Plus, it's just as easy to pop the top cap and fill, versus having to take your squonk bottle out to refill, anyway. In my opinion. (And I'm by no means trying to ruffle any feathers for squonk lovers! If you love it, I love it for you!)

You may be right Peta. I'll know this afternoon if the squonk approach is worth the effort/mess(?) when my Gbox gets delivered. Review to follow. Thanks for loving it for me Peta!! :thumbs:

Okay,
I have my Gaia on the Gbox. It works quite well, but not real easy to fill the tank, more like a straight squonker. You can still fill the tank the normal way as well. Kinda cool. I have not had much of a chance to play around with it, but it looks like it will do the job and then some.

Update on Gaia on the GBox - I have to say that the flavor has improved due to using the squonking set up on this thing. Richer, more saturated vapor. I also increased the wattage by 5-6 watts and it has done nothing but improve an already excellent vaping experience on my Gaia. I am very pleased.

No brainer at the discount price, particularly if you already own a squonker. Set the airflow, single press on the squonk bottle fills the Gaia tank, works well with the Therion BF no issues, no messy re-fills, very good flavor. Even if you missed the discount price I would still recommend it.

Hi DP glad you finally got your latest toy,I think you might be having an issue filling due in part that I noticed the g box uses those dark in color plastic bottles which are more rigid to press, am looking into getting a sqonking mod but I want one that uses the clear see thru softer bottles,I have certain unicorn bottles that are made of a real thick plastic which I hate and others that are made of a softer plastic that are much easier to squeeze and that's what I think you should use if you can find one that fits you're g box;-)

So Franck, I have really been having great success with the bottle that is in it. The way the mod has a large open cutout area to the bottle means you can use your full index finger to squeeze the bottle (like pulling a trigger) and the bottle loosens/softens up over a few days. I'm having no problems getting my wick juiced up using the Gbox. I thought the rigid bottle would be a pain, but it works quite well for me. Also, I can see the juice pretty easy, but yeah, a lighter color would make that easier to see the juice level. But I do kind of like the way the darker bottle blends in with the body of the mod. Anyway, I'm really glad I got the Gbox...it is working very well with the Gaia! My black Gaia is due next week.

Hey bud good to hear from you,oh ok cool then I must of misread I thought you said you were having problems filling up using the sqonking mod;-) no I didn't misread just went back and reread your previous post lol,in any case am glad it's all working out great for you,am waiting it out as I think mike vapes hinted that the boxer mods are going to be coming out with a dual 18650 sqonker mod soon,I want a boxer badly, they are on the pricey side at $250-300 but they sure look good and if am going to spring for one it might as well be a sqonker right?

Franck, on the Gaia, the tank does not fill with the squonker pin in it...it squonks the deck perfectly, but I had kind of hoped to fill the tank from the squonk bottle as well. What works great is you can still fill the tank like normal on the Gaia and then get another 6 ml by squonking the deck as well.

Those Boxer mods look really nice! I've always wanted one. Have spent lots of time on their website just looking at them and wanting one. I will see if their squonker version looks promising. I'm sure it will since all the other versions they have look top notch.

Doesn't the Gaia come with a screw to plug the top fill hole when squonking? That way the juice fills the tank instead of going straight through to the deck.

@MMW, you'll be happy to know I ordered a Gaia tonight for my Gbox S100.

Good hearing from you bud,well that blows that it doesn't fill up when sqonking,I don't understand why it wouldn't,are you putting that screw in the fill port? I tilt mine when filling now and I've had no more issues,if you cap off that fill hole with the little screw they give you it should fill the tank up when you sqonk instead of just soaking up your wicks,if you try it please let me know if it still does not fill cause then there's no need for me to get a sqonk mod.

I didn't notice a screw...duh! Although I kind of like the way it works doing a direct to the deck squonk. But I will try it with the screw in the deck and see how that works out too. Thanks for the info!

Thanks for the reminder btsmokincat! I was actually going to see if I had a screw laying around that would do that...should have just looked in the Gaia extras bag!
