So I am sad to report one of my picos started to auto fire

Probably due to juice dripping down on the chip

No biggie

Toss it in the ultrasonic cleaner in a 91% isopropyl bath

Do a few passes, let it evaporate and hit it with the datavac, she be good as new

Two questions:
1. You didn't even open it up?
2. Where did you get 91% isopropyl alcohol?

No I didn't open it up at all...to me it auto fired so I was just going to toss it and open the other one up... but thought, heck I just fixed my VT133 by drowning the DNA200 Board in alcohol and using an old toothbrush... nothing truly lost just dropping a pico into a bath for 2x10min cycles.

True enough, but living in California, our state naz...I mean goobernment (intentional spelling )decided 75% is strong enough and safe for the numbskulls. I say let Darwinian selection have its say!:vino:

75% A.B.V. = 150 PROOF

I've always thought it was weird that I can Buy (Bacardi 151) but not (Everclear) here in California.Not that I would want to drink either...Yuck!

I need the 95% PGA (no, not the golf one) to try my hand at NET. There is a pipe tobacco I used to love, I bought a pound of it, now I have to source the PGA!!!

Wow - glad that worked!!!
I tried to get iso into the guts of an OG Dripbox that had the same problem, but without the full bath, it didn't work.
Only mod ever just plain died on me...

Good to know - though I'm 96% mechs, so I'm still not gonna pop for a sonic cleaner - not right away, anyhow...

Hey, squonkpeeps - I have a battery wrapping question over here...
If you do re-wraps good, please lemme know what you think. I'm probably just wrap-challenged, but I can learn.
Heck, for a long time, I was coil-tarded, but I got better. No offense intended.

Needs more heat or heat left on it for longer.
I haven't had any issues with any of my wifes hairdryers that I've used (3). Get the dryer closer to it I guess if it's not hot enough to pull the ends tight.
Make sure it's on high and no special ion function or any extra button they put on it to sell more. Just normal high temp.

Nice to see you got it working again. I use ISO 91% for regular cleaning of my tablet, phone, keyboard, mouse and monitor, and also for spotty electrical connections, like headphone plugs, volume knobs etc when they get 'scratchy' - and also the tv remote and shared cordless phone handset.

About once a week I also wipe down the OUTSIDE of all my mods with a paper towel wet with 91%, since they inevitably get a little slimy from use, and I hate that feeling in the hand...

Like if/when you over-squonk and by the time you get a paper towel (or as our UK friends call it 'kitchen roll'), the bead of juice has run nearly all the way down the side of the mod, and after wiping it off, a slime-trail remains, which now requires water at the very least to remove...over time this builds up and feels like the mod is 'sweating' thus the 91% ISO to make it squeaky-clean again. ISO evaporates completely and leaves nothing behind. :)

Played a little dress up with the new mod and some Goons. Thought this was the winning combo paired up with some fraliens

You must blow through batteries with those coils! They're gorgeous! Ramp up okay?

I used to build similarly but once I tried the small single coil flavor atties it was over for me.

With a 21700 you'll be getting much better battery life for sure.

As for the single coil thing, those atties aren't the best example of the type. You need something with small chamber, 22mm. I think a Wasp Nano with a big ol single coil would work well for you...similar to the way a Goon vapes.

That being said, if it works for you keep doing it haha!

Yes, 21700 batteries are nice. Got some Samsung 40Ts and although they are heavy as fuck I love the extra vape time. Also got some Cotton Bacon Prime. Loving that so far too....

I use the Vapjoy 21700 3750mah (Golisi S35 rewraps) in my Humble Bee mech squonker and the iJoy 21700 in my US Modz Stinger DNA 75. Love both these batteries and wish they would fit in the new mod I made, but I have to settle for some Vapjoy 20700s which is okay I guess lol

Just recently switched over to a coil way larger than I'd built before in terms of inner diameter...on the Wasp Nano.

4mm ID of 5x 1mm-spaced wraps, of either KA1 or SS316L...wicked tight...holds a ton of juice, maybe 15-20 long pulls before needing to squonk again, and also with a coil so fat (largest that will fit without touching the air-intakes/deck posts) the whistling is greatly minimized, and flavor is the best so far...also ramp time is near-instant for the SS wire, and leisurely and satisfying with the KA1...but by the 3rd pull on the KA1, you do not feel a delay in the heat since KA1 cools slower than SS...

After 5 days now, still waiting for my 3-pack of Pico Squeezes to actually leave the FT warehouse....:sad:

Got a package from Oumier today. Included the Black and Silver VLS, a Wasp in polished ultem, and their new 222W mod. I've used the Wasp before, so I knew what to expect there. The mod is just OK... lightweight with a dial for adjusting wattage or temperature, nice screen, but the jury is still out.

That leaves the VLS... Got it in single coil mode and really liking it. Can't make the thing leak, and I've kinda tried. Did get a mouth full of juice for my efforts, but no leaking. No pics tonight as I have it in dripper mode. I'll post pics soon with it in squonk mode.

If I were to be drinking something sweet, my preference usually will lead me to some coconut-flavored Malibu Rum, mixed with cranberry and/or/both pineapple juice in a tall glass over ice.

...but most of the time I am more into whiskey or beer...

simpler that way for me...

I have never been a big drinker and seldom drink any alcoholic beverage for the last 30 years.
Have the bitter gene and alcohol tastes bad to me.

Just a heads up, I put my recoil rebel .24 build on my new eleaf squeeze 2 at 55 watts. I was not ready to put this mod in my rotation but I wanted to try it out. Let me tell you. This thing hits like a champ. Now I need to put it in my rotation. So I can try the single coil addy it comes with. With this being a solid well built mod, 21700 battery and a super soft bottle. I think I made a good buy. BTW, am I the only one that has mods that dont leave the house.

Does the VLS come shipped as an RDA or as an RSA?

Nope.
Most of my bigger setups stay at home.
Matter of fact the only big setup I take anywhere with me is for when I hit the local bar.Otherwise I got a smaller setup on me.
