I do have one but no plans to part with it as I picked up a black MCM Spike V2 a little while back and figured it could bounce back and forth between the Spike and the Vindicator.Got one?
You're right, that's a dead match for the SQK. Beautiful RDA. Wish I could unsee that.
Got this in this week. Not normally big into rdta's but this is pretty awesome on a squonk device. 
We need to work out a time share arrangement.
Where did you order from?
I tried to make the list in the group but was unsuccessful, and a friend got me hooked up with someone selling in the b/s/t of fb.
Love the doors!That Dot game is serious today...

Don't know if you're interested, but the NaRTA is a similar style. If you want an authentic, maybe you'd have an easier time getting a NaRTA. I don't really know, just a suggestion.
The CV clone is very nice, and FT still has it for about $9. I bought one from the Hardware thread here, and have really enjoyed it.
Some of those places are also listing a Haku Riviera clone for pre-order.
Thanks! I saw 2fdeal has the Haku Riveria clone for $19.95.
Got another Dvarw DL clone this time from 2fdeal took 7 days to arrive. FYI FT told me from now on none of the Dvarw clones will have logos.

wow 7 days, that's pretty good. I have never ordered from 2F. I will have to go have a look at them now that I know they are okay
Yeah I saw the pre-order on 3fvape for the Riviera clone. For cotton wicks the Riviera is working great. Not the pretiest but the Venna caps fit it so that is a big plus imo.
My second Armageddon Mech Squonker came in today!
They could almost call this thing a kit of putting one together, though, because I hade to gut it and put the components back in to get it working. The fire button was backwards, so if you pushed it, it just dropped into the compartment...the copper L bracket that makes the connection from the battery to the mechanism the button pushes was just loose inside the compartment, so I had to reassemble that
The bumps where the connections are made were in the wrong spots to hit the contact points, so I had to bend them to the correct placement, and then for shits and giggles, they put an unneeded O-Ring right where the contact point hits the bottom of the 510, so I had to remove it, and it’s a pretty tight fit working inside this small box, but after a while of tinkering I finally got it in working order. Also, I had to loosen the 510 on the RDA to make the pin stick out much further than others for it to make a connection.
They also sent me two standard 510 pins for backup for the Armageddon RDA it came with rather than one standard and one for squonking, so, I’m having to use one of my Drop RDA’s to use it for squonking.
You’re not drinking water are you? You realize that’s an ingredient in antifreeze!

It was my 1st time. I know @benley73 uses them quite a bit. If you want it to ship out quickly check out the 24 hour ship zone. And the 7 days is luck I think with the postal system.
That tip is boring...lolYesterday I got a set of black doors from @TallPines for my SQ.

It's naked now

Yeah I have learned no matter how much I like black mods I will never get another black clone. Shit never lasts. Are you having any hot button issues? I'm getting hot button and some small Sparks. I have broke it down and cleaned it but same issueWise choice on the stainless!

No issues like that with mine.
I did have an issue with it firing when I tightened the battery down.
There was a small black washer in the box that I figured out that it went in the top of the mod. Once I figured that out I glued it in place with some contact cement and haven't had an issue since.

I have took it apart and cleaned it up nicely. Even lightly sanded the fire bar with 2000 grit sandpaper and nothing still sparking

This is a clone?
Dude, I stuck it in avidemux and went through it frame by frame. At it's worst it's REALLY lighting up in there. You can see it in the gap I've outlined. When I go back and forth between that frame and the one behind it, you can see that whole seam flashing.
You probably knew this, but it's doing it when you're pressing and letting go. As it's making contact and breaking contact. (That's what an arc is after all) While you're holding the button it doesn't do it. I don't know. Almost seems like it's being caused by a property of the metal used or something.
Yeah may try to trade it in for a full copper or brass model
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk
If you are, don't take my word for the cause. I'm just guessing. All I know is, that is some serious arcing going on there in the space between the contacts when they're close enough to each other, but not touching.

Think I fixed the issue for now. Put a higher ohm build in and no sparking at 0.4 was running 0.19. put a 0.22 alien in and we are still good for now

Well, I guess that makes sense. Less voltage, less current and less power would mean not as much electricity overall to try to jump across that space. Were you finding any arc marks on the contacts when you took it apart before?
