It has been confirmed that they will fit in a large number of the existing chargers, I ran across a list somewhere but can't find it now. Anyway, I can confirm the Xtar VC4 also works for 20700s, just in case anyone is looking for a list.

I don't think you'd want the black one, not for a rough and tumble mod, the black paint peels off.....or so I've been reading.

Mine has been losing paint since I got it over a year ago - but it's just plain aluminum underneath.

However, I am tough on my mods - they get real use. The CVs are a heck of a bang for the buck.

If you clear coated it or something it might hold the black color

So i got Da One bottles i ordered and here are my thoughts...

The 7ml sqounk bottles feel super soft but seem to be really thin silicone. They state 7ml but they seem smaller than my other bottles of the same capacity. Might be becuase the silicone is thinner. They are noticeably smaller than my Lukkos Silk 6.8ml and cappy v4rs kompakt 6.8ml. Have not put them in a mod and tested them out yet but will tonight or tommorow. Still dont seem bad for the price compared to Silks or Cappys....

The 15ml refill bottles are awesome. Thought they might be to small but they can refill 2-3 times. The silicone seems to be thicker than on there sqounk bottles. They are not as soft as the Boxer refill bottle i have and they hold there form. The boxer refill bottle seems more like a bag than bottle its so soft and feels like a water bed. Im really happy with these. Glad i got 4......

Edit: wish i would have got 2 black and 2 clear on the refill bottles but was afraid the black would be do dark as it seemed to be in the pictures but in person its just a smoky color....

Well, mine seems to more like ship off. No peeling. But once there is a open spot it seems to grow slowly.

I posted this list in the mech forum back in early June...

I know this is a battery question but trust you bonkers. Why can't you charge a 20700 on a nitecore they would fit I would think cause they are not that much taller than 18650. Or is there another reason?

Sent from my SHIELD Tablet K1 using Tapatalk
They fit in my Nitecore D2 and takes the same amount of time as an HG2 (forever). That is why I have an Xtar SV2 as well, I love the 1A charging for regular batteries and 2A for my 26650's. You could probably charge the Sanyo 20700b's at 2A as well since they have the same capacity as 26650's. I wouldn't even consider charging the 20700b's (4250mAh) in the D2, you'd be looking at 6 hours.

Why I only bought silver ones.

I really didn't want a black one either, but at the time they were on limited runs, and it was black or nothing, so I got the black one

It works perfectly though, just the paint job gets rough fast
I tend to only get silver tanks and RDA's as well for the same reason. Painted vape stuff generally gets to looking crappy after a fairly short time.

Most of my non CV mods are white which seems to hold up well.

My only white mod is an Eleaf Aster I won in a contest I didn't remember entering, lol

Soul S arrived today, she's a beaut.
Bad time to be completely out of coils!
I have some wire here but that's just a train wreck waiting to happen...

View attachment 88325

Well don't forget to let us know how you like it when you do get some wire in.

I did some shopping today for some atties. Pre-ordered Dead Rabbit. Ordered Wasp Nano, ShenRay hadaly clone, and authentic Gorge. I went ahead and paid for a boxer clone too. Just to see if i can even do the mech thing. If I can then I'll consider other options but a squonk for $13 is hard to beat just to test the mech waters.

I also ordered one of those Deadalus things and some wire to try my hand at making some coils myself. Just in case I also bought a 10pk of premade tri core claptons for $9.99. Same price they charge at my B&M except the ones I ordered from AVS are SS. I think I have been tasting the Ni80 and it's not pleasant. That or it's time for new cotton and a dry burn lol. It's only been two days but I've ran over 120ml of juice through there.

Soon I want to grab an Icon and a Pulse 22. That should cover the bases of single coil squonk atties. There are some duel coil ones I want to give a try also but we'll see what happens after this first haul lands. It's gonna be hard I think to find something I like more than my Goons as far as duel coil RDA's go. But you don't know unless you give a shot right? I thought I was going to really like my TM24, and turned out that while it's a good vape, the metal is thin and it gets so hot I'm afraid I'll burn myself with the way I vape.

If someone wants to get their first squonking kit, they couldn't go wrong with a CopperVape 18650 Squonk Kit?

Will do, I'm antsy to fire er up.
Sounds like you have a nice haul coming, sweet! Re: the TM24, I have the same problem with my Apocalypse Gen2, incredible vape but the alloy gets super hot. But for me I like it much better than the Goon and only ever tried it as a squonker. Maybe another good dual coil option for you, just be sure to get the SS one. I might pick one up too, all the Apocalypse's are on sale on the Armageddon site right now. $40 for SS deck, $50 for gold. Then the bf pins are like $6. If you're a Goon guy you'll love it.

I have been eyeing those. It might help also that they have the lil heat sink top caps. I want to try a number of atties out as long as I can squonk em. I'll keep what I like and sell or pass on what's not for me. Maybe not the most cost effective way of doing things but I don't care. I've found a new hobby and it keeps me from smoking 80+ stinkies a day. As long as the bills get paid and we have plenty to eat and drink my wife won't even give me a hard time for spending money lol. She seems content with what little vape gear she has, I'm constantly asking her if she'd like to try this or that. As for me, I want to see what there is on offer and hopefully find something that knocks my socks off.

This is what I didn't like about the Tm24 drip tip transferred to much heat...so I added the District 5 Chubby cap to it. Its not screw on like the TM24, and its pressure locked with an oring, but looks the tits and the AFC is still functional...

Reminds me of when I had my Skill RDA...Great to build on, Shit otherwise...same thing plagued the Skill as the TM24... Thin Aluminum walled RDA...drip tip that came with it was shit... Sold that along with my HexOhm V3 a while back as a combo deal.

My TM24 came with a delrin drip tip. It doesn't transfer much heat. I also bought a black afc ring with matching drip tip though and it's aluminium. I don't like metal drip tips at all what so ever, but I'm sire that thing would get so hot you couldn't vape it anyways if you tried to use it and vape like I do.

The top of yours does look really nice though. I'd prefer that over the one I'm using for sure. The hole in the center is actually bigger than the goon's. Can't eve use the goon dt on there. I much prefer the lip feel of the goon's dt, it's bigger around on the outside. It's kinda like being used to kamel wides then bumming a marlboro from a friend.

My brass one is great. Silver not so much despite taking it apart cleaning etc. Fire button just is not right on the silver one. Rda not good. Despite some reported problems with the sva clone mine is great. I'm between another sva or an orca.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk
No they do not fit on any unicorns i have. The threading isnt the same and the design is like the Lukkos where the silicone comes up and over the bottom piece to create a seal with the top piece that screws on. My only gripe is the 15ml capacity, heard they are suppose to be coming out with some 30ml in the future. They get the job done. With silicone sqounk bottles sometimes its a pain to remove the bottle and this eliminates that. You will be filling the refill bottle more often but ill just deal with that for now.

Ive been beating myself up for not getting in on the group buy for those. I thought about it but decided not to becuase im not a big single coiler but the more i sqounk the more im getting into single coils. I now want a really good single coil rda besides the Hadley. The Soul S would have been nice...Especially with the Chernobal Cap.....:(

@Nevweezy : Well you still have a chance, Van & Del is doing one final list on their page.. next week I think, the attys have already been made. I believe you can order the caps on that list too. Bummer is it will have to ship from Croatia which is where the group buy really helped.
They did officially stop production, Sasa (Del) posted a pic of the cleaned CNC machine today.
For another single coil option, I picked up the Pulse too. Should be here any day. Price is right for sure, really curious about it. Terrible timing on my part to be out of coils, I wanna play!

Whass happening?

Wellllll

First, guess you have to create an account once you go to check out, and so I did, but after going through everything, including paying with PP, it said problem, try again later :eek:

The red message pops up saying I already have an account, so sort that mess - lots of digging out emails from spam filter online (more :eek:)

More red message, blah, blah
then my card issuer throws a hissy fit wanting verification...

Solve that, then it doesn't like shipping address being different than mailing address on file with card issuer....

But, they finally let me spend $100 plus international fedex shipping for a few drip tips :facepalm:

Ahhh yesss, same thing happened to me for that group buy.. Their interface was wonky for me too. But hey! You got your tips!
Those things are pricy little buggers but they kick some ass for sure.
Now you've got me jonesing again, thanks ALOT.

Above answer is the short version which omits a robocall on a cell phone I no longer use, an additional payment snafu and having to dig through their annoying product page twice :gaah:

Have decided I am not fond of buying from the UK between this and the great MM debacle :wait:

Took me less than 2 minutes to get that Chalice IV from Romania and it arrived in five days

Sheesh, even China is easier, the Philippines, slow-ass Canada....

They make a pretty nifty squonker, too ya know...just sayin'.
Solid, tiny, tough little mod!

(I just wish it wasn't so pricey to add different color doors and buttons to go matchy-matchy...)
(also, that was a "day one" pic - I do now run Signature tips on my Hadalys...)

Oh, that's the one where the doors (both sides) don't attach to anything except the battery, by magnet.
So just know - with battery out, the doors just fall off...

I think you might want to do something for a bigger contact point - that's a tiny connection spot...(juice tube).


Anyone looking for a HIGH end squonker?

Yeah - they did "scale up" to make em faster, but then they went on vacation.
They should be in stock more often soon, I think!
Plus, most likely, they'll maximize profit by slowly releasing different colors and finishes and accessories...you know...

Nice - but I've never seen them in stock :giggle:

Just looked...didn't realize there's a v1.5.

It says:
The connector of the fire button is improved and a silver ring is added to the 510 connector, this will increase the contact area to decrease spark as firing. Please check the pictures.

But I can't see if they DID add a ring, like an MM has for instance, for the contact point.
I see they do still have someone takin' pictures who doesn't understand squonking, and keeps putting the door on wrong.
