    20700 aluminum mech squonk

    Hmmm. I just checked and it worked again for me. Maybe clear your cookies?

    20700 aluminum mech squonk

    I'm looking at ordering the Pulse too. FT has a pre-order price of $27 shipped with MAP code.

    This is the Squonk Porn thread, so I won't sing the praises of these two BF RDTAs here. Really, really want to though. See link below. Squonk Attys: Recent, New, and Coming | Page 5 | Vaping Blips

    Frankenskull clone

    Waiting for mine too. We'll see how good it is--or can be with a little work. Never know until you get it.

    Taking a break and experimenting with the look of two-layer mod buttons: clear polycarbonate outside, wood inside.

    Frankenskull clone

    I hate that, putting time into a mod and then deciding it sucks. But then we modders aren't being paid, so win some, lose some. You saved the hardware though, didn't you?

    Yup, contact points and mediocre plating. Of course Deoxit would really help there, after you've cleaned it up. I'm sure though whatever is off in the mechanism can be easily tuned. A badly machined wood body couldn't. The body is worth the price of entry IMO.

    The stock wire is of adequate gauge, so there's no way you could tell the difference based on the wire alone. It would have to be very thin to hold back the current noticeably, even measurably. Weak hitting is almost always caused by incomplete contact at contact points.

    Quite nicely made IMO, and paduak is good hardwood for a mod. :)

    Right, the contact strip is insulated, and positive down for the battery.

    Nice Half. :)

    Removed the black anodizing. Better IMO.

    The black just wasn't doing it for me. There, that's better.

    Squonk Porn!

    FWIW, I have a Cthulhu Ceto and love it. I'm sure a burnt hit would be awful, but I've never had one. That's one of the major upsides of the big volume of wick. It holds so much juice in reserve that you get plenty of subtle warning of the wick drying. In that respect it performs more like a BF...

    Semi-woody Icarus.

    No, not really anything wrong with it, just overrated. It's a high mAh 24A continuous battery (by Mooch standards). There are very few 21700s shipping ATM, so I've been buying 20700s for the time being. It doesn't really matter much though. Most mods are/will be designed to accommodate both...

    The high point of this cheapo Icarus clone is several very nice pieces of anodized aluminum. Unfortunately, those nice pieces fit too loosely, and with otherwise sub-par components, the mod simply didn't work well. Rather than scrap it, I used the frame and made new doors and button, swapped in...
