For the person asking about Squonk-ready RDAs, I think Catfish still has a few dozen Stumpys from the last run.

That Svapiamo squonker is very sweet. I've been putting off buying one because I am on too many lists, but my resolve is weakening. Bad angel: "But, they're so cheap..." Good: "But, think of the shipping! From Italy!" BA: "But, what a bargain for such a beautiful piece of work." BA, again: "And most of them are under $100!" BA: "And you could build your own!"

The good angel really needs to woodshed those debating skills...
Angel Whiplash! Yeah, good angel is easily smacked down.
ETA: I think he's got a list going for the Stumpy or some that were stil available. I'll check.

@HeiSINberg, I've got the same mod. The mod works great, the bottle not so much. I found when you juice up the tube before inserting back into the bottle, it makes things a little easier. But attaching the tube to the squonk pin is a real pain, always has been and the way the bottle is made, always will be, IMHO. I've had a few BF mods but I've not come across this bottle design till Svapiamo. It's truly a PITA. Within a couple of fills, I gave up and switched it out for a reo bottle. You will still have to pull the bottle to fill, but they are much easier to fill and reinstall. The Italian bottles are even better. Slips onto the squonk pin on the first attempt, every time.

Kinda doesnt make sense to me to pay that much for a mod and have such a carpy bottle. Make it easy on yourself and get a reo bottle, or even better one of the Italian ones. For a few bucks, they will make your BF experience go so much better.

Hope this helps.
I got two of those Reos bottles coming after y'all recommended them.

Thanks for this, I'm glad it's not just me with more people coming in here and saying the same thing. I thought the exact same thing though, it's not like this was THAT cheap I thought the bottle at least woulda been good lol. But at the end of the day I'm just glad it's a super easy fix for me and not something that's detrimental to the mod itself. Thanks to everyone in here for helping me out with this, I can't remember all your names sorry!

I pulled the trigger and got the Magenta with a black door as well. Guess I'm rocking the pink after all.
I knew you could do it! Lol You rock that pink and black bro, and I expect to see a handcheck when it comes in too.

Definitely. I'll rock it with pride. Gonna put the NarDA with the bell cap on there. Might need to get a pink JMK drip tip to go with it.

Anybody know of a sick wood sx 350j v2 squonker? Doesn't necessarily need to be wood just sick!
GProv makes a squonker with the SX350j V2. I'm waiting on mine right now. He told me he made the mod even smaller and switched to the V2 which has caused the delay. I'm hoping it won't be too much longer. You'd have to talk to the modder and see if he will make one.

It will look something like that. Not sure if mine will have the engraving on it, he didn't say. But it will be that shape and size.

How am I to get in contact? And if you don't mind me asking how much did you pay for the mod? And I'm assuming single 18650

where the bottle meets the tubing pops off. over time it will wear and not be as snug but a small o ring the Top screw on cap will prolong the bottles life. Eeiter way eventually the bottle will need to be replaced. they are wear items.

The Pekos come without the screw cap and work just fin and last for a while

pull it at an angle and it will pop right out.

It does look like that, maybe I should of looked closer lol. But, even if I pop it off and use the top cap again the bottle won't work and it'll just fall off the tube, the hole in the cap is way way too big and there would be no suction.

Looking at the original pic I would have to agree with Train2 in that that disc at the top of the bottle should snap out to refill and then snap it back in. No need to use the screw on cap for it. It is the same basically as the reo type bottle that Tagi posted without the nipple on top. It might be easiest to try and remove it with your fingernail or a flat blade screwdriver the first few go rounds until it loosens up a little.

Yeah I can't pop it out and only use the top screw cap with it cause it'll fall off. But what I could do is take it out and pop that tab out WITH the tube still attached and fill it that way, that would be really easy actually I never thought of that before. Thanks man I appreciate it! I'm still new to this so I didn't even think to look at that.
