25.00 Smokless owl Squonker

[Underwhelmed]

I've been thinking about it, and I think I'm gonna tear mine apart and see if I can improve on the design.

Plus I remembered I had some FatDaddy bottom feed 510 connectors and I'm pretty sure I can make an aluminum top plate to replace the stock one. We have plenty of aluminum stock at work and everything I need to make it, tool wise. The stock one looks like chromed plastic to me.

Thinking of trying to go with brass all-thread instead of just replacing the ground wire, ala Peko style.

I'll just have to see once I pop the top off, at $25 it's definately worth trying some stuff out.

I really like the size, the bottle volume and fact that it comes with an atty, just a few quirks to work out.

I like the way it feels in my hand better than the Peko, and it's more stable just sitting on a table. The Peko is sort of top heavy.

I like my Reo Grand, even though I bought it well used. I recently sent it in for a new style 510 and to be cut down to a low profile. I had stripped the paint off by hand with scotchbrite before I sent it in and Rob was nice enough to give it a tumbled raw finish, all the internal parts, and it looks like he ran it through the CNC and removed all the nicks it had, all at no cost and without me even asking him to do anything other than cut it down and replace the 510 with the new adjustable one.

The only problem with all of that is now I'm nervous about taking it out of the house, it looks so good I don't want to nick it or scuff it up.

Really good post on FT for modding the squonking and in the video he shows how to adjust the battery so it fires and inserts good.. Once again nice mod esp for the price..
If this is the same as the smokeless owl......: FastTech Forums

Ok, so I have a gripe, though it's probably not a negative for some. This bottle is huge! I've been a dripper for so long, I'm used to changing through 4-7 flavors a day. This thing is so convenient, and the bottle is so big, I've been vaping the same flavor for about two days now and it's wearing my tongue out. I know it's any easy fix to change out the bottles to something else. Actually, I haven't modified the center post on this, so I can just drip in from the top if I want a different flavor for a few puffs.

I am thinking that we mite be able to use the same cover with the tubing hole that came with our Smokless bf--and just find

different soft sqeeze bottles to be able to change flavors.

I know what you mean as I have been puffing the same fluid for two days now myself and getting sick of the same flavor.

 

[Lessifer]

Most of my bottles are 15ml or higher, and while a 15ml bottle will fit in the space, it won't screw into the cap. I've been thinking about cutting the dropper tip on a 15ml bottle and threading the tube through that. If I do I'll post pics of how it turns out.

I have a few 10ml bottles, but they're a bit hard to squeeze, they're the stiffer plastic.

Now if we can find a good video of how to fix the firing button we will have it made--hahahahah

I am keeping in mind that 29.00 dollar REOS and will wait until they have different colors as I want another "White" one.

Maybe some reviews on the REOS button so as not to be in the same boat as the Owl.

 

[Lessifer]

I've been pressing the button more on the side than the top and haven't had a misfire since. I also just moved the bottom "spring/contact" out a little like in that guys video, seemed to make battery installation even easier.

 

[thetrucker]

I went to Harbor Freight and bought a 10.00 dremmel tool and I will try to drill and shape a tube hole for another cap and maybe

It will work and then change flavors now and then.

 

[thetrucker]

yes I just tried the firing button pressing from the side and it seems to work a lot better--

 

[thetrucker]

Your dropper tip idea is a good one I will keep it in mind to try.

 

[thetrucker]

Well I will have to continue my vaping quest later as I have to start thinking about going to bed--as I have 04:00 am on my watch

 

[Lessifer]

night trucker, have a great weekend!

Krylon Fusion paint, that stuff bonds to plastic really well.

For about $5 you can make your Owl any color you want.

I just done some contact cleaning and scraping on the Smokless Owl Button.

I took my wifes Emory board finger nail file thingy and depressed the firing button and held it depressed and rubbed it

across the firing pin and then took a small jewlers screwdriver and scratched it back and forth across the end of the pin and

did the same thing to botton ground pin.

I noticed some black color on the end of the firing pin before I started this cleaning process.

I gently took the screw driver and scratched back and forth across the positive and negative end of the battery just to

take any small film or oxidation from the ends just to make a better connection.

It seems to fire now just like it should with no MISFIRES-no heavy pressing needed--mod is now perfect !

I built 2 coils out of 28 guage---5 wraps----2.0 mm mandrel----.36 ohms---and located them in front of the center post -rite in front of the holes

where the juice comes out.

Having great luck with this set up---firing button seems to work with out standing on it.

Ideal set up for me lots of vapor and flavor.

I have one on the way it should be here Saturday or Monday. I'm looking forward to trying a bottom feed setup. Thanks for the tips on this the first thing I'll do is clean the contacts on the box, then on the addy drill a hole in the pos post just above the deck.

I'm waiting on my owl and chalice from Focalecig. My first order from them, probably my last too. I can't wait to get it.

 

[thetrucker]

Here is a pic of my Smokless Owl/PlumeVeil modded to BF- combo in it's grandieur----hahahahahahah

Working nicely...

I received my RDAs from Angelcigs last week.

The Freakshow mini clone is a bit disappointing. It only has two airflow slots rather than three like the Wotofo so I guess dual coils is the only option. Otherwise it looks great.

The Hobo clone with the bottom feeder pin is fantastic! I think it may be better than the authentic. Rip Trippers didn't have much good to say about it.

Different people have different views on the same piece of equipment---one RDA is one mans Favorite/Treasure-----and

the same RDA is another mans Junk/nitemare-----------------------Always was amazed by this concept.

I liked the Smokless Owl atomizer and nice big drip tip and a lot of people hated it----hahahahahah
