I'd like to try the vinegar and salt method to put a little patina on this brass Kraken. I was wondering if any of you have tried either the vinegar or ammonia to force a patina?

I've thought about trying it on my stingray clone, but I think there's a layer of clear coat that I'd have to remove.
The only problem I have has been recently it's been 100 degrees here, more like 108 with the heat index. And who knows how hot in my car even if it's only for 30 minutes or so the high PG juice that I ADV squonks like crazy. I've been carrying a roll of paper towels cause I'm already a notorious over squonker and when the juice flows like tap water I'm even worse about it.
And so it begins....

Maybe, maybe not. But it is worth looking into and during the next two week while I am at work. Lots of things I need to find out, like how hard would it be to convert a box mod I already have like the Telsa invader II into a squonk box and what all needs to be done to convert an RDA to be used on a squonk box.
The box will be tricky but the rda's I have heard people have done it with a dremmel. Just need a hole through the 510 to the center pin and some drain holes on each side.
I seen ebay had a Velocity that was already set up for squonking. Bad news it comes from Hong Kong and earliest delivery date would be Aug 14th to September.
What yall think of this as an entry level squonk kit

That is what i was thinking. A squonk box with an RDA already coiled, just add battery and juice, why not. Actually cheaper than the 2 bottles of Mothers Milk I picked up yesterday.

I hear ya. I find it's worse with high VG juice because I get used to squonking harder/longer and when it thins there's a bigger change to get used to. OTOH, once I got it through this thick skull that the juice is simply thinner when it's warm and remembered to remember that
, I have for the most part got over it. One thing I do sometimes when I squonk is look at an air hole. You can see the juice there before it leaks out and stop.
RDA's are easy specially if you have a small drill press. I've done a few of them. You'll find a bunch of examples of how people have done it in the BF area on ECF and all over the net.
For mod conversion check out the bottom fed 510 connectors and parts at FatDaddy's. He's got various models and sizes. After that, it just depends on the layout of the mod.
I did a good bit of googling and found some basic info on squonking but nothing to say how to mod an RDA or where to get parts to build your own squonk box. Only really benificial info was linked to ECF. Everything else I seen is attempts to sell premade boxs or links to where they sell them.
The one thing I am curious on the Ebay setup that I linked (and I did order one) was what is to prevent the juice from leaking between the box and the RDA. I didnt see any kind of seal where they mate up. (picture that I posted)
The Terminator/Smokeless Owl has been reviewed a few times. There's a thread on ECF about it and here's one of the reviews in it. I bought a Vmod as my intro to BF'ers. If it were now, I think I would buy one of these
There has to an O-ring somewhere to make a juice seal. I think in this one it's the black ring around the mod's 510 positive pin at the bottom of the 510 screw threads. Then again I don't have one, so I also could be totally wrong
The Smokeless Owl/Terminator has had good reviews. If anything, people aren't as thrilled about the atty. There are bf attys you can buy, including some cheap ones at FT, FC, Angelcigs, etc. Rob's prices at reosmods aren't bad either (half the price or less than buying authentic bf attys).
I'm thinking of picking up a second bf myself. Can't really afford a second Reo right now, but would love a second squonker.
