Squonkers are Bonkers

Chinese mystery metal.

Haven't seen that sort of thing since I left ecf,
I guess the turn to the dark side has been complete.

 

[Hank F. Spankman]

What is the one on the left? That one might have enough air for me.

That's a Nuppin.

I don't think there'd be enough air for you in it Cromwell

Looks a bit airier than a NarDa and I can co-exist with one of those.

Squonk threads always tend to be a bit elitist.
NP for me. I will never pay $150 for an atty or $200 plus for a Mod.
And I am happy that way.

Naah not worth it for something I can just co-exist with. esp if it costs over $20

JUST TOOK ME BACK FOR A BIT, I remember the clone wars and the dmz on ecf and got so sick of the meaningless slams. I spend as much on gear but god damnit, going out of the way like that has gotten so old and exhausting. Put that energy into advocacy or to something useful, help out another vapor.


For what its worth that hobo 3.1 and tugboat v3 both have been great with just pin swaps

Got some cappy v4 bfx bottles today from sunbox. The silicone bottles are definitely a treat to use

The Cappys are indeed a great bottle upgrade. There's definetly a marked improvement in squonking ease over the other Italian bottles.

Is there a USA vendor?

 

[The Cromwell]

According to the plumes they are about $20/bottle?

 

[andreas]

I live in europe and ordered the 4 pack, cost 75 euro including shipping ,comes out to around 84 dollars. They sent me 5 bottles So it came out to about 17 dollars each. Immediately regretted previously buying the supersoft bottles at around 10 dollars each including shipping...

 

[The Cromwell]

I guess the softer bottles help more in the side hole squonkers than in the edge hole squonkers?

the Plumes guys did say that the silicone bottles took a while to suck back.

That might be a good thing if they draw less air.

$17!!! Now that's elitist

I will give them a try to be honest though. But they will be for my more expensive mods. I can't justify having a $17 bottle in a $25 mod

The Cappys are a bit spendy, but the squonk experience is second to none. The seamless silicone seems quite durable on mine and they seal great. Did I mention effortless finger pressure to squonk...

SuperX did a video on these, kinda gives you a good idea what they are all about.

Worth having a $20 bottle on a $30 mod, probably not, but if you appreciate great squonking action, leakproof construction and durability on your higher end squonker, there is no better option on the market and worth the additional $20 price of admission IMHO.

They will draw the same amount of liquid and air back into the bottle just at a lot slower rate per the Plumes guys.

I guess I'm not that much of an elitist after all, 'cause I'm entirely happy with the Italian bottles (that were $3.50 via the CoOp I ran).

Cant get past the accent about the d_ck; but, the atty looks great!

You know, I said the same thing. I was happy with the Italian bottles too (happy enough to hoarde a stockpile of them) but a friend sent me one to try and once you have one in hand you can see and feel the difference. If your still in my neck of the woods let me know and I will give you one to see for yourself.

Now that's one I would love to get some day!!

When I first started squonking I thought THESE were expensive.

A piece of advice please. I have 3 TMods and I have a Pinch and a Nutpuncher coming over the next couple of months. Oh and I have a Halcyon too. These are the ones I consider high endish mods. What bottle size(s) should I order from these elitist silicone bottles?

The BFX ones are the 18mm diameter bottles.

You know the point I was trying to make.
You've seen me around enough,


But I am trying to find some decent bottles for my reo and the regulated bf mod
Do you know of a usa vendor ?

Don't they come in 8.5 and 10 ml?

Rob has the soft italian ones. Not bad at all IMO. A bit fiddly maybe to get it correctly sealed but they're great.

Rob's are the closest I know about. They are cheaper than buying direct from Italy BTW

Should be another batch up again soon. They've been selling quickly due to all those elitists out there

Yeah, lots of them

Does it matter if you are satisfied with what you have?

I am just more of a finder than seeker.

 

[Train]

Nuppin is indeed airier than a Narda.
There's no clone of it though, and they just sold out a batch, which happen only occasionally. Maker mostly makes mods. So you'd have to kind of keep an eye out for a used one these days. They are, however, outstanding. Just simple, reliable, exceptional flavor atties...
Not BIG air, nor a big deck or big wire holes. But as I don't need those 3 things, the Nuppin is my go-to all day favorite.

I like the O-16 too, but it's a little bit tight. And I like the Narda, but wish even that had a TINY bit more air (and didn't whistle).

Looks a bit airier than a NarDa and I can co-exist with one of those.

 

[Tamer El-Meehy]

I have a mixture of clones and cheap mods and atties as well as more expensive ones. To be honest I get an excellent vape from my $25 mods (the small Kanger dripbox and the coppervape) that rivals my much more expensive Tmods. Same with atties..I prefer my Narda clones to many authentic RDAs that I have. So by all means I can and do have a splendid vape with a $70 setup.

My ADV for work all cost under $60 for everything

 

[f1r3b1rd]

My adv is either a reo/narda or vaporflask/kf5

 

[KentA]

I too have expensive gear from Greece, the Philippines, & the State of Maine, but the Coppervape / Narda clones are now my favorites.

A great vape is a great vape.

I don't mind mixing less expensive with pricier pieces either.

My favorite squonk right now is a brass CV with an authentic brass Goon topper, lol.

 

[The Cromwell]

My ADV's are:
Kbox Mini $20 and a STM $22
Coppervape $30 something
Kato clone $5 and Serpent $18.

 

[Tamer El-Meehy]

I also got most of my authentics from the classies, including 3 Tmods, 3 Reos, 3 Cyclones, a Chalice 3, and one of the Nuppins. Not to mention that I mix my own ejuice. So guess I do qualify as a cheap SOB with elitist tendencies
