The Wanko is significantly better than the Coral. I actually bought 3 Wankos, though mostly because they were only $10, and think they are a pretty darn good atty.
Cromwell isn't the only one in this thread that likes a good wanko.
The Wankos are even better if you remove the silly clips and put a nice SS coil in there.
I have actually put dual coils in one. A bit of a pain but vaped really nice.

3? Wow I just have 2.

Another vastly underrated atty is the one that comes with the Dripbox 160. It has the velocity style posts without the big round screws in top of them.
Raise the coils up to the top of the posts using only the top holes and they vape nice.
And they have an incredibly deep well and the orings do not leak.
You can squonk 4-5 mils up in there and vape away.

I would buy more of them if I could find them.


the build deck that comes in the Dripbox 2 atty sucks.

also I have never even tried one of the prebuilt coil assys in them :)

Nah - unless you LOVE the shape, they're kind of pricey...and like I said - might not fit right in your atty!
With the single o-ring, it's got to be just right - any variance, and it's supertight, or wobbly...
I'm glad I got 'em, but don't often spend that much on tips these days!!


My wife told me to buy all of them! whatta you say?

Oh! I thought you meant those tips, really. LOL

Given the chance, you SHOULD by nuppins in all flavors.
I actually have extra caps - not "extra" like I'd part with them...extra meaning, I got an SS nuppin in a nuppin run, and added a black cap and AFC to it, so I could mix and match. They're interchangeable from V1 to V2, in case you see one available and wonder.
Having brass, black, and SS, I can get all stylish and shit. lol

See, now that's just mean, bustin' my chops like that! You should feel really, really bad about it and offer me one of them :rolleyes::vino:I'll keep looking though, every now and again one shows up, but most often than not it is attached to a mod who's price almost makes loose bladder control.

Saw on the TV news this week a story on that...

Pediatrician Scott Krugman said it started as a digital distraction for kids with ADHD.
"They're getting their energy out with their hands so they can focus on the teacher," he said.
Now, kids who don't have ADHD decided to start spinning.

They sure do list a bunch of them for sale at Fastech.

So I got surprise vapemail again. NOT the package they say was delivered yesterday that I expected today, but a random "what the hell" order from 3F.
:D

Good News: this tip and this tip fit the Advken Gorge, as hoped, for some options.
teflon-drip-tip-for-mad-dog-goon-rda-kennedy-24-25-black-16mm.jpg


Also got the clone "Viper V2".
That one is interesting...
- REALLY tiny. SKinny. Makes the O-16 seem roomy...
- Overall not a bad vape. I think I built it appropriately, and it's kind of what I expected...
- Restricted lung hit possible, with a tiny chamber single coil - some people might like it a lot
- Still, I can't think of any way it's better than an O-16, so there's that...
Also, maybe I just don't understand the swiveling post concept. Seems mostly, well...dangerous...to me.
I kept accidentally moving the post when tightening the wire down, so I had to go back and try to "lock" it by tightening the bottom pin (which doesn't have a driver included - I had one though). So then my coils getting futzed - cuz it's a single, and pretty thin wire, and the friggin' post is moving...
Got it done, but really, I can't see too much advantage, and would rather have a fixed post and work with the position.
Running a 5-wrap, 2.5mm, 28 g. 316SS coil at just over 0.5. Odd for me - I usually can't vape SS, but it's OK so far...

Oh, and the included cute ultem drip tip didn't even get tried - went right in the bucket of "tips with too small a bore for me".
I like the way this one's a perfect diameter match!

Just a cheap ass 3D printed mech (veritube 510)
Cheap or not, if it works for you, who cares! You may carry around a super expensive mod as a "status symbol" but if it doesn't vape the way you like, it's wasted money for you! I have a couple of expensive mods but I use them rarely and only at home. I like them for what they are but my daily beaters are a G2, a Slice, a brass CV and a couple of Dripboxes2.

Yeah, had inclinations on trying squonking and his is what I grabbed for something cheap to try out. I like squonking enough that it's all I've done since January. Enough that I haven't used my then newly bought Hex Ohm. Wish I got something nicer tho

Does anyone know of a good rebuildable I can use on my Pico Squeeze? I'm just not satisfied with the flavor I'm getting from the Coral it came with.

I use a Shenray Hadaly clone on mine. It's perfect.

My quick review of the Boost Lab Shift BF2:

Well Built
Fit and finish are perfect
Easy to build on (will take 22g easily)
Squonks EASY as pie--large juice holes make even the italian bottles seem even softer
510 height is perfect--threads are butter

The reduced chamber makes for a very warm vape. Build up in ohms to achieve the same experience as your other atties. Be mindful of the intake section of the cap when placing coil as you can short it out pretty easy if you are not careful.

Air hole can be a lil loud compared to the Hadaly or Narda.

CON:

Yes, only one. This atty does not have a large well. More sqounking is needed to keep the coil wet...now most would not have an issue with this, but I am used to being able to pull and pull on the power for at least 5-6 draws before needing to squonk. I've got to be more prudent when chain vaping as I have put a burn on the cotton a couple of times. Reminds me of the OL16 in terms of squonk-often.

Is it worth $100+ dollars? I believe so. My cheapest atty (Hadaly) gets good marks, but the Shift is just built so nice.

In order (Best-worst):

Narda
Shift
Nectar
OL16
Drifter (this low for wire trapping issues)
Hadaly
.
.
.
Goon 24

Feel free to ask questions--on day 3 with this, and have tried many different builds.

That looks way cool to me.
Fitted with a 510 it would still be cool to me:)

Is that a T3S I see?

Thanks for the compliment on my "Baby".

It actually does have a very robust 510 connection up top. Actually the whole thing is built like a tank.

The photo was copied from the makers (sadly now defunct) facebook page "Fazed Custom Box Mods" for any old timers out there and I do believe that the one on the right is the T3S and the one on the left is sporting a 510/510 extender for some unknown reason.

Quick question for youse all if ya know..
Does anyone else make a 510 drip tip for the Hadaly that wraps around the base for a wide bore LP look besides Signature Tips?
Love it but with shipping from the U.K. ends up being pricey.

It is not good if not pricey ;)

Having stuff shipped overnight makes them even better :rolleyes:

Better yet, actually flying there, buying it and flying right back. No lunch, no hotel, just a cab from the airport to the shop & back.
Now THATS a fcuking drip tip.
Will I be cool then??
