Advken Gorge RD/SA currently using the included capillary 510 screw to use it as a squonking RSA (an RDA used for squonking).

Thunder Head Creations (THC) - Thunder Storm squonk mod
RD/SA
Hellvape's Dead Rabbit v3 RSA (Again using an included capillary screw to use the RDA for squonking.)
I've got drip tips off of a Damn Vape's Mongrel on each of these. The Gorge is capped with the Ultem cap. Got the SS cap around. (Not spotted it since moving.)
Both atomizers are using coils that read between 0.30 to 0.35 +/- 0.05 Ω. Their respective coils are each ~ 3 mm ID and likely 26 awg Kanthal, single strand wrapped 5 to 7 times round the mandrel. The coils are not spaced but squeezed together.
Using mechanical mods to vape I'm seeing ~ 28 W on a fresh charged 18650 battery to ~ 22 / 20 W the lowest on a discharged battery. I usually have a
sense of the battery being in need of recharge before it gets too low. The vapor production cues one in. I would say I average 24 W.
Hint/Advice: Try to leave about a 20% charge on a battery. This safe buffer, known at times as headspace, helps the recharging process. Also, recall to let batteries rest between recharging and use.
The two of these kits, been swapping out in my hands for at least a month now. I'm guessing the coil in the Gorge is at least six, maybe nine months old. With proper care, hygiene, one can have a coil last a good long while. Use care to note the state of the coil's material. Start to see pockmarks, divots in the metal, then it is a good idea to build a fresh coil to replace the old one. Entropy like change is eternal.
Juice
The Athena has some junk juice in it currently. Took juice out of a regulated Vandy Vape Pulse squonker and added it to some 'Berg menthol in the Athena's bottle.
In the Storm's bottle, I got just the 'Berg menthol.
Will eventually ween myself back to unflavored 18 mg/ml nicotine strength base juice. Thought some ~ 12 mg/ml odd flavors was a nice way to break up monotony. Been doing alright, but I miss my 18 mg/ml juice. Have to vape more of the lower strength. Not that juice costs are outrageous. One still likes being frugal.
