Ahh but the bragging rights Andria, the bragging rights.
The intention of my reply is not to be confrontational but understand.
Why is it "problematic"? Why is someone who is wanting to try squonking a wanna be? Some don't understand mechs or are uncomfortable with them. The way I read your post is that squonking is only for long time vapers and newbies such as I should stay away from this hallowed ground of vaping.
I'd originally bought a Kanger drip box when I was just a few months into vaping. At that time it wasn't for me, but now that I've experienced more in vaping I can see the utility of squonking.

I wish a manufacturer would come up with an ironclad cigalike at an affordable price that would help more people convert
Smokers tend to flip out at a five dollar pod, even when they are spending $10 for a pack of smokes
I started with Joytech’s cigalikes which lasted an hour or so before needing a recharge, moved to a ego C when those came out and it was s revelation for about 6 months, then moved to a mech because it was fun to dick around with, then moved to an istick for size & form factor. Finally got a RX200 because everything was moving torwards high voltage which got me to finally drop the $ on a Hexohm. But I found myself getting back into mechs which lead me to start hating dripping which naturally lead me to squonking.
Everything has gone in cycles but the last 8 years or so has made me become comfortable with what I like. There isn’t much I haven’t seen (only so many ways to invent the wheel). Ecigs are quite basic by nature of their use, put battery to wire to vaporize a liquid. The real growth is in stuff like making your own coils easier & for the masses & getting people to understand how to mix their own juices with interesting flavor combinations that start getting into cooking & science techniques.
tdlr; everything goes in cycles & after 8 years, I’ve come back to mechs & squonks and am quite happy. Learn how to make your own coils & ejuice
The Daedalus is a killer kit for people to make their own coils with, even if they’re not the most mechanically inclined. And I like the new version that is about to drop fixes some of the quirks of the first one.

Hey HEY!!!Smok releasing the same shit in a different package is just following p4u's lead with the ipv2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 8 1/2, 9 3/4, 12 3/5.
They were worse than naked gun sequels.
Not meant to be dismissive at all. Here is another way to say what I posted originally:
I see many people who have never squonked before ask about getting a regulated squonk mod but it is a problem because there are not very many on the market you can just buy and most of those regulated squonkers have issues
For the record, went straight from cigalikes to mechanical squonking - and am one of the few people that does not have a problem with a well-informed new vaper using a mech. Newbie does not automatically equal moron
Thanks for the clarification. I figured I was misunderstanding.

Thereby rendering the question:Certainly didn't mean anything derogatory towards anyone but the manufacturers, lol
Mainly frustrated because when a potential squonker asks: "What's a good regulated regulated squonker" - and most are looking to go under $50 or so - it's hard, even if budget isn't a concern
Also wish squonk mod makers would stop including shitty atties - see more grief with folks thinking they can fork out their money once and be happy with a "kit." Most will be terribly disappointed or feel ripped off, or both
Thereby rendering the question:
What's more important, the mod or the atty?
Roger, everyone has a different one.IMO it's always the attie - but we all know about opinions
Roger, everyone has a different one.
I think the construction quality and quality of materials is equally important from battery to coil (for safety). However, the atty is what gives you vape. So the atty is more important, the mod is just the power supply.
BAM crew
Oh definitely!!I agree - but if quality of the vape experience is paramount in a limited budget situation, go for a quality attie IMO
I shake my head in sadness for the buyer whenever I see someone plunk down a $100, $200 or way more for mod then see they are waiting for a Velocity 2 clone in the mail, especially for squonking
The velocity 2 is just a clone of a clone. The Tobecco velocity mini. Which was a quasi clone since velocity did not have a mini.

Yep pretty much where I am at as well.Thank goodness I've finally found my mod and tank and stocked up on them. I don't have to wade all the garbage out there searching. I certainly don't envy the newbies having all of today's ridiculous junk to sort thru.
Not interested in any 3D printed mods.
Not interested in any mod with over 2 batteries.
Not interested in any atty over 22mm.
Not interested in touch screens or mods that light up.
I guess I am just an old fogey of vaping?
Only in vaping can one become an old fogey in 2.5 years?
Hate the touch screen idea.... Despise it.Not interested in any 3D printed mods.

I just prefer regulated, I like consistency. One of the things I disliked about the ego pens, the vape would get weaker and weaker and weaker. I didn't necessarily want all 4.2v up front but certainly didn't want the weak shit for the last 1/3 of the battery. I like being able to get say around 3.8v throughout and when the battery is dead then swap it.
Shorter chimney always gives better flavor. You would have better luck changing up your build Andria.
Try 317l ss. Fantastic wire for fruit flavors or try a simple clapton build. Change it up a little.Not much that can be changed with a 29ga 7-wrap 3/32 coil. I could possibly go with a 6 wrap 7/64 if I used 30ga, but with the shorter chimney, I was afraid the 30ga would get too hot.

I agree the Smok mods are shit. I had 2 Smok Aliens and 1 Smok Stick crap out on me within 6 months.You hit the nail on the head, it's all shit, especially everything coming from Smok. And none of its new. Companies are just taking the same shitty mod that came out a month ago and slapping hideous LED's all over them.
That and all the Smok/Wismec/etc. regulated stuff breaks down after a few months so everyone who uses those need another new $30-60 mod that often. So better have the "hot, new" mod every cycle or they'll move on to the next budget Chinese mfgr!
