@Redbird11 if you are looking for a squonker on the cheap look up the eleaf Pico Squeeze 2. It's a regulated mod. Takes a 21700 or 18650. I have a couple. Mine were from vape Sourcing for about $20 each on clearance. They are decent little squonkers.

The Squeeze 2 is also Arctic Fox firmware compatible which brings it's performance up to nearly that of a DNA mod. I have AF installed on both of mine.

Another option would be an Asmodus Luna. They are excellent squonkers. Single 18650. It's not a regulated mod. The Luna is a semi-mech that runs on the UL-80-JX chipset. For UL-80-JX chip protections see my post here from a couple years ago. Shinyitis Support Group

IIRC @NolaMel had one she is trying to move.

I actually looked into the Picos as well and they also seem to be out of stock everywhere I have looked.

 

[Redbird11]

No they're, still popular. I think it's just now with the mail ban that folks scooped up a lot of gear.

It just seems like there are plenty of regular mods available, but with squonkers it's slim pickings.

What do you think about the Luna? Do those interest you at all?

 

[Skeebo]

So are squonkers going out of style? Pretty much every website I look at only has one or two at most?

Good question. They were very popular a couple of years ago. I wonder if the lack of new ones coming on the market had to do with the whole PMTA fiasco, popularity of rtas (both mtl and dl) increasing due to better performance... hard to say why, but they definitely don't seem to be a growing market like they once was.

I was strictly a rda user for many years, but here lately the new rtas have really impressed me.

I'm afraid. I like my face and don't want it to blow up.

 

[Redbird11]

Kidding aside, I'm sure the Luna is a good mod. But mechanical mods just make me nervous.

Maybe the wafer plus a touch of crisp waffle? Like 0.1- 0.2 ? There’s a real waffle cone taste to it. I’ll pass judgment after it’s had more steep time, but fresh it’s pretty forward. It’s definitely got the cooked on a griddle or iron taste.

I was thinking the same thing with wafer 0.25 and crisp waffle 0.1-0.2.

My crisp waffle was mixed on Feb 7th, ~8 weeks ago. I just dripped some and it still tastes like a plain waffle to me. I bet adding the wafer will do the trick for the ic cone.

Well I'm pretty new to RTAs myself, so I can't compare the quality of the old ones. All my RTAs are pretty new.

 

[NolaMel]

That looks unique and interesting. I never would have considered mango and cannoli together.

Certainly not irl lol... I’m only going to do a tiny tester. I was having trouble coming up with something to go with mango that wasn’t a tropical ic/smoothie. Probably should go look in my cookbooks for ideas.

What about Thai mango rice pudding with coconut milk? Would mango overwhelm the rice? Sweet rice is pretty weak to me. Hmmm

I hope you feel suitably honored.

I certainly hope they aren't going out of style. I like the fact that you can fit 8-10ml juice in a squonk bottle compared to 4-5ml in a tank. RDAs will always be easier to build on than RTAs, because you never have to worry about leaking. And you don't have wait to finish a tank to renwick. The down side is they are bulkier than a mod with a RTA.

The farther left, the more inclined to raise taxes on anything which breathes or doesn't.

Now - Now - Now - "My" Freind . . . There are a huge number of us "Farther Left" and Liberal people here too that vape and don't agree with the increase of taxes/fines on e-cig & e-liquids . . . . Just remember there were and still are a number of Conservatives/Rebublicians that voted for those taxes/fines also . . . Just Sayin' . . .

Nothing special on the agenda, see what develops. Always yard work if I get bored.

Yard work is all I've been doing recently... warming up quick around here. Right now the project is the vegetable garden (tomatoes, beans and peppers... small garden)

You know the trend though. A liberal is more likely to vote for a vape tax or any tax than a conservative. The PACT act would have never passed as a stand alone bill. In fact it failed as a stand alone. It had to be attached to a six thousand page stimulus bill that the conservatives had to pass.

Nice. I would not have thought to look at the actual company store. Thanks.

They had a flash sale about a month ago and with the code they were about $15. I got two but the one turns off and on at random, I think I need to send it in.

I'm thinking you will like it when you do. Did you try your Tripod yet?

This is the third time you've asked me that since the answer became yes. I liked the vape but disliked the fiddliness of lining things up to fill and to access the deck. And then it started shorting, and when recoiling didn't fix that, I retired it till I had the gumption to tear it apart and put it back together. I think the problem lies in the seating of the positive block: I had to undo the screw holding it in place to get the airflow control ring to move when I first got the atomizer, and I'm pretty sure I didn't reseat it perfectly. I may be wrong, but it's the next step, one I haven't felt like taking yet.

@Redbird11 if you are looking for a squonker on the cheap look up the eLeaf Pico Squeeze 2. It's a regulated mod. Takes a 21700 or 18650. I have a couple. Mine were from Vape Sourcing for about $20 each on clearance. They are decent little squonkers.

The Squeeze 2 is also Arctic Fox firmware compatible which brings it's performance up to nearly that of a DNA mod. I have AF installed on both of mine.

Another option would be an Asmodus Luna. They are excellent squonkers. Single 18650. It's not a regulated mod. The Luna is a semi-mech that runs on the UL-80-JX chipset. For UL-80-JX chip protections see my post here from a couple years ago. Shinyitis Support Group

Not any more, if it's the one now sitting in the squonk section of my vape bureau.
