Squonkers are Bonkers

[Train]

I've got one and like it.
Key points -
- it is TINY. Really small.
- it is very similar to an original Dripbox - same magnet flap bottom under juice, same button under atty. Which is the weak-point if you ask me - the button on my Dripbox died after a couple months. This one seems FINE so far, but I worry, lol.
- Bottle looks just like Dripbox but is NOT same size - and replacements may be hard to find

Anyone have a Pico Squonk?

If so, is worth the 28 bucks they are selling for? https://vapenw.com/holiday-sale-2016/eleaf-pico-squeeze-kit

Plus.. 20% off using the code Holiday2016

Not to hot on mechs, prefer regs, airy draw dtl, and I thought about the dripbox 160. Is it worth a shit?

I PIFed my DB160 after a week. Couldn't stand the firing delay.

How high do you go on watts? VTinbox by hcigar could be a better bet.

But I'd just buy an rda first to see if you prefer the vape. Could save you money if it turns out you prefer tanks

Well... I actually drilled my first two successful conversions. A Troll v2 & a VPRS OG Mini. I'm totally happy with them both. Used the pin from the Sapor conversion kit in the Troll, works perfectly. I love this atty

 

[The Cromwell]

You OK with mechanical?
You OK with waiting for China?

If so - Coppervape mod. If you prefer regulated, maybe the Dripbox 160...

And tell us what kind of draw/air/build you like for a bottom feed atomizer recommendation...

Vaporbeast has the Dripbox 160 for about $36.
Not a bad mod. The SS316 works nice in there for TC.

In one thread, I'd figure it as a joke. But in two threads, and telling a friend not to talk to me? Either it's an insult or a very poor sense of humor.

Poor sense of humor, my apologies, I was indeed merely "funning" with you.

me too

what is worse than shoving a half dozen oysters up your grandma's cunt and sucking them back out again?

sucking 7 back out

 

[JuicyLucy]

Yo Squonkers, might like to dip my toe in the Squonker water. Please to have a recommendation for a good, reasonably priced, setup to start out on?

Regards,

A+ for the Kanger 160 for the cheaper side, or the VT75 for something a lot nicer, with all the bells and whistles

The atties that come with squonkers almost always suck, so find a good clone of something that would fit with how you like to vape now.

Origen clones as mentioned is a good choice, as are the Hadaly can be wrenched down pretty tightly and is very versatile. Don't have a clone yet, but the authentic is amazing

Well crap, I just about ordered a DB160 as they are/were on sale for really cheap. But now you put me off on it. Next time you feel the need to pif something, let me know lol. Excepting any oysters of course...

IDK what country you are in, but shipping from me to the states on the drip box would be more than they cost retail

i have noticed most products drop about 50% in 6 months to a year of first release. i am waiting until the pico drops to around $10 since their usb ports are so weak before i order anymore..(if i ever do)

With code "yeahbaby" shipping is basically free, so yeah baby more bucks for oysters lol (although the dang things do get stuck in my teeth)

 

[Train]

Ah - I never USB anything I don't have to...
Pico, FYI is the odball that has the battery go in UPSIDE DOWN.
It's pretty plainly marked with a big + in the bottom of the tube - and probably has reverse batt protection. Probably...

The trouble with VaporBeast is their outlandish age-verification demands, with the four digit SS# plus ID, etc

Worth a few extra bucks to get it from somewhere without all that BS

i have 4 pico's,, and other mods,,quite aware of how the battery goes in

 

[PaulS]

Built correctly the Maze atty that comes with the VT box is not bad - I use one with the ultem cap on a squonk - not the VT box my Hadalay is on that. Some attys that come with squonks are okay.

An off topic question (if there is a topic)...my wife asked me to get her a "girlie" mod..she's not into mechs or squonking..and she's an MTL vaper (Kayfuns, Roses, Russians..etc). So far she's been using Provaris..but she's bored with them and wants something new.

 

[Tamer El-Meehy]

Thanks

Hey buddy..always great to see you around...how are you doing? glad this misunderstanding is over BTW

I just order from Vaporbeast like I always did.
I think I may have to fill in my birthday now maybe?
Just put it on my visa and no hassle. No ss or anything at all.

Anything up with FT though? And using Visa.
They immediately declined mine last night just bam quick.
So I used Paypal which is fed by the same Visa.

Little pink Kbox mini or the platinum one.

Billet Box? Lots of girlie bling out there. Big with the MTL crew who like quality, which I assume she does given the provari.

Or a few female friends love these little target mini contraptions. Tiny things, her kayfun would be taller than the mod.

I'm doin ok. Doesn't look like I'm going to make back to your neck of the woods anytime soon, my company closed down their manufacturing and I got laid off. I've still got a bunch of EGP I gotta do something with, lol. I see things there are getting a bit escalated, how are you doing?

Thanks man..correct me if I'm wrong, but she won't be able to use her atties with the Billet Box..right?

No. But lots of options now. From using kanger coils or rba head to hellfire atties made specifically for the BB.

Billet boxes are a pain too. Messy and no other attys.
I hear the $160 or so RBA deck for the Billet box is nice.

If you love your wife, I doubt it's a good idea to let guys pick out her new mod. lol

Here are a few ideas that might appeal to a woman looking for a quality vape on a attractive setup:

The Hohmtech Slice, maybe the Dotmod, The HCigar VT75 is out in a nice variety of appealing colors outside of the usual.

FT has a VT75 nano that looks pretty sweet

Pre 8/8 customer, I assume?

Yep they have been on my go to list for 1.5 years I guess.

The only place that gives or I should say gave me any hassle was Eciggity.
Off my list.

Everyone knows that The Cromwell is older than most dirt.

I'd never bought from VB before and they made it such a hassle and asked me to do things I will not, so they are on my no-go-to list. Eciggity has gotten almost as bad. I thought that since I'd been buying from them for over a year that I could skip the nonsense - apparently not.

Yeah same here with Ecigity. Had been buying from them for over a year.

Interesting though. Last night I made a small order from FT and they declined my Visa immediately.
and I mean immediately, there was no time to verify any database unless it was in their server.
It is a Debit Visa with several grand in there. I just used Paypal which draws from the same Visa,

I have to wonder if rules are changing....

I know a number of credit card processing companies are giving vape suppliers a lot of grief

I also see paypal is being allowed in some vape transactions inside the US, not just China.

You've got a point, I have to admit...but DogMan's suggestion is not without merit either...premade coils are a wonderful idea

Glad I have all the stuff I need and more too
I may pick up another Dripbox 2 if I see a good enough deal on one.

 

[The Cromwell]

Have you looked at how you change a coil in a Billet box? You WILL get juice on your hands.
You also will be wiping down stuff afterwards.
Your wife may not like that.

That's the thing - I don't need anything to vape at a very high standard for a very long time

Wants? That is another story

yeah the wants.....
I really do not even have many of those.
The additional Dripbox2 will be a backup for long term vaping.
I like vaping the Oatty on it at 435 deg in SSTC mode.
I figure I just have to make it 15-20 yrs max.
Got enough nic and stuff for that.

Wife asked me the other day what were all those bottles in the bottom of the freezer
I told here they were insurance against our government being stupid.
She agreed it was a good idea.

shit..that's bad..hope you land a job soon man...the good news is that you're not missing much when it comes to our neck of the woods..not getting any better I'm afraid...as for the currency, pretty soon you'll be better off trying to test your EGPs for wicking great for tourism and exports though..if you have tourists and exports that is

I don't know how "girly" it is but I'm a huge fan of the Lost Vape Halcyon. I have it in red with a red goon rda. I'm still waiting for a squonk pin for it, but I'm happy with it.

Ah. I missed that somehow. Currently I'm not using my Halcyon as a squonker due to the lack of bf pin and it works like a dream. Another option is the Smok Alien Mod and Baby beast. My wife just got the blue TFV8 and red Alien and it vapes like a dream. I'm waiting for the red TFV8 to be available before I make the switch.

Minikin v2, maybe?

I have to admit, as someone who never smoked before, I don't actually know the difference. I just vape for the flavor.

No problem it is how we all learned.
2 years ago I knew nothing about vaping.
Now I know a little more than nothing

I may be a bit blunt but not downright rude to newbies.
Just not well versed in being too nice I guess

Please hang around and learn from our mistakes.
Places like this and you tube are your best learning resources for vaping.

also have some FUN!

 

[Khaleesi]

I'll definitely stick around. I do have thick skin from being military and gay so that should help.

 

[Train]

High end gift, I'd be pokin' around on Vapinart. Even for a non-squonker.
Ya got the Yihi

Ya got the pretty colors

Ya got shiny things

Heck, you could give her the hard wood...
