Squonkers are Bonkers

[JuicyLucy]

If FLA is the same as FA, I have all those ingredients! (empty bottles too )

Thanks!

I think I remember reading somewhere they are pretty close - maybe a little less if its FA?

I screwed up the first time I did it and used meringue - they both start with M right? - had to trash it.

Wayne from DIY or Die did his take on it and I think it's better than Golden Ticket. The added vanilla custard kinda puts it over the top from the wax-ish tone I get from Ticket

His is close to this - his has custard instead of marshmallow and more sweetener

Would probably be just as good to most folks. I'm just not a custard person, but most people seem to love it

If I could get a clone of Rocke's cheerwine, The Soda, I'd be sitting pretty

Wow, Cheer Wine

I remember that, everyone drank it in North Carolina in the 70s, lol

Haven't ever heard of it since I was there as a kid

 

[Jlankford3336]

I keep looking at the reo site pondering on ordering a grand lp. Can anyone do a size comparison to say the coppervape so I can get an idea on how big they are?? Thanks

No joke, The Soda is worth the money. Only soda ejuice I've had that was a pleasant vape and didn't make me gag on cough syrup.

Thanks! I used the FA in the mix and only now need to put a label on the bottle. (And let it age for a while...I guess)

If you are a fan of chocolate drink juice, and have not tried it yet, wllmc's ECF Refugee is very delicious.

Anyone have an opinion on an Odin? I scored an authentic with a router drip tip and stuck it on one of my REO's with a .39 single coil. Very promising. I need to try a few different builds on it but it sure seems like a nice atty...

They are a nice atty. I've got a couple I run single coil. It's a good design & very well built.

 

[gopher_byrd]

Hope you enjoy the Gorge....I enjoyed being a part of its design

Your feedback would be appreciated after you've used it enough!

@raymo2u One thing I would like to see, if there is a V2, is the squonk holes be closer to the deck. With squonking, we don't need the reservoir filled up with juice. A 510 drip tip adapter would be nice also for flavor chasers. All in all a nice design. I just need to find some time to play around with some builds.

Cool. I am even more impressed this morning, with a dual 316l .25 ohm build on the Reo. Nice warm, flavorful vape.

I think it only fell out of fashion because the post holes won't accommodate the humongous wires that are so popular

The squonking is good for me haven't over squonked yet. Trying for a little more flavor it's not bad just adjusting coil around. Building and wicking is a breaze . But I am taking both set screws out completely. Some won't like that. Does not bother me. It is well worth the money. Question is drip tip the goon style or not I don't have any to try but think a little less bore size would help the flavor. And yes it is VERY airy. So no mtl. But I like air I'm running at half open and it's fine for me.

Still Gorging .
A great atty, I'd recommend easily for a pretty open draw -
Like a nice alternative to a Goon.
And for the money ($25), it's good quality, REALLY easy build, 2 caps, fits goon wide tips, etc...

Cap - especially this Ultem one, is too tight. But next time I take it off, I think maybe sandpaper to the orings ought to fix it.

 

[Train]

My Goon tips fit perfect...

One question for the group. Do all the mech mods hit about the same? Is there a difference in say the coppervape versus the 3D or wooden box mods that use just the small copper or silver strips. I hope that makes sense. I'm trying to decide on my next device, like an anchor box mod or a reo.

 

[MyMagicMist]

jeer, Jeer, JEER, JEER! You know I had to do it.

I'm out of poop to fling a fistful as to care if you enjoy using the Odin rda. Which
translates to "I'm happy you use what you like and won't try converting you to anything else."

Spoiler: MagicMist does what?

He reads the info about the Gorge rda in the thread. He hears brother Spanky going on in his mind. He looks at the Gorge selling page at 3F. He goes "oooooooh aaaaaaaaah". He sits with his lower jaw full of drool and drool runs down his chin. A soft little chant comes from inside him, "my precious, come to me, only Me!" He sighs, knowing now where his next stipend windfall is going. Good price point too. I will pay up to $25 for a good rda, authentic or clone. Rather not pay much more than that however, if so the darn thing better have some 18-24k gold involved somewhere. *chuckles*

Also enjoying a two strand 28 awg Kanthal single coil build hitting around 0.9 (R) in a Goon. It is doing real nice for me. My wife has even gotten a bit further behind my vaping, building coils. She bought me a small folding LED lamp which has a usb cord. That was useful this morning in seeing what I was doing without needing to juggle a flashlight.

Well, I need . It's one of those ever so pleasantly rainy and chilly days, today. Last week, full on August or July weather hitting 90's. *smh* Don't know bout all this screwy weather. Might be another ice age making the rounds. Would make sense, as the "brilliant" minds are saying now that the Earth is flat and radiation does not cause cancer.

Somebody hook 'em high, I'll go low and 'member, we all run 'er slow.

Huge difference.

Stock REO suffers massive voltage drop. You can get around it a bit with Corey contacts, including replacing the spring with a solid silver bolt.

Battery sag plays in too. Particularly at low ohms. So a parallel mod at 0.2 will hit harder than a single cell at 0.2. Despite both theoretically being 4.2v.

Most mech users size their coils to chuck huge-ass clouds, meaning they have to use batteries that can deliver the amps with a lesser capacity, and of course they use up the batteries faster - hence the short enjoyment time.

However, if you do a build for a relaxed vape at reasonable power, you can use batteries with a higher capacity and they'll last you a lot longer throughout the day.

Me, when I use my mechs (which is exceedingly rare, but... sometimes I do ), I use cheesy 3000mAh Surefire batteries with a 0.5Ω build: it yields between 25W and 30W, and one battery lasts me between half a day and a full day depending on how much I vape. Better, since I use thinner wires for the coils, it ramps up faster than you'd think.

I use mechs 99% of the time and I build around 1 ohm using 28 gauge. A single battery would last me around 60-70% of my squonking bottle (10 mls) before I start getting annoyed with the quality of the vape.

gotta be smarter then the mod your using is all...lol.love my 26650 and dually tmods...bad to the bone for me.but i think the dually will prolly be the one that ends up getting a new home...maybe...hard choice.i cant keep 11 squonkers when im almost sure ima quit vaping...soon....maybe...prolly.uhhh maybe not but one thing is i have to many squonkers for as poor as i am!!lol.and way to many attys too!dont wanna even hear about any new ones...ill relapse!

So I'd probably be better off with a quality box mod. Less voltage loss equals a better vape??

 

[DogMan]

26awg nichrome is as fat as I'll go on a 4.2v mech.

Any thicker, the ramp up shits me.

Claptons really need higher volts. I do use them on series 8.4v.

Definitely.

Don't let anyone tell you that you can always resell it close to retail though. Something new is always around the corner which can halve resale pretty much overnight

less VL means less charging or batt changes....with me anyways.ive gotten hella vape on something that has big VL mostly ohms can decide batt life...less its a REAL shitty mod.just my opinion...

Will second this experience and opinion

 

[raymo2u]

@raymo2u , is this the one you designed? In that case I will absolutely have to get one!

This is one help help with a few suggestions, and the "Gorge logo" is just a really bad sketch of the word Gorge...they wanted me to write gorge in english and I gave them a hand written form and that sketch...they decided to use the sketch and at first they used it on the barrel but changed it to the tip only last minute.
I will pass on the suggestions Ive heard hear, one thing I also agree with is it needs less air, its not always a bad thing but most single coil rda's are either too airy or too loose but the build definitely matters in that equation.

@raymo2u One thing I would like to see, if there is a V2, is the squonk holes be closer to the deck. With squonking, we don't need the reservoir filled up with juice. A 510 drip tip adapter would be nice also for flavor chasers. All in all a nice design. I just need to find some time to play around with some builds.

For the Juice well I got alot of feedback from users I knew who already squonked and their main complaint with alot of the newer squonk rda's was that the hole is too far down or lower then the deck so all the juice gets pulled back down right after you sqounk, thats the main reason its higher in this rda...giving a juice well.

for the Caps being too tight, Orings and the other issues are usually tolerances being too tight or too loose and with a change o orings or lubed on the rings should loosen it up a bit.

Yes. A reg mod is much less fiddly and if you're not up to messing around with yer shit then a reg is probably your best bet.

Regulated sounds so boring zzzzzzzzz....

 

[DogMan]

The little orca is probably a good start, jlf.

Should be under 100 to do yourself. Or minimalsaint has a hobby shop.

Copper or silver (fine silver, not sterling) contacts, and it'll out perform most other single cell squonkers. Up there with lil pinch with the way they hit if you get the contacts right (broad surface, very conductive alloy).

Interesting take - I find mechs less fiddelly

 

[Tamer El-Meehy]

I can mistreat my mechs or drop them all day long and not worry about wiring getting loose or chip getting busted..just give it the routine cleaning and you're good to go. Besides, even with my SXminis, Provaris or Svoemestos that I had before moving to squonking I always carried spare batteries with me. Like the case with my single battery mechs, I needed to change the battery towards the end of the day.

 

[DogMan]

I find both about equal wrt fiddling. But mechs give a better vape.

Saint said "raw power" but I think that gives the wrong impression, since a regulated can up regulate and give more power from the same source.

It is just direct. -------- instead of -_-_-_-_ current

[fartbubble]

only good things from a regulated is if it's more than one battery or you're throwing something like aliens at it

 

[caihlen]

I think mechs are fiddly cause I'm constantly fucking around with my shit. Cause I like to. I have a couple of pico's that while they vape ok, are pretty whitebread plain. Not my cup o tea. I have a Kbox 200 with a goon on it that I like to use for dripping when I'm in the mood for cloudsbro. But my REO's are my main squeeze....

Buuuuut not all Sterling is equal.
Personally, I've discovered LG422 Sterling which is a different alloy than traditional Sterling. Rather than only silver/copper in the alloy, it substitutes about 3% palladium and 1-2% copper, which makes it tarnish-resistant and won't fire scale like traditional Sterling. I've found cleaning to be less-frequent and more easy than fine silver.
Added benefit is that 1/2 hard LG422 is harder than the 1/2 hard equivalent of any other silver alloy, which is perfect for me and the thinner material I use for contacts.
It may not be as conductive as fine silver, but considering the 510 materials are either brass or stainless (or both) there will be an amount of voltage loss regardless.
