Squape Reloaded Clone

[petemoss]

I sanded the post screws and the 510 screw. Its working now. My wicking needs work though because I'm getting some dry hits. I used Busardo's build on the wide deck, but I'm going to go watch some other vids.

Congrats roxy! I enjoy watching Busardo's videos but he's a caveman when it comes to builds. Ever see the torch he uses? A huge loud plumber's propane tank! If you are having problems with dry hits, I'd hazard a guess that you are using cotton and overstuffing the coil. I use rayon and couldn't choke the coil no matter how tight I stuff it. I trim my wick flush to the vertical juice channel with no tail at all in the channel. Once you get the density right, I'm sure you'll have no more problems - you've had enough problems with this clone!

If you all have some xc116 laying around I made a build that kinda adds juice flow control. It works pretty well but to adjust it you need tweezers to tug at the wick.

1.2 ohms at 13-16 watts, I keep getting a dry hit every 4th or so hit. Any wicking tips? EHPro version here.

Probably your wicking I'm vaping 1.3 ohm at 30 watts no leaks or dry hits with the c deck

After a few days of constantly using the Squape R, I've come to the conclusion that although it's good - it's not amazing.
The Rose V2 beats the Squape R hands down.

I agree... The juice flow control is great... Only thing I don't like is the air flow and drip tip customization

Cut the wick shorter but if you cut it too short it will flood. If you're using cotton make sure it's not too tight in the coil.

Ok, this is what's wrong with my SqR. It isn't my build. One of my post screws is unscrewing itself when I put the build deck onto the tank. I get it as tight as I can. But then it unscrews itself and the resistance goes sky high. And at one point it even caused rayon to flame up!

I don't know what I can do about this. I see it as a major safety problem. I was in there 8 times between midnight and 2am fixing it.

I'm going to see if FC will send me a new build deck. After the o ring thing I don't want to send the whole thing back

As previously mentioned, if your having problems where the Ohms are fluctuating (mine was going from about 0.5 to 8.5 then NON-ing) then the fix is to get a bit of sandpaper, and lightly sand the deck screws and the center pin...

Here was me thinking I'd wasted another £35 on a clone...

I did all that. A post screw is either too loose because its unscrewing OR that chimney is unscrewing it as I tighten the base to the tank. The heads of those post screws are big. And pretty close to the edge of the deck. I would like to try some different ones and see if that solves the problem.

Get some Teflon tape and only tape a smal section of the screw so part of the screw can still make contact but some is covered in the tape.. This should give it enough stickiness to stop backing out..

I was wondering if I could do that. If the chimney is causing it, which I strongly suspect, screws with smaller heads would solve it. I think it might be the chimney because those screws are tight as hell. Then I put on the tank and boom, resistance shoots up. I take off the tank and one of the screws is loose.

Hem the tank shouldn't hit the screws... Maybe try filing down the screw head so it has more clearance

This https://www.fasttech.com/products/1899301

appears to be the Coppevape one in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrkt6T39ge4

although in the video the tank o'rings are black and the fast tech ones white

could be the same or maybe they are cloning the clone box now

 

[LazyBulldogge]

Based on the box design, it's the Coppervape clone I've got - and it's working rather flawless actually
Ordered the one linked to above from SlowTech, hoping that it's the exact same - time will tell, I guess

That chimney piece has very little clearance around the deck. And the post screws have very large heads that go right to the edge of the deck. What else could it be? Screw is tight and I can't budge it, but I screw the base onto the tank and it unscrews. Over and over. It has to be the chimney doing it.

This is the Ivogo clone from FC. It has a white box.

Tomorrow I'm going to test my theory of the chimney unscrewing the post screw. If that's the cause I'm going to look for replacement screws with smaller heads.

I have hours into this thing now. Between the o rings, ematal on screws and the mysterious unscrewing post screw. I don't want to return it, I want it to work right.

For what its worth, it is a cool atty. It looks great and makes a cool sound when you fire it.

 

[Monotremata]

That doesn't really make sense its the chimney. The threads for both the screws and chimney go the same way (right is tight, left is loose).. The only way tightening the chimney would loosen those is if the threading on one was reversed.

You sure you didn't take any material off the screws when you sanded em?? Maybe the cheapy Chinese metal wore off and now the threads don't fit??

Roxynoodle, just thinking that your chimney may not be screwed all the way into the top cap. Have you tried to unscrew and re-screw the chimney with the hex key?
I noticed that the clone post screws are much bigger than the original screws. The heads are wider but I wonder if the threaded part is the same size. I measured my post screws and they are 1.93 mm in diameter at the threaded part. Do you see any scratches on the chimney where the screw heads may touch?

 

[roxynoodle]

I bought some new flat head ones to try. They are M3 for this clone. At one point the chimney did unscrew itself during my trouble. Maybe that was part of the problem.

another update on the 2 squape reloaded clones I got from focalecig the post screws have started rusting, man I have never had so many problems with a clone I cant wait to see what focalecig is going to do about this I hope they take care of me.
