Squonkers are Bonkers

Seems like Rip is persona non-grata in many places online where vaping is discussed. I guess nobody ever forgave him for shilling that miracle water that cures dry knuckles and such.
Naah just cannot stand his presentation style.
Don't care for any loud in yer face pushy types.
Whether vape reviewers or not.

I like Dean and Todd and a couple more and that is it.

Yes, I've always put more faith in mere mortals that actually have to pay for their gear, and if it's crap or they are disappointed after being seduced by all the hype, you get a more honest opinion.

This of course is balanced with knowing full well that we each likely have a different 'vaping style', like right here in this thread, yes we all squonk, but I'd bet there are more differences betw each of our faves than those we have in common...

But it's really nice to occasionally see that others like certain things that I like, and it's great to be able to share tips on how to get the best or better experience.

The sharing of info, and continual learning is what attracts me.

The key is to find other Bonkers who have similar tastes to yours - there are some Bonkers here I trust implicitly because they have similar tastes and styles to mine

I am now permanently enamored with that elitist twat from Scotland; the biker is better than most, but his vaping style is pretty far removed from what I enjoy

#teamShedWanker
Yep but the Biker shines better when paired with Shedman on his Vlogs.
They are GOOD.

And yeah I am a proud Shed Shill and a Mooch Shill as well.

I watch them sometimes too, and Zophie if I want a short, simple demo, and DJLSB if I want to nerd-out because he takes every mod apart so I can see the inside of the electronics and how it looks for repairability as well as how well the soldering is done, and Pbusardo if I have an hour+ to kill, but (and this is likely to get me some enemies) I just cannot watch Vaping Bogan due to his over-use of the f-bomb every other word and the C-word.

I dont talk like that, and know nobody else that does and maybe in Australia the C-word is a term of endearment, but constant casual use of it makes me want to hurt someone. I am DEEPLY offended to hear speech like that use so casually.

Sure, if I smash my thumb badly with a hammer while attempting to drive a nail, then I will use every cuss word I can muster, but in normal conversation, I do not speak that way.

However, the simple cuss words here and there, as I've seen here on VU so far, do not bother me, since we are all adults and they are used to good effect without being weaponized or hateful.

I didn't even do that when my hand slipped into a router bit spinning at 25,000 rpm.
Me : Honey, we need to go to ER!
Wife : Did you hurt yourself?
Me: Yup!
Wife: Did you hurt yourself bad?
Me: Nope! Hurt myself really good, it'll take stitches!

The last time I injured myself real bad, I was trying to tighten the mandrel screw on a lock-set hole saw, and while trying to get it super tight, the flat-head screwdriver slipped from the massive torque and pressure I had applied. and went right into my left hand betw the webbed area of the thumb and pointer, and penetrated about 1/4" deep and created this huge gash.

I basically stabbed myself in the hand at maximum force with a flat-head screwdriver. I am surprised it did not go all the way through.

I was stunned as I watched the blood pool out of the 2" gash as the screwdriver fell to the floor, and then droplets followed it down. I could not move. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

It was like I was in slow-mo... and then I snapped out of it, and ran under cold water, and then peroxide, and kept ice on it for about an hour holding my hand over my head, waiting for it to clot.

Some might have gone for stitches, but not me. I hate going to the hospital.

Instead, I kept Neosporin on it with regular bandaid changes, and 3 weeks later now, it's almost perfectly healed. No loss of function nor residual pain.

Luckily I did not sever any tendon or nerve in my hand.

and Yes, there was lots of cussing along the way for me during that initial episode, all of which was in reaction to the excruciating pain of chiseling a gash in my hand.

Well awaiting some caps from Fasttech for flave 22 , ordered Blk and Pei , also awaiting the 75C priest BF to come in stock will see how heavy it is and if Golisi s35 cells fit since there the larger 21700,s deffo not 21mm more like 21.6mm wide. If they fit i'd be very happy with it , 3700mah 30amp true rating would be 1/3 more run time
than most VTC5A cells.
Also for a UK shop selling GR1 for 23£ +7£ for caps so looks to be just slightly cheaper than fasttech prices

That sounds like a very nice combo but I'll stick with the one @PaulS recommended , the Pico Squeeze and Hadaly. To that I added a ThreeDJ drip tip courtesy of @inspects.
Great combo

By couple others you mean Scott (igetcha69) & Daniel (DJLsb Vapes) I bet.
Scott has been doing iit longer than anybody even longer than Todd.Todd has mentioned him several times as being his inspiration.I think I recall at least 1 occasion where Todd called him (Scott) his mentor.

Grimm was kinda ok until I realized what the Cole-Bishop legislation he kept pushing saying it was going to save vaping was really about.
Now he can pound sand.
Yep he kind lost a bit of respect on that 1 I think.
Always keep (Rule #1) in mind.
Rule #1 = D.T.A.
D.T.A. = DON'T TRUST ANYONE

I love watching Zophie.
She reminds me so much of my daughter (Melissa) sometimes.
As for Bogan it's more of a Punk thing rather than him being Australian I think.
Ever look at his wall?
It is covered with decks and punk rock posters.
More than likely though he ain't like that in person.
Punk Rockers are among some of the flat out coolest people I've met ever.
Which reminds me of an interesting situation namely the time (Johnny Rotten) out classed (Judge Judy)
And Bikers are some of the cleanest.
I've seen (Sonny) get pissed when people didn't use a coaster in the clubhouse.

Does anyone know where I can get another bottle for my Underground Squonk?
I e-mailed Dragons Den but haven't got a response yet. Might try MCM direct. (I don't do Facebook or Twitter)
I would like to get the original, but am open to something similar.
Thanks in advance!

Anyone else watch Mooch's latest 'news' vid?
Interesting stuff on batteries and manufacturers cracking down on them being sold for vaping.
And not publicizing what major brand battery is under a rewrap for the above reason.

All Hail Mooch.
Long live Mooch.

Yeah I saw that too. I hope we don't have a problem purchasing our batteries in the future.
Would hate to have to vape with jumper cables off the truck

I have the Ultem Underground and the bottle included from MCM is identical to these: YFTK Replacement Dropper Bottle for SVA 75W Style BF Squonk Box Mod

In fact, as far as I can tell it is the exact bottle used by MCM

Ironically, these will not fit my authentic SVA :p

Thank you Lucy.
I want to get some spares as I paid quite a bit for this thing.
Sucks about your SVA. Ran into that problem with some spare glass a while back.
Didn't fit as the description stated. 2mm to short.

Have a good day!

I'm new to the Squonking to be honest. I do like it but just now starting to research some nice atty's for it.
Said I was going to stop buying shit after all the RBA's/RTA's( about 30) I have and now my neighbor talked me into this!
Does it ever stop?!

Yes, it stops....about a week after your last breath, you have to account for the last orders from China:vino:

This is so true - when the late great Hank F Spankman went up to that great squonk bottle in the sky - he had a Little Orca on order - I paid for it - the maker donated the cash to his family - and it sent me down yet another :bunny: hole :cloud:

Friend might need to try a Haku, but...well, ya can't get one.
So - has anyone tried more than one of the clones?
There's SXK ($12), YFTK ($20), Kindbright ($14) and noname ($10).

I certainly don't mind getting the "top of the line clone" (LOLOL)...if I knew which one it was.

I have the SXK, very close to the authentic, grubs are sub par imo, and outside of AF imo being better on the clone than the authentic, I believe it to be worth its cost.

I was told to get the SXK by one of the Haku fanboi bonkers - but still don't have one yet

I liked the authentic Phenom enough to get a clone (kinda ass backwards there, but like you said, you can't get more authentics hardly)

Only Haku I've tried is the sxk and love it. If I could find an authentic I'd definitely buy it if I wasn't broke now.
