I got the SXK Haku from 3F today, I think I like it! The 3.0 mm coil was OK, the 3.5 mm is better.Will I get the authentic? Hmm....If I get a couple more Cyclones, a couple more Stumpys and enough Nuppins (though I don't think I could ever have enough of them), then yes, I'll get the authentic.

I am glad you like it. Be careful with the screws as I mentioned in the comparison, they are rather soft imo.

I was planning on changing them .....as soon as I find in what box they hid!
It seems VVV is the only one with the GBox in stock and a decent price! I guess I can try their free juice, worst case I can use it to drive the gophers away!:drunk:

I got all Lemonades flavors! The one from @So619Cal is waiting patiently and letting the flavors meld. The raspberry was very pronounced and in time it should mellow a bit.

The one thing I did notice is the 510 pin in the Haku has a rather small hole going thru, it may need to be "improved".

Its a tad smaller on the clone than the authentic...and I agree a small drill bit would improve the squonk flow for sure. I'd just be a little worried if you are using those ultra soft YFTK bottles there wouldn't be enough suction to pull out excess squonking

Well now I know LOL...no 3mg and when someone says Raspberry Lemonade, make sure to ask, "Raspberry right? Not Lemonade with a nice touch of Raspberry?" haha

I have a few 5-packs of the new Therion bottles on the way, they're soft silicone but not YFTK mushy!

Oh, no! I can fix it right up! If the raspberry is still forward, I'm taking 10 ml of it, adding 20 ml PG/VG mix and 0.4 ml (2%)Flavorah Lemonade.

I take flavors pretty literal... Strawberry Milkshake... yeah you're getting strawberry!

Vanilla Bourbon... Yup, you're getting a slap of vanilla!

Caramel Cream - You guessed it!

Some of these juice vendors should reword their shit...

Strawberry Milkshake....

Vape juice with a hint of Strawberry wet paper bag Milk lol

In their defense though, taste is subjective...but yeah, Wet paper bag with a hint of wet strawberry cardboard milk

You haven't lived until you had a "skunked" beer! Hot summer day in Los Angeles, get home and find a six pack in the fridge! Happy day, right? Pop the top, pour it real fast and down the hatch! Holy F**K! The beer must've sat on a loading dock somewhere in full sun for a few weeks!
I wonder if @JuicyLucy is gonna sell/trade her GBox 200:vino:

If I were a betting man...if you got shipping notification today...you will get it 17th or 18th.

Edit: BUT... that depends if you let it sit a month at the shipping address again lol ;) *poke poke jab jab*
It is headed to my San Jose pick up site.And that package only sat that long because my wife had just dealt with a cancer removal surgery.So I was taking care of her.

I'd consider doing so ;)

No, still haven't tried the TC and probably never will. Just not my thing and I hate fidgeting with those boards, lol

I always thought a small hole was a good thing.

It has a lot to do with how beer is stored. I had Pilsner Urquel in Europe and it is a great pilsner. I prefer Belgian ales, but a great Schwarz beer is fine too.

Funny, I had a Pilsner Urquel not that long ago myself only mine was canned. I still can’t figure out why the hell breweries STILL bottle beer in clear or green bottles. Light turns the beer to skunk! Seriously think about every beer you’ve had from a green or clear bottle... Heineken, Beck’s, Corona, and even my beloved Newcastle suffers the same way occasionally.

Ever try 1 of these below?

As it happens, I did! My BIL lived in Denmark for several years and on one of his visits here he brought several beers. The Tuborg was better IMHO but we decided to stick with the Gordon Biersch Maibock since I had 5 gallons of it:cheers::zombie:
One of my most favorites is Deus!

Oh I used to love Gordon Biersch.You know back when it was still being made in Palo Alto & San Francisco.But alas after they moved to San Jose all their beers seemed to have changed...Shame really!
Soon after the move I think they got bought out by CraftWorks.
Like I said it is a shame!

The way I heard it from Dan GORDON, HE HAD TO SELL ! In any case, he bought back the original Palo Alto restaurant and re-opened with a new name "Dan Gordon". Too fricking far for me to drive there but it sure sounds like a great place!

Just noticed FT has the yftk supersonic clone in stock. Also the Nixon v1.5, the supposedly mtl one. Reviews on the Nixon look a bit sketchy.

Oh if anybody has that Fuchai 213 Squonk Kit I'd love some input on the RSA that comes with it.
Had it, sold it ! I love TC and it was meh! I never took the atty out of the box. I have another blue one coming sometime next year:confused: unless I open a PP dispute and get my money back.

If I remember correctly, the Nixon 1.0 is MTL, the 1.5 is DL and has a squonk pin. The 1.0 doesn't have a squonk pin. 3F has both....at least it did a few weeks ago.
