Ok Dizzy, I have my first Sqonk in pre-order so educate me about that pin.

I know what the pin is for, referring to slotted comment.

Please.
dizzy? that's a new one, fuzzy is the most common mis-spelling of my handle.

A flat head slotted squonk pin is likely to have juice squirt out the sides on to the top of the 510 connector then down in to your mod (and eff up the electronics, etc) unlike a hex/grub screw pin that would hold the juice sealed in between the bottle and rda.

So can that been be swapped, or is the RDA a pass for sqonking?

Sorry to ask. I can search if need be. I gotta look and see what my Dead Rabbit and clone have now.
I don't own a squonker yet, no idea if another 510 squonk pin with similar height but non-slotted head can be found and used in it's place but anything is possible.

If the pin is M2.5 or M3 you can pick up BF pins at Fat Daddy Vapes. You'll have to cut it to length but I use them and so far I haven't had a RDA where one of them didn't fit.

Yeah, it looks like a really well thought out RDA/RSA other than the slotted squonk pin.

I'm not a fan of the slotted pin either.
But I kinda like the elevated pin to allow some juice to stay in the well.
Seems to be a touchy subject with some squonkers but to me allows a couple more hits per squonk.

From the YT comments:

Hex head squonk pin would have been better than flat head design. I'm still getting one though.

The Vapor Chronicles
It is already HEX in the retail version.

    I've never had issues with a cross slotted pin.
    When we first started modding attys to bottom feed, we would drive out the press fit pin, and use a dremmel to put a groove in the side of the pin. (or cut the insulator)
    The 510 threading does the sealing. If there is any leaking, you can put a drip tip size o-ring over the addy 510.

    Where did you place your orders?
    Might risk ft for the capo and wait on the slow boat to save a little.
    Cloudy vapor or Vaporl

    Cloudy has free shipping on the Drop

    Vaporl for the Capo, but they say end of month. Cheapest price for Capo I found.
