Just re-quoting this post in hopes of getting an answer. Are either (especially the 2nd one) of these ok to use with a mech squonker?

EDIT: Actually, in one of the pics they show with the 2nd product, they are using it with a mech squonker, so I am assuming that one is ok (although they do have the battery pulled, which I would prefer to avoid as it defeats the convenience of a fill tool... could be they just did not have a battery handy for the picture), just not sure about the 1st. @rosesense

hard to tell without seeing the nozzle. Also I noticed there’s no battery in the mod in that picture!

I remember a recent discussion about which refill tools not to use because of/lack of metal cap. Can someone refresh my memory, please? This is the one I have:
$6.78 Coil Father Empty Dropper Bottles for E-Liquid - silicone + PC + POM / 30ml at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

I also have one of these:
$1.85 Authentic Coil Father Liquid Dispenser for Squonk Mod / Atomizer - plastic + aluminum / 30ml at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
The coil father 510 refill sounds like it had an insulator (from reading reviews), but also sounds like it's a hard plastic and there are questions on the cap longevity (likelihood of coming off?)

I'd recommend going with the vandy vape 510 refill bottles previously listed multiple times. They are a decently soft silicone, insulated tip, and I've used them long enough to be confident the cap is good (not about to randomly detach).

I was trying to be a cheapskate and not shell out the extra cash.... Although that price is for 2 of them, so there's that. But @rosesense would still want to know as she already owns both of those.

I've had a couple of hard plastic bottles - a PITA, I wouldn't be using 510 refill if that was all that's available.

Any questions on the cap are also a red flag. I have had the cap on a hard plastic refill bottle pop off when trying to refill - 30ml of eliquid dumped onto the mod and floor. A good refill bottle should have a captive top, reasonably soft silicone (too soft is also not great), insulated 510 tip.

On the left is one of the VV bottles, right is a 2-1/2 yo, used every day, lost vape bottle (no longer available).

There's a newer vv bottle, one with a hard plastic shell around most of the silicone squonk refill bottle, that I'm less enamored with. I find it too bulky, don't like the plastic parts, but that's personal preference.

I think overseas stuff will always get through to a degree.

I don't know. I can only tell you about my own experience with Europe (EU) when the PACT Act (identical to the proposed bill) went into effect. Shipping prices for Swedish snus tripled and quadrupled literally overnight and the good old days of ordering a couple of tins of this or that from Sweden were over. Very few people were willing to pay 30 bucks shipping for a couple of $2 tins and deal with the inconvenience of adult signature requirement...

No idea what China will do because they didn't sell snus, so they were never tested, but I have a feeling that they will have to comply, eventually. But buying from Europe, US and Canada will be a major PITA if this bill passes.
