What do you have besides the Pulse? Imo, the best squonker is the Aegis. That cheap Luxotic isn't bad and the Stentorian is ok. You have Luna's, right?

Nothing wrong with the Pulse regulated squonkers. Some have reported leaks into the internals that fry the mod. Also, the temp control is non functional to spotty. If you enjoy temp control, the Pulse is not a good choice. I have stockpiled some Pulse squonkers at these low prices they are still great bargains.

The Pico Squeeze 2 is better quality mod in my opinion with very good temp control.

No, but adding it to my options. ;) What do you think about this? rosesense mentioned Stentorian, this only 9.99 and I have a $6.00 gift credit, so $3.99 lol Wotofo Stentorian Ram Resin Squonk Mod


For the price they are not a bad deal for an emergency backup device. If you drop one, they can break into pieces like glass. This has happened to dozens of angry Stentorian owners already. I would rather spend a few dollars more and get a Hugo Squeezer personally.

I would agree if the squeezer I bought didn't need major surgery to make it fire reliably. I am going to have to take it apart and sand down the switch contact which is not something I am looking forward to doing at all with my arthritis. It was great for the day it ran well

If its a choice between the 2 skip the squeezer. I am having to do some surgery on mine to keep it firing properly. It worked great for one day and stopped firing. Seems from the googling I have done on the issue that I am going to have to sand down the contacts for it to work consistently.

For an honest to god Mech see if you can find an Athena. I am REALLY enjoying that one. Now it DID start firing erratically for me but some Deoxit gold on the firing contact and battery contacts fixed it right up and it has been performing flawlessly since I did that. By firing erratically I mean I just wouldn't fire with every button press not that it fired on its own. The mod also has an excellent locking system to prevent it from firing in a pocket or purse.

The luna I believe is protected but not regulated. Mine has not come in yet. My concern with it really is I am not sure how proprietary the bottles are. Actual Luna replacement bottles are a bit pricey but I picked up a few to be certain I had them.


I am sorry that you are having trouble with the Squeezer, they are quite literally thousands of positive reviews for this device, but I suppose a lemon can slip through. If you are having firing problems, do not sand the contacts. Try placing a small piece of rubber under the negative contact strip for support of the battery. I use these and they work great.

Worth a try ty. Maybe it is the battery contacts. My googling led me to believe it is arcing at the switch contact

Well - How does 80* + 81% Humidity over night sound and then tomorrow is supposed to hit a record of 89* during the day . . . :facepalm:

BTW: Halloween gathering earlier tonight in the GAY Neighborhood Wilton Manors (the city with a city) . . . AND - After all the little children went home - there were a lot of half naked adults . . . :rolleyes:

Looking around to supplement nic supply. I have some Nude Armor, and some Chemnovatic. I'd like to diversify, in case some don't have the same survival rate as others.

So looking for recommendations for other suppliers. Here's some shopping info I threw together today - anyone have recommendations of other suppliers to consider? Mfg. if available, is in parenthesis. I generally try to stick with those that give info like mfg., msds, country of origin, documentation, etc., but it might not be a must if it's well regarded around here.

If I don't see anything outstanding, I'll likely buy more Chemnovatic from River, since I've been happy with their stuff, and they are one of the largest nic mfgs. with lots of data (and they're low cost!).

Your $82.99 price shown for 1L at Heartland Vapes, isn't what most of us buy there. We buy the 100mg/mL house nic by the L for $44.99/Liter.

I may have poor tastebuds, but I have some Heartland (the cheap $45 a litre stuff). I tried a little MFS before they went sky high on their prices, but found it peppery (honestly I usually can’t taste that so I have to assume it’s pretty strong). Is River , nicotine river? I like theirs equally

It is definitely arcing at where the neg contact is pushed by the button into the 510 pin assembly. So after some fiddling I took out the entire negative bar and ever so slightly bent the contact point where it touches the 510 pin assembly inward. I had noticed that contact on the 510 pin is ever so slightly cone shaped rather than cylindrical. No more arcing and the dang thing is firing again. We will see how long it holds up.

This thing is starting to give me flashbacks to the frankenskull clone I have that is a permanent battle to get to fire.

    Made it home safe from the concert. Truth be told I only went for about an hour, but it all worked out perfectly. I caught the main act (Wu-Tang Clan) right after they came on and they performed all of their best work first. Saw a bunch of people leaving before they even went to encore and knowing I caught the best part I went with them. Got home in no time nice safe drive and in time for about my normal bed time.

    Here's a pic from the show I thought was pretty cool. Now that no one has lighters RZA asked the crowd to turn their cell phone flashlights on.

    *edit* I hit my Juul in peace the whole concert and being solo got a great spot right off the side of the main stage.

    Are you talking pure 100% nic? Or 100 mil bottle of nic. Pure nic is toxic is I thought.
    100mg not ml, you do not vape it at that concentration though. You add pg/vg to it. Most buy it in 1 liter (1000ml) bottles. If you vape 10mg a 100mg liter bottle will make 10 liters of liquid. I vape 18-20mg so I only get about 5 liters.

    Well - I actually was very lucky to get and have 4 of the originals, Stainless Steel ones - before they sold to the general public . . . They were gotten by an ECF Member and sold via a Co-Op years ago . . . Here is 2 of them and all of them are still working - just a waiting in the "stash" to be used again when NEEDED . . . Just Sayin' . . . ;)

    Those look more heavy duty than mine... Mine seem like cheap thin metal.
