Cool. Nice to hear you like it. You have a Penny mod, sweet. I almost lost the tiny little screw to make the 510 a blind pin on mine.
Thanks I’m
Noticing it’s starting to leak out the pin now. Too bad it couldn’t have just come with a solid pin instead of having to unscrew that tiny screw and putting it in the squonk pin. Looks like strictly a squonk rda. I got another one that should work good from fast tech last night. Called “v for vendetta”.


This variant rda is terrible for leaking now because there’s a screw at the bottom you tighten to convert it to a non squonk. Doesn’t work it’s tight but the juice has been pouring out of this one down my stack mech and batteries. What’s wrong with the old fashioned two replacemenable pins

I did get my second part to my fast tech order today just now that is nice. It’s my ni90 wire and fuuhattan mech mod clone.

Ordered this stuff from FT way after my source more order I placed for the rose finch mod. Still no rose finch though! Fast tech is free shipping and generally cheaper for me plus way faster than source more.

The rose finch I ordered from sourcemore way back in beginning of December. Hopefully that comes soon.

I got vapemail today - my sxk hussar v2 RDA arrived :D

View attachment 865231

This is my fave flat wire - kanthal 0.5mm x 0.2mm, 2.5mm id @ 0.68ohms.

Airflow is dual side 2 x 1.5mm. It is very much in the Venna airflow bracket. Big improvement over the v1 with a deeper well, and I get better flavour from this version too.

The size of the screwheads does make it harder to install a coil. But I did the same as I do in the v1 - wrapped the wire completely around the screw, until it was secured.View attachment 865233
Testing it out on my Hippovape Kudos :wub:
Very nice Ange. Looks sharp on the Kudos too. Flavor wise it is a very noticeable improvement over the v1. Not that the v1 is bad. The v2 just ups the flavor ante.

I've also been enjoying the Daywon RDA. It's also in the Venna airflow bracket even though it's single sided AF. Excellent flavor to boot. The Daywon, like the KRMA and KRMA Gen, was also designed by Mission XV. Love the KRMA Gen RDTA too. And I did get the AF pins kit and 2ml ext as well.

Another stunning example of the lack of proficiency of the USPS. Ordered my Authentic EHPRO MOD 101 50W TC VW Mod 101 50W TC/VW Mod, SS Color from FT on 1/9. Finally ended up in the NY USPS processing center early this morning. Instead of shipping it south towards me, they figured a trip to the far west would be the most proficient way to get it to the south. Instead of shipping it 500 miles, they decided 2,500 miles (and who knows where else from there) was a much better use of their time and resources.

Oh and there should be another saying besides Buyer Beware. It should also be Seller Beware as well. Lots of scam artists out there as I just found out. And being PayPal verified can’t weed them out.
What happened, Sara? Did someone cheat you?

I'm not a fan of tiny little screws to convert a squonk pin to a dripper either. All RDA's should come with blind pins IMO. Most do but there are some oddballs like the KRMA. IMO the KRMA is awesome on a squonker.

One of my favorite squonking resources is Squonking At Fasttech. MotoBlue keeps it as up-to-date as possible. I'm not at all sure but perhaps FT sells a generic blind pin that might fit the KRMA.

Sourcemore is strange with shipping. I've received some orders in as little as 14 days and others took well over a month. Hopefully you get your rose finch soon. FT being faster is my experience too. I received the KRMA Gen in 16 days via FT.

Well ... USPS seriously needs geography lessons. And maybe a map. Crap just give them a smartphone.

Here is one of my FT misc parts orders being bounced around. It was at a USPS facility literally five minutes from my home on the 16th and the 21st and today it's back in Chicago. Not nearly as bad as your 2500 mile journey. Go figure.

morning all.
the bb with xeta clone inside are in pocket for work along with the hadron. as I'll be the seemingly usual 2.5 hours early reaching the office i think some of that time will be spent rewicking the blotto. used to have an extensive build kit there but some idiot threw it away while i was off for a spell last year. got the basic gear in my man bag.
the requisite checking tracking marathon has been completed and informed me that none of the 6 piddly packages have felt the need to move any closer to me. not taking it to heart.
got a 3 day weekend coming up. some orange marmalade liquid mixing shall feature.
thrilling. it isn't.

yes or is trying to. Check out the classifieds feedback to get an idea of what’s happening with this guy. I can’t tell you how upset I am tonight. I’m way to trusting to be doing business transactions. It never occurred to me that not all vapers are part of a community that takes care of each other. This guy was a business owner and knows how to twists things.

see the drama on the Classifieds Feedback. I shouldn’t never made a sale with someone not from this group that I know well.

I really like that Ephro 101. Good solid feeling and could come in handy in a dark alleyway trying to find my car some night lol!!

I haven’t much experience with squonking hardware so wats a blind pin? Is that the pin that doesn’t have a channel through it to squonk with?

Honestly I’m looking forward to getting back to making my simple single wire ss coils. These aliens even the higher ohms ones use up a lot of juice and battery life. And even with the thinner wired claptons the slight delay in ramp up time is annoying to me. I don’t notice any increase flavor either.

Exactly. Most RDA's come with two 510 pins. One for dripping (blind pin) and the other for squonking.

I just finished reading the feedback. :-x Yeah, he twisted things. Can't say what I would like to but I'm sure it's very much in line with what you've already thought. I'm sorry and hope it works out for you Sara.

I get no thrills if there ain’t no Stills. ;)

@Ricky Vapes Stevie and her male buddy look sweet as pie. I hope they will be friends forever.
They have been friends for a long time already since their lumber yard days. They used to chill together and go around in pairs. Stevie and fluffy then bugs and sassy

Just read the thread. It's beyond lousy that this is happening to you (just what you need, right?). Lord knows I know how utterly trustworthy you are; it is vile that he's trying to suggest otherwise. I hope PayPal sees through his chicanery and shuts him right down. What a creep!
