Squonkers are Bonkers

Hmm, this seems interesting ...

"The DX200 mod by Hotcig is the first DNA200 device to feature hot swappable LiPO S3 batteries! Compatible with Evolv's Escribe software, this device
brings a new level of convenience and flexibility to the table!"

I haven't looked at this in any detail but the hot swap capability part caught my eye.

have link? i knew about the design, but i hadn't seen just the battery packs for sale yet.

I wouldn't suggest ordering it from them but here is one such link:

Oh, you just wanted a link to the battery portion ... as luck would have it, they are available on FT now it seems:

https://www.fasttech.com/products/0...acement-2-18650-battery-for-hotcig-d-n-a-200w

ETA:
As is the device itself but with a 7 day wait.

 

[f1r3b1rd]

[f1r3b1rd]

I'm impressed, they really pulled out all the stops

My pleasure! I'm kinda intrigued by that mod myself.

Supposedly both options are available for that mod ... I might not have given you the right link though, my bad.

Good to see you here

The bottom feeder (refuse to use the "s" word) pins available for the Velocity say for the Tobeco clone. Anyone used them on other clones? One review said it was too long, but cutting it down would be simple enough. I got the dripbox, kind of on a lark, and I'm liking the thing but the included rda leaves a bit to be desired, with plastic cap and misplaced airflow slots. The only issue with the bottom feeder concept I see is the single 18650. Maybe someone will come out with a 26650...

also fatdaddyvapes sells generic pins in packs of three that work also.

First off, finally some Squonk related posts again!

I agree, either a regulated (w/ all the TC modes) double 18650, although they might get too large for a comfy grip, or a 26650. In addition, it would be nice to see some affordable DNA200 Squonk mods.

That's a good option with a deeper juice well, it won't suck as much juice back, leaving more juice in the well.

 

[inspects]

I certainly wish I could find even a decent 100 watt squonk mod. I have several GDNA-40's, but even those cost a fortune for what they are.

I ordered a DNA-200 squonker from Catfish, but they won't be finished for a few more weeks, they're not cheap either.

I'm considering http://www.shapeways.com/product/6ESX2FFXK/squonklab950-dna200-chassis?optionId=58603649 as a DNA200 option. Maybe, I get a 3D printer, and make my own design.

Sneaky little bastard! I saw you own a 26650 Squonker in a different thread (http://vapingunderground.com/threads/best-purchase-of-2016.208420/page-2#post-1088245). Where did you get it from? Links?

 

[AlbyKortoona]

Yes, 26650 link please.

Just ordered a Velocity Mini clone with a bf pin. 16 bucks delivered. Doesn't show in the picture but has all the extras, 510 tip adapter etc. At least that's what they claimed when I emailed them.

Wow, some good looking Squonkers!

 

[AlbyKortoona]

The most beautiful I have ever seen. If I bought one, they would find my inert body the next day and have to pry it from my cold dead fingers. Just mentioning it was good enough to get "The Look"...

For a master piece like shown on the website, I'd be willing to pay that much money.

 

[AlbyKortoona]

If you do like "inspects" did and buy a pair there would probably be a discount involved. I tried to explain the advantages of this, but realized it was falling on deaf ears and gave it up....

 

[f1r3b1rd]

I would love a piece like that, its a beautiful mod! Unfortunately, I would need to have a dna or an sx board in it. The wood work is STUNNING!

 

[AlbyKortoona]

Dna75 should be coming out pretty soon, one of those in a VR 26650 box would be the tits.

Most of the people who make mods like that don't want to deal with the hassle of the inevitable electronic failures down the road.

 

[AlbyKortoona]

Right, but I'm guessing that since it's a custom deal they could cut/mill your specs for a faceplate. IDK, maybe not, for sure it would not be a piece for your first mod build

edit - looks like the guy does make dual 18650's

He also does triple. But as rossum said, strictly mechanical.

Quite different, I think. The battery consumption on the steamcrave is notoriously bad

On the dual 18650 VR mods, if you flipped polarity on one of the batteries would it run in serial? My ignorance of simple electrical circuitry is alarming, I know

I'll be getting my first squonker soon. It should arrive by Saturday. Nothing fancy, but I'm really excited about it.

That's a squonker I got from New Zealand...I have two, one 18650 and the 26650...but would rather have regulated mods.

I bet you'll like it...can't beat the flavor a dripper can put out with any other setup.

Plus the 5-7 mls of juice aboard, not removing the top cap to drip....squonkers are the best mods available, just wish there was a better selection at decent prices.

They would sell like hotcakes.....I hope someone does make a printed DNA 200 squonker....!

Well, what mod are you getting? All I have is a dripbox, but I have seen the light. Going to pair that with a Velocity mini for the time being as I contemplate the correct move up.

As mentioned previously, the dripbox could use a better RDA. I'm planning on putting one of my Hastur V2 RDA on it. I have the Tobeco Velocity Mini on my Steam Crave Squonker, with a 0.4 Ohm single vertical Clapton coil @ 60W. Love it!

 

[AlbyKortoona]

How does the Hastur V2 compare to the Velocity Mini? I see gearbest has them on sale for $15. If it wasn't gearbest would jump on it, but had trouble on my last 2 orders from them. Had to open disputes thru pay pal to get them to send the items.

A Kanger Dripbox. It arrived today. Just started playing with it.

[AlbyKortoona]

I had read that the Kanger boxes were slow on the ramp up, and the Dripbox is no exception. I hit the fire button a good 3 seconds before starting to take a hit. It would probably do better with a single wire coil, I have a high gauge 30/36 fused clapton in it. The coils it came installed with had 3 wraps, didn't even try them, they got tossed.

 

[Vape605]

I haven't had that problem.
