ok, I figured out that my hana is measuring every resistance .4 ohm higher than what it is. confirmed this with 4 different atty's using 2 different meters against box reading.
now i'm wondering is this throwing off circuit for wattage settings and is there going to be any other circuit board issues.

for anyone that is not liking small sharp buttons I think a solution is finding a rubber button cap that can be glued in the indentation and covering button.
I am gonna check radio shack next trip out and see if they have anything in project corner
should insulate enough to not poke your finger

I've been thinking about getting some of those thumb stick covers for video game controllers, maybe cutting them down to fit.

    Yea that button can make your thumb tender after a few hours of use, I've now got into the habit of using the end of my thumb nail to fire it, good job I don't bite my nails :laugh:

    So the squape reloaded has been cleaned and built,

    Unboxing
    tmIwT34.jpg


    Coiled with 24gauge 7 wraps @ 0.50ohm using japanese cotton
    OybGGpr.jpg


    Sitting in top of the hanaa, vaping at 25 watts
    Ut7pYmi.jpg


    Decided to use the 'w' base, as vaping sub ohms with high watts, so using the 'w' base, could have more cotton to make sure it wicks fast enough, and so far it seems to be working really well, wicking well and no leaking at all.

    The air flow as expected is really good, the biggest hole is great for lung hits, but do lose flavor, I am liking the 4th biggest hole, still plenty of air flow, but getting good flavor too though.

    Overall I am really happy with the squape, it is as good as I expected it to be :D

    Wow, 25 Watts without problems - I like that - the old Squape is getting tricky already at 20 watts and is sometimes incontinent ;)

    The deck looks good too.

    My one hasn`t been shipped yet, although I ordered it the day it was posted.

    Fixed my Orchid from it's melt down :banana:

    I am guessing I was getting burnt hits from cotton being melted into the insulator, so took it apart and took my dremel to the insulator, I sanded it all down, and looked clean once done, put it all back together, and now been vaping it for 30 minutes with no burn taste at all, before I couldn't take more than 5 hits without getting a burnt taste, so I am hoping I have solved it :D

    Yes using the 'w' deck it is vaping great at 25 watts, and was chain vaping for 5-10 minutes to see how it did, and no problems at all ;)

    YOU have too many toys. That would drive me nuts every morning, trying to figure out what I'm gonna use. It would take me hours just to get out of the house! :laugh:

    ...says the person with NOT ENOUGH toys...


    Oh don't envy me, believe me it is not nearly as fun as one might think ... its an assembly line of items that are seriously beginning to crowd my living spaces :blink:

    Tami nor I, are able to switch the screen to left mode, which reminds me I need to email Ms.Robbot to inquire about that.
    Mine just arrived today so I played with it some. Works find although I switched between normal and stealth and left and right with it locked, the 5 click thing. Holding both up and down locked the power setting. And yes, wow, those little buttons take some work to press. Won't complain about the square KCS box buttons now ;)

    Interestingly I checked the tracking number I was given Tuesday. Its correct and still has no info at all, even when I used the USPS site :(

    Haven't done anything with the rose yet.

    :laugh: Oh Cammie! :laugh: .. but I did the same exact thing with the Russian 91% base. I wrote Doris in a panic telling her that there was zero air flow through the base, and turns out that the AFC grub screw was just tightened all the way in so I couldn't see that it was in there. :blush:

    Damn those grub screws making us feel all ... not that smart :laugh: The Big Dripper's body looks very sleek on the Stingray X, I like that ...

    I mean with the tip and that shape :blush: ... Sorry, bad Nikki :facepalm: ..

    Well once I figured out that the grub screws in the packet were just extras and they had already had three screwed into the post it is working like a champ :). The grub screws were screwed down so far I did not know they were already in place so when I went to screw in the ones that came with the packet they would not go all the way down.....duh Cammie.....
    I tightened up the negative post with the screws at the bottom of the base and we are good to go. Been vaping on it most of the day! Love it!!!! Don't like I can't see my juice but I think it will be pretty apparent when it is empty

    Here are some shots so you can see what it looks like on some vape gear. She is a beast

    Sweet! The body looks really good, but I am gonna need to put a different drip tip on mine. Looks nice with your blue Hanaa too. :)

    I actually like the drip tip that comes with it, normally I always swap out the drip tip, but this one goes well with it, so it will stay for now, probably change when I get some blue drip tips to match the hanaa though ;)

    Score! .. Someone else over at the other forum just rec'd one who said his was great except that the edge of his fire switch felt sharp. A few others in the ZNA thread felt that their's had too many flaws for the price point, and I agree. At $100 every piece needs to be perfect.

    That being said, I much prefer the Robbot over the Wotofo .. the body and switch are just :wub:

    With the right blue tip that would be sexy. :) .. I didn't care for the drip tip on the original Squape, so I am figuring that I will not like this one either. The Rose's body and tip are long, but some how I feel like the drip tip is perfect for it. I do really like the redesigned body of the Squape R though.

    Yea getting the right blue is going to be the problem, you know colors look different in pictures on a site, think I will order 3-4 different ones and hopefully at least 1 will match the hanaa. The drip tip is a long one on the squape, and I don't really like the long ones, but it will work for now ;)

    They sure did a great job on the new squape look, you know I thought the old one looked like a lighthouse, but love the style of this new one, and I can actually fill this one, as the bell is not to tight to the wall, which helps a lot :)
