I'd seen a couple other people mention issues with the fire button on the Drone. Enough to scratch it off my wishlist. Though honestly I mostly just liked the looks. I almost exclusively use my Coppervapes, even though I have a couple of regulated squonkers.
Isn't it the same fire button as on all lost vape mods? I never heard of the fire button breaking on any of the others, but I don't follow squonking enough to know any differences in construction. I have several of their mods, some coming up on close to a year, without a button failure. I'm really curious now if there's some problem I might face down the road.
I don't know about breaking specifically but I have seem reports on various Lost Vape mods related to fire button issues. The most frequent seems to be sticking.
If you look at the right side you can see the button mount. Thin plastic, about the thickness of a toofpick. On the left side you cannot see it. This is because its broken. When it breaks the button sticks under the front plate and creates a very bad situation. When mine stuck I brunt the piss out of my lips from a very hot RDA. I finished the day by popping second battery in, take a vape, remove battery, rinse and repeat.
I saw the spindly button bezel when I had my Drone apart. Mine had one stripped top plate screw from the factory causing seepage around the base of the 510. I ran a tap down through all three and put new SS cap screws in.
Should be an easy fix by making a pad out of dense foam to put between the button and the switch. A little double face tape and your good to go!

I picked up a buddy's old Dovpo GX-200 yesterday, it's a parallel box that runs like a regulated mod in ByPass mode. The sh*ty Dovpo 510 connection is directly over top of the first battery, so a Varitube BF 510 will be going in it's place and one those YFTK super soft's fit perfectly.
I still need to Dremel a hole in the side panel for some cheap squonking goodness!

The big thing is I gotta find my Dremel from the move and grind the face plate bigger so the button doesn't catch and stick again.
Because of how they go when they go I strongly don't reccomend anyone use these that isn't prepare for unexpected excitement.
Considering the price they charge for Lost Vape gear, the build quality should be above regular run of the mill stuff.
My favourite regulated squonk is the Hcigar Inbox... hard to go wrong with a DNA75 board.
But my favorite squonk of all is my mech, a Custom Classics in brass.

I have been looking for a while at the Inbox, I understand that Hcigar makes a good product, I am guessing that is your experience.
Logged in here for the first time in probably a year? Maybe even two years? And holy crap, still Modwhomping! Sometimes a nickname just sticks.
Also, Hello!!

Not the OP.
I have the Inbox and it's a great little mod, but I find it messy to fill due to the attached tube. When you pull the bottle off, the tube always has a little residual juice inside and out. You'll need a bit of paper towel handy to clean off the excess or catch any drips.
The magnets on the side panels are quite weak, you might have to bend the panels a little bit to get them to sit flush without any wobble.
Have you considered the YFTK SVA Squonker? It also has a DNA 75 and uses the super soft silicone bottles.

Hey Victor!
Been a long time!
Way too long! But, I am still happily modwhomping - 180 watts at my disposal, sitting neatly at 37.5W, temp. control still unused.
Anyone in our particular middling class of vapeology still running mechs?
Hcigar makes some decent mods. I have the VT40 (fantastic), VT200 (its nice) and the VT 75 which is garbage. The Inbox seems nice but I hate the DNA 75 chip. I'd rather they used the DNA 60.
Biggest trouble with the Inbox is single battery. If your a tootler its fine if not carry many batteries.
Biggest trouble with single batteries is they can only give power they have to give. This is clear with mechs but on a regulated its less clear. Batteries don't make magic power. Most of my batteries are pulled at about 3.7. A dual mod will alow the mod to make power more then twice as long. For example my Drone would last me my full shift and still be half charged. With a Wraith or Boxer its at least 3 batteries.
I am looking now, thank you.
I'm using mechs everyday lately. I only use them at home cause I can't stand weak battery vapes.
So away from home regulated only but at home mechs mostly.
My Drone is usable again. Dremel fixed the switch issue to make it usable at least. Feels good to have 2 batteries and 11 ml of joose again.
BTW I can't say enough good about the Goon for BF. Authentic isn't BF but 7 dollar clone is and its just a fantastic vape. Thinking the Peerless may in fact have a peer.
