'Morning Nutters!
Late lunch here, wanted to say hey and send y'all some wuv..
My daily drivers for the week, Runt V2 w/ Dead Rabbit, and Squid Double Barrel topped w/ the Entheon.
I'm on a new kick of matchy matching a regulated & BF and using just them the whole week. Retarded. WonderTwin powers activate!!
Was going to slap a black Dotmod on the Double Barrel for my OCD but I'm loving this Entheon too much right now. ...annnd my Squid is my droppable battlestations mod so with this set up I'm all ready for clumsiness! (Inevitable)
Big bonkers hugs to everyone, enjoy your week mates!

That looks sharp. I was about to comment on @Proatype 's squid mod "if only a squonk box ...". :) I looked at Don's review a bit. Tried to go to the Fakebook page, "content not available now". Not sure if it's one of those elite groups, or maybe it's just some gremlin piddling around. About how much this one cost you?

I got it, found Baron's Vape Boxes.

They probably have it set to secret right now.A lot of them do that when they are getting ready to do a release or a list.Try it again in a day or 2 and it should be back up.

Still looking for 13-16mm long M3 hollow BF pin if can find one that long ,
Id be very happy so could get the Supreme V2 in single coil setup as Sqounker RDA.

Deffo stocked up on decks tanks and Parts for the V2 Supreme now

Just want try Squounking with it
Search for an M3 ventilated screw. You'll have to cut it down to length, but being too short should not be a problem. Even Amazon carries them, although not a great price there.

Jamie does a list about every couple weeks. He'll put up a poll with what available and you click on what you would like to buy, then he does the randomizer thingy and the top ones get to buy a mod. He usually leaves the poll open for 24 hrs so plenty of opportunity to enter. Prices start about $150 and up depending on model and materials.

I'm not sure on the length,but have you tried the Fat Daddy pin?Since your in the UK,i believe Modmaker carries the FD stuff.

Edit-Nevermind,looks like they are only about 11mm long including the head.

Alright. That discounts me, except maybe window shopping, which I can do alone. I'll keep to a low to mid price limit for actual buying.

Got a spinner.

Yeah, a pack of 10 is overkill but mostly what there is to find, the ones labeled as ventilated screws are actually mostly used in medical devices IIRC, hence the over pricing and why they're so long.

I see them £1 and some pence, but only 10mm long.

https://www.accu.co.uk/en/vented-screws/275646-SSCV-M3-10-A2

Here's an 18mm long, same price range, but the heads wrong so you'd need something to cut the head to shape

https://www.accu.co.uk/en/vented-socket-countersunk-screws/415817-SSKV-M3-18-A2

This place has 16mm looks like for £7.5ish

http://www.mechanicalcomponents.co.uk/en/catalog/precision/other-threaded/vented-screws/p0090

Just have to search around a bit.

Got the Mesh cleaned and set up with the SS mesh, it's coming in at about 24ohm. Jam-packed it full of Drago cotton and OMG, does that thing hold an absolute shit-ton of juice now! Got it in squonk mode on my Inbox and although I wish it had a deeper well, I don't think that thing will ever run out of juice. lol

@snake94115, that's the discontinued GBox S100, now about as easy to find as hen's teeth. They're supposed to release another mod sometime soon. They've already released a mech, I'm hoping that the regulated will follow.
Yeah I just spent a solid 30 minutes trying to find 1.All leads ended at the same back alley known as (DEAD END STREET).

Than you for saying that! And these folks were saying I was pimping the Mesh.....well, maybe I was just a little. It is a easy to build, decent atty.

The only caveat is don't make the mesh dome too high or it will melt the bottom on your drip tip......don't ask:confused:

I do. The flavor isn't quite as good as my Pulse 24, but close enough.

OMG, I wish all attys were as easy to build on! I trimmed about 1mm from the width, as it was too wide to fit into the slots, and a bit off the ends to shorten it, but then just stuffed and juiced and it was ready to go. No futzing around with coils, no threading into teeny holes - I could even do it with my glasses on. :D And there's zero ramp up time. Push the button and it glows.

Good to know on the height. I'll definitely keep that in mind. :giggle: It definitely burns hot, that's for sure.

Okay, so I'm gonna give this squonk thing another try. My main problem is that most squonk mods are not ergonomic or comfortable to use. The squonk bottle hole on the side is a big turn off for me. But I've kept my Wraith because it just feels right with the bottle placement, and I haven't experienced any of the problems with it that others have. I had a Frankenskull clone and hated it. My Sonar parallel is still up for trade, too (hint hint).

Anyways, before I decide to spend more money on something that I might not even use, I decided on this PhantOhm mech clone from SlowTech. It seems to be more along the line of what would be comfortable for me to use, and practically disposable at around $16. If it works out, I'll look for something better quality.

I have one of those and I don't think you would be happy with it.My personal experience mirrors what others have had.The door is a pain in the ass to get off,but with a bottle inside the door will not sit flush.And when you squonk,the door will pop off if your not holding it.Second is the button.It rattles around,and is super stiff to press.It will not fire or fires inconsistently unless you press it in just the right spot.I modded the door on mine to fix the issues with it not sitting flush and popping off,but the button is horrible so it sits on the shelf.Others have modded the button and contacts to fix those issues.If you like to tinker,it could be made to work okay.But if you want something working straight outta the box you might want to avoid that one.

So is there a standard for the ohms it comes out to? Or more of just a throw in and go? I've seen a few videos but don't remember anyone saying.

Ohh you can vary the ohms a bit by the length of mesh you put in or what kind of mesh makes the biggest difference.
Kanthal vs SS for instance.

I have researched them. But Brew has still not converted me.

Ahh ok. Sort of trial and error. Haven't researched much because I wasn't sure if I'd be interested in it. But I'll be looking it up. Thanks

Yeah it is kind of like a Wanko or factory coil atty in the respect of resistance.
You can tweak it just a bit but are basically stuck with whatever resistance that your mesh works out to.

Not sure why you'd need to vary the ohms but yeah, you can test it, cut a little if you want to change it, test it again, cut more, etc., until you hit what you are aiming at.

You should try it. Not sure why, but I thought you had. My next experiment is to try it with different cotton and see how it does with each one. I should have weighed before and after to see just how much juice it holds. I'll try to remember to do that in the future.

Naah I got 3 Wasps for the same money as 1 mesh.

Yeah, I figure it'll be the same quality as the shitty Frankenskull clone I had. But I'm really more interested in the ergonomics, and don't mind tinkering a bit to make it work correctly.

Well, sort of. 3F is supposed to be selling both kanthal and SS mesh "coils" for this atty. I guess you could alter resistance a bit by varying the mesh length. Just be careful, don't make it too high. Either that or, you could use one or two notch coils.

have you tried 2 narrower strips of mesh with a gap between them?

I just didn't know if the yeah started out at 1ohm or .5 etc.. I figure it starts out as a standard and you adjust it to your liking. Just wasn't sure.

They aren't cheap by any means but if you know anyone that has a Therion DNA BF, see if you can borrow it for a day.
It is an awesome Squonker.
I like mine so much I'm strongly considering selling my 166 and buying another one.

I never had one of the older ones, other than the color screen is there much difference?

I could take or leave the color screen, it doesn't make it vape any better.
In fact, I've kind of de-colored mine

You can, and the VT Inbox is a nice device and also has the DNA 75 chip.
I had one and it was a very capable device. I didn't think I would like the side Squonk hole but it actually wasn't that bad.
That being said, the Therion is just in a different class in my opinion.
