    I never really took to squonking. I only have 1 though, the Kanger dripbox 2, which I wasn’t really impressed with. Perhaps if I’d purchased a higher quality one I’d like it. But I didn’t want to spend a bunch for my first time
    Eta: those are just lovely!

    Squonking is a Lot like Rock n' Roll.

    If you have a Great Bass Player (Squonk Mod) but a crummy drummer (BF RDA), it just Doesn't sound very good. Likewise, if the you have a Kick Azz Drummer but the base man is Ho-Hum, it just doesn't cut it.

    But when your Bass Man is in pocket with the Drummer, and you couple that with a Solid Keyboard Player (a Killer e-Liquid), you can achieve that Double Platinum trifecta rhythm section.

    The Dripbox 2 mod was OK. But the RDA that came with it was Poor at Best. At that point, No Amount of Quality Keyboards is going to get you to the Top of the Charts.

    I love that analogy. I wonder if it would work better with the Vandy vape mesh rda?

    Thanks... I just got done watching a Steely Dan - Aja documentary. And have B Flat 7th's going into Diminished 9's running thru my head. And I'm still Not sure exactly what a B Flat 7th's going into a Diminished 9 sounds like?

    Anyway, I think just about Any BF RDA would taste better than the one that came with the Dripbox 2.

    I'm into Plain Old Single Wire Single Coil RDA's myself. So I'm not sure who makes a good Mesh RDA?

    I’ll have to look at all of my RDAs and see if others have a squonk pin

    You know, if you've just stashed UP and you are getting into squonking NOW?

    IDK, I'll just hang out over here with those folk singers with their lone guitars or whatnot.

    The age of real music is dead, anyway,

    Pretty soon we won't be allowed to talk out loud because our words could be "auto manipulated" in far easier ways than NOW.

    Never tried squonking. The part which confuses me about squonking is once the juice in the bottle has got to the point where a tight squeeze won't release anymore juice, probably a third of the bottle used, then it kind of makes the whole point of squonking moot.

    Do you know what i mean ?.

    You use your squonker until you can't squeeze anymore juice out......... so you have to refill the bottle !!?. And the juice you used up until then is probably less than the average tank full.

    So am i missing something ?, i dunno !. As i said, i've never used one. Call me stupid.

    The feed tube runs to the bottom of the bottle. You keep squeezing it to rejuice your cotton until the bottle is almost completely empty. As the bottle gets down to about 1/3 to 1/2 full you do have to hold the squeeze an extra second but its good to go until its gone.

    Dripping without the dripping. Fully saturated wick at will.

    The best part is, that you can fully saturate the wick, but with the added benefit that you won't get any gurgling or massive spitback. Compared to dripping leaking is not that much of a problem as well, because the excess juice gets sucked back into the bottle, if you have the right RDA.

    But squonking hasn't replaced my RTAs completely, because the latter are still more convenient at times. Especially if they are top airflow RTAs.

    With all that said, I still drip a lot more than I squonk, because nothing beats the haptic and simplicity of a good mech tube.
