Gbox100 available again (Dual battery 200W squonker)

[hazozita]

Looks like Geekvape is re-releasing the Gbox 100 dual battery 200W squonker. It’s available on 3fVape for $41.49 (mod only) as a pre-order with their MAP coupon code.

The kit comes with the Radar rda that has a rather unusual build deck. The photo below is from the Geekvape site.

Strange, I only see them still listed as pre-order with an estimated shipping date of 12/17...

The black one was a 24 hour ship item for a brief time. Now all colors are back to pre-order status. I was tempted to order one, but I really want the green so I'll wait until that's available.

Plus, I've seen a few US sites that I like to order from (Eciggity and MVS) have them listed as coming soon, so I'll probably wait until I can get it from them. I'll tolerate China ship times for smaller stuff, but when I order a mod, I want it quick!

In case anyone wants to know what the internal squonk assembly looks like on the original S100 (probably the same

Well, got it a day early. Can't open it right now as I have a crap ton of work to do. Just wanted to make sure everything was in the mailer because there was a massive tear in it. Later tonight I shall find out how it is

I'm liking it so far. Definitely will be getting silicone bottles when they're finally out, hopefully soon. My workshop is in our basement which is unheated aside for a lonely space heater that's on its last leg and it takes both hands to get the squonk action going because vg doesn't like cold'ness and it's like 3 degrees out now with the windchill lol. Probably get the hang of it but I keep end up mashing the up/down buttons trying to get enough leverage for the time being. Been using it on and off all night in SS temp control and honestly (don't shoot me) it seems to be doing better than my DNA 75 ever did. That and the batteries haven't dropped at all on a simple dual fused clapton at the 80w temp control max. Hopefully they can update that to 100w-120w but I guess we'll see. Radar was really easy to build on too. Again, I have nothing squonk related to compare it to BUT really liking it

Received the silver gbox today - so far so good. TC seems to work to the best of my knowledge. Not to keen with the included rta - maybe I'll build some exotic type coils and try it in wattage mode. I went ahead and put a cthulhu gaia in its place and I am liking it a lot. Time will tell.
Material of the mod seems to be made of metal. Not much else to add... its 3am where I'm at right now.

peace love and vape peoples!

Got mine in today, it's my first SS TC mod (have a couple that do TI o NI, didn't care for them) but loving this so far. Included atty is pretty decent, buttons are nice and clicky, and it feels pretty good in hand. Not as heavy as I was expecting, either. TC seems to work pretty well, I vaped it dry and no burnt taste. I like it!

It's my first SS TC mod, so I can't compare it to anything really, but just to see I vaped my cotton COMPLETELY white earlier today. Like even the tails were dry, and my cotton didn't change color. Vaping a 26 gauge 316 3mm at .22 ohms, 80 watts at 420F.
It's all plastic, and would be too heavy otherwise I think. Paint seems good, feels nice in hand. I wish the up down buttons weren't directly across from the squonk bottle as I tend to accidentally change my temp, but locking it is easy enough- just push +/- at the same time and only the fire button works.
They went with a tinted screen over the display, and in bright sunshine even at 100% brightness it can be hard to see, but doesn't really bother me. I just shade it with my other hand.
I really like it. Ramps up fast, feels solid/ quality to me. Good heft, maybe just a little heavy for a shirt pocket, but carried it in my hoodie hand pocket all day and it never bothered me. Solid B+ for 24 hours use, would buy again.
Oh, and year old he2s burning about 12 mls of juice were at 35% when I got home. Placed on charger and they were both excatly the same amount of discharged.

Alright so after using this for a while I feel like I'm not doing something right or something else is up. When the bottle gets below half full it's damn near impossible to get anything in the deck. I tested by blowing through the 510 and it's super duper tight. I figured it would be more open looking at the 510 till I noticed the outlets on the stem itself are microscopic. I have to either pinch the bottle ridiculously hard to the point I feel like I'm going to snap off the steel stem/tube or the bottle is going to crack. Kind of defeats the purpose if I have to fill the bottle as soon as it hits the halfway point :\ Are there any other bottles this thing can use or am I stuck?

Don't think there are any other bottles, but I have seen people modify it so it can use a silicone bottle with a conventional feed tube. Pics below show one modified to work with a Lostvape silicone bottle. These are not my pics -- I clipped it from a FB group a while back for when I get a Gbox. Unfortunately, the clip didn't include the poster's name and I can't remember which group I pulled it from, so I can't give credit where credit is due.

Stick with the stock bottle and just press and hold for 2-3 seconds when the bottle is less than half. It will get you down to the last like 1/6th when you will get some bubbling, and refill or shake out if you want to change flavors. It's still like 7 mils of juice before refill, with RDA flavor and ease of building/wicking.

Found the issue was with how much cotton I was using. So it was my fault. I've been using an original Troll ever since it was first released and I'd always stuff it completely full and me being me didn't even think about the juice opening getting a bit too compressed. Another crisis averted. Thank you for the tips though

 

[Btsmokincat]

Big and bulky but my favorite and most solid, reliable Squonker. I will happily buy this new version!

A two battery squonker is going to be bulky. No getting around it a long as people are using battery shaped bottles. The weird bit is these bottles are generally custom anyway. I don’t understand why they don’t just start wrapping them into the spare spaces in the mod.

Cause corners don't sqonk well. Nor do unusual shapes. Tear open a ketchup packet and just push the bottom. Even sealed with just a hose you'd never get reiable squeezes after a bit. (I've wondered the same now and then)

Wondered even why batteries aren't offset from center and screen moved to allow a similar form factor to a 2 battery box.

I agree though, this looks to be big and bulky. Right now I'm not interested. Will see once some real world reviews start popping up. Not interested in pre-release hype. (looking squarely at you iJoy)

Got mine pre-ordered. First pre-order for me so hopefully there aren't any delays. Pearl/Chrome ^_^ Pretty excited.

 

[BoogaWu]

Pre order is supposed to be shipped! So excited!

@BoodwaWu -how does the mod feel in your hand? How is the tc working? What kind of tc coil are you using - ss? nickel? titanium? What temp are you using for TC? and how many watts are you running it in on TC? And how is the overall feeling of the mod - is the exterior primarily made out of metal? I'm a little worried that I may have just bout a hard plastic sqounk mod.
Many thanks for your time and thanks in advance for any of your comments. Inquiring minds want to know lol.

peace and be well and my your wicks never run dry and your battery always hold an excellent charge =)

I have a gbox pearl kit that i ordered from 3f... mayhaps it will be a New Years present for me... lol

 

[Afcarmona]

Yay! I got shipping confirmation- it’s in a slow boat from China! How long does 3F shipping take?

 

[_pierced_]

Finally got a shipping confirmation. Should be here Friday

Going to wait for reviews. Glad I cancelled the Capo after watching Tony's preview/review.

Not a bad price. If it's good I'll definitely be looking into it.
