So post surgery and post smoking I have been eating a LOT and starting to gain weight around the midsection. I am going to get a gym membership again. Haven't had one in years. I was looking at a Redline 24" Cruiser BMX the other day. I think I will get it. I was good on a bike when I was smoking, I would love to see the difference. Not smoking, or drinking and recovered from surgery I feel better than I did in my 20's.

There is a name I haven’t heard in a while. One of my favorite bikes back when I use to shred BMX in the 80’s. Owned a few Redlines, MXIII, PL 20 etc. but by far my favorite was the original RL 20, pre dual top tube and peg inserts. Serial number 00055. Was also my last BMX bike – dislocated my hip on it and decided to get out of BMX. Traded it for a Suzuki GS650 with a guy down the street from me who lost his licence due to reckless riding.

Good morning shiners! Pretty quiet around here waiting on that bargain Cut squonk to swim across the Pacific. That and the imminent Drone launch to keep an eye out for. Otherwise trying to finish up the holiday gift shopping list.

That is, the list for me. Everyone else is on their own. Actually I'm almost done with that gift list. I used to be terrible about it, running around to stores at the last minute. Now all I have to do is be sure I've got a decent charge on my phone and the only running around I do is to refill my coffee cup. Life is so much easier this way.

Good morning Shiny's.
@lupinehorror so good to see you out and about. :wub:

@Sickbxy handsome BB, the new panels and button would be stunning!

@NolaMel BB rabbit hole is deep.;)
I think I’ve found enough rabbit holes to keep me busy. Mine seem to be full of squirrels ;) though, not rabbits. Perhaps Santa will bring me some blinders like horses wear for Christmas :oops:

My contest win Delta Kit by Revenant & T.V.L. showed up today from vaporesso. :thumbs:

I'm going to put an SS316L flat wire build in it here at work and test it out.

The first thing I don't care much for is no way to clean it other than to put some water in the tank and pump it through it with the squonk button. Unlike other squonkers that are a direct tube from the bottle to the 510, this has a pump mechanism in the upper section. The juice reservoir that slides in from the bottom is heavy plastic and easy to clean since the whole top of that is open. It's more like a D shaped cup :drool: than the standard bottle we are so accustomed too.

My box doesn't have the colorful graphics that is shown in some of the reviews, so this is probably a sample unit. Either way I'll do up a small review to fulfill my obligation for the contest winand here's hoping it's a decent starter squonker.

I asked for the Gold & Silver version but the only ones Vaporesso had were the Rainbow... :(

Nice. Kinda like the rainbow look on that mod. Some devices wear it well, so do not. Be interested in seeing pictures of the bottle….still trying to figure out how this functions.

Mine is full of juice at the moment, here is a grab from TVL's video on the mod. The bottle is a open top D shaped plastic tube with a valve in the bottom. I'm quite sure it is an air pump for the squonking mechanism, pump air into the reservoir and that will force juice up the 510 tube. This should lead to no cleaning of the squonk mechanism at all.

Here is that grab.

That's kind of cool. I do that with my camelback water bottle unintentionally when i'm chain drinking and browsing the internet. I breathe into the straw and let the pressure shoot the water into my mouth.

Only problem I see is that it could have the Spruzza issue when once it squirts out, it doesn't get drawn back into the bottle. Personally, I like squonking better than dripping because I like to bring my juice level up to my coils for full saturation and then let it go back into the bottle.

So for me, this indicates that the vape will be more dripper-like than squonker-like. Plus depending on your RDA, a high pressure squirt of juice could get in your eyes. I've definitely been an idiot and shot myself in the glasses with juice.

Also makes me wonder since it has "one standard unit of squonk", what happens to smaller decked RDAs like the Armor where it might need a 0.5 unit of squonk? Or something like the KRMA or Citadel where it might need 1.5? I'm either under squonking or over squonking since the juice doesn't get sucked down?

F’n awesome!! :thumb: Now ride it like it’s stolen!

Good 30 years since I’ve been on a BMX. Migrated to Mountain biking, downhill and freeride - which despite my injuries with BMX, also came with it’s fair share of bumps, bruises and broken bones. Just keep in mind, the older you get, the harder you fall. Gravity is funny in that way.

The pump mechanism requires quite a few pumps to get juice up to the RDA so I don't think there is much chance of getting squirted. The included RDA has juice come out on top of the deck (mesh compatible clamps) like the VandyVape Mesh RDA, I'll have to try a B2K on it later.

Just took it out for a ride. Ended up going for about 10 miles. This thing's sick. So light and so fast.
