Quasi hybrids always seemed too much like work for me to bother with, having to keep an eye on tanks to make sure the positive extends out far enough for safe use.

I'm a techie by trade, love my mech squonkers (super easy to maintain - copper plate for new contacts and spare modmaker squonk 510s whenever those go bad). For tubes I have real mechs but prefer the side firing on the Ehpro Armor Prime, which is a protected direct voltage mod rather than a true mech.

I went full old school, bottom firing tube mechs (clones) for my mech stash. Then I found a bunch of generic 12W kicks that I can use in them depending on the battery I use. I couldn't help it, the whole stash was too cheap to not buy. :D

I'll probably pif my smok magneto 2 and TW Odyssey 18650M mechs. They both work really well, but I like the side fire button on the Ehpro so much more (and I'd still have my original Lernaia Hydra - just beautifully machined, picked it up on a Clearance several years ago).

I should check in with Igor at brosciencevapes, add a few more modmaker parts to my long term spares. Thankfully Skullkandy out of PA, where I get my Alchemist mech squonkers, also uses modmaker parts. (Their prices are quite reasonable, given the modmaker innards).

Somewhere out there
I bought one! Technically, I still have it. But it is inside my Hurricane Michael destroyed home and lord knows if it has survived. Too bad, huh?
When I bought my first Provari, my shopping cart totaled over $1,000. I only bought one but I bought every single accessory for it, and duplicates of most, LOL.
I also have/had the vapemate bottle thingie you see in the following video (not my video).
Some day I'd like to get my Provape stuff refurbished. Is that still available?

So sorry you lost it in a hurricane!

I had an Armor Prime. Nice little mod but after a few months it started autofiring and I couldn't fix it. I like side buttons. Got started on Silver Bullets because they had side buttons.

My real "apocalypse" mods are the true mech squonkers. Bent metal contacts and a decent 510 connector, readily replaceable. I've got my Alchemists and have rebuilt several cheapie mech squonkers with good parts.

A squonker works just fine with a standard tank on it, too, of course [emoji106]

Thanks! I've been waiting for my RS shipment.

Maybe it was just My Bad Luck, but I never got an Order from Nicotine River that came very quickly. And I Imagine their Label Printer has been running 24-7 for about the Last 3 Weeks.

So I'm sure things are going to be a Little Slower getting to you.

    Just as long as I get it. They aren't taking any more orders after tomorrow, so they should be catching up soon. It's been 8 days since I've ordered.

    Oh I'm sure you will get it. I Can't recall anyone here on the ECF getting their order Cancelled.

    And I know that once the Omnibus Bill was sighed, that people like Nicotine River started getting prepared for the Crunch that they saw coming.

    Terrible mod. You had to tilt to feed juice. You should probably at least try a more recent squonker

    Love the VMods! I have a mini and a few standard versions too, one NIB from a buy one get one clearance, if that is the squoker you were referencing as terrible. Never had to tilt to feed the eliquid, squoked beautifully, never leaked or failed me in any way and all those color sleeves to chose from, awesome! I kinda grew beyond using caros but have hundreds of them in my stash. I also own a few REOs with bf-rda(s) and honestly I would gladly use them both. I would probably bust out the Vmods first. :)

    The Silver Bullet I had seemed to consume insulators. I bought it used and after a couple months a battery shorted out, collapsing the spring. I replaced the spring and promptly fried it too. I sent it to Chad at Altsmoke and he rebuilt it, all for a five dollar bill rolled up in the mod. It shorted again within a month and I put it away. That was supposed to be my big upgrade from the Roughstack and is one of the few bad luck devices I've had. I really liked that button.
