At this rate, my vape hoarding budget will far exceed my toilet paper hoarding budget. Oops. Can I say that? :cool: The Squid Industries Detonator - one in each color. Asmodus Zesthia on top. :banana:

Looks grand - I really wanted one of these but my Credit Card company sadly would not let me buy one from the only UK seller who had one. Enjoy!
I like it but thinking of hi lighting the engraving with ink or the like so it more viewable. It may not turnout the way I think it will?:cry:

I must admit the subtlety of the engaving without colouring appealed to me.

In the Uk there was only one listing for it - I got as far as the payment stage but when I put my card in the Bank promptly came up with something like Untrustworthy Seller and would let the transaction go no further I've never had that before nor since so I remain puzzled!

Weather Warnings out for the Scottish Borders with two of the major roads closed due to muiltiple pile ups ... and I have to go out to the Bank - checked "George and Mildred" the married pair of batteries were fully charged and filled the Zenith, so I'm good to go!

Looking out the window this morning, with heavy snow forecast for the rest of the week I’ll not be going anywhere, so I thought I’d revisit squonking.

By January 2016, 4 months into vaping and armed with an iStick and Nauti Mini, I knew Vaping had got me off of a 50 year smoking habit and that I wasn’t going back to tobacco.

Avidly reading through everything I could find to increase my knowledge on ECF, I came across a thread entitled maybe, “The Vaper’s Progress,” and it said something like,” the real outdoor types meanwhile will be heading off into the wilderness with rugged mechanical squonkers.”

Arthritis hadn’t struck, I was still mountain biking and hillwalking in the Spanish Mountains, and so I was intrigued.

Squonking wasn’t mainstream then; devices tended to be semi lethal like the Terminator/Smokeless Owl Combo, rare like the REOS, or handmade in craft workshops. BF atomisers either had to be converted from Drippers, or sourced from exotic suppliers and the cost was commensurate, but I put out the money and got one mod hand turned from a solid block of metal from the USA, a wooden one from Eastern Europe and two Origen Little BF Atomisers from France.

Neither mod lasted long - that Spring in Spain was the hottest for 70 years, the battery swelled up and got stuck inside the metal mod and a leak jammed the wooden firing button in the other.

Kanger brought out its affordable Drip Box but I ignored it as my first venture into squonking had been such an expensive failure … until this year’s January Sales when I picked up a couple for £10.00 each.

I don’t think I’ll ever be a full time squonker but these Drip Boxes with a single 0.9 Ohm coil running across the well between the posts are nice for a change.
