Any peeps have an authentic Hobo v3.1 with a BF pin?

Anyone rocking an authentic Hobo v3.1 with the BF pin? If so, how does it squonk and drain? I finagled a PSO version in trade but likely will not keep it if it doesn't work well as a BF atty. Hobocustoms has the BF pins in stock and I figured I'd check in before buying one.

Well I have a clone.. It is close enough to the authentic to answer the question.. It squonks and drains fine. Based on the pics and info I have seen, IMO, the clone is better and worse in that department than the Original, because the clones tend to have longer BF screws and hold more juice in the well, almost 1ml. For me that means I only NEED to squonk once an hour sometimes. Some don't like the long screw, because it can lead to over squonking and leakage. Some cut the screws down to flush to aid drainage and reduce leakage.

Thanks for the input. Drainage is a big deal for me. I don't want an atty full of juice in my pocket.

Drainage on the hobo is NEVER 100%, based on the design of the pos post.... Many cut/file the long pin down to the deck/post. Some have even drilled the pin and modded the pos arm to get full drainage from the atty. Even though mine sticks up about 1/16 or more above the post deck, almost to the air holes, I ONLY get leakage, if I squonk till full and put the mod directly into my pocket or lay the mod on its side. Even then, when I use cotton, I get very little leakage. And couple drags will pull the level down enough so the cotton can hold the juice. Now when I use silica or stainless, without cotton, it's a leak monster, being that there is nothing there to hold the juice in the atty.

I have a 3.1 with the BF pin and it works good. The drainage isn't like a CH modded 510 but works just fine.

The atty is very nice (I like just about anything made of 316L SS).

I just got a clone off evilbay. Or, I'm pretty sure it's a clone.

Testing it on my Terminator clone, while waiting for my VF squonk to arrive from 3F. So far, I have had ZERO issues with it.

I especially like that I can use a pliers to slightly torque the deck to the mod
