I wish I had an LP. I'm gonna have to say perfect choice as your first. I want an LP so I can spend another $100 on a cyclone and cyclops. And I just bought a VVG. I'm holding back with everything I've got not to just order one off the site and that cyclone.
But for squonking I've actually yet to flood the rm2, unlike my era which will leak out the airhole if over-squonked. So I look for when the juice is up past the air hole and let go then. When in doubt, squonk it out.
You are a quick study. Good work on the squonk techniques
