Loving the squeeze so far. Like has been said the fire button takes some getting used to but not a big deal. Bottle is soft but I don’t mind, first time squonking so don’t really have any preferences yet. It’s nice to have a convenient way to vape the great tasting rda all day so I’m extremely happy. I’m using the ammit rda which is working excellent, haven’t got any leaks and I’m learning how much to squonk pretty easy. Thanks to all for the advice, recommendations, and knowledge that you’ve shared with me, it’s greatly appreciated.

Squonking is awesome. I'm betting this is a turning point. I never got into RDAs because I hated dripping. Sqounking is a whole different story now that there are affordable squonk mods. And now I have 20 RDAs - 15 of them I don't really care for.
Yea I was never going to drip to use an rda. So with that and the fact That I was never going to use a mech. Squonking was something that didn’t appeal to me. Now we have quality regulated squonk mods and lots of single coil rda’s so now was the time to jump into the world of the squonk.
Also I was looking to get nice single coil rda and the mission xv KRMA caught me eye. Anybody have it and really like it? Is there spare space under the cap for a drip tip to avoid hitting the top of your coil when pushed all the way in? I have the gasmods gr-1 and the ammit mtl and both are really small. Especially the gr-1, the cap is right on top of the coil which causes it to heat quick. So I’m looking for a roomier single coil rda to squonk with.

If the gas mods gr1 is a little too small and hot, but you like the semi restricted hit it offers, the wotofo nudge 22 is very nice. It has a little less flavor than the gr1, but it is a little more roomy, easier to build, and since it is a little older, it can be found for very reasonable prices. The entheon is also a good option for a semi restricted airflow rda. The clones can be had for 10 bucks or less, and most come with multiple drip tips (proprietary) but also have a 510 adapter (typically with a 510 drip tip pre-installed).

It's a winner! Best budget squonk mod on the market IMO.

Using the alcatraz on it for now.

@score69 - I agree on all points. As I said in my mini review on page 6, this will be an at home mod mainly because of the hair trigger bottle. I refill through the 510, which I prefer in general. I will get an alternative bottle as soon as one is available.

That being said, I have made peace with it. To my amazement in now 5 refills, I have not over squonked yet.

Where’s a pic of those rainbows? ;)
Lol, I've never posted pics here. Need to figure out how. I tried a few months back posting a pic of my two Lunas, and never ended up happening. Pretty sad I'm a software engineer and was having so many problems. I'm sure I could have figured it out, but got busy with other things and never got back to it.

Let me take a look at that again today if it's slow at the office. ;)

I second the Entheon I got mine @FT I got the SXK one & its great! Well made, single coil, restricted DL hit, I used the 510 adaptor & put an abalone driptip on it.

Edit: I also like the Recurve Rda.

Set it up and been using since last night. Was not sure how I would like it as I had the original Pico and did not like it due to the small size. Ended up giving that to my neighbor as he was in need of a mod and he likes smaller devices. Hated to give it away as I won it from pbusardo but it was doing me no good sitting on the shelf.

Initial thoughts on the Squeeze 2 is it feels good in the hands. Has good weight and feels solid. The fire button does not bother me as I've been using the Modefined Lyra in my rotation which has similar middle of the mod fire button. Left hand I trigger and squonk with thumb. Right hand, trigger with thumb and squonk with middle finger. Getting used to the whole squonk thing but it's almost like it is natural. That is probably due to reading so much about it on the forum, no issues as of yet.

The Coral RDA which came with the kit was odd to insert the coil. The angled deck is going to take some time to get used to but kinda like how the air hits the coil so, worth the time taken to figure out. Like the flavor I am getting out of it. That is the main reason I am excited about this, I love NET's just hate dripping. Rewicking and dryburning are no issue, it was the whole act of dripping which I never really liked. Time to reconnect with an old friend.

Overall, I am pleased with my purchase. Hits hard and has good flavor, feels solid and good in the hands, pretty good little device. Of course, these are just initial thoughts as I've had it less than a day.

Ok, let's try this. Not the greatest quality. I guess the easiest way going forward will be for me to create an account on an online image hosting site. What's the best one these days?

Still real happy with it so far as a stay at home mod. :)

@score69 - Beautiful! That Recurve is a good match. Good set up to bring out when special company comes over, like we used to bring out the good plates and silverware back in the day. Lol
Thank you, I'm more pleased with the rainbow than I thought I would be. Probably because the rainbow recurve is so matchy-matchy. If the finish on the Recurve were a bit more shiny, I think it would be perfect. But Lord, it is a fingerprint magnet, lol.

If I continue to like it (especially if a stiffer bottle is found), I will probably pick up the SS finish one at some point as well. Some of the pictures folks have here of the SS with various toppers has kind of given me 'mod-envy'. :D

I've used my Desire Cut as a carry mod, it's kind of heavy too. The Pulse has kind of spoiled me in that regard, but I don't mind taking a heavier setup out and about either. Just needs a little stiffer bottle and it would be really good. I am adjusting well to the fire button as a leftie. I hold the mod straight in my hand to squonk with my ring finger. When I fire it, I just turn it a bit clockwise in my hand and the fire button is right there. Not optimal by any means, but I like it enough that I'm willing to overlook that.

Yeah, I remember the days of bringing out the silver and china, haha. Man, I'm getting old.

Got a nudge 22 on the way. I was a little confused at first, then I realized there is a 22 & 24 and I was looking at the 24. I need to pay better attention to the details, lol. Anyway eightvape has the nudge double duece for for $19 which seems to be a pretty good deal and I had some points to bring it down a little more. I figured for that price there’s really no way to lose. Thanks for the recommendation and I’ll let y’all know what I think when I try it out.

I've been using mine for a few days, and with the complaints you have of the gr1, the nudge 22 would probably be just what your looking for. I am really enjoying it, it replaced my wasp nano and pulse 22. It still has great flavor, just not quite as intense as the gr1, more like the entheon and wasp in the flavor department.

So now I'm confused, lol. Did you get the Nudge 22 or 24?

I've got every color of the Nudge 22. Like @Zaryk said, it also replaced the Wasp Nano and Pulse 22 for me. I like the Recurve and Amodus C4 a lot as well, but I've got the Nudge 22/Pulse 80w in my hand right now. I think you will like the Nudge.

I'm not sure about the Nudge 24. Folks seem to like it, but I'm a single coil kind of guy. Been tempted to pick one of the 24's up though at that price. I've seen them for $19.99 at numerous places for the Nudge 24. Wish I would have been able to get the 22 at that price. Not sure what the reason is for the price difference.

Guessing you can't go wrong with either one. More a single/double, 22/24 kind of decision.

I got the nudge 22. I only do single coils. Yea that price was nice. Also there is a little bubble that pops up when you are on the website that says reward points. If you click that you can use the points for money off your order. I didn’t even remember ordering from there but I had $5 off with points. You click the reward points and it’ll tell you what/if you got any, and then just click use and you get a code for $$off. So ya my nudge ended up costing $14.99, so even if I don’t like it no big deal. I’m pretty sure I’ll like it though because the deck looks good, I like single coils, and @Zaryk hasn’t steered me wrong yet, lol. So thanks again Z-man, I appreciate the rda recommendations.

Not a problem, it seems we have similar taste in attys, so it's not hard to just let you know what I liked out of everything I have tried.

So I've been using my squeeze 2 non-stop since it arrived and am totally in love with it. Probably going to keep the alcatraz on it too as it is an amazing atty that kinda got bumped out of my high end rotation due to adding a bunch of newer rdas recently. Plus I love the way the ultem cap looks with all that metal under it.

The mod itself just looks so good - almost mech like when you are holding and using it right handed. Love that I dont have to look at the screen. I just set it and forget it. The bottle system is one of my favorites next to removeable carriers like the hellfire venom x or even the aspire feedlink.

Performance wise it just works and does wattage with no issues and that's all I want from a regulated device aside from battery monitoring and safety.

I have a lot of squonk mods, mostly mechs with a few mosfet type mods sprinkled in the mix and only 2 regulated mods (my ultem BAM dna 75s) in active use. The squeeze 2 will take its place beside them in my daily/weekly rotation). Glad I ordered a second one (as a back up). It will stay in the box until I lose or break the first one.

When new squonkers ask me for recommendations in the future this is what I will recommend.

After a full week, I am very happy with the Squeeze 2. Weight feels fine now and muscle memory is trained for the side button. Switch back and forth between Squeeze 2 and Inbox all day without issue.

I agree with Mermaaan that I would recommend the Squeeze 2 as a good choice for a beginning Squonker. Autually id recommend it to anyone.

Yeah it is just hands down a great device no matter where in the vape game you are at.
