Squankleux conversion is complete! Got the Gorge on top with the 810 to 510 adaptors on top with one o-ring removed so everything sits flush. 8mL silicone bottle inside.

The guy doing the conversion did an amazing job, very clean and he hit all the little details. Removed the battery wrap tearing reverse battery protectors, reaffixed my loose door magnets, ran the mod resistance checks, and set escribe settings for 2 cells. He even included an extra USB cable and threw it in an RX box despite my sending it to him as just a mod and 510 connector.

Took all of 5 minutes for me to upload materials, power settings and go.

Looking good! I wonder if he can do the same with a Triade.

I imagine it would be a lot more difficult.

Part of what makes it work so well for a Reauleux is the very off center 510 position. The nearly centered Triade 510 would overlap with the new 510 position and that raised portion wouldn't be helping matters either.

It makes sense, it's just that my Triade is sitting here. I got it just before my first G2 so I used it literally for a couple of hours. The G2 has the ergonomics of a cinder block but it can take a lot of rough treatment and still work flawlessly.

Dry Burned + Rewicked = Squonking Happiness

Cigalikes: "Eh, erm, Okay but these are kind of not functional."
Ego/Evods: "Getting a little better but still not quite whats needed."
Box Mod/RTA: "Neat but it gets all messy having to keep the tank clean, refilling."
Mech/Squonking: "Wow! Satori & bliss. :)"

I'm Asian. We don't like shoes.

Bit slow on uptake here, sorry 'bout that, been going back and forth twixt when and where. ;) :)

Me and my two brothers as 'good 'ol' country boys used to run over pastures, woods, shale quarry, yard barefoot. We would even hop up on the top of a board fence, run and keep going on the taut line of barbed wire atop a wire fence. Of course, we learned to dodge the barbs yet even so if we slipped or miscalculated a step, ... .

In more recent years, have grown too accustomed to the 'growing up' of a Western man. Shoes seem a requirement as does shirts too often. Been gradually reminding myself of having strong feet by going barefoot around here unless I'm working up wood.

Get a chuckle out of nurses if I get put in hospital. They'll be walking away and lean close to one another and whisper, "he's one them kind." It's about then they find the senior nurse who understands me saying pain is at level three equals what ten other folks would say is level ten.

Kind of funny story about that too. Had diverticulitis simply due to not paying attention. Me and wife were enjoying some ahem, romping. She was mounted and enjoying her saddle time when suddenly I grimaced in sheer pain and threw her off. She 'sweet talked' me into agreeing to go to hospital.

My terrible embarrassment was rather visible. I was not quite 'finished' and it was also a bit painful in its own right. Fortunately for me, a very nice and quite competent nurse came in during the 'after hours' shift, she was a Geordie gal from England and she took away at least that particular pain.

Now, I have learned better. Need to be sure I eat and properly. Also have to watch blood pressure, stress, anxiety. I tell ya, have become a total puss over these past few years but then again I've also had one Hell of a ride getting here. :)

Just want to share the latest squonkers I just finished making. And since all but 1 are custom requests (hence presold) the customers might not share some photos. So here they are.

CXB4dj0.jpg


bjUskIh.jpg



First 2 are 20700 mechanical squonkers. Dyed in a sunburst pattern and finished with poly. Both have flush mounted 510's and 10 ml bottles. with magnetic switch. and Copper plates.

mMzJNV7.jpg


Next is a Dual 18650 Variable Voltage Squonker. With custom inlay, Using a OKR-T/10 board it is Capable of 50 watts, 3.4 to 6 volts. With low battery protection, 8.5ml bottle.Finished with wax and oil

0V2zbE9.jpg


And finally the only one not presold!

A Dual 18650 Variable Voltage Squonker. Using a Raptor 60 watt board, 3.4 to 6 volts. With low battery protection, 8.5ml bottle. Finished with wax and oil. I cant decide if figure in wood reminds me of either Wind or Fire. What do you think?

I have one. I like it. I do feel like the squonk itself (juice flow) is a bit restricted...but if you don't mind patiently holding the bottle and waiting a couple seconds...then the vape is really good. It IS big - I think it might look/feel funny on an itsy-bitsy box - but I have it on a Coppervape, and it's a good match!

It's about then they find the senior nurse who understands me saying pain is at level three equals what ten other folks would say is level ten.

Ten is supposed to be the worst pain you can imagine. Well, I imagine having a limb hacked off or being set on fire would be about the worst I can imagine so yeah, even my worst pain-filled days like yesterday, or in the throws of a huge kidney stone blockage, are a bit less than that. So I never say above an eight even when I'm in agony. :giggle:

It always bothered me about that scale. Especially since they kept written records of how they tortured people in the Middle ages.

Anything that won't kill you from shock or massive tissue damage should be below a four easy.

Actually they tend to lose their reference memory's on many tings.

Wish you would recall where my little brother hid that stash from those eight jobs we did involving financial institutions. Need to borrow out about 2% of it.

Learned today that even having help, we are too poor to afford being poor. Excuse me whilst I go out and shoot a few appendages off just to ensure compliance.

Well at least ... :confetti::vapemail: Got 28 g & 36 g Nichrome 80 from Temco, 4 LG 30A 18650s from IMR along w/ two double buttery rubbers. They no longer carry single butter rubbers apparently.

I only did when I had appendicitis. They asked me that 1 to 10 scale... I said "twenty eight... maybe 47." Worse than an abscessed tooth. Worse than a kidney stone. Worse than labor pains. It felt like something was trying to CHEW its way out of my belly. Locked up every muscle in my entire torso, I could barely even breathe.

I set up a SS clapton on my new Wasp. Holy cow, does that thing blow vapor! Huge clouds from such a tiny thing. Really glad some of my 510 drip tips fit on it. I have it set up on my Pico Squeeze. I really love how deep the juice well is, it holds a ton of cotton/juice. Many thanks to those of you who recommended it (I'm looking at you, @The Cromwell). :)

*Rolling an eye over the pictures* Yep, nice Z style coil building. Here in a bit I might ambitious enough to put a nail in a clothes pin, go find the electric drill. Hauled a cart of firewood down meant to been hauled by a lawn mower, small tractor. Riding mower would not start despite her BIL having had two, three days to fix it since I told him it was fouled. He volunteered and said he'd get to it. I've already split the wood, cleaned out the stove, bringing wood down. I figure next I'll need to wipe his ass too. I'd fix the mower but dealing with wrenches at times for me is one of those bits get put on the list of "Things You Better Not Do". I get weird, erm weirder than my normal weird.

Her Bro in Law was supposed to fix our riding mower here. We have a cart to hook up to the back of it for towing. A few loads in that cart compared to wheelbarrow loads would have been easier work. No, that was not meant to be, it would have been too easy.

I had already split up a bunch of firewood last week. Cleaned the wood stove yesterday and walked the cart down, I had loaded it heavy figuring it would be towed by the mower. Got down the hill to the ricking area on our porch. Unloaded the cart and ricked the wood.

Wife's sister & brother in law seem keen toward letting us pay the bills and or do the grunt work, This is why today me and wife went to get a housing rental voucher. It is why I also stated we cannot afford being poor. The estimated monthly rent they want us to meet is $319. On only her pay that leaves nothing more for any utilities, much less savings toward a down payment to buy a little later on.

I'm sure that something will work itself out. As a buddy reminded me, I survive, it's what I do.

Belt thrown or broken?

Either way, new belt required. Might undercoat the deck with PAM cooking spray for next mowing season. Someone suggested that to help keep the deck from rusting, getting loaded with grass.

think I have a new belt.
Both the walk behind and riding mower get downed for deck blasting, Rustoleum rusty metal primer priming and color coating so they will be well cured by spring And good for another 10 years of use.

Well done and cured for a couple months Rustoleum is super tough stuff.

Just received tracking for the mod from here. It’s a race to see if my new squonker 75c makes it first or the 60watt. Probably both will arrive on the same day. Gonna have fun this weekend with both. :)

Yep, I got neon green as well. He was supposed to have more this week but I haven't really been checking. Really need a door to match this green and a black beauty ring as well lol
Wish I was better at designing my own files because I bet the sla printer could whip these up quick. Although Idk if I have the right resin.

Wow! Nichrome is very nice. :) Got a 4 strand twisted 28 awg coiled round 3 mm 6 wraps, it hits at 0.30 Ω. Quick ramp up and evenly heated. Yes, I am using the LG HB6 18650 1500mAh 30A Battery to push it along. Very good :cloud: :cloud: & good flavor as well, at least as best I can taste flavor. Added a smidge of menthol type juice.

ETA: *Now, sits chuckling maniacally & muttering ...* "Ooooooh use the 36 gauge, Spanky says, make the fused Clapton and then the Alien, he says ..." *Trails off in manic chuckling and occasionally getting this little glimmer in his eyes, as he chants "Ah, boom, big bada boom", the rest is unintelligible whistles, bleeps, blops, mystical ordnance finger diagramming, clicks, whirs ...*

Thanks JL, I posted in his thread though the most "recent" post there was from July.

I'm sure he'll answer - his is the only I've ever tried - great person to deal with

Conversion of the SVA75 clone over to a MM 510 complete! The mod maker is too short for the SVA, some of the internal plastic was milled out and still ended up having to recess the 510 about 1mm into the top of the mod for it to work. All my atties make connection but I did have to back out one of my atties pins a half turn to make contact. Outside of grinding down the top of the mod 1-2mm leaving it looking terrible, not much else to be done.

Plus side is, this is 1000 times better than the terrible manual adjust the clone came with.
