Any day now
Just woke up form a nap.
Hadaly is ok to me but I like the goon, Oatty and even the Shift BF better,
To me the Oatty is great with dual 2.5 mm 26gs ss coils in it.

The internals are not brass, so no brass taste on the squonk, lol
Right but they smell when I vape em and and make my hands stink.
Did not figure they were like that POS Geyscano.

I know the smell, but have yet to have it come off of this combo.
The brass setup is named Chesty Morgan and are a dedicated to each other, lol
I always have at least four squonkers loaded at all times.....
4...im ashamed of myself..definitly gonna slim down on squonkers.good thing is that 2 of mine are homemade and a few clones.do have 2 tmods though....thier kinda like hotrods...ya never get out of them what ya have in them.the v1 derringers Tom sold did have a spinning centerpost but he fixed them if ya sent them back.been usin mine from when they were first put on the market and they work great.
Hmm...
Thanks for that. Might have to get a Brass Chester.
Here's a shitty pic of a Pico Squeeze, CV and a REO Grand LP for comparison.
I really like them all. The Pico feels a little cheap and I hate the little light, but for under $20, it is an awesome and tiny little bastard. I have 2 Coppervapes and my Reo may be better, but not by much. I parked the Reo for a bit as I am having fun with the CV's and Pico.

The CVmod is a bit shorter than the Dripgbox 2 and .5 inches less in width with nice rounded edges. VERY comfortable to hold.
Will take pic tomorrow. Wife has camera somewhere....

You know, these CVs are so good, you almost don't need an REO. I do like the side squonk on the CV better, but a proper atty is a must.
At some point, I'm going to upgrade the guts on one of these and they will be a forever squonker
Don't go out of your way on my account. I'm getting the idea, all of you are a bunch of enabling trouble makers and I love being a part of the group. Thank you. Now I have to check out the classified ads for a part time job to pay for all the new toys.... or maybe I should get a second full time job
Are they really aluminum? The originals are stainless steel.
Wha'cha takin'bout Willis?
Upgrade? what upgrade? Would it help if I made the switch blade out of sterling silver?

I'll be darned - they are stainless. Just checked and it is weakly magnetic
Just assumed the top caps were aluminum because they are so cheap, lol
Problem with the REO is that parts cost a fortune IMO. I recently bought a new door, a few bottles, springs, positive contacts and screws and it was almost $100. Nuts when a bag of CV spare parts is under $2 and bottles are standard 10ml ones I can buy for 20-30c. The only weak point on the CV that I can see that isn't currently a simple part order from China is the feed pin.

No you don't. Only way to get them is second hand lol
LOL!!! Got one you're selling??
Meant to mention this previously: The Italian bottles were intended to be used with 4mm OD tubing, while the standard tubing used on REOs and most other US-made mods had been 3/16", which is about 4.75mm OD.

I'm guessing not - if you are looking for a strong blade. Silver is fairly soft
@BreSha6869 , was that you in the FT forum? Did you get your mods yet? Which parts kit should I order? V1 or V2?

Sadly, that never stopped me.....Also notice the Goons cost up to three times the expense of the mods
Evening fellow squonkers......

Well, pull up a squonk and relax
Gotta pay for all that premium vape gear somehow
Nope even though FT said SS. All except the brass one is aluminum.
Not the clones.Also notice the Goons cost up to three times the expense of the mods
I dunno I got an alum one from FT and it took the V1 repair kits.
I would say order your CV and then figure it out and order the kits.
V1 has a skinny shank on the switch and V2 has a fatter shank.
They are more exciting if made from Magnesium.

Not those two - but, the quality is higher than the clones. I believe they'll last much longer than the dollar equivalent in the same amount of clones in this case.
I got a clone first. It is broken already and I can't figure out how. The top cap is out of true and will no longer fit on the deck
Hmm have 2 clones and no issues thus far.
Should be getting my BF 99 and Hobo Drifter clones any day.
Last 2 ordered.
And then my second Dripbox 2 should be in soon as well.
And nothing else ordered.
got a bottle of Real Flavors Black Raspberry flavoring in.
Kinda leery as it smells like cough syrup....

Hey!
Yup. Both of my mods ended up being V2. I got lucky as I ordered a bunch of the V2 kits.

For $3 get both. The only difference is the button. The other parts are interchangeable & they are the pieces you may really need.
Actually making it from solid potassium would be a blast
Literally!Hi guys, I just wanted to check in with you with a first impressions of the bag of stuff I got from FT. I'm going to focus on the negatives because that's what I tend to notice first.
First, FT shipped it all in a padded envelope. I would think with a $160 order they would have shelled out for a box, but no.
The coppervapes look good but the buttons are crunchy with play in them. I'm hoping sanding the button hole will solve the crunch issue but the play is kinda.. um... the ergonomics of the squonk cut-out is definitely nicer than that of the Reo, but that bottle does seem very stiff. Also my button top batteries auto-fire so I will go hunt down some flat tops. For me a nice switch is a critical aspect of the vape experience. Aluminum heavier than an Reo but feels good to hold. Both the aluminum and brass CVs came with blemishes that Reo would have sold at a discount. I have not actually done any vaping on them yet
The DDP Typhon clone is meh to me. Vapes okay but meh. I'd definitely be disappointed if I shelled out for the real deal.
The Ohman Pancake clone also gets a meh from me. It's okay and vapes great but I'm not sure the radical design contributes anything meaningful to the vape experience. It has given me greater appreciation for my authentic Ohman 16mm genisis which I think I'll take out of the drawer and give another go-around. What Ohman brings to the table is his choice of materials, which the clone doesn't copy.
The Origen Little clone is sick. Looks great, vapes great, punches ahead of its weight class. Makes me want to bore out the catch-cups on my VV grands. I don't have the tools or the know-how to do that.
The Odis O-atty clone is amazing. Looks great, vapes great, easy to build on.
I haven't given the Chtulhu Hastur a go yet.
I built all coils using the materials and know-how I already have. That's simple single or dual 28ga coils. 1/16 using RxW and 1/8 using KGD. I'll fool around with these attys in the coming weeks as I learn to build more modern coils
Thanks guys for all your contributions. I'll probably pick up a BF-99 and a non-LP Goon clone with my next order. And two more Origen Little's if I can find somebody to mod my VVGs

Got my Hobo Drifter clone in.
Have to order a squonk kit now since that sucker has what must be a 2mm 510 pin in it.

Notice of unboxing
Got this in yesterday. Had to modify a bit because the outer edge of the negative post catches on the oring up inside the topcap. A bit of filing with a micro file set fixed that problem. Pay careful attention to the sharp corner where the wire slot is milled in.
Will fire up later today. just by sucking on it it may well be a nirvana item for those that like butthole tight draws.
wide open is it far tighter than any other atty I have and that is wide open.
