Low to Mid-Range

[Bigbob2322]

Finally broke down and ordered a Vandy Vape Jackaroo American Eagle G10 yesterday for $45 shipped. Not the cheapest mod but way cheaper than some. I was gonna hold out until they eventually go low. But I caved. I was gonna go for the blue python G10 but thought the American Eagle would look pretty good with a gunmetal tank.

Just received a Baby Ness from debinnv and a couple of Profiles from Sourcemore on 3/29. Slow boat from the Netherlands I guess, only wish they got the order right. At least they did not send me two rainbows.....Don't think I'd recommend them again.

THIS is a very inexpensive Coppervape squonker:

3FVape has it for $12.99.

Save your money. Don't....just don't. Not EVEN $12.99. Crappy switch, won't stay on, won't squonk, who the fuck knows why, pissed me completely off and I'm not even gonna mess with it.

I guess it was inevitable that eventually I'd run across a POS produced by Coppervape.

Efun Top has the new Aegis Solo kit in stock for $43.11 shipping from China. This is in stock and not a preorder.

Tempting but I really don't want the tank.

hi

my sister dual uses, with an aspire pockex

i won a nice, semi bling-y mod in a challenge here, and will gift it to her

BUT, i think the tank is wrong. It is optimal at 100 watts

thinking of getting 2 different tanks, maybe a nautilus, and one around the 0.6 to 0.8 drop in coil mark

any suggestions? way out of my comfort zone lol

Kanger Toptank is perfect for newbs. This is a Toptank re-brand (Not a clone, they are actually made by Kanger) for only $10. I own 6 of these and love them.
https://www.directvapor.com/vaporfi-volt-2-tank/

Another suggestion would be the Innokin iSub G. Easy peasy for a beginner and the coils are cheap and super easy to change out.

 

[f1r3b1rd]

I always suggest the nautilus for smokers. It’s tried and true. It’s almost become the standard bearer for a drop in mtl system.
The lady has been loving the Melo III with 0.5 ohm coils for when she can’t play with the higher power things, it performs very nicely for that step up from mtl vaping, into the realm of restricted dL.

Both are rather inexpensive these days

yup. i was just wondering about the longevity of the cylon.

I’ve had a cylon for about a year now and it’s going strong although I do use it a rotation.

 

[SnapDragon NY]

yup. i was just wondering about the longevity of the cylon.

I have not used the Smoant Cylon but have the Smoant Ranker and the Smoant Battlestar.
The Ranker is a smaller version of the Cylon- it is still a dual battery mod, fits nice in my hand, well built, love the fire bar. One of my favorite mods.
I won mine- but I have seen these for sale under $30.00- comes in black, brown and camo, I chose camo
My Battlestar is in camo too, but they have many colors for that mod- I paid under $30.00 for that .

Rockin' my new-to-me Wrecker G2 with an Underground RDA. It's badass.

Yes, the auto-Insanity TC really works!







It's bloody awesome. Much thanks to Chef!!!

40$ atty on a 35$ mod. For 40$ The shogun is a real competitor for the citadel.

 

[CaFF]

My new Aladdin RDA I picked up for like $8.
Went for a simple 3mm hand-wrapped and spaced 26 AWG SS316L build for around 0.5 ohm






On the CoV Tempest I got for $10, with an old SS vase DT. It's got like a 1/4" bore.
After initial breaking in and fiddling with the airflows, it's settled down nicely at 255C.

It's great for what it is and it takes 18650 and 2_700 batteries. AND Arctic Fox. Looks cool too imo. I love the thing and for that price I would have definitely grabbed another one.

 

[BobsHere]

AHHHHH!

Keep an eye for these too. Would like another for the stash. 18 shipped for this one.

 

[Rooster Cogburn]

I won mine in a giveaway, came with the Ello Vate tank and a 21700 avatar battery. Really nice setup, with the big battery and the tank that holds 6.5ml’s it makes a wonderful setup for when I’m out and about. Oh and the tank takes a ton of other coils so almost guarantee to find one you like.

The very first mod I ever used was an Ikuun, I didn't know that at the time
Eleaf has a few models that have caught my eye, but the Pico S is the only one I have. 15 bucks for the kit with the Ellovate tank. Which is around here somewhere too.

I recently picked up the SXK Box[er] Squonk mod clone from 3fvape.. "Facebook sale" (?) All of about $29.

I'm pleasantly amused. Cheap, simple battery-sled; injection-molded body and sled; Super-simple VW/VV/Bypass board with color display; and you can get to the damned board after simply removing the obvious 6 screws.

I've been vaping it for about 3 days now, with the clone Reload-S rda.. Not bad at all for under $40 total. Frankly, I'd love to buy a few of the mod SHELLS/bodies - because I can see how sticking in a simple PWM board would be trivial and enjoyable. (Anyone got a deader or one they don't like, let me know)

PS. Oh, I forgot to mention: it came with 2 adapters, and apparently can take 2x700 or the sleeved 18650's I currently use.

Squonks pretty well. I think the 0.5 build isn't great for this cheap mod though, kinda weak.

Ya, that shitty S-Rabit box just needs a lower rez to work better.
So, I did some switching around.

Put the MACE RDA on the S-rabbit with a 0.28 VV-MTL N80 wire build in it and put the Aladdin on my 'ol Fuchai Squonk. It needs the power for that build, I'm running it at 35W and it's happy.



Everyone is content now.

 

[CaFF]

Ahhh, I swear the Aladdin was made by JayBo...check this out. Look right above the bottom AF slot.



I had the cap not wanna go down sometimes or turn smoothly. I looked at it and I found it has a little groove channel on the cap and a tab-thingy to match on the atty.

Ya can't just put the cap on anyway you want, they have to align up. Jeez...reminds me of the damn Cylin.
Not a biggie if you know it's there, but I'd never seen anyone mention it before.

Looks like a new budget vw squonk mod has hit the market. The Blitz Vigor. I've seen it for as low as $30. Not sure how I feel about that side fire button.

Squeeze 2 has it. It takes some getting used to. I'm still not sure if I like it alright, don't use my Squeeze 2 very much because of that plus the temperamental squonk mechanism in it.

Bet you could put a buzz in that thing if you put a parallel build in it instead. Just sayin'.

$10 CV squonker with an $8 Blitz Ghoul RDA.
Running a single Wotofo 0.28 N80 dual-core Clapton.

It rocks.

I love the Ghoul!!!! Hands down my favorite single coil sqounk atty, and possibly by favorite overall.(I've tried um, a few ) I can't get pics to work here, but I have and love that same set up. Also got black, blue, and rainbow

@CaFF and @dubya314 @SnapDragon NY told us this morning about a 15% off code at VaporRange. Blitz is already down to $8.95 there, so if you need another one, you could get it today for about $7.60-ish with free shipping. Iirc code is "mother15."

Don't know why I didn't ask before, but I want to know how @CaFF got that CV squonker for 10 bucks. Oh, I think I remember now. I was gonna say, think I paid $20 for mine, and they are $19-something at FT. $10 is an obscene deal on that tough little monster.

I'm waiting for @MrMeowgi to get tired of his brass one.

I have a brass one as well as the SS (or aluminum, or whatever the silver is )

Not going anywhere, I love it. Also, it is currently the only workout I get from lifting from hand to mouth
Seriously, the thing is a beast, but I like a heavy mod sometimes. I weighed it once, full bottle, no atty, 486 grams! Who needs a dumbell IDK if you are familiar with the seven-22 mod, but it even has that sucker beat.

I bought both of mine as kits, so paid well over $10, and more than $20. But, I think it was around $27 for SS and $32 for brass, and those atty's both still get plenty of use from me

I think the silver-colored CV has to be either stainless or some kind of zinc alloy. It's too heavy to be aluminum, plus just doesn't have the look of aluminum. Imo of course.

I was thinking last night what I'd say if someone asked me what's my favorite squonker. Decided after a few minutes that every one I have (except the POS CV plastic dud) has enough redeeming qualities, that I really couldn't pick just one. They're all different, and they're all great in one way or another.

I have a Ram mech, a CV (metal) mech, three VV Pulse mechs, TF 3D printed mech, Luxotic BF semi-reg, VS Raptor semi-reg, Recurve semi-reg, Anita reg, Cut reg, and Bhive reg. And then there's the CV (plastic) mech piece of crap.

I agree totally. Most I have have some sort of tiny downside for me, but none with biggies, and all with something I like others don't have/do. 2× coppervape, 4× pulse mech, pulse 80w, VT inbox, aspire feedlink, pico squeeze, athena, arctic dolphin, Armageddon, recurve, Nikola Niagara, and a hand made wood by Sonar for me All fairly cheap, all get used

I found my biggest problem with a lot of them was the bottle. I love the ones Hcigar makes for the inbox. You can get a 5 pack at ft for about $16, and I put them in every mod they would fit in.

 

[dubya314]

In your Gallery, see the little pencil icon? That's Edit.


Once there, you can do all sort of things like cropping, editing, etc., but also export a resized copy. Hit the three dots and you'll see Export.

Here's my hand-check of my cleaned and re-wicked Ohmega Alpha One tank with the twisted 28AWG Kanthal build on the iJoy Solo v2. Complete with a snuggle Tiki.
