mods anymore, but the 15w wouldn't be a problem, since I vape around 9.5w.

Ohh did not know you had the flattops.
Mine are the tapered ones.

First vape contest I ever won was for a Sigelei Fuchai - which I still have but never use

Not sure we can run clear your end of the holler otherwise, I'd tell you to be watching for a red Ford pickup loaded down. That might strike the FIL as a bit too far out of the way to help out. He recently let two loads go to someone for $90. It was a good mix of the oak we're currently in and some of the poplar we had from year before. He thought he let it go too cheap, we kind of did as well but that's on him to figure. A single load of just oak has been drawing about $125 up our way. And the truckloads they sell for that are not anywhere near the 'truckloads' we sell or give away.

I will buy some I guess. Not a problem as I just heat my workshop with wood.
around here it is $50-75 for a thrown in load. I will pay 100 for a nicely stacked in load.
And I try to get either black locust or hedgeapple.

I didn't think she was, but a lot of the reviewers are. Didn't know she was talking from personal experience on that one anyway.

Forgot I did have to replace the LiPo after a while, and I think the life improved then. Maybe Lost Vape just had some damaged batteries?

I LOVE the original Merlin!

The hype over on Reddit was all about the mini, but the original is perfect for a vertical build with wicking around the outside. Pick your wrap diameter to get the airflow you want and it's perfect every time!

Hey Squonk Buddies! Anyone happen to have a Juul they want to get rid of? The wife-to-be has one and I think it will be a nice, easy vacation vape.

You know, I often wonder about those who make signs such as "Do Not Open Hatch While In Flight" happen. Are these folks genuinely that stupid, or are they perhaps the foolishly brave? This does at times does cause me being distraught as it is an interesting paradox to consider. After all I agree with the strategy of running headlong into enemies and tossing them a grenade pin, keep on trucking, so it's a tough call.

If you don't find one online, they have a locator page on their website that will find a store near you.

I like the Boulder Rock better though. Easier on the wallet at $10, made to be refilled. A little more air flow than a Juul, don't know if that's good or bad for you.

I vaped one (got some for my still smoking Mr Juicy) one time only

It was so much like a cigarette I have never touched it since

Was seriously worried I'd get stuck on it, lol

I was hoping to get a used one to save some cash

I wouldn’t mind a little more airflow. I’ll look into the Boulder Rock and maybe some Mr. Salt-e.

That's exactly how a load a truckload for sell or giveaway, all ricked up in the bed front to back end, although on the back end I sometimes need to jostle it in loose.

Also Jeep is notorious for bad underbody wire connectors.

Working on vehicles for a living, I can tell you I will never buy a new one. So many damn sensors and systems to fuck up, and you can't even properly service them, no grease plugs.

I always wondered what the point of the EU 2ml thing is, just don't get it.

I like the concentric-circle design of the flat-tops.

I keep looking at 'em; they've been out long enough now I could probably find a decent price. But maybe I'll wait a bit, and get the squonk one.

True. I got mine in May 2014, for $35 at DesertVapes, and thought that a pretty decent price. I paid more than that for my startup eRoll kit.

Thanks! I was trying to save a little cash, but I decided to just go ahead and use my Mi-One with some Mr. Salt-e and get the upgraded airflow chimney instead. I’ll probably wind up giving it to my wife to be thereafter.

True for the most part. She’s not nearly as knowledgeable in way of vape gear so I have all the cool mech squonkers and such... I’ll probably get myself the Mi-Pod when it comes out and start working on DIY salt nic juice

My best guess is that the Therion 75C would make an excellent birthday present - in fact, was thinking about giving one to my cousin for her bday next week

On the Therion if you refill using the 510 filler bottle do not forget to close the air vent on the bottle cap after filling

Saw 2 reviewers showing how to use it and both forgot to close the vent

Thanks! Still haven't pulled the trigger yet. Debating whether or not to wait for the Capo or the other one that's coming out soon, I forget what it's called. Also, there's an amazingly gorgeous keyboard I'm eyeballing, so... UGH, I need to win the damn lottery already.

150W on a single cell is not possible except maybe for a few seconds on a fully charged good 30 amp battery with a very specific resistance coil.
But since I have never vaped over 60 watts in 2.5 years....

I think the highest I've vaped at ever was 44 using a Tobeco Super Tank Mini on a Innokin Kroma.

A lot of people looking to get into squonking think the 50W limit on the Pico Squeeze will be too limiting.

I see a lot of people thinking they're going to need at least 100W.

Maybe they associate RDAs with high wattage cloud blowing sessions.

I've used 100W on a squonker cause I could, but I usually find anything over 80W is overkill and can live under 40W easy.

It is very pretty and the front facing door is a huge plus.But I honestly doubt their claims of 150 watts.With a single cell mod that just ain't gonna happen.Not even with 1 that hits the 40 amp mark.Sorry not happening ever.

EDIT : DIDN'T HEED WARNING.RESULT = PLAY THAT FUNKY MUSIC!

Amen to that. I used to average between 60-80 watts on my dual fused clapton builds, but that shit gets old fast. Around 40 watts squonking on a single coil flavor RDA built to .4 ohms is perfect for me these days. No need to make a spectacle of myself just to keep from smoking.

The Orca I whipped up weighed less than my Molly's and was barely taller.

But in the grand scheme of mass marketed 2x700 mods I totally agree, they are significantly larger and heavier

What the heck is a Molly?

JuicyLucy · Sep 22, 2017

The are exactly the same height and just a mm or so wider at the top

I really like both - though it took me a long time to appreciate the Merlin DT
