Let us know, Trucker.... I wasn't going to get any more mods any time soon, but I've wasted $30 on things with a lot less potential :)

Yes I will definetly post my experience with this device. I love to drip but get sick of dripper in one hand and bottle in other

hand and no hand left to tip beer glass-hahahahahah

I just got a Kanger Turbo tank and a MELO sub ohm tank 4 days ago and so must slack off

for awhile after this Squonker gets here.

This came from KYBLUE---and I copied it just to let you know what he thought.

Here is a copy of my post in general regarding this mod/atty.

Just received it this morning.

Box Mod Pros
  1. It's rather compact. I can hide it entirely in the palm of my hand.
  2. Though almost all plastic it seems durable. Doesn't flex. Not even the door.
  3. 10ml bottle. Comes with an extra. Standard caps fit them. Standard bottle fits but is very tight. The bottom must be slightly malformed for it to fit.
  4. Locking fire button. Turn to stop in either direction to lock, to the middle to fire.
Box Mod Cons
  1. Shiny plastic appears cheap and is a fingerprint magnet.
  2. Firing button is very easy to push. not sure how it will hold up over time.
  3. Small gauge wire running from the negative battery post. May not hold up to extreme sub ohm builds. Hasn't been a problem @ .5Ω.
  4. Seems to be designed for left hand operation. Must be finger fired when holding the curved side to your palm. Thumb firing when the button is top mounted seems more natural to me. Side mounted opposite the atty seems better. Brain wave recognition seems optimal.o_O
Owl BF Atty Pros
  1. Bottom feed ready.
  2. T-post design enables one to tighten down one coil before working on the second.
  3. Ample airflow. Wide bore proprietary drip tip is not hampered by 510 size limitations. Could easily be drilled out for the extreme vaper.
Owl BF Atty Cons
  1. Raised tab airflow control design. The tabs require you to place the coils off center and they get in the way when aligning the coil with a rod inserted.
  2. Very large for a RBFA. About the same size as a Goblin RTA in 5ml configuration.
  3. Proprietary drip tip is ~25mm tall.
  4. Window which I assume was designed to allow for examining wick saturation without the need to remove the top cap is useless as it collects condensation.
  5. Not the conventional bottom feed design. There are no holes at the base of the center post, instead the juice will flow from the coil wire holes. This negates one of the advantages of bottom feeding in that it doesn't pull excess juice back down into the bottle. Thus you can oversquonk just as you can overdrip an RDA. A hole drilled through the base of the center post is an easy fix for this.
Overall
Worth the money. Especially if you want to dip your toe into the bottom feeder waters for the first time.

At $22 I am pleased with the purchase. I plan to devise a drip tip plug for a BF converted Derringer and see if this setup can be comfortably carried in the front pocket of my jeans.

I will drill the center post base of the atty but it is likely destined for the box of misfit vape gear. Then again there may be a top cap in the box that fits and cuts it down to size.

ENJOY

How did you guys get the $22 deal? I'm seeing the price as $25, even after clicking through the Vaping Cheap link
I think there was a group buy for $21.90, but the regular price is around $24. Great little mod, the atty is decent, just waiting on my chalice clone now :)

Thx @Lessifer :) I see that focalecig has the mod and the chalice iii, but the mod has some goofy "terminator" logo imprinted - the plain one is currently sold out :(
The terminator logo isn't as visible as it seems. Also, I think the original "plain" one is the shiny plastic. I have the terminator and it's a textured matte plastic, like a joyetech ego. Personally, I like it better than shiny plastic.

I got mine for 25.51 and 2.00 shipping from the US warehouse----it came high gloss white and has the Terminator-cross pistols six gun-

cowboy thing going on. I like my shiny finish and the logo-cross pistol thing is a lite grey almost vague faded color.

I love this thing-just wish I had more power and not relying on a 18650 mech style for the coil heating.

since you're limited to battery voltage you'll probably need to wrap lower ohm coils than you normally do.

Yeah, but the plastic button heats up when you do this. It just doesn't seem to be built to actually run any type of sub-ohm build on.

This one is a miss for me, but at least it was a cheap miss.

I have 2 coils running at .61 ohms 10 wraps on a 1.8 mm jewelers screwdriver---28 guage and vaping pretty good --button does get warm---thinking

about using a single coil and checking the performance---to see if I can get nice clouds/flavor

and reduce the heat in the button.
I didn't even build the atty it comes with, I used a reomizer single coil .8 ohm that I had running on my Reo Grande when I noticed the hot button on mine.

I am getting the feeling that I need more menthol and more nicotine to give me

a satisfying vape. I find myself vaping constantly---aka Chain Vaping---trying to

get some satisfaction from my juice.

If you have to chain vape the eliquid is not strong enough to satisfy you.

Chain vaping causes --warm buttons---warm batteries--sore fingers-hahahahahah

I don't really know--just an idea that came to me when my wife said

you have that thing in your hand every spare minute...
