Question about the EHPro Squape

[Garemlin]

Just wondering if anyone has ever found out exactly what the coating is on the base of the EHPro Squape replica. There has been much debate and discussion about it since it obviously isn't the same non-conductive metal as the authentic. I looked at one at a local vape shop and the coating on the deck had a scratch. So whatever coating is used it apparently isn't that durable. Has anyone inquired or been able to find out what is used on the deck to make it non-conductive???

I believe it is supposed to be a non-conductive PVD coating, but with the clones, who knows?

My biggest worry. EHPro are usually very good quality. But there is too much of an unknown variable with this one.

I'd wait for the Squape Reloaded anyways. ;-)

Having only seen reviews of the original squape & reloaded, I agree with waiting for the reloaded. It seems like a night & day difference between the two. If I had the money to throw & could justify it, I'd already have an authentic reloaded. This one genuinely has me fantasizing.

I've had the EHPro Squape since it first came out. The coating has held up well enough. Minor nicks at the end of the channel from clipping wick is about it. The coil doesn't really touch the deck since I lift it slightly so the top half of the coil is above deck level. I find it helps with air flow which isn't all that great even after drilling the 510 intakes and dremeling the bottom air channels. The biggest drawback was the pyrex tube being about 10mm or so too long and strangling the passage of juice past the bell. It only needed to be long enough to extend just past the o-ring to seal but extended down past the end of the bell. One belt on the belt sander and several bottles of water later and you could actually fill it. It's big, heavy and vapes decently but only decently. It still gets occasional use but only I think because of the effort expended on it. The new one looks interesting in that it addresses some of the shortcomings of the first model, particularly airflow, but I think I'd have to try one first this time before tossing Forty-some bucks (if the reloaded is priced like the first one - maybe more) at it.

Have had a Squape Reloaded for about 3 weeks now. (Yup, it was stupidly expensive!). It beats my Kayfuns ( I have authentics and clones) and beats my Aqua. Fantastic flavor and the largest setting for the adjustable airflow is over 3mm large!!!

Unfortunately gotta pay extra for the Wide deck, if you can find it. But cotton builds are much easier on that wide deck.

Was it worth the scratch?? Yes. Yes it was. But boy does the vape budget take a hit.

Been trying to source one, hard to find them in stock. As for the clone, as the OP mentioned, the mystery coating is what is primarily keeping me away from getting one. As for beating the Kayfun, if that holds true, then yes, I think its worth the scratch since the Kayfun is already one of the best tank rebuildables you can get.
