I know, I know!
Sorry Peter!

I was just curious, as I have seen so many on sale, and some from dibbers.

The price doesnt seem reasonable when you can can a custom work of art here...

Curiosity killed the cat :)....
Like you're the first one EVER to go off topic on another mod, jeesh guys, leave her alone!

I think at least part of the reason they command the price they do is because regulated squonkers are so rare.

Regulation has always involved a set of trade-offs, but I don't wanna turn this into a regulated vs. not sub-thread by getting into the details. Some people strongly prefer one or the other. I use some of both.

I just had my first (not self induced) dna failure in in of my GDNA mods. Since I built the mod and have spare DNAs, I can certainly fix it, but with another Pinch coming soon, I'm not sure I'm gonna bother.

Enjoy my Sunbox's along with a host of other equipment, but at the same time, one can not beat the reliability of a mech. To put things in perspective, ( in regards to myself) currently have 4 SB's and Sumpin' #21 with #239 to hit as soon as Mr. Bee finishes her up. If the dibi's where more available ( or if I would of had my sh it together from the start) I would have 10. There's just sumpin' about vape gear that is produced with passion and is practically hand made.

With that being said, luck was at my side yesterday when I was able to give myself an early Christmas present yesterday pre Lil' Pinch as I scored this dibi stepchild to add to the stable...:)

I vowed not to weigh in on this, as I feel it's the wrong place. But anyone looking at regulated devices not made in US, do yourself a favor and look under the hood. I have had the displeasure of trying to rebuild a couple of these devices and will say they may look pretty on the outside, they look like pure $heet on the inside. Just unreal anyone with a conscious would sell such low quality wiring work. Guess I set a high standard with my own work, but these couldn't even compete with my reject work.

Could not agree with you more D, currently have a certain reasonably priced Italian squonker that I've been threatening to re-wire and install a decent 510 for a friend of mine. They wired the damn thing using copper tape! :facepalm:

Cool coffin series dripper Peter.
Squonking tank?
I love inlays, and that one has such great contrast the olive wood just peaks curiosity.

I get the end of the day chuck a cloud or two thing, I use a triple parallel squonker just for those occasions. It can be just the thing for fending off boredom.
