Just checked,
Same battery model (LGHG2) and bought at the same time, rotated the same number of cycles.
Starting voltage fresh 4.24
Same Nuppin built at 0.55 ohms
Firing voltage at atty: 3.73

So:
Squeeze came in at 0.4 ohms v-drop
Dripbox came in at 0.51 ohms v-drop

Again - both are better than I really expected...
I tend to just go by "gut feel" and either "it's good" or "something sucks about this mod". LOL

But now I'm all curious, and might measure some of my other ones too...

How does this voltage drop compare to the small kanger dripbox?

Really great to have decent and affordable mass produced squonkers around. I have a couple of kangers for going out and about and they're not bad at all I have to say.

"Out and about" for me is still my first Reo grand.
Coppervape came along a couple times, too.
Dripbox is for "out and a fair chance I'll lose it".
Not sure what the Squeeze is for, lol.
:D:D:D

For my beer peeps, @Henry Etta and @penguiness...

Tonight's line up to watch the NLDS... Go Nats!. To that end, I will be swilling a Richmond, VA born 12% ABV brew which I'm sure will be good luck. Rolling the triple Vega/Fury combo for the game.

Oh HELL yeah! Go Nats for sure (tho I don't give a sh#t about baseball, but if I did, that's who I'd be watching) and am a huge fury fan. But most importantly-- I am SO JEALOUS of that beer right there...
This whole thing just makes me miss the east coast so much. Bourbon barrel aged beer season starts NOW.
:toast:
:party:

vaping priorities first: the Fury is my #1 atty - crazy flavor, typical Hellfire quality, super easy to build.

Now, the beer... it's pretty good. Malty, alcohol-y, oakey with some caramel on the palate. Can't speak to the nose since I can't smell .... right now due to a cold. I'd hit it again, that's for sure.

Just bought a Galctika Vega 2.1 online! Anyone have one and do they like it? Pros/Cons?

I'm not sure of the differences between the Vega versions but I have no qualms with mine with the caveat that the copper contacts do require a bit of maintenance.

Sweet! What kind of maintenance like a mech tube?

I hit the positive and negative battery contacts with 1200 grit sand paper. I also hit the switch contact area as shown in the pics. Slide some 1200 in there, lightly press the fire button, and work it back and forth a bit. Short of a complete disassembly, this is the best routine I've found.

Ok cool. How often do you do this process?

Had a great Bourbon barrel stout not too long ago, tasty stuff for sure!

What's your build on the fury? I got lucky the first time with dual 27g, and I loved it. but subsequent rebuildings have gotten more difficult, and I'm finding it more of a pain to build on...

Dual 26ga SS316L, 2.5mm, 9 wraps to net 0.30Ω is my go to Fury mech build. Instant ramp up, great vapor production, and huge flavor. Conversely from your experience, I find the Fury to be one the easiest to build attys I own.
