Where can I get replacement 7ml squeeze bottles?
My son has managed to ruin both bottles in less than a month, he's hard on everything.
Thanks

I wish I had Alexander Mundy around..I don't have the expertise or the tools to fix this damn Dripbox -and it's autofiring like crazy. Loosened up the inner battery ring and that seems to have worked, but I'm gonna start pulling the battery out of it when I go to bed or leave it at home.

I don't need to tell you that a mod that Auto-Fires is Unsafe. And I would Strongly Advise that you do Not Use it until the issue is Fully Resolved.
Do you think it is the Power Button that is getting Physically Stuck? Does the Power Button light turn on when it Auto-Fires? Or do you think it is something else like the Wiring?
Maybe you know someone (doesn't have to be a Vaper) who is Handy with Tools that could take a look at it?
Backing the inner battery button didn't work for long. It's right back to firing all by itself...I don't think it's just the power button being stuck or the wiring, Zoid. It's really difficult to turn on and off, and the power button is on while it's auto-firing.
I pulled the battery out of it and put it aside for the moment. IMHO (which is worth about five cents) I think, maybe, somehow e-juice got into the wiring. Today was the first time I tried to use it since it started auto-firing two days ago. I'd hoped that letting the mod dry out for a couple of days would help, but it's still bad.
I used water in the squonk bottle to rinse out the feeder tube between flavors. Maybe that was it - I tried to be really careful about not letting water get into the mod while I was squonking out the tube into the sink, but maybe I failed. Maybe. I was pretty darn careful! It was water in the bottle, water being shot out of the top with the RDA off. How could water get in?
Just disappointed. I've got another Dripbox that's about three weeks older than the one that's auto-firing, and that one is fine.
If could be that some e-Liquid has gotten into the Button Actuator.
The Actuator is part of the Circuit Board. It is what the Button pushes onto to make the Board Fire. Or on a VV/VW Board, change the Wattage.
Here is a generic picture of a VV/VW Board.
Those 3 Brownish Domes in the 3 White Cubes are the Actuators. Under the Bownish Domes is a Very Tiny Spring. And it is the Spring pushes the Button back out when you release the Button.
There could be Gummy e-Liquid on/in the Actuator causing it to not Spring Back.
Does the Power Button feel Crisp and have a Click to it? Or is the Button kinda Mushy?

Hate to say it, but with cheaply mass produced mods these things happen, no matter what one does.
Luckily new ones don't cost much and if yours starts to act badly just dumb it.

Had a bottle die - invisible, too: I kept thinking it was me, overfilling or oversquonking, but no - it was liquid coming right out the side of the bottle. Anyone find replacement bottles available yet?

I'm way too chicken to even try and fix it, Zoidman. With my mechanical aptitude, I'd just make it worse. The firing button is complete mush - no click a'tall.
$31 down the drain - but I learned that I DO love squonkin'! (And not just the Genesis tune, either!)
Maybe I'll treat myself to a REO next month.
OK. So here's My Thinking.
If the Mod is Not Safe to be used as is, and you have excepted that it is Money Down the Drain, then that means "You Can't Break the Broken".
So instead of just chucking it, I would get some 91% Rubbing Alcohol at the Drug Store and after taking the Bottle out (and of course the Battery) go outside and pour the Rubbing Alcohol over the Fire Button and down into the Battery Hole. Then give the Mod a shake or two. Push the Fire Button a few times. Pour some more Rubbing Alcohol on the Fire Button.
Don't worry about Breaking anything. Remember, You Can't Break the Broken. Then shake out all Rubbing Alcohol that you can and put the Mod in the Sun to dry for a couple of hours. Give it a shake or two every or whenever you want. You shouldn't be able to here any Rubbing Alcohol inside the Mod.
Then let it sit overnight and give it a test with a Battery the Next Day.
The chances are So So that it will work. But hey, you were not going to use it. And a Mushy Button is a good sigh of a Stuck Actuator. And if it Doesn't, just put it back in a Box and chuck into the Depths of a Closet.
Well...I finally retired my DripBox. Had it apart, dried it out and several other non fixes. Oddly, that little cheap atty that came with it sits on my Woodvile and Reo Grand and works just fine. I'll wait to see if they some out with an update on something other than the bigger one that's out there now. Heck, I still use an S-bodytech S-CA1 box mod and, other than it has a fire button that's too small and fussy, it does a good job as well. Cranky, Squonking...and loving them both....
BTW - I received one of these (actually 2) yesterday...

Here is Semi-Review I sent another member on my Initial Thoughts.
"Just an Update. I went ahead and got 2 of those Coppervape BF Mods in Black. I ordered directly from Coppervape and the 2 came out to be $78.33 via PayPal which included 3 Day DHL Shipping.
My first impression is the Mod works Very Well.
The Build Quality looks Good.
Doesn't appear to be a lot of Voltage Drop. But don't have access to my DMM right now.
The 510 Pin sits High and the Connector is square to the top of the Mod.
The Button was a little Stiff at one point in the Stroke. But after about an hours worth of use, it broken it quite Nicely.
On/Off feature of the Button is simple and Easy to use.
The Squonk Bottle is "Soft" and Easy to Squeeze and hold squeezed.
Not had any Leaking and the 510 using a FDV BF Pin in a NarDa.
Magnets hold the Top Cover on Firm. But still Easy to remove the cover.
The Weight with a Full Bottle and an 18650 Battery is around 180 Grams.
The Powder Coating is even. But not sure how well it will hold up?
And the Balance and Hand-Feel are Very Nice also.
Overall, Very Happy with the Mod. And for $78 for 2 with 3 Day Shipping, I consider it a Win!
That said, the RDA that comes with it is Basically Unusable. LOL.
The Single O-Ring Design at the Bottom of the Base is a Serious Design Flaw.
If the OEM had placed the O-Ring Groove above the air inlet slot it would have worked Fine. But where it is, it is next to Impossible for the RDA Cover to seat Fully.
It's No Big Deal to me. Because I looked at the Price as just for the Mod. And if the RDA was Usable, I would consider it a Bonus. And if Not, well, Ca Sara Sara.
Anyway, just thought I would let you know what my 1st Impressions of the Coppervape BF Mod are. And I Definitely Feel Better having acquired a Squonker which is Not Reliant on any Electronics."

I dunno? Guess it is All Relative.
If I am going to Toss a $30 Mod, I'll pour 50 cents worth of Rubbing Alcohol into it with the Chance of Reviving it.
I mean, how long does it Really Take to do this? 5 Minutes?
I'd probably get one of those if it was in the $25 range, like a Dripbox - but it's looking like over $50 right now...
Wonder if they'll appear on FastTech with free shipping?
