If I bought a squonker I'd probably get that one.

IF.

I agree with you both, have come to really like Geek vape gear.

@jfcooley and the other squonkers.
Found a box that interests me but never heard of the manufacturer or the online store.
Not on ecf so won't link directly.
It's at vvs619
And is a dual 18650 , the pwm.one

Although they only have green.

Doesn't look bad, gimme a minute I'll see what else in a similar range/quality I can dredge up.

My thoughts on the Pulse 24.

I used SS and built a .20 ohm coil/dual.
Yes the flavor is better than the original RBA that came with the mod - Capo squonker (I know, it's not the best) but it's the only squonker I have, won it.

I believe that I have the coils in the correct position after viewing several videos.
But I don't find the flavor any better than my current tanks that I am using. Flavor is very good, but so are my tanks.
Possibly with a different mod, but I don't understand why a different mod would increase the flavor, it just heats the coils (am I not understanding something?)

The problem is dual coils with a 4.2v cutoff.
Dunno why ijoy was prepossessed by the IDEA of a 4.2v cutoff on a REGULATED squonk.
I find the heat on a dual coil setup is never quite there for flavor on a single battery squonk, unless it's built to stupidly low numbers, like .14 or lower, which isn't exactly a great idea on a mech...
However, in the case of what you're using, that shouldn't really be an issue. Try a lower resistance build.
Lower resistance=more heat.
And more heat=more flavor...
90% of the time.

If you drop down to .12 to.15 the capo Does a little better at least the one i had did.
If it was me is reserve judgement until I tried the rda on a more accurate non squonk. The mod can make a huge difference.

It looks quality, need a bigger bottle .
Personally not a fan of the branding, but it's still attractive. Green...well, it'd stand out .

I will try building lower, thanks!!!

My opinion is the dual on that mod.
It's been covered .

Get that $24 Athena, or a Pulse.
The Capo is ok lower builds but it struggles .IJoy screwed the pooch .

Seeing the GeekVape dual drop lower across the board .$60 at vapehappy. Can hack it to take other bottles, get rid of that tube.

Is that your way of saying it would be an at home mod lol.

 

[jfcooley]

Sitting outside Post Office. Meh .

Just an FYI to B2K owners. John has drip tips nailed down. Talking to him this morning he's going to attempt the beauty rings. Some concern about how thin they are. Sending him one of mine so he can try. Going to try selling ring/tip combos.

Actually, and I'm not certain exactly why, the mod can make a difference in flavor, IMO. DNA mods seem to provide the most consistent flavor, perhaps because they are really converting power to the board most efficiently and consistently. I've had mods I hated (pico I am talking to you) regardless of what I put in there/tried different coils/tanks etc. I hated them all, to me the pico isn't comparable to a provape, any other DNA board, and there are a few makers like Teslacigs that just have very efficient, consistent delivery systems that don't show sag really until close to the end of battery life.

I've found that with cheaper, less consistent boards it's hard to enjoy the vape/flavor as much as it can be somewhat variable, and the way the Pico used up my single 18650 battery, well I have to believe the power board was less efficient and less consistent than my provaris or any other DNA mod. The really good boards tend to have great battery life as well.

With the wrong mod, I can find the flavor widely variable. I know you get what you pay for and everything, but there are just some mods I remain happier with than others. Flavor in your tank that is distributed unevenly and inconsistently can lead to weird things (JMO as always).

I agree jfc.
I have given away more vape gear to friends that wanna try to quit smoking then I can list.
Have sold a few, but mostly given to friends.
I still have a box of really old stuff, that I'm sure no one would want or use anymore, but I haven thrown any of it away.

Some day they will be worth a lot of money in an antique store

 

[the wind]

sorry chillcat but I have to make fun of your mod.View attachment 689755

 

[Walter_Sobchak]

Yep, okay, squonkers are exempt from shinyitis. As if it stopped ya'll from purchasing like it was 2008 before when it was prohibited, but certainly squonkers can be exempt. I'm still not buying one.

Anna

Some converts take more time than others. I'm patient

 

[stols001]

Uh, I just posted my ten setups in rotation on the "What is your daily rotation" thread. I don't think it will be anytime soon, what if I love it. If I don't know what I am missing? Well, perhaps one day I will win one. That might be a reason for me to try it out.

Also, there is something I don't like (be it features, looks, being a mechanical) about each and everyone I've seen so far.... Except for one that I would have bought in a heartbeat, only it was like $700? If you really want to convert me, @Walter_Sobchak, I'd be quite happy to go on a Great Search to find it (I believe it may have been on this thread but I can barely keep up going forward, let alone backwards. Shinyitis may have saved you an expensive "conversion" LOL.

I'll probably buy a Pulse. I have been looking at them, just not sure about unregulated mods.
If/when I get the pulse, what ohm should I build a dual coil?

pretty good looking box. looks like a really big bottle

1590B Squonker Kit Red
I did one better...
@Hightech Redneck
I'll see if I can hunt down more later.
This one amused me. As an interesting simple project for 1/3 the price, at a good level of quality.

 

[Walter_Sobchak]

if I only liked squonking this might be interesting.Geekvape Athena Squonk Mod (Mechanical) - EightVape

that's a really good price for a decent little squonk mod. has it's pros and cons but at that price you can hardly complain

I'm probably the first person ever to say this, but if you're gonna go unregulated...
Skip the pulse. Better options out there for same or less money.
