Cheap fun with cheap squonker.

[Michael H.]

Decided to try this Octopus clone from 3F vape...I got a black model and a white model at $11 a piece and also picked up the wasp nano.

My thoughts are swap the white button and white door on to the black bodybody m and the black button and door to the white body model for what I think should look pretty cool.yet maybe common swaps.

Internals?...well I don't know just yet but I'm thinking upgrade them with some good stuff...well see how it does...appears to either be polished stainless or possibly silver coated...not really sure....the 510 either brass or copper...well see.

1.) 26g 999 silver contacts.
2.) ? Squonk 510
3.) ? Squonk bottle.

I'd like a medium soft silicone bottle...the one I have in my Nudge is just way too soft...can I get stiffer silicone bottles?


I've always heard the mm510 being used but also have heard you get a fairly decent voltage drop on them being spring loaded.

Any other options out there I could consider?.....fat daddys any better or worse? Something silver plated over copper would be great if that's possible?

ModMaker 510 is way better than FD for the 510

Also, the older MM bottles are kinda between the stiff bottles and the super softie silicon types

Is shipping pretty rough from Europe?

I just use the cheapest option - mine typically comes out to a little over $15 - depending on what I order

Here is a trusted US-based vendor that sometimes has MM parts in stock Mod Parts & Accessories

Broscience.com is US seller and has mm510. That's where I got mine

No idea how close to 1/1 the Le Octopus clone is to the OG, but in my V1 authentic, you are limited to a fairly small bottle - I would definitely do some research before buying any bottle for the clone

Yea I clicked after I commented. Lol

I think it's a 6 or 7ml bottle

The height and width may be limited if the inside is like the authentic - going strictly by volume may not work

 

[Michael H.]

I'll just have to measure and see where I'm at after I get it.

Found the MM510 and some silver 510 contact upgrade kit Along with berillium copper/ silver plated contacts...$10 euro Royal international shipping...not too bad price wise as long as you don't use DHL shipping...lol

 

[Michael H.]

I'll wait to get bottle space measurements before I place an order....gonna be a little while...lol

$27 and change American dollars....if I can get a bottle not bad at all for less than $40 to fully upgrade a cheap o into higher end status performance.

 

[PoppaVic]

Yeah, modmaker has good parts - also FDV/Fat Daddy Vapes...

Here's my [personal] issue.. I just can't warm to single-cell mechanicals at all.. I don't want to stock the extra wire-spools necessary to feel better about it. Now, yeah: I run a NC serial mech - took me about 4 builds before I went Old School and built like 1.7Ω and wow - VERY nice. I'd like an NC v2 serial/parallel as well, and..

I really like the looks of the DS-Style Squonker.. I might be able to live w/ parallel, ok.. What bugs me is weird bottle designs, (maybe I can fix), but the deal-killer on Mechs is: "I should be able to buy a replacement switch that fits" - not "Oh, gee.. My switch melted and no other mechanical switch will fit!"

And, yes: I've mentioned elsewhere: I do not like the "pokey-holey" squonkers.. I get my fingers caught in there. I got an otherwise useless pinky that wants to squeeze the bottle ;-)

Hope you enjoy it

Hope you enjoy it

Me too..lol

Ordered.

Well, at least I am sure the Wasp works ok ;-)

 

[Michael H.]

Hopefully the Haku finds a home on a mod as well...I'm sure it will.

 

[PoppaVic]

Physically, the Haku looks & feels "more substantial" than the wasp. And, I was leaving the airflow full-open and that was drawing at about what the Wasp did after struggling to set maybe 1/4 air. It seems to just need a proper build - I only mounted like 3 attempts in the Haku.

It didn't like the flat/bar clapton that the wasp seems to like. Not sure what it prefers.
