It's a beauty! I'm looking to trade for one after seeing them and reading the comments in this thread.

I like it a lot so far. I'm not a huge fan of proprietary bottles but the bottle system in this thing is fantastic. It's incredibly well made. Even at $200 for a new one from VA, it's a steal, IMO.

Love the RDA on the black squonker in the middle. Is that one of Vandy Vape's new models?
It's a Requim rda - nice little 2.5mm single coil, comes as a kit with 3 different caps with various air flows. I seem to like the middle one for flavor and it's a little more restrictive than the wide open option. Nice little kit and works great on mechs too.

(actually, liked it so much, when they were on sale, I bought a red one, too)
Are they rounded enough to fit nicely in the hand or are the edges a little sharp ie: the SQ217?

Hmm - tricky question!
As you can kind of see, all the surfaces do have a gentle curve to them - it's really pretty elegant. BUT the door to body edge is kind of an edge... I'd say it's kind of in-between.
Trying to think of a curvier mech squonk that's still readily available - I just got (finally) a Boxer...
Then again, what you really want for THE BEST curvy hand-feel...is a Limelight. Maybe ask around for someone selling a Gloom?
*walks up to the Church of Squonk's podium, gently taps the mic, clears throat* My fellow squonkers, we need more converts. Our monthly quota was off last month or so say the counters of beans. Beans, hmm, ... *leaves the podium ... steps back* That is all. *returns to his quarry of beans, ..*
Very nice collection!Spent the afternoon re-wicking, cleaning, refilling, charging, etc. All systems are go.
Which one is your favorite?
Thanks!
Oof... not sure I could pick a favorite. They are all special in their own way, lol. The one thing they have in common is they are all exactly what I want them to be, if that makes sense.
I value simplicity and durability above most other criteria, hence only one regulated. The Basium is a terrific squonk mod and I use it daily but its primary function in life is as a build station for my mechs. It's the only regulated mod I own.
I noticed that you don't have an SQ in the collection, have you tried one?
For me the SQ217 and Spade 21700 are top 2. The Spade is the best built imo, I love the battery cap set-up and being able to adjust with it. My only negative is the spring loaded 510, I have to build lower when using the Spade as opposed to other self manual adjusting options. If the Spade hit like the SQ it would be the perfect mech squonk.
All of the mech squonks I've used over the years have their strengths and weaknesses. I'm still waiting for someone to build the perfect one for me which is what makes this all fun because it's so subjective, my perfect isn't the next guys perfect.

I've had the Topside version of the SQ but not the 217. The shape didn't jive with me.
I agree the Spades are beautifully made and a joy to use - as nice or nicer than many $400+ mods I've owned. The fit and finish are pretty amazing for the price point. I'm running ~0.22 singles on both of mine and it's just about right for me. My only reservations were the proprietary bottle system (which I absolutely love now) and the fiddly nature of full disassembly. I can get over the disassembly bit. The SQ Topside was a real PITA to fully disassemble as well.
I can't say I've owned my perfect mech squonk, but the current crop scratches most of the itches and satisfies just about all of my use cases. For now anyway, lol.
Do you set the coil higher than the coil rod guide? I had it higher and lots of spit back but good flavor - I went lower and no spit back but a little less flavor. Using a 3mm .19 alien n80 alien.

Try a 2.5mm .28(ish build) in the krma. Its a thing of beauty
What @Wb80 said is how I run mine, usually ohm out around .24 on a 2.5mm fused clapton right at the coil rod guide and get great flavor.
Aliens will traditionally give you more spit back, but you know that. I find that with a 3.0mm coil I don't get enough air movement in the deck, if that makes sense?

I don't know - it isn't spitting back like it was and the flavor is better. Not ready to call it a flavor banger yet. N90 SFC 2x28/38 2.5mm at a .23Ω
I think I'm just too attached to my Hadaly - anyone want to trade a KRMA Mission XV for a Hadaly lol

Keep playing with it. It took me a handful until i got the build rite on the krma. It is a gr8 lil flavor banger.
Yeah, I'll give it another shot when I get home tonight. I think it worked better lower.

That is lovely. I have a thing for white delrin mods and MMV but, oddly, have never owned a Palm.
I had a DNA75 18650 one.
Good mod.
I sold all my regulated then realised I had no ohm meter. So put in ASAP order for cheap regulated just to rebuild
Thanks! You can find them occasionally, so good in every single detail.
Damn.
*will deny any affinity of SQ mods, or Goon RDA, especially denies affinity for them hiting like a

How is that Squape RDA?
It's really good and I'm not saying that because I own it, if something is crap I'll say it.
Super easy to build on, doesn't matter if you're using round wire or claptons, flavor is amongst the best I've vaped from an rda. A lot of adjustment for preferred draw too. I'd recommend it.
I probably shouldn't speak to this not having owned one but I've heard they are pretty decent mods. I almost took one in partial trade last month. We had agreed on a $60 trade value before the deal fell apart for other reasons.
The bottles are proprietary, which is usually a turn off for me (Spade being the notable exception, lol). The white delrin version would be the one I'd want if I wanted one.
I had one
I guess that it depends on your reference point. It was a nice mid range DNA60 mod
Tall, squishy button. Otherwise nicer than most in its price range

Someone needs to tell me what the secret is to getting all this good vaping out of a B2K. I have one, and I don't see anything special about it. It's been packed away for over a year.
How do you build yours?
It depends on what I'm in the mood for actually. A normal build would be a 3-3.5mm I.d, 5 wrap fused clapton spaced. If you use anything under 3mm it doesn't perform, also need higher wattage, minimum 45-50 watts to get that set up to really shine.
I find myself building a lot lately with a 2-2.5mm id clapton and using the ultem chamber reducer at much lower wattage, the flavor is off the charts.
