Sorry if any of my posts are out of line with the spirit of this thread. I'm a noob here at VU and I did try to read quite a bit of the posts before jumping in, in fact, it was because I read a bunch of posts that I did. Seemed like a good group of people here and I have switched over entirely to squonking so it seemed like a solid fit.
Here is number 0219, hopefully on its way to me soon!

I didn't read past pages when I joined the bonkers here, but I can give you a TL;DR of the thread.
Pico Squeeze is the King of cheap mods and considered by all the go to performer when in doubt.
Authentic mods/Attys are great, and so are clones, its your money, fuck what anyone thinks you should do with your money.
Some members are on ignore, some have left due to the above declaration, not necessarily for the same reason.
Belgium has one modder named GooberButterNuts and makes the GooberFet. Nice mod, but has customer service paralleled with Circuit City and loves the word, "Sir"
We all have our opinions, some speak theirs often, some troll... If you have thin skin and can't take a ribbing, Bonkers will seem very volatile to you.
I probably could of just used the last example only lol

One trying to oblige this suggestion is going to have difficulty being able to read all 684 pages, with ~10 posts per page in a reasonable amount of time.
Doing the math, this is 6.840 posts and not a small task. (on another forum I've visited nearly every day for 5 yrs, I have made ~6,000 posts in total myself, so maybe it will take that long to read all of this thread, at once non-stop)
Should all newbies here (myself included) refrain from commenting until this task is completed?
Maybe some expectations should be considered if they can align with reality, and maybe need to be reset?
I am not able to satisfy this request as of now. I have a life too.
If there is a specific focus to the conversation other than talking about 'all things squonking' that I missed as per reading maybe the first 150 posts to this thread, and anyone is up for the task of creating a summary or 'guidelines' for the culture that should be maintained here, I would welcome such a thing.
Otherwise, one should know that as new users come to this forum (or this thread) and add their uniqueness to the group, the situation is going to evolve, otherwise it is going to stagnate and die. This is how things survive, or not.
Some folks resist change no matter what, but the only constant in life is change.
To stay alive, we must grow, until it comes time to leave, for the next 'thing', whatever that is....
Should newbies or outsiders leave?
No, this is possibly the most inclusive squonk thread on the internet and all squonkers regardless of gear or experience are welcomed
But few here are going to enjoy lecturing from a parvenu
Sharing information is important here - but when a poster with limited experience with gear and squonking in general imposes their opinion as fact it rubs a lot of Bonkers the wrong way - and it is a disservice to people who are very new to squonking or a exploring it as an option
Just speaking for myself, when I see people repost YT shills (Grim, Jai and Rip are at the top of the list but there are plenty more) it tells me that person is not very skilled or is gullible; it immediately tells me I can't trust their opinion
Sometimes a YT vid says it all, it does not mean they do not have a place in a post - but reposting vids like what happened a few pages back (for a two-year-old attie no less) was flat out insulting

I’ve been using the DR SQ for over a week and I am pretty disappointed. I’ve mounted the coil as low as possible for the slanted airflow to hit but still getting a pretty weak flavor from the juice I’m very familiar with.
Looking through the slanted air slots I can hardly see the coil. And there is so much space in the RDA perhaps that’s why the flavor is not as good as small chambered RDAs eg. Entheon (clone), Haku and Hadaly, from which I get awesome flavor from the same juice.
Coil used is a 3mm 4 wrap staple fused clapton wire from Advanced Vape Supply. And the same wire used in the RDAs mentioned above.
You are right - fail for my vaping tastes as well.

Truly, thank you.
Thanks for the reply.
I can't even - just WOW.
To seemingly be maligned in such an eviscerating analysis, one might be completely devastated and want to crawl away and lick their wounds.
Not me. I don't care what other folks think of me.
If any of this is about me in your post, just understand that you don't know me, and to judge me like this says more about you, than about me.
I share info based on my own experience and the facts of science that I have learned. I'd rather present correct information than win any popularity contest. Maybe I have presented too much nerdy and technical info regarding performance of different coil builds and Vdrop of certain mods and this has got the hackles up from those that want to just gloss over it all.
That's fine by me. I'm not going to refrain from doing a deep dive to maximize my experience in all things in life, for me it's "all or nothing at all" like Ole' Blue Eyes said.
Sorry you don't like my posts and have decided I am against your preferences, but being tolerant and accepting of other people will get your farther in life, than shutting yourself in, as you've demonstrated here.
Saying "No, this is possibly the most inclusive squonk thread on the internet and all squonkers regardless of gear or experience are welcomed" and then what follows in the rest of your post appears as a total contradiction to this principle to me.
However, I am happy to accept if I am reading your post the wrong way. I would hope that I got this all wrong and it is my own failure to understand, for this will present as a teaching moment for me to learn something.
If so, and I got this all wrong, then someone please enlighten me so that I can take my turn at receiving a beating from The Elders,and then limp away like a good, docile servant to the cause.

The original Dead Rabbit is a completely different type of vapeBut still probably wouldn't be to your liking.As it is for sure a (CLOUDS BRO CLOUDS) type.But the SQ is even more s
f the 2 I prefer the original more.But not enough to buy 1.
Double does of radiation if you use the right kind of Japanese cotton
And some recycled Kursk Kanthal?
I love that sound.As well as the sound an atty makes when it's nice and juicy.
(Crackle Crackle Sizzle) oh my how it just gives me the shivers.
That would possibly take up an attire page of space...Or more.
I DID just upgrade to an LG V30 with the wide angle lens...

Okay Bonkos - time to plan for squonking with multiple airplane jumps again
My last pass was an epic fail and ended with me embarrassed and squonkless in Seattle (cue the violins) and an unfortunate and ill-advised emergency purchase of a Pulse
So, am open to suggestions for multiple trips through airports and my favorite (not!) TSA squonk Nazis at the Anchorage airport

I think most women get a feeling of clutteredness when they see stuff just laying around.Back when I was smoking like a chimney my wife would dump the ashtray after there was more than 4 stumps in it.Now that we both vape the ashtrays have been converted to candy trays.
No it was a pot-shot at me.Or at least in my general direction.Not that I care either way.
Nope
My wife would love that mod/device if she squonked.
She's tried it but just prefers tanks.

@JuicyLucy The trick that works for me is I take all my squonks and spare batteries out of my backpack and place them in a bin or bowl before sending them through the xray. I travel with 4 squonkers BTW. This way they can see them without having to go pawing through my backpack. It saves them and me time and grief. I regularly travel through Jackson MS, Little Rock AR, and Fresno CA (my home airport). These are not major airports by any means. I leave my mods intact, I just close off the airflow with no leaking. My ejuice is in the 3-1-1 quart plastic bag. Over 40K air miles this year so far and no TSA grief.Okay Bonkos - time to plan for squonking with multiple airplane jumps again

Oh dear...SMHWell, I own two Pico Squeezes and have thicker skin than anyone on any forum can penetrate and I'm all about everyone doing whatever they want, so I think we're good. Do your worst
Kanger DB2, the bottles have little tops so it can be sealed? 120 ml bottles of juice with refill tops from the 30 ml bottles. Billet Box?Okay Bonkos - time to plan for squonking with multiple airplane jumps again

Anchorage TSA demands you remove bottles unless they are empty - and last time I went through the one bottle that was full (in the baggie and capped as per regulation) did not make it to the other end
Of course it was a proprietary bottle that could not be replaced on the road

I no longer own any Kangers, might pull out a Geekvape though, they do take kanger bottles, I still have replacements. It's just so big and clunky
Check your mail Bubba...Cheers!
I'd love to see your entire collection in that case.
Big and clunky beats the hell out of refined and squonkless!
There's also the Innokin Bastion to consider.

I am no help, I don't travel much and when the last time I did I was smoking cigars...
could go all chemist on them and pack some nic and respective flavoring in those 13ml bottles and mix when you get where you're going...can always buy VG/PG almost anywhere

I have not flown in about 18 years so sorry no help from me on this.
Maybe mail a Pico and Wasp with some juice, etc to each location you will be going to?
Your arms got that tired?
Your arms got that tired?
Ran out of antigravitons.
yep...
and sadly, 26g struggles to hold it's shape when threading the cotton like this, so using thinner wire is difficult for me...but IMHO and for me 24g is no problemo to thread a wad of tight cotton thu it, so I try to use 24g often in most of my builds...
but everyone has a difference choice and that's cool too.

Was definitely considering at least one Pico - but am a little leery after having that one go tits up on me on the last trip
Might give it another shot, I do have at least one brand new one in the stash - ordered a couple more because I do like them and the price is right, but am a little apprehensive
I have not tested this, but the same concerns have come up on other vape forums, so I've had some time to think of what I might do...and am open to other solutions...Okay Bonkos - time to plan for squonking with multiple airplane jumps again

I figured that I'd pick up a well-known pod device like a Juul or something (yes, oh the blasphemy) so I can get my vape fix if and when needed during the trip...and then plan extra time before going to the airport, and if local to me, send all my happy vape gear via FedEx or whatever overnight to the destination....
And then rinse/repeat for the return home...
all while trying to swallow the bitter pill of violating my rule of not being caught dead or alive with a Juul, and then also likely spending an extra $100+ for the round-trip overnight shipping of something about half the size of a shoebox...
I might instead just use the Juul as mentioned and scope out local vape shops at the destination in advance, and then spend the $100 on a kit at my destination, and then gift it or PIF it to someone on the day of departure...
But, I'm just spit-balling here, and all of this just makes me want to drive to the destination if possible or take a train if there is a 'smoking car' still on any of them, and I'd just suffer the stink if I am allowed to vape there amongst all the combustion...

Hahaha I have strongly considered doing something like this when going out of state before, lol
And - do travel with the two Von Erl systems for stealth vaping - they are not bad at all. Neither is the Juul really - my one and only puff on one reminded me a little too much of smoking, so I didn't take a second
It would be totally impractical for this trip - the schedule is too tight and there are multiple destinations, and the final three days I will not have a vehicle of my own
Whoa, that's crazy, I was considering buying that exact Luna last night! It was between yours and the one below. I really wanted one with all stabwood, but the pattern/color of the acrylic one yours was too awesome not to consider. When i woke up this morning yours was sold, so it made the decision a lot easier. Guess I should thank you for that, and commend you for your good taste haha
Anyone try a Hadeon cap on their Entheon yet? I’m just wondering if it really changes the vape at all other than looking less silly...

I just took a round trip from Little Rock to New York (La Guardia) via Atlanta. I took 4 mods 6 mods, 3 RDAs, 3 tanks, 14 batteries (all in cases), 4 x 60ml bottles of e-liquid, a small build kit, a charger, multi-port USB brick, and 2 spools of wire all tucked into a briefcase as carry on luggage. I came home with another mod and tank. No issues either direction. When passing through TSA, I just opened the briefcase and said "that's full of vape gear." They said OK... Ran it through the X-Ray, and sent me on my way. All mods had batteries removed, all tanks were empty (but built and primed). Of course, these were just 2 hour jumps... For nic, I took nothing, but I'm hearing a lot of good about nicotine toothpicks.

The TSA in Anchorage is horrible - won't let juice through if its not in a see through bottle, that sort of crap
The only other place I got shit regarding vapes was flying out of Hilo a couple of years ago - they really pulled my shit apart hard core
