Yeah, the chalice was always a bit too rich for my blood, but now that they can be found at reasonable cost they started to gain some appeal again. But I always loved the look of the matrix and that ultem tip finishes it perfectly!

The same seller has a fury and a no toy also, I thought about the NT for a hot minute but I'm not wild about it like I am for the matrix.[/QUOTE]
How much for the Fury? PLEASE!!!!

Hard to argue with that - I'm not selling any Nuppins though!
:):)
I don't blame you for hanging on to the Nuppins! I have 2 of them and that's about the only ones I've used in the last week....to the detriment of the Hadaly.

Ugh. They had to put in juice wells, didn't they.
Well...crap! They did put wells in it! But they made it easier to bf, I just wonder how the overall changes in the deck design changed the vape quality. The original Derringer was a great little flavor atty, I wonder how the V3 is.

Has anyone tried the Derringer v3 from FT? it looks easy to squonkefy!
I've got one.There are several versions and they take different 510 pins.The one I have takes a 2.5mm pin.The Fatdaddy pin is to long on both ends,but the ones that Fasttech sells fit perfect.So,yea,it's easy to squonkify.

That sounds good, but how does it vape? Also, do you happen to have either the SKU number or link to the one you have? Thank you.

Will be my first 14 since I abandoned my cyclones, but I recently made a cherry box with the 16mm modmaker 510 recessed, so it's just begging for something small.

Oh, that deck.... yeahhhhh....
For the Matrix it's a perfect deck with no posts IMO, nice and simple, drains well and supposedly just pounds the flavor.

I've been tempted to try and retrofit the MM 510 into the octo...

I've yet to have a single trace of leakage with the MM510, although the varitube has never really given me trouble aside from that little red o-ring under the head of the 510 pin.
The biggest part of fitting one in would be boring the hole from 10mm to 12mm. After that I'd have to believe it's just tweaks to the contacts....

tell more, plz!
Maybe compare to other small ones? Tighter air than an Origen little 16?

No way, the Origen little has way more adjustable options. This is definitely less airy then the hadaly, easy-ish to build on, beyond well built. Just guess I'm either airy or little to no air like on the Origen little.

Does the Reo mod actually suffer a large voltage drop ? I guess I never noticed because I run my coils at between .75 ad 1.0 Another question all of the newer mech squonkers I see have no safety like a Reo spring and no button lock. Are they not pocketable?

I've carried a REO in various pockets for 2+ years and can't ever recall turning it to the off position. It has never gone off by mistake. Of course, if I carry it in a front pants pocket (seldom) I try to avoid locations where a pick pocket (or other professional :eek:) may inadvertently fire it. ;)

I don't know what is considered a Large voltage drop, but with my stock REO it never seemed to be a concern to me.

I pocket all mine. Granted I don't wear skinny jeans. But in an ordinary pocket they are fine.

The biggest thing I like about the extra Inbox bottles is that they come with a stopper, so you can pre-fill them with juice and just change bottles on the fly instead of having to refill the bottle.

Also great for taking on airplanes - no leaking worries.

I tried as suggsted to lower the 510 ring on the CV to get the first Hadaly clone i bought to work but thats a no go...im guessing the clone is pure shit and the pin was made too short...id rather have the ring tight than too lose anyways even if it did work...Loose anything is bad for contact and creates massive voltage drop...basically it would be a loose ground as contact to the threads wouldnt be very tight.

Also, I bent down my copper spring a little and was able to slightly tighten up the fire button..feels more firm to the press.

Im seriously thinking about using a slightly thicker copper to make a different spring with capable of better current handling.

If someone made silver coated copper screws for the button and silver contact/springs, and even a copper or silver coated copper 510 screw, the CV could be a serious firing mod.

Yeah, I seriously plan on turning at least one CV into a hotrod one of these days

I have a Friend of the family who works with CNC machines i might can get to make a full copper CV...i need to price out a block of copper and its $150 an hour for the cnc machine use and labor..pure silver sheet is about $45.00 for a small sheet/strip...would be nice but expensive to have done...plus now you need the CV fire button screw/contact silver plated as well as the factory 510 pin and 510 ring...im guessing $250 or more to have one custom made which really isnt all that bad considering the cost of some other mods out there that wouldnt be as good.

I prefer the origen16 personally.

And dropped the cash on the new Boost Shift v2. Hopefully gets here soon.

I agree about the Origen 16 too.

Also if anyone is interested I'd be willing to trade/sell it as well as my Stabwood door that from the looks of it will fit the beautiful mods made by minimalist :)

Any upgrade bottles for the CV out there?....mine works fine with the bottle full but once its halfway down or so its a pain to get juice to the top.

I don't know if this may help...but...

When I looked at the bottle threads on the bottles that came with the CV I got last week; (From 2F) they looked like they were touching. With only a little finger pressure I can wiggle the soft plastic threads.

I don't have any problems at all squonking the CV empty. (Using a Shen Ray Hadaly) I have been using only the bottles I got in 2014 from Fastech. (Fastech bottle on left)

Could these CV bottle's soft threads be causing your problem? :anyone:

So... like....what's the word on the Drone? Likes, dislikes???
i don't have one,but some have issues with the fire button sticking like the Therions.And general consensus seems to be that the bottles suck.Battery door seems to be a slight issue also.I Probably won't get one till those issues are fixed.

I'm eyeballing it pretty hard right now. Got one in my cart at FT and still debating pulling the trigger on it.
Same as therion I've heard. I have therion. Hard bottles and sometimes sticky button.

I got 3/4 through that hard ass bottle and it's been sitting on my nightstand sans an attie since then

Will give it another shot once those MM bottles get here and will try it with an attie I like better than the Gaia

Thank you all! It seems I'll pass on that one, wait for something else since now it seems everybody and their cousins got on the squonk band wagon.
