Thanks! I'll check on them, would prefer us, but I'd suppose all that stuff sold out already.
Importation is still an issue, and if the supplier still has stock, I'd like to put it to good use... Does my profile not say I'm US based? Lemmie checkIt's always nice to have options that will NOT be impacted by the FDA.

I like the V3 as well.
Yes, it does! Thanks, sorry for the lack of research on my part, I'm sure I could have figured out the interchangeability of connectors... Speaking of, I've found a US supplier of dna75c boards, and realizing that I will more than likely kill the boards in the mods I have before the 510 connectors fail. As such, I think the best option is to work up a 3D printed housing for the topside connectors I have and bottle, with that board... I'll have enough spares to last, as long as I can protect the chip and screen well enough.I like the V3 as well.
I don't think them disposable, but the are more like the REO ss510. Few points of failure and parts easily swapped between units.
You may find, since standard 510 threading is used internally on every 510 connector, parts are generally interchangeable across manufacturers/brands.

I'm well aware of the need for revisions with production, but are you also saying repurposing the 510 and squonk setup from an existing mod is near futile or at least prone to failures also? This isn't my only doomsday plan, as I still have other mods ordered, just a way of making the heavy pig of a mod that the 90w was into something more pocket friendly. I figure I have plenty of bottles, and three total topsides, so I should have a decent shot over the years of perfecting it before it's needed. If not, I'm sure I can get a 510 from somewhere to satisfy a good bf mod...
Love the way you think, but I'm more of a "take that VW flat 4, an AWD from an Audi, and the chassis of a Volvo, slap it all together with a turbo, then take the resulting WRX, chip it to remove the governors, raise the red line a touch, and sneak some flat foot shifting and launch control in for good measure" kinda guy.... Shame I had to convince my girlfriend at the time to let me do that to her car, as I'm so blind, I'm not allowed to drive on the street. But I love a good old air cooled, fix it with a socket wrench, don't blow a tire in the rain cause the spare tire pressure is used to push wiper fluid kinda car.... The air cooled porsches have a lovely sound to boot...For me, regulated squonkers are far less reliable than simple mech squonks.
I have skipped all of the above for various reasons. (loved the look of the Squeeze2, but the bottle type and that fire button position...)
The board from my Hotcig RSQ might get repurposed, but the rest of the unit is headed for the trash. The RSQ had a horrible 510 and the metal body makes it hard to easily convert, safely, to a mech.
My first Massmods S2 (mosfet) is scheduled for conversion to a mech. The spring loaded 510 leaked from day one and had connection issues due to a weak spring.
A robust, non spring loaded 510, a delrin button and a strip of copper/silver should bring it back to better than new.
I guess I'm an air-cooled VW guy at heart.

Yeah, I get that they all leak, I'm just trying to figure out a good way to get a nice bf 510 or two, and enough spare parts to tune them up. Never disassembled or built our, so I'm not sure other than the spring loosing tension or the metal or insulator wearing, what specific parts to look at. If I could find a supplier that had high quality metal work and a dna75c or two, that's be the dream...
The pulse v2 is my other option for a retrofit..
