Isn't the Wismec Luxotic BF Squonk mod the one that people on the stocking up thread were having problems with not firing after very little use?
No... just the opposite. The problem is that inside the electronic box there is a pin in the side of the 510 connector that leaks. The liquid gets on the circuit board and under the switch which causes it to start auto firing. You need to remove the pin and use some loctite on it and put it back. Make sure you have a tank on it when you are removing the pin or you may have trouble putting the pin back in.

The newer fixed version of this has a weld over the pin... but at that price, I am guessing it is the older version that needs the fix.

Has anyone ordered from 3A Vape? I placed an order Thursday, the money came out of my account Friday, and nothing has happened since.
I ordered from them recently (2 armour mods), took about a week before I got a tracking number and for the past several days it has said "USPS Currently Awaiting Package". But that does not mean much, it could be in transit using some odd shipper from China and just means it has not hit the US yet (I have had that happen a few times over the past 6 months, all of a sudden it shows up somewhere like NYC. lol).

Yeah, even with Fasttech, it seems when it leaves China it goes off grid until it lands in the states. I did get a reply to my query at 3A Vape saying the package has been packed and now been shipped.

Now I can try to employ my usual China order policy...forget it 'til you get it. (I always say that but never manage to actually do it)

The BF is the one that has a major leaking issue in a good portion of their product. That could probably cause the firing issue fortunately it is a fairly easy fix to make as long as you don't have a super janky pin like mine was but honestly it was completely worth the three hours it took me to fix it. It's one of my favorite unregulated mods and if you just fix the leaking issue I think you'll be fine. That being said I would never pay full price for one of them because paying full price for a product that I have to modify in order to make it work properly is out of the question in my book no matter how much I love the little guy . :) every time it comes up on sale it's either $12 shipping or sold out by the time I get to it. So Ive kind of given up on getting another one.

I had thought about trying the lucid before. For that price I may as well grab a couple.

That is an interesting mod for the price. Judging from the pics and since the Lumi tank is supposedly only 24mm, looks like the mod might be able to fit a 25mm tank without overhang or hitting the battery cap. Another 0.5mm on the front and back might not be a problem.

But hard to say for sure.

Hard to believe this thread has dropped to the 2nd page. Time for a bump.

3A vape has some low prices on some stuff that are supposedly actually in stock...


P.s: All special sale products are with plenty stock!

I bought one of those Lucid kits when they were $12.99. It just arrived today. It's very light weight. It feels top heavy with a KF 2019 lite on top.

Too soon for an opinion on performance.

I only have 22mm toppers, but it looks like a 24 would clear the battery cap.

Edit: forgot all about the included atty. If that's 24, then maybe a 25 will fit.

First off, I'll say I've never bought anything from this company, so I can't personally vouch for them. But, they have some bargain prices and a large selection.

Be sure to check the 'USA Blowouts' tab. I saw some coupon codes listed somewhere on their site too, but I lost track of them, heh.

Thanks for that info. Well, I guess at least it is a lead to some good deals. There are some incredible prices presented.

Never got the Pico or these new Lucid mods

Hands up who would rather it was 8-10 mm higher and that the top was flat and it was overall a proper box shape..

This guy for one...the battery turret sets my OCD off
Pico75's and 25's are my favourite mods.
