To rich for my blood I'd be down for dual regulated 20700 but again never squonker not sure id fork out for something I never used

Thus why I want to learn to squonk with a mech til a .... load of regulated squonk come out

Here in Colorado as long as you got a tobacco licence you can build few years ago it was cheap now it's over 400k to get a tobacco licence

With a background in building electronic circuits I have had an advanced grasp of Ohm's law since long before ecigs (as we know them) even existed. Still I see no real need to use a mech. Why use a mech and have to experiment with coils, worry about safety, and deal with declining performance as the battery drains; when you can use a regulated mod and throw nearly any coil on it, get a great vape by adjusting settings, while getting consistent performance as the battery drains?

For me it's fun to have something that pretty much isn't going to break to the point of being un-fixable. I saw an RTA (the Big Buddha by EH Pro) on sale that looked very KayFun-ish but it had dual coils and held 10ml of juice. The site had a 26650 mech mod (the EH Pro Dynast) on sale that matched it perfectly. Went looking at batteries and once I saw the Mooch tested CDR of 30 Amps (to go along with the manufacturer's rating of 40 Amps) and the 4200 mAh capacity of the iJoy INR, I was really interested. I do MTL so a dual coil set up works great for me from 0.75 Ohms to 1.0 Ohms. I go for a vape that is satisfying through the life of the charge; it can't be too harsh at the high end and it needs to die down enough at the low end to remind me to change out the battery. That it does.

I even have the option of replacing the glass tank wall with matching metal. My friends have told me that it looks like a small hand-to-hand weapon when I carry it. The heft, grip, and feel tells my hand that it would probably work as one using that metal spare tank. My experience so far is that it very rugged and very dependable...if you take care of it. If I were to drop the thing in a swimming pool/body of water/mouth of the hideous sea creature; I could take it out, clean it, dry it thoroughly, put in a different battery, replace the wick after dry firing the coil a bit...and it would be good to go. No more treating my mod as delicately as a cell phone with complicated electronics exposed.

To summarize: I feel very safe in that I won't tax my 26650 beyond it's 30 Amp CDR on the coils I build, actually these batteries are the safest single batteries in that regard that I can reasonably get my hands on. The design is rugged because it doesn't house any of the electronics of a regulated device. With some forethought the coil can be made to be both serviceable at the highest charge level of the battery and weak enough to serve as a warning when it is time to change out the battery - the vape becomes unsatisfactory as you approach the lower end of the battery's charge. In these ways it is very much like the smaller AIO devices. In fact this could be seen as the much older brother of the Kangertch EVOD Pro (version 1) that I enjoy carrying about with me on a work day. It's just bigger. And more powerful. And better in every way. I enjoy monkeying around with it.

Sorry I posted the quote wrong...it’s late, and...well. This is for the OP. Have you ever smoked cigarettes? I’ve been following this post, lips closed, but never heard you mention about past smoking habits.

Not that it’s a big deal if you’re an adult, but what are you trying to achieve? Flavor? Big clouds? Quitting cigarettes? Pissing off message boards (lol)? If you want to stay off cigarettes, this is the best place to be. The advice I’ve gotten here has been invaluable. We can help you stay off cigarettes if you want to.

What we can’t do is teach you how to build coils. The only way that will happen is to do it on your own. People here have given you advice to not make you a headline, but my guess is that you want a desired effect that isn’t about ending your addiction to cigarettes.

Feel free to message me if you want more advice.

I got the paranormal 166 I'm not opposed to regulated squonk mod but there pricey and I want to squonk now if I went regulated I'd want a dual I don't always carry batteries with me

I like this hugo squeezer but I don't know mechs and in a way I would like to understand it all
I love my squeezer i got a single coil 24g parallel reading .28 which is 15 amps at 4.2 volts on LG hg2 18650 and no problems great vape just use the ohm law calculator to know your safe resistance like i won't go any lower than my build now just to keep a lil bit of amp head room on my batts but as your voltage drops so does your amp pull

They're technically on preorder. Mine's set to ship in the next couple days.

The only video I could find when I ordered it was a French guy who received one in his shop just hours before.

He was really impressed with it:


Grim green n jai haze both reviewed it now man you may wanna check them out bc theres problems with the silicone slippin and leaking your juice everywhere just a heads up man

Well everyone's here has said to start with single coils and might aswell get tank built for it

I tried a 7wrap k1 single coil n was worse then the 2 coil 6wrap k1 I had in the rabbit

I wouldn't even know what kind clap I could run in a the rabbit in dual mode or single

3id is the max jig I own

Cold for me no flavor
Put the atty on your VooPoo or something. See if you can make it work for you on a Regulated mod. If you get it to a point where it's good, check the screen and see how many volts you're running.
It's possible that there's something wrong with your mech like, dirty contacts or a loose connection somewhere. If you get a good vape off the same atty on a regulated mod at 3.7 - 4 volts, you'll know one of two things: either mechs aren't your cup of tea, or, yours isn't functioning properly.

Wait k1? You used Kanthal? I suggested to use your 26ga Ni80 wire you said you had. What gauge is the k1?

We suggested SS too. He marches to the beat of his own drum. That's why I'm trying to get him to try it on a regulated device. So far, his tunnel vision has zeroed in on the atty and coils. I figured if he can get it to work for him on a regulated device with his Kanthal build, it'll be easier to get him to focus on some of the differences when using a mech.
