ya have a link?between the folks here im sure we could get enuff of us to get a 15 clone stumpy going on...thoughts?they are clones ??i dont have the coin for a 127$ auth one.thats what they used to be with shipping anyways.

I'd do it but: sellers that promise DHL balk and back track out of the deal when they see what DHL charges to ship to my address, and, I'm gonna be out of town in a couple of weeks and would not be able to reship if time became an issue

There are CLONE manufacturers now establishing a "brand" that people look for - building a reputation for quality.
No shit.

So "SXK" is a clone-maker, and people trust that an SXK clone will be better than a no-name.
You'll also see SJMY, another one...


oh well,maybe ill like them some much i couldnt let one go...lol.i actually bought a pair of each that i sent off for.the lp goon clone is lookin like it may be a decent vape...what the hell is the sxk in front of some of the clones?new to this clone/bf'ing stuff.but way more fun then costing 150$ a piece for a freakin atty...hell even 50$ is too much!just got tired of gettin took for mods and atty's.

started by making my own dna200 instead of payin 450...sorry 425$ for a little bit cheaper mod!i must be honest,i did buy a lbc dna200 but when i got it thier were so many fuckups on it that i couldnt get over it.i cant remember who it was but someone gave me 400$(maker of the mod found someone) for it so i lost 25$ on it.was a nice mod but dayyyum i just couldnt get over it being a blem...basically. for full price.then the bullshit excuse i got from the maker really didnt sit well with me.

hell i couldnt make myself even buy the 200$ one from lostvape,they were nice looking but man 200$ is a bunch of money to this poor bastard.i ended up building 2 dna 200 of my own.yeah they aint all fancey like some of the ones out but i only have like 125$ and my time in them.i have a shell ready for another dna 200 but i havent tore one of the 2 i have apart yet to put the guts into the shell.the steamcrave 50 watt is one i gutted and made into a dna200.ya have to be careful and not over squonk so ya dont get a buncha juice into the battery/chip space.but its been a nice lil mod.ive dropped it idk how many times when im sleep vaping...lol.mashes hell out of toes though let me tell ya!!!OUCHim pretty proud of my homeade dna200 mods.i need to try a mech and see how a dually mech 18650 would come out.friend of mine has some metal lathes and wood working tools...i think we could come up with a nice mech between the 2 of us.he doesnt vape or smoke but likes to make money...lol.so im thinkin a dual 18650(mech) squonker for a fair price would go over good..whats ya'lls thoughts?View attachment 68109

I have 2 Stumpy clones like them. Only way to convert them is to drill a hole or slit the insulator

Yes - but that place Cromwell found will sell just one


im pretty sure i wouldnt have a prob sellin them but way easier to just buy the 2 or 3 id want then to have to buy all 10...as long as the FDV pins work it would be slick.

hey JL,i never had my pin out of my auth stumpy...but now i have and its not like the other pins are from FDV...small or large.ima just go with the v3 derringer and not mess with the stumpy clone.its like a tiny buttonhead screw that screws into another threaded insert thats in the stumpy.tiny lil hole for juice to flow...no wonder its hard to push my vg juice in that thing.im sure it'd be a bitch to drill that thing too.

I never pulled mine either - never had too. Which is odd, because the first thing I usually do with a new acquisition is take it down to the skeleton.

I was just so happy to get one it got a cursory cleaning and has been in steady use ever since :giggle:

Might revisit the Derringer if it really is on par - I'll wait to see what you think because you do know the difference

the two post derringer is good

my beef with it is the posts are huge and take up more deck space than the thinner stumpy posts

so it is a bit fiddlier to build

hope that makes sense

btw, stumpy takes 2.5 fdv pin, need to trim it so far you have no grip for the allen key, so grind down, insert and grind more

I ordered 5 stumpies through dhgate

Dhgate set a 5 business day deadline. On the 4th day the supplier requested an extension.

They then informed me the manufacturer no longer makes them. So offered me velocities for the money I'd already paid.

I requested a refund

Seller told me to click "cancel order" so i did. Stating reason out of stock.

Seller immediately contacted me saying there is a quicker way. Please cancel the refund request. So I did. The site said i could not resubmit if i cancelled the cancel request. But seller said there is a quicker way.

It didn't end there. I eventually got my money back after a month.

So just send a query first

Ohh did not realize that.
Nice little clone though. May well be even tastier than the Narda. And I like the air.

Got my O-Atty from Focal yesterday, so far it's a love - hate relationship.

Comparing to the NarDa: angled airflow....a step in the right direction, seems to preform smoother and more leak resistant, intensity and flavor seem to be on par or maybe a smidge better, close either way. Wire clamps....a complete fail, ruined my first build working with them then removed one side, it helped but getting it back in was a pita with keeping the wire in place and trying to keep the clamp from spinning.

I did a simple 316l spaced 3mm 8 wrap build and it's preforming great, which is a good thing because I don't want to mess with the clamps again. I'll be looking for some replacement screws and happily throw those clamps in the trash.

Where did you get the tip for it?

Sent from my HTC Desire Eye using Tapatalk

it's one of these from Fasttech. i did have to sand around the base of the dt to make it fit as they are a little too big. i just hand sanded for about 5 minutes and now it fits nicely. they fit my limitless+ rdta very well without modification. these tips are a fantastic deal if you dont mind waiting 2-3 weeks to get them. if you buy them in the US, you'll be lucky to score 1 dt like this for the price of the entire set.

just a note...when i build my goon i precut the legs on both coils and instead of using a rod/screwdrvr to hold the coils i just hold them with my thumb and forfinger....tighten clamps and then put the rod/screwdrvr in and reposition the coils...hoping it works with the o-atty and all the other atty with the dumbass clamp system.and wow the posts are HUGE on the v3 derringer!ima get one and see what trimming i can do on the HUGEassed posts!i think ill try to get a stumpy clone from

This is mine with an m2.5

c751c56b2db6206b53feff29da474377.jpg


That leaves less than 1/2 a mm for the allen key to grab. So can't take it further down.

I drilled a hole in the stumpy deck too to let juice through.

It leaves a gap with most mods. I'm keeping it for my giggy nutpunch in march.

gaps dont bother me at all,im not that add about that stuff.if ya have any pics of the deck id like to see it.or is it just drilled like my auth stumpy?made it bigger did ya?guess ill have to get 1 stumpy clone to see what it looks like.i really dont like cutting the insulaters to make a bf mod.tmod Tom almost has my dually redone and is sending a bigger bf pin for the 26650 tmod that i got from mommabird...way back.idc what folks say about 26650 batts,ive had good luck with the 2 purple efest and the 1 green one i run.dually tmod lasts way longer with the 2 18650 though.have a great day man...er nite.... whichever it is for ya now...ha ha

i'll get a deck pic when i rebuild it, covered by a centred coil atm

but the positive post has the flat bit across the deck, i just drilled a 1/16 hole in that

pretty shallow, so no concerns with snapping bits in there on my drill press

I read somewhere that one of the squonkers that posts here has a HoG V3, and just wanted to throw out there that I have a Tmod single 18650 that I would trade for that.

...and To Whom It May Concern; if the space bar and shift key (making it impossible to capitalize the first word of a sentence) on your keyboard has malfunctioned, forego the next atty clone investment and get a new keyboard. They are really inexpensive...
