GeekVape GBOX 200W Squonk Mod!

[Spyg0at]

Got my new GeekVape GBOX 200W Squonk Mod today and could not be happier! I got the kit with a Radar RDA for $49.99 at Vape Society Supply, but I put my Goon 2 on it and never used the Radar. First impressions, I LOVE IT! This is my first squonk mod so I am new to it, but not to drippers. Dual 18650, 200W, TC, etc. Nice regulated mod, built like a tank and aesthetically, very pleasing!

I am using some Loaded Cookie Butter in the mod and must say, it tastes great!

If you want to get into the squonk game cheap, with a good device, I believe this is a hard deal to beat!

That is an amazing deal!

I have the old Gbox and the new Gbox 200 and they are a great value

Also, both take the Kanger Dripbox replacement bottles

Nice! How's the weight? Any cons yet?

 

[Spyg0at]

It's pretty hefty. I have been using it for about 3 hours and so far no issues.

 

[Spyg0at]

It is matte black and has that almost rubbery feeling to the coating, but not too much, if that makes sense.

Wow, I didn't realize Geekvape had already released 2 versions! What are the differences?

The new one is heftier and and will fire a higher wattage

It is a little hefty, like SpyGoat said

Some people don't like the fact that the bottle can spin when you squonk, though it does not affect how it vapes and it doesn't leak

Thanks. How far apart were the releases?

Cripes, I can't truthfully remember - a year maybe a little less?

The first Gbox was the first mass-produced double battery after the Kanger 160 and they stopped production after the first run for some reason

 

[Spyg0at]

8ml bottle is a plus as well.

Oh ok, I thought the new Gbox was their first double battery squonk mod. Didn't know GV has had one out for that long

I just built the Radar RDA, nice little BF atty. It has a very intuitive, angled, deck that allows the coils to go in at an angle from the top, and if you use some flat coils (staggertons, etc) they fit very nicely. Though, the Goon V1.5 is a better atty, I had to at least try the Radar. My opinion, if you don't have a Goon 1.5, the Radar that comes with the kit is a very good fit for the mod. I looked around and this mod is $89 at FTech and many other sites, so the $49.99 price at Vape Society is a real steal.

 

[JuicyLucy]

so the $49.99 price at Vape Society is a real steal.

I would definitely jump on that price!!!

"Also, both take the Kanger Dripbox replacement bottles"
so thats not really true, wish it was i have 10 dripbox bottles but the diameter is a tiny tiny bit too large for a drip box

Dripbox bottles too big for the dripbox?

I'm using dripbox bottles in the Gbox just fine though

 

[PoppaVic]

Replacing the proprietary bottle hw with a silicone bottle, and the cover torx with neomags was the best, simplest change to make the Gbox a winner.

They worked just fine in my GBOX S100 too.

I've been watching the squonk-lovers around here for some time and wondered if I'd enjoy the journey... and took advantage of the favorable posts on The Drop and the GBox... ordered both today and look forward to jumping in with both feet... (kinda the way I do most things it seems) haha I guess Lucy's post above on the GBox being a heck of a deal put me over the edge!! "A squonking we will go.... A squonking we will go... hi ho"

 

[PoppaVic]

You will definitely be hatting that damned Proprietary Bottle and system, though.

Pulling it out and putting in a soft silicone bottle was dead easy; swapping the torx cover-screws for neomags took about 5 minutes more ;-)

 

[cvostreetglide]

Yeah I saw a video about that... the guy made it look simple enough and I figured I'd do that if I hated the bottle stiffness. The neomags makes great sense as I was thinking them 4 screws would get tedious after awhile.... good post and thanks.

 

[PoppaVic]

np. I can even dig out the part# for the neomags ;-)

 

[cvostreetglide]

That would be awesome thanks. Already charging up the battery on the Dremmel tool for the first phase of the operation!! haha

Gbox 200 body magnet & door magnet

The cover mags slot right into place - add a dab of CA and poke.

The body, I just reamed the screw holes a little with a screwdriver until they were countersunk - add CA, jam-fit.. For the love of the gods, get the polarities right! ;-)

 

[eStorm]

To be honest the bottle while its not the best construction out there will be your smallest problem. I would be more worried about the tc and underperformance of the mod in general even wattage. But hey try it out you might enjoy it.

 

[PoppaVic]

Well, I'm not even sold on the TC of a dna200/vt133.. I try it at least daily, sometimes I like it. Sometimes I use Wattage/Power mode, and sometimes - with the Gbox 200 - I go over and try VPC mode.

 

[cvostreetglide]

Yeah, I'm not using TC on too many of my mods... works well on my VooPoo Too so I use it there but that's about it. I'm new to the squonking thing and wanted to have a regulated mod and didn't want to spend a ton on the entry to this new mode of vaping. Not sure I'll like it. I DO love building and flavor so figured I'd give it a try. By the time I decide if I like it there will be a better mod for squonking. I also wanted a dual battery unit which narrowed the playing field a bit.

LOL Vic.... had to laugh about the polarity thing! That would be an embarrassing mistake to make... DOH

Thanks so much for the links!

 

[PoppaVic]

NP, and yeah - it's just dumb/embarassing to us - but apparently folks in china actually manage to manufacture shit like that!
(BB's made with the wrong polarity; panels that are actually reversed so they repel, etc ;-)
