I think our Nutpunches are in the same batch. This is my block...
AfBlack for me.
Will be the first straight grain (non burl) nutpunch

Nice, I wish I could figure out how to get ahold of a mech. Secret societies and such I guess...

Yeah, they are out there. I have a wood series squonker with a mosfet from Sonar that seriously puts out. Only paid $70 for it too
Oh wow....that's gonna be a beauty....!

Thanks. Something about that block really appeals. Seems timeless

Mmmmmmmmm it's so much better when you get to see / pick your block I would imagine!
Could someone point me to @JuicyLucy 's post on fixing the CV, where the blade was rubbing to the side? I'm too f-ing tired to look for it after 12 hours on the job. Thank you all. I should get my CV's in the next couple of weeks....I hope.

Thank you JL, nice as always.
I always miss the threads starting, and dual cell go quick. He needs a waiting list imo

African Black Wood. Very dense wood, Peter said with the sizemof nutter caps, straight grain may warp, but afblack *should* be okay, since it is so dense and tough. Minimal saint might be better at describing properties of it to work with

African black wood & ancient bog oak dual squonkers by Pdib & Studiovape should keep you in the easy chair for a while. Are the ChiNarda and ChiOdis going atop these? They are both excellent single coil attys.
No, they are for parallel battery squonks. I have a stumpy current on a noisy cricket practicing series buikds, and a goon for the two incoming. Both deal well with aggressive builds

It's going to be gorgeous, that much I do know for sure!
African Ebony is the name I've mostly heard for Blackwood, and from what I understand it's very similar to the density of burl without the grain characteristics of burl.
I had a very small piece in my garage for awhile that I'd received as a trade for some turning blanks, but I'm 99% sure it got tossed as scrap at some point. Outside of the basics I don't know much except it has a beautiful finish and I'm sure whomever is in charge of that block will know exactly what to do with it!
Digging through my blanks and bits I found a good candidate for some resin casting,
I believe this is rosewood, though I'm not sure what type. It has a beautiful deep red, almost purple and it's solid as a rock. It came from a hand-sawn board used in a door of some type and I picked it up as a scrap end piece when they salvaged the lumber.
I received a Tiberian Vapors Mulciber RDA two days ago and wow. 17mm deck, 22mm base. Single coil layout. It's so seriously good. Also, you don't actually have to be in one of those secret society Facebook groups to buy it. They're in-stock right on their website. A bit spendy, but less than the retail price of a Hadaly. Need to supply your own drip tip though 
. I'm using the delrin drip tips from my Cthulhu MTL RTA. With the single slot airflow ring I am getting a great MTL draw.
On the other hand, I'm not super happy with the Cthulhu Gaia RDTA. Too airy for me, and bottom airflow is whistle prone.
The Pindad fromBombertech, same company as the Firefly, is great. I use the 510 drip tip adapter and those same tips I mentioned
TL;DR? I spent too much money recently and like tiny atomizers now.

The Chi Odis is my fav so far of the Chi clones.
I put dual 2.5 mm SS coils in mine.
Man I can't stop using this reaper mod! This thing is so nice and the button is probably my favorite one on a mod to date!

More pix or it didn't happen!!!
What resistance and coil setup are you using?
Dual 26g SS316L and it reads right around .27-.3 I can't remember the wraps maybe 7-9 per side lol

O.k., I can read between the lines; you hate that mosfet. I would be willing to take it off your hands, understanding of course that the added crap (mosfet) kind of hurts resale value...
Trade possible (+cash) if you would have interest in a Tmod Micro.
Gratuitous squonk-porn:
That doesn't look like the east coast of FL.
In my own mind, the world needs more itty bitty wood squonkers.
Thoughts?

I don't know about you, but I surely need at least one itsy bitsy wood squonker! Might I a$k?In my own mind, the world needs more itty bitty wood squonkers.

I can assure you that it is -- Washington Oaks Gardens State Park, about 2/3 of a mile north of where I am.
Wow.
Ya know, you could've wintered up the hill here. Haven't really had a winter yet. Lil snow once or twice.

Nice.....I would love one like that made of stab wood...no way in hell I could afford one like that, but a guy can dream, no?
You know,
Funny you should say that. As I was sitting here staring at my desk....
I bought some bookmatched stabwood scales with the intent on using it as door material, but I'm having reservations about thinning the pieces too much and having an issue with my door warping on me or even cracking in the process of cutting the hole, magnets, etc.
so here I am, with a perfectly good set of "fronts and backs" staring at me.
On that note, I'd like to thank the members here for being so welcoming and the inspiration you've all given me. It'a fun to get feedback from the folks who love squonkers as much as I do!
Now.
What to do about these.
I will have that LOG of stab-wood headed your way this week....You know,

What to do? Make a killer squonk out of it of course!
Yes I have been running a Goon 22 for a few months now. When i first built on it I tried a single coil at around .6 worked great. But after tweaking. What shined for me was dual coil 7 wraps coming in at .43 ohms. I seem to remember @JuicyLucy comparing her 24 and 22 goons and finding that the 22 seem to give more flavor.
The Goon 22 clone I have has an oddball stepped positive pin with very small diameter threaded section. It's going to need some creative slot cutting to make it a bottom feeder. No pin swap 'n vape with this one.
Fagan said they are having feeder tube problems on drone. But lost vape is working on it.
Don't drip and drive.

I have an authentic Goon 22 in my rotation and it rocks - warms up a tad faster than the 24 but of course, has less room if you are into big honking builds.

You very funny
Wanted to try my hand at an entry level squonker so ordered one from MFS on sale. I bought the Eleaf Pico 50watt kit. I know it's probably not the best one but I didnt want to invest a bunch of money since I have never used a squonker and don't know if I will like it.

They are not bad little squonkers - I fired one of mine up that has been lingering in the stash for awhile. Like it better than I remembered, lol
Don't know about the atty that comes with it - I ordered mine without one because included squonk atties usually blow
I dont know either but I will let you know when it gets here.
