Psyclone has the Citadel in-stock. Psyclone Citadel 22mm

Another one you might like is the Atmizoo Creek. I have a couple. Of all the rda's I own I would rank the Creek in the 1st or 2nd spot for flavor. It comes with everything you need to do MTL, RDL or DL. The design is like no other rda in that it has bottom, directly under the coil, AF. @NolaMel has one. In fact she brought it to my attention a couple years ago.

ETA: The Creek is a great rda for squonking.
I have one, too, but, guess what? I haven't tried it out yet.

No curse, it just sort of worked out that way. I usually do have a dozen ready to vape, so if we need to go out I can always grab a couple that are full and fully charged. And change up what I vape a few times daily. Never had any flavor burnouts or vaper's tongue ;) Usually about half are filled with "regulars", any of which could be an ADV for me, but, uh, why? :lol:

Lots more fun being able to just pick up a different mod for a flavor change, than having to wait for an empty tank.
I have six going right now. I'd probably have more if I had space for them on the table where my rotation lives.

Uh, Dorothy??



Yes, alcohol on a swab is a good way to clean the pin and 510 area. I like to pull the battery out when I do that, just in case I hit the fire button while cleaning. (Or at least turn the mod off.)

But now I'm confused. First thought was, yes, the 510, but you're saying it happens with every battery? As in 18650? A poor connection on the battery would make the mod toggle on / off...
Sometimes when I put a new battery in it works great. Other times I get no connection and I take it out and put it back in a few times before it works. Sometimes the connection happens but when I press the button the wattages go crazy (it could be seconds but I think it’s wattage and even if it is seconds the numbers are up and down and all around). And showing varying seconds or wattage is not normal.

I looked at the battery cap and could see a tiny bit of foreign matter in one of the grooves. I took my eraser and scrubbed it down until clean. It seems to be working...for now. I’ll try the alcohol swab in a bit.

35 years married. My oldest daughter and her hubs.
Beautiful couple! I bet you are very proud. And 35 years is quite the accomplishment.

I am a big fat zero on marriage. Never married although I’ve tried and failed valiantly over the years. I was engaged to my first one for ten years. More followed but we won’t go there. :D I actually deserve a gold medal. Never could find the one I wanted and one that was worth it. It sounds like a lot of work to me...and y’all know how I feel about work. I put it to the side a few years ago and I’ve never been happier. One day I’ll try again!

So now that I am being so generously gifted a STNG RDA (thanks @hittman!), I need to decide what squonk mod to get. I know I want a regulated mod for sure. I am leaning towards the Vandy Vape pulse v2. One reason being that it seems to be in stock at a lot of places.

However, if any one has any suggestions for a good squonk mod I am all ears.

I have two and like them. They're really small, lightweight, and compact. The first run had some issues with the button sticking but luckily mine never did. One of them has over 16,000 hits on the puff counter with no problems. They rectified the issue with the subsequent runs. They are also water proof... but I have yet to vape underwater. Stuff like that is way above my pay grade.

If you have 21700 batteries they are not a bad mod to have.

Hey everyone! I am feeling great again :) I still cannot vape. My fear of not being able to vape came true. After I got completely better I tried vaping . The first day I took two puffs and was fine. The second day I took 4 puffs and the next morning I had a little bit of a headache and sore throat. The third day I took 4 puffs and about 30 minutes later I got a horrible headache along with a sore hoarse throat, and I also started itching and broke out in little allergic reactions. I am going to try experimenting again with different ratios soon. I seem to be ok if I only take 2 puffs over about 3 days...lol I just want to be able to take 10 to 20 puffs a day. I used to vape everyday all day! I miss it! Just wanted to update you guys :)
What is your pg/vg ratio? I had a reaction to pg early in my vaping career. Red bumps on my face where the vapor touched, trouble breathing. I ditched the pg as much as I could and vg never bothered me. I was fine after that. The only pg I vape is whatever is in the flavors.

I said I wasn't going to make a flavor order for awhile. However, I decided that if I just ordered the SSA Ice Creams, it wouldn't count as an actual order. So I go online to BCF and the stupid SSA Vanilla Ice Cream is sold out.
Same. I’m also on the waiting list. For about a week now.

Any leaking issues? I saw a couple complaints about the bottle having leaks.

I’m thinking about doing a little pampering. My boss sent me an email today that set me off. A professional yet forthright email from me followed. I’ve about had it.

Yep...a nice night of pampering is what I’m gonna do.
I'd say you have earned a bit of pampering. Enjoy yourself.

    Good plan, RJ :)

    I have not, but the bottle is one aspect about the mod I don't like.

    I have large hands and getting that cap off the bottle can be a PITA due to the little tab that flips up to unscrew it. I wish they designed it better.

    The Smoant Battlestar squonks are good, but they are heavier. I like the push button pumper for the squonk action too. It really never leaks either, at least mine haven't. I think @Territoo likes them too. If you decided to get one it might be wise to get some spare bottles from Everzon. The mod comes with one spare bottle.

    The Dovpo squonks are nice. I have both the dual and the single battery. People complain that the battery door gives them issues after a while... I haven't had problems with mine. Since you vape at lower watts the single battery would be more than enough for you. You can use both 18650 and 21700 batteries in it.

    Out of the four above, the Dovpo single battery mod is one I wish I had more of... It's still hard to pick one over the other though.
