That's really strange. Mine doesn't go past the bottom.

Just picked one of these babies today and I have to say it is really nice. It's my first squonker and the fact that it's regulated is a bonus for me. Only thing I'm not happy about is the threading on the battery cap. It could definitely be smoother. But I'm sure after a little while it will break in.

I'm also not too crazy about the coils. The concept is amazing and the convenience is great, but I am probably going to end up replacing the coils with my own wire and cotton. The posts are tiny so I probably can't do parallel or thick gauge wire.

One question... Is this mod compatible with other bf attys? It says it isn't but it is probably means non bf ones only.
Run the threads of the battery cap around a small bar of soap. Now, mine is smooth...but then...I am still cranky!

Wow that's high. Wondering if you used an inadequate battery for a too low build if the protection would kick in...
I don't see how it could know what discharge rate the battery is rated for. Hang on....................................(Don't try this at home kids) Just put a 3 year old ICR18650-26F (5.2A max discharge) in with a .5 ohm coil and it fired................................

Protection but not limited at 60 watts, much higher. I don't have a battery I wish to torture to find out where that is but others have indicated around 100 Watts or higher before it shuts down.
Did they measure voltage at the atty? 'Cause I wonder if voltage drop across the MOSFET and in the rather thin wiring doesn't end up being a limiting factor to the actual amount of power available at the atty.

Note: This is a purely academic question as far as I'm concerned; my typical builds are 0.7 (single) and 0.5 (dual).

Did the battery heat up? And yours?
I would never push any of my batteries that hard. I'm actually surprised as small as the wires are inside that they didn't melt. Perhaps the insulation did but PB doesn't know it.

Does anyone know of any 22 mm chuffcaps that might fit the atty?
Preferaply ones with an option for single airhole.
I have 4 different chuff caps and none of them fit, none have air flow control either. The only one I could somewhat see fitting is my kupcake cap since it comes with 15 different size o-rings and I think the biggest size would fit, not very snug but it might.

I shortened the bottom of the atty tube right to the bottom of the "g" on the Kangertech logo. It lowers the air slot down where it belongs- in front of the wicks instead of way above them. It works MUCH better this way. I took off maybe .160" of metal. {lathe} -You make this work, you also must eliminate the lip inside to allow it to slide down and contact the mod body. Looks better, too. Gotta make a top cap now to take a "Derringer" sized driptip. :)

Got home, Dripbox waiting.
Didn't feel like messing with the stock atty tonight, so I threw on a wet and ready BF Sapor, built with 0.4 SS duals.
Bottle system seems pretty functional - though first time, the plunger didn't follow the bottle down, but that self-corrected. Vape is pretty kickin - and I like that you can click to off.
The only things so far I don't love:
- Bottom bottle flap. It snaps on OK, but remains a little "clicky"
- For me, with a Sony in there, battery cover goes flat, but I had to give it "one more twist" beyond what I considered a good connection, otherwise it extended just a hair - enough so it had a slight wobble standing up. So I'm squeezing my battery to get a flat bottom...

I'll post again after trying the atty.
I'm pretty sure I'll have to rebuild it immediately - I've never enjoyed a vape under 0.4 ohms...
But heck - my preferred vape is a mech squonker - it's nice to have a $30 "beater" if nothing else!

Now I'm pretty excited to pick up such a nice, functioning, and affordable squonk box. It will be my first!! Can't wait

So what would be a good atty to go with this, don't really like the one it comes with due to odd airflow and way too big barrel not to mention dual airflow.
Tried to cut a smaller airhole to the topcap but the damn thing I was trying to cut just snapped into pieces, don't know what the topcap is made of.
So any under 30$ suggestion would be appriciated.
