I tried that method and now the inside of the tube gets juices around the part that connects to the nipple which was nice and dry. Now the tube slides on really easy and you lost that nice and tight dry seal before. And now when you squonk, it leaks at that wet and sloppy nipple connection. Then you have to clean the tube and nipple and start all over again.
I do that with all 12+ of my squonk mods and never had an issue. Even if it does get juice on the 510 tube.

Edit- I should also mention that I will actually put juice on a new 510 tube so the silicone tube will slide onto it easier.

I tried that with my Therions once and the hose pops off trying to squonk. They have to be dry or they pop off. I learned my lesson and I will never get that connection juiced up.

EDIT: Plus you have juice dripping down from the nipple from the RDA, then juice drops down to the bottom of the mod. All not good in my book.

I've never had a bottle pop off from squonking it. I am not sure your doing it right, you have a lot of weird issues that I've not seen...

Doing it right? :lol: You would never do that again either if you found 5ml of juice inside of your mod. I am just warning you before it happens. Learn now, or learn later. I don't care.

And it isn't true about problems that others doesn't have. Tony B even talked about the leaking in his video. Vandy Vape added that extra o-ring around their Pulse X RDA because of the leaking issue. It seems everyone knows about these things except you. Why is that?

    I have strictly used squonk mods for almost a solid year daily. Not once have i had a bottle pop off and I fill the bottle outside of the mod multiple times a day. Either your squeezing your bottle like it owes you money, or it is some other user error.

    I am not talking about the well documented pulse 510 leaking issue, but some of your other issues like the silicone tube leaking from the 510 tube being wet, and bottles popping off.

    Got any Therions BF Zaryk? If so try it. Just a simple touch of the bottle with a wet tube and nipple and it pops right off. And it makes sense too if you think about it. Get that part all slippery and it will come off super easy. Will it hold pressure better? Absolutely not. And every time you remove the tube you have juice dripping down through the 510 and the RDA. That's another problem.

    I don't have a thereon, but it uses the same set up as all of my squonk mods. I did a search and found zero issues about it. I wet my 510 tubes intentionally on all of my squonk mods and zero issues. It seems to be an issue you have that nobody else talks about, or nobody else actually has this issue, and there are a lot of thereon owners out there, and something would have been said by now.

    Wrong bottle with too big of a silicone tube or pushing the bottle to hard, those are the only reasons I can think of why it would happen. It isn't because it is wet, or more than just your mod would do it and that design would have been updated to something better by now, which it has not because it does work.

    Your not going to convince me that the 510 tube being wet causes bottles to pop off or leak. I have attached a bottle to a wet tube probably 1000+ times with no issue. So I know for a fact it is not an issue.

    I got the Therion BF DNA75c. It's an ok mod, haven't had issues with the bottle. My main issue is the battery wrap gets ripped every so often. :( Also I'm not getting good battery life out of it :( I don't know if it's my theme or TC. Ok I'm using a bit more watts than my pulse, but I was expecting it to be better than my pulse for the price I paid for it. Other than that I still like it as it gives an awesome vape in TC, slightly better than my pulse 80watt.

    The Therion and removing and replacing the battery is really easy without damaging the wrap. Its the positive side you have to worry about. When removing, keep your finger at the top so it doesn't move while you pull the negative side out. Once the negative side pops out. The positive just drops out of place.

    Inserting, just insert the negative first barely on the spring and compress it down. Now the positive will slide right into place without touching the wrap. Release the pressure on the negative and slide the negative side all the way in. It's really easy that way and I pull them in and out all day without any wrap damage.

    Why not? Just slide a tube dry on the nipple on and off. See how hard that is? Now juice it up and now see how slippery it becomes. It only takes the smarts of a 3 year old to figure it out.

    Oh thank you very very much. Your technique works. Thanks again. I am so happy now :D

    I've done both ways, wet and dry. Neither leak or pop off. But it dont matter what i say now does it, you will keep babbling on about this nonsense.

    I'm done here, you are a couple bricks short of a load and it just isn't worth the effort.

    pfff! That is hilarious Zaryk. A three year old could figure it out, but it has you stumped. And you want to accuse someone else of a couple bricks short of a load?

    Only one having this problem - blames it on physics
    Others using the same set up - problem is nonexistent

    Yeah, a few bricks short.

    Instead of blaming physics, figure out why it is only you having this problem. If the straw pops off, it's likely too big (id) or it could be too short of a straw to remain in place, or you are pushing the bottle too hard building up pressure too fast... There are plenty of other reasons besides "it's slippery and won't work for me" that comes to mind, especially when it is proven that the slippery factor is a not an issue for pretty much everyone else.

    You may think you nailed the heart of the issue, but you are wrong. If you were right, then why has this "design flaw" not been noticed by anyone else and addressed in the decade that this design has been used? I am certain it would have been noticed by more than just you in that amount of time.

    But believe what you will, it's not me that has to worry about it. I just jam mine on, wet or dry, and it performs flawlessly every single time. (Yay me! i defy physics!)

    Let me check where I bought mine at...

    Oh 8vape. :facepalm: Two months ago. Well forget that idea. :( It was a good one though. :) I guess it is still useful for a tank or a dripper.
    MyVPro is the VV US Service Center. I believe they will warranty the mod for 6 months regardless of whether or not you bought it from them.

    Give it a shot. You can have them send the replacement to me if you don't want it. I'll add it to my Pulse collection. :D

    So my thoughts after 12 hours with this mod (6 of them sleeping)

    I bought the X as I wanted a backup/2nd pulse 80w. I bought the kit for the specific reason of trying the new RDA.

    First the color - it really is not red. It is more violet/purple then red. The purple drip tip that came with it is almost a perfect match color wise. That said I do like the color so no complaints, just wanted everyone to know who has not seen this in person.

    The Mod is 1mm wider than the 80w. the battery compartment is also much deeper and wider - i do believe the change the design to accommodate an 21700. It looks like it will fit one, but I do not have any, so take the word of those that do (earlier in this thread). It looks like it they are saying this is a very tight fit for one, which is too bad as I was thinking about picking some up, but with my .25 build at 45W 1 20700 = 1 bottle of juice and I am fine with that. I was happy with the 80w with this.

    The rest of the mod is the same as the 80w. Same features as in the latest update and look 90w. Holding it, I do not notice the difference between the 80w and the x (I cant tell visually either unless they are side by side) but I have big hands and both mods are small to me. I really do love the feel of the G10 material.

    First thoughts on the RDA - I like it (as of now). It seems to have a smoother airflow than the pulse 24. It was very easy to build on surprisingly (I was expecting it to be a pain). The well is very deep and you can fit a lot of cotton in there if you want. I have not yet over squonked - something I did within 10 minutes of owning the 24.

    I am still within that first week of a new shinny with it, so before I go jump off the deep end and order 10 of them, I will be taking a few weeks and running both the 24 and the X with the same build, same juice, same wattage and see which one I am reaching for more.

    Any questions ask away - I will answer what I can.
