Squonkers are Bonkers

I love that idea, but I can't see how it would ever be possible, with the bottom airflow the Achilles has; there's just no way to come up into the well from below, and if you tried, it would probably leak.

Another RDA I'm *considering* is the Dead Rabbit SQ, which appears to be tighten-able, perhaps even to my exacting standard. But it's a little pricier right now than I would prefer ($37) -- not out of the question, the first two KFL+ clones I bought were $35, but as an experiment, a bit much. Hoping to see a good sale on it at some point, or maybe just a lowered price as new stuff comes out.

$35 at eciggity but they have 20% off for new years to get it down to $28, and IIRC they do free shipping over $50 if you have any other wants/needs.

He says the flavor really is good, and even with his moderate settings (about 20 watts i think, ejuice is 30/70, .5 ohm coil), there's a decent little cloud -- not enough to annoy people, but enough, I gather (my own idea of enough would be downright puny to most of y'all!). And it's apparently pretty easy to build, but he had to wrap the coil backward from how I taught him -- so the lead that sits higher is on the left, the lower lead on the right. He seems very pleased with it. :)

The OBS engine and nano are the best RTA’s made IMO, good flavor and impossible to leak. I have two or 3 nanos and a couple engines lol.

Well, I had to look it up in OLD email, because I didn't remember their name, 2+ yrs later. :D Just as well, since they apparently only etch glassware now, not vape mods as they used to -- phiniac.com.

Andria
Wow thanks I totally have forgotten they did that.
I know you don't drink so remind me to buy you some donuts or a root-beer float at some point...Cheers!

I always go left to right since I'm holding the drillbit and one end of the wire with my left hand, but I taught him going "overhand', and he had to start it 'underhand,' to get the leads to come out on the right sides.

Andria
Yep that's how I'd do it...Cheers!
Just so I've said this at least once it has been years since my left hand has been useful for anything other than wiping my own arse.

That's a good looking mod. That tiny fire button just kills it for me though, it may be the smallest I've ever seen

Close second to the Saber Sensor Touch VV Mod.
In case you forgot what that thingy looked like here's an really old YouTube video review.

It looks alright but damn that is pricey.But it gives very little to almost no information on specs.
Max wattage/max amps/max voltage/short protection/reverse battery protection...zero info on all that?
Yeah I'll pass.
DNA 250. Looks like a diy

Yeah it's not that hard to find the specs on a dna250 though and there's a link to the lipo specs.
I understand the price is kinda high, but there's not many options out there for high wattage squonkers that look nice. Plus you can get it engraved with almost anything you want.

Remember seeing a comment where he said a Green Button isn't going to happen....

BUT!

View attachment 99700

And I know its a render...but there is going to be one RED Sand Blasted mod..

One of his 3d printed Neofet bodies

Either way...Find out in a few days if we are able to get it with the button colors we want...no money invested yet, so no frustrations ;)

Do what you feel is right for you.

Only thing that I don't know for sure is being able to have different button colors and how accessible the button is (face plate removal )

Had one a nano. Your right didn't leak. Good flavor. Probably should kept it but......... Got the shiny eyes for a squonker lol.

I know a lot of ppl sell vape stuff to buy new vape stuff, wish I could, I’m a vape hoarder lol. If I end up with something I can’t use I PIF it, other than that into the stash it goes lol.

Anyone know is the Luna a mech or mosfet? I noticed it has a light on the side, don’t feel like watching reviews ATM, watching Carl Sagan’s Cosmos.

MOSFET. It’s exactly like a Pico Squeeze

A much more expensive pico but that can be said about any mosfet over $17


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not at all - it doesn't have the weird governor in there to keep you from vaping over 50 Watts (most say their Pico would not fire over 40 Watts)

I will if I can get my hands on one!

Am considering it as birthday present to myself next month - but would really prefer to wait and hear what a few seasoned squonkers have to say about it

Have not enjoyed three of the last four new squonk mods added to the collection o_O

The original Dead Rabbit is $10 less, which tells me if I just wait a while, the price will drop. I have zero problem waiting, to save money. ;)

My left is mainly only useful to hold things so my right can do other things; about the only thing I can do equally well with my left is type... and play the piano, about 40 yrs ago. :D I would hate to risk the cleanliness of my derriere to the inept attentions of my left hand. :giggle:

The engine nano was the worst piece of shit I have ever encountered. I spent way too many hours trying to get a decent vape from that thing. The fanatics figured that a 2.5mm coil was the cats ass build for it and was where it worked the best. I haven't used 2.5mm coils since the KFL+ and GT II days... It gave me a mediocre vape at best and I piffed it away after seriously trying to get any sort of a decent vape. Just a poor design IMHO.


Now the GV Zeus has improved the failings of the Engine Nano, and is quite excellent for a single coil leakproof RTA. :D

The Dead Rabbit SQ.....MTL? Yeah.....Nope! Problem I have with is: the coil sits waaaaay above the deck but installing it is so easy, Ray Charles could do it (and yes, I know he's singing with the angels ). It does have single/dual holes for MTL and a very nice drip tip included. In conclusion, @AndriaD, save your money.

So are you saying that the coil sitting up high like that won’t lend itself to quality a MTL vape?

AndriaD, you would probably like the billet box except for the price. Restricted air, durable, easy to carry.

I should pick up some Nautilus coils to try with mine. I hear that makes for a very nice MTL vape

Yeah, kinda like that and the juice has a long arse way to travel. I was being conservative so I started with a 3mm ID coil at about 0.38 ohms. The overall size of the chamber doesn't lend itself to a dense, flavorful mtl vape.
