Help me choose my next mod.

[HigherStateD]

The mod in my vid was a Geekvape Athena. As for what mods that bottle would fit? Probably many side-panel squonk mods, it's a fairly standard size --- fits the Athena fine, could fit in my SQ, and I'm sure it would go nicely into my VT Inbox (V3) among others. FT has two versions: 7ml round/cylindrical, and 8ml cuboid (3 square corners and 1 rounded corner) -- same 18mmx45mm dimensions, but the cuboid version might be problematic in some mods.

Hmmm...sorry, I'm a newb when it comes to squonking, but I fell in love with the (almost) elegant solution it is, but that's a long story. Could you suggest a mech that'd work well with the 7mL? I'm looking for a rainy day EDC.

Well, it's unfortunate the places that had the Athena on clearance are sold out (they were going for as little as 7.99), I see a few places that still have stock but at much higher pricing.

I'm pretty sure the arctic dolphin crea would take it just fine (I don't have one, but keep thinking I should get one before they go OOS):

$16.93 Authentic Arctic Dolphin Crea 18650 BF Squonk Mechanical Box Mod - 1*18650 / built-in 7ml silicone squonk bottle / ABS + PC at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

(actually, just read a few FT reviews of that one ... maybe pass on it)

Or probably many of the inexpensive side-panel squonks at FT (sort by price) -- like the boxer clone, s-rabbit clone, etc: (obviously, check reviews/discussions):

Pretty much limited to side panel mods? I'm guessing that would be a restriction on anything, as needing access to the neck of the bottle needs that whole panel exposure.

If you want something that preforms well, can work as a beater, and is reasonable in price, I highly recommend a Hugo Squeezer. Fasttech has them for less than $25 (mod only, the rda in the kit version isn't that good). They come with 2 squonk bottles and a refill bottle. It takes 18650 (adapter included) 20700 and 21700. It's hard to beat in that price range, especially with everything it comes with.

Well, yeah, side-panel, or otherwise covered but easily exposed bottle ... I mean, I could definitely fit the 7ml side fill bottle in my luna, but there's not much point as there would be no access to the side-fill port once installed --- and, if the squonk opening on the luna were cut higher to allow for such access, then there would be the chance that the collar could be accidentally bumped to the open position and a mess would ensue on the next squonk

I'm wondering if mentioning DRILLING a hole in stabwood would get me banned from this forum...

@Susaz - Yea, you were right. The Desire Rage is even better than the pictures/videos. How it holds up, well only time will tell, but it has that hefty tank feel that appeals to me. Pairing it with a Wotofo Profile RDA, mesh coil (also recommended here in another thread). My first squonk setup. I get why people recommend this now. Layers of flavor. Every hit is like that first hit when you just dripped. If there is any negative it's just too heavy to be my carry around device, but that's okay.

p.s. It looks like they fixed the bottle, the tube goes all the way down to the bottom so no more of 2mls you cannot squonk. The bottle also comes out easily (another fix from the first run), and is easy to refill. The topside probably wins, but it's near 0 effort to refill this.

Thanks for the suggestion.

The Topside scares me. Tubing going from the tank to the 510 connector so near the board sends chills down my spine. I've seen the Drone leaking, this might leak as well. The Rage has direct feeding, no tubing, bottle/510. Very little leaking danger!
