Oh wow that was kind of major wasn't it?

yeah. Didn’t seem to be hitting properly, I tightened the switch a bit more :eek:

when I finally decided the tightened switch hadn’t done the trick I opened it up to see what was going on. I saw a spring scorched and cracked in half with delrin melted (hybrid too)

dangerous. Luckily my face is intact.

careful people!

edit; have changed to a kayfun lite on a reg at the moment :lol:

I am very happy you still have your face in tact! A very important feature, a face!

Yea, being super careful on those mods is a good thing! Glad you found the issue and were able to make the proper corrections before it was too late.. :)

Thanks. I was always anxious about using hybrids and my first proper setup was discussed here while people helped me sort out the dmm I needed (thanks again guy whoever you are, I’ll never forget ;))

not sure if this is my first vented battery? No thermal runaway as nothing got hot and the battery looks in exactly the same condition aside from that big black mark on top haha

I need to do some battery research. That’s for sure

Whats keeping me away from buying, building and messing around with ecigs.
R-L for my BFF for her birthday, Amanzonite and sterling. Next was for my stepmom for mothers day African Turquoise (which is really Jasper) and real Turquoise, Picture Jasper and sterling. After I finished it I put it aside because I remembered she might not be able to manage the lobster clasp so made her the one of the far left and put a sterling magnetic clasp on it for her. It is Aquamarine and Sea Snake Jasper and sterling.
The only part I have trouble with in making these now is attaching whatever clasps I am using. Sometimes the crimp beads and crimp covers can get hard to manage. I just get up and take a break and go back later.

It was likely @Tralfaz and/or @Skunk! who helped you before, those are the most mechanically adept in the thread.

I'm still a mechanical baby.. lol

Okay. So. Here's my thoughts for the night.

I have 57.35 in the bank. Lol.

I would like another regulated squonk mod. For real. I would also like another liter of nicotine. I would also like to purchase more empty bottles.

That's a lot of things I'd like.

I only have one regulated squonk mod, it's the topside dual. I really really like it. A lot. Plus, I have like 5 mechanical single battery squonk mods.

So I've really been leaning to feeling like I should get another topside dual before the hammer comes down.

However, this whole 30% off thing is something I'm not sure I should pass up... and they have the GeekVape Aegis squonk mod which, after coupon and with shipping comes to an affordable $36.05....

Something far more affordable than what most US sellers of topside duals are asking (those who even have any left).

However, it's the battery life of the dual as well as easy fill accessibility that I enjoy most with the topside. And I can get the 21700 single battery Topside for $59.95 shipped elsewhere which has more battery life than the 18650.

But it's a tad more cash than I have atm. So I'd have to hold my breath and hope it's still in stock in like, 10 more days.

But then, a regulated Aegis squonk for 36 is a little tempting, so I'm a wee bit torn, plus, if I pass up the sale will I regret it if I can't get the topside later when I can afford to pick it up?

And then we have to consider that IF I pick up the topside depending on how next month goes for me I may not be able to pick up just one more liter of nicotine prior to the hammer.

But then there's the cconsideration that the courts might have mercy on us and grant us an extension on the hammer, and then I'd have until September to grab another bottle of nic. Which would be super nice.

But then if I have until September I also want to grab just one more small Fasttech order too, so theres that.

So I am at this point just writing this all out... and thinking hey, I'll wait for the topside and see if it's still around in 10 days or so...

But if anyone has any ideas about the Aegis being a better squonker, then it's good to pipe up now... before the coupon code is used by evil others and the Aegis squonk disappears... lol

And, this all does seem kind of stupid in the end since I don't actually NEED any of it... lol. But this thread isn't about need darn it! Haha

    $36 for a Aegis is a very good deal, that 30% is something you only normally see at holidays, I don't squonk, so can't say it good or not, but seems a good deal to me :)

    @Rob B. is helpful at helping people spend money :thumb::lol:

    I ordered the Smok Fetch with RBA head, been itching to get one, but been holding off, that 30% off from a US seller pushed me to buy.
