Anyone in US had experience with DHL shipping? Wondering if they hand off to USPS or someone for final delivery within US.

First of all, hello squonkers! I've been stalking you guys for the last week. I had my first experience with DHL this week. I ordered from texas and I live in Michigan. The tracking didn't update for days. Turns out, DHL transported the item all the way to Michigan before handing it off to USPS. At that point, my tracking updated. Phew!

On another note, my Armageddon shipped today! woohoo!

Hi Derrick, sorry for the confusion. The Armageddon and DHL were not related haha.

I ordered an RCA cable off amazon that included free shipping. When I tracked the package, it said DHL was the carrier. The tracking said USPS awaiting item for 4-5 days until it finally reached my local USPS office. I didn't even know what DHL was except for the fact that i've trucks with that name on them, so I was worried for a bit.

Yes sir, I ordered the black frame/clear door.

Curious if the black is like a matte/flat or shiny. They didn't have a picture on the website.

The overhang would have killed me lol. You have my word, that if I get my tax refund and its still available, I will buy it.

I'm excited for the Armageddon. Everyone says the pulse is one of the worst squonk mods due to voltage drop.

No worries at all! I totally understand the overhang issue.
I mostly use small 22mm single coil flavor RDAs these days so that isn’t much of an issue for me.

The Pulse is a great entry point to see if you enjoy squonking. Beyond that most people will upgrade, I think. Probably best to get something like the Armageddon to start bc if you don’t like it at least you can sell or trade it off!

Yeah @derrickfosgate was telling me he switched from dual to single coils and likes it. I had a pulse 22 a while ago and traded it. I might pick something up and try again. Just have to find a coil that would suit me.

The Pulse 22 I found to be just okay. Too much air for a single coil IMO.

Something with a reduced chamber and less airflow like the Hadaly, Entheon, Flave 22, or even the Wasp Nano closed down provide all the warmth and flavor I need even at .25-.35ohms on a mech squonker.

I used to be all about dual coils and clouds until I got in squonking and these little flavor atties. I dig them for battery life too! Definitely the best way to get a warm, flavorful vape and the most out of your batteries.

I’d just challenge them to try it for themselves!

It’s funny I never thought to raise my nic level. I’ve stayed at 3mg... you still get a decent amount of air and lung hit with those types of atties so I don’t think you’d need to.

The beauty of squonking is that you can tailor it to your liking. Think of single coil atties as long sips especially with the air slightly restricted. Should the cool kids make fun of you, do what I do: open up the air, raise the wattage (I use regulated mods), squonk once to have the wick nice and exclude the possibility of a dry hit and let it rip.

What's a good going rate for a used alumide Half mod. Think they're pretty rare. Guy is asking 150. Should I go for it?

I finally made it to single coil rdas. And with the right build I enjoy them just as much as dual but with a little more heat and flavor. Usually just drip with duals now

Kind of an interesting squonker, magnetic top has its pros and cons; the con being that I wouldn't want to carry this in my pocket since I could see the top coming undone. Pro is very convenient if this is a desktop mod, swapping battery and bottle is super easy and quick.

Full mechanical, made by Da Vinci Mods.

The Coppervape BF has a similar design and I’ve never had an issue with it coming loose during use. I believe the Custom Classic is the same way.

Nice looking mod

I'd put it through a few paces at home before writing it off as a homebody - there are more than a few quality top magnetic top squonker out there that stay and stay well - Custom Classic as mentioned above, Tmod and a few others

@So619Cal , I had a chance to try again the raspberry lemonade juice you sent me. It's been steeping for a good long time aaaand.....flavors are well rounded, not extremely sweet, in other words it is very, very good. Thank you:vino:
Now, what was the recipe again?:confused:

If you can comment on where you'd change the flavors, and mouth feel...I think I could tweak it some, but from the top of my memory it was 2 lemons and 2 raspberries used with a dash of pear
