So somebody tell me about S Q U O N K I N G ? It's ridiculous that I have to do that....

 

[Moueix]

This is a newish phenomenon. Wonder where your glasses are, when you can clearly see they are on your face...

 

[inspects]

Squeeze the bottle, rather than dripping.....

 

[inspects]

The one on the left is a dna 40, the other two are dna 200's.

 

[AndriaD]

I wonder if Magmas could be modified for squonking. Don't need it for the Achilles, they hold 2.5ml, but the Magmas only hold about a ml, so that would be useful.

Yepper a bottom fed dripper. Juice comes up thru a special hollow 510 center pin.

Lucy must be out having fun tonight.
I hope she did not blow herself up with a squonker....

Negative Cromwell, sorry to disappoint.

Dripping is a drag - squonking is where it's at!

It's only a recent phenom with noobs like Hank

 

[The Cromwell]

It does seem to be gaining in popularity lately though.
Yep dripping sucks.
Squonking is better but not nirviana.

Think I will order me one of these aluminum Chester Copperbottom squonkers though.

You need to quit being cheap and get a real squonker

I named my brass one with the converted brass Goon atty Chesty Morgan - she dates Chester Copperbottom.

Sometimes they have a threesome with Woody Squonkmyer, he's the new guy

I gots a 150W TC squonker.

and no I am not going to quit being cheap.
I like being a tight assed bastard

The CopperVapes are very nice - if anyone started reselling them in the US they'd be at least $100, easy

I really like those CVs

You see there is another group buy in the co-op thread? Would save a few bucks over buying just one from China yourself

No. It comes in the side, then goes up thru the deck right under the coil(s).

The Magma reborn came with a bottom feed pin. I believe all their attys do.

 

[inspects]

The only thing I don't like about the Magma reborn is the barrel comes apart and it's a pain in the ass to put back together....POOR design.

Definitely look for one of the originals, or V1 I would assume.

But you are correct, the air can be closed off entirely I believe.

Andria

If you can remove the center pin and swap it with a bf pin you can get them here under the "BF RDA Replacement Contacts"

You need to know if the pin is 2.5 or 3 mm

They been playing with my meds for over a month trying to get my blood pressure under control. I was on Benicar and one of the beta blockers with the baby asprin and it still stayed around 170/100 with an upper 90 to 100 pulse. Now its 126/82 with a 75 pulse. The fucked up part is I been light headed today with heart burn this afternoon and I seldom if ever have heart burn but been belching pizza burps so I am sure it is heart burn. The light headedness i can do without as well as the shortness of breath.

Damn, I so much want you to get feeling better. The 170/100 thing, yeah, that's not good. 126/82, now we're in the range of normal. {My last checkup was 124/72, pulse of 60 - and I had been off the meds for going on over a month. My personal record was 199/126 several years ago when I had an episode of A-Fib.}
The light-headedness may actually be somewhat normal: your body got used to working with the elevated pressure and now it's not there. Definitely another note to have to check on with the cardiologist.
Where you suffering from acid reflux/heartburn before this all started? I noticed one of your meds is supposed to help with that.

 

[Douggro]

Now that you have the answer, Let me tail on:

If I wanted to get a good basic squonker, not expensive or fancy, regulated, 18650, 60W capable, what would the recommendations be?

The COV Wraith that just came out is pretty nice - does 80W, and looks like a million bucks for only $75

 

[Douggro]

That's just one month. Previously, the highest had been $169, a couple yrs ago. Hopefully, the plastic on the windows will keep it from being over $200 next month! And we may need some weatherstripping around the front door.

Don't have any dimetapp, and the cat's daddy would kill me if I put anything in his precious darling's food.

Andria

Winter average for us is north of $200 per month - and we have oil heat! I know it's caused by 1) five people in the house; 2) laundry and hot water for those five people; and 3) energy-inefficient lighting left on in empty rooms. I chase my wife around when she leaves lights on all over the house.

What daddy's little baby ingests without him knowing won't hurt him..

My electric bill is 200 bucks a month in the summer to keep the house at 76-77 degrees....winter $50 bucks, half that is tax.....

77 degrees feels like a refrigerator when it's 110 degrees outside.....

Sounds like it's worth every cent!

 

[AndriaD]

But you are correct, the air can be closed off entirely I believe.

Well, yeah, pretty much. But I do need a little air; I typically use the smallest single airhole in the ring, and i've modified the apertures in the deck with hollow needles; used 14ga, but they're not quite tight enough to prevent leaking; I'm STILL (since Jun 20!) awaiting some 13ga needles that I think will seal those airholes better to prevent leaking. That does help tighten the draw for me, a good bit!

Do you know if a Tobeco Magma needs a 2.5 or 3mm screw?

I normally like it about 75-76, and maybe as low as 74, if I'm cooking. But it really has been hot this summer, so I guess $216 isn't terrible, it's just a lot higher than we've seen in this house, since the summer of 2012. He got the plastic on all the windows today except my bedroom, and he'll do those tomorrow. And I'll start trying to keep the thermo at 76 instead of 75. Our summer gas bills are around $35; in the winter, they go up to about $90 (Jan and Feb), and the electric usually goes to right around $100 or a bit less. The highest electric bill previously was $169.

You have dual pane glass windows?

 

[AndriaD]

Hell no; we have old style divided light wood-framed and -paned windows. We really need to get the windows replaced, but we're waiting for his credit score to go up since we paid off one of our old nagging bills, so we can get a home equity credit line.

Andria

 

[inspects]

Most people here put wooden shutters on the inside of the windows, it's amazing how much heat they stop radiating into living space.

Yeah, the single pane windows are a huge energy loss. It's a pity new windows cost an arm and a leg. BIG time markup in windows.

No. It comes in the side, then goes up thru the deck right under the coil(s).

Ohh I was thinking of the Magma or something else.
You should just need a hollow 510 pin.

 

[The Cromwell]

I believe 2.5, Andria....most are 2.5.

Fat Daddy Vapes has 2.5 and 3mm BF pins.
I have an extra 2.5 I could send you Andria.

Like plantation shutters, instead of blinds? My aunt has those; they're gorgeous, but they have to be custom made for the windows, so... another way to spend a lot of money! We're hoping for one of those excellent tax deductions, though we usually don't have nearly enough deductions to itemize -- but a home equity credit line interest is deductible just like the mortgage interest, so that could be really helpful, transferring some of our other debt to it.

I'm gonna look into what it would cost me to get a regulated squonk mod; really don't care much for mechanicals. It's just something I'm tossing around right now.

Regulated sqounk mods seem to start around $60 and up.
the Kanger 160 squonker or that one that Lucy recently got are the 2 best cheap regulated squonker I know of.
What was that squonker again Lucy?

I do not own (or ever had) a Kanger dripbox ever.

I did get a COV Wraith that is regulated
