Welp, it was bound to happen, I had my first experience with a 'cooler than thou' modder.
Not gonna go into details cause it's not my style, but an interesting situation after years of being lucky with the cool modder types.
Y'know, when modders actually DID something.
Now all it takes is a wholesale order with a 3D Printing facility & a handful of Modmaker 510's and and alla the sudden you're the fcuking Pope.

Was it by any chance our favorite modder out of Belgium? Mr "Ralphy"

Ha no, I actually get a long with Raphael quite well. He's not so bad, just struggles pretty terribly with English and it creates some significant problems.
It's also important to realize that we don't speak English, we speak / write in American.
Totally different tone.
Whenever I'm dealing with foreigners I craft my messages a little differently.

Didn't help me in this case though!

Oi! What're you on about? Are you inferring that we yanks are incapable of writing/speaking proper Queen's English.

You Sur, have offended my honor. We shall settle this matter in the time honored southern tradition. Rest assured, my second will be calling upon your second at daybreak to set time for the duel. Weapon of choice will not be any loud, boisterous American guns... rather the British Naval hanger. For I surmise, that after a mere 60 seconds of wielding that 3.7lb sword with your wimpy french arm, exhaustion will prevail, thereby assuring me the victory, restoration of honor and settling the fact, once and for all that we Americans can speak proper...

Ok, so maybe we modify (butcher?) the English language a bit. I'll give you that one. :giggle:

Capable? Certainly.
Execution is a different story altogether, and in reference to corresponding with a certain Belgian modder, some of the 'english' in the PMs that were posted here was...*gasp!*
(puts French pinkie finger to lips like a poof)
; )

And speaking of execution... I accept your duel, and so does my wimpy ass arm ; )
...and the rest of my royal wimpiness too!

Viva La Francofornia ....Dude!!

I don't think it is just yanks. Even in England I think only a small pocket speak true to queen's English.

I'm trying to communicate with Italy. But mostly struggling with time zones

Haha, don't mind me mate. I've just read way too many novels by Dewey Lambdin and C.S. Forester.

Unfortunately, even the 'capable' aspect is debatable with regards to perhaps a large portion of our population.

Ohh yeah, not limiting us Yanks to the butchering, you Australians are in the mix too!
I worked the America's Cup in 2013 with a couple Aussie guys... so fcuking funny mate, really snarky and clever... they could've been a comedy duo!

Oh don't mind me either, I'm the LAST one to critique what proper communication should be. Dude I say 'dude' ALL the time Dude.
Started as a joke in the early 80's making fun of the SoCal guys and now I have terminal Dude Syndrome.

Edit: when I first saw the Dude/Sweet tattoo scene in 'Dude, Where's My Car' I about ruptured my spleen laughing. So perfect.

Reminds me of when I served in the infantry and we got a platoon sergeant from the British Army for one year. Sort of like the military version of student foreign exchange. That guy was awesome as hell... bloke, tosser, wanker, etc. He really expanded my vocabulary. It was hilarious because in the beginning I was always asking him to repeat what he said (damn heavy accent) and he'd return the favor since he could barely understand my southern drawl. Good times.

The image I sent Floris is apparently terrible to work with. He says he is overwhelmed with work ATM.

People who know me know that patience is not my strong point. But I am being pretty zen about it. It is for a late April birthday so I have time

Anybody know where is a good place to buy 2x700 batteries? All the Chinese shops won't ship to North America, the few I have found in Canada want $25 a battery. Curious where everyone is getting 2x700's for a decent price. My two Sanyo 20700B's are ok batts, don't do too well when you start asking them to pump out 15A consistently.

Squonk Merica Group Buys on FB is doing a battery buy soon. There will be Vapcell 20700s (Sanyo A rewraps) and Golisi S35 21700s. $12 each plus shipping I believe.

I get mine from Canvape :) 20700 & 21700 Ijoy's for $15 & $16
You can find the batteries for less in the states, But with Shipping & Exchange, comes out to about the same price to get them Here in Canada :)

Ahh yes Canvape! Forgot about them! Thanks!

I have been buying most of my 18650's from Illumn, even with shipping and exchange it still works out cheaper than buying locally. Illumn doesn't have much for 2x700.

Orbtronics is good also, Shipping to Canada isn't to bad :) They also have a poor selection of 2X700's, Sanyo "B's" & Samsung 48g, both low amps :(
I cant complain about the Ijoy's, I run both 20 & 21700's 30 & 24 amps, More suted to my vaping style

I changed the squonk bottle in my Armageddon box mod so that I could fire a 20650 battery without pushing super hard on the button. But now the button gives a little click as it sets back to neutral after firing. Like it's catching something. And I'm worried it's just going to get worse over time. Is there any reason to believe that over pressing the button because of the oversized squonk bottle? Is it normal to have a little click like that?

And if you have experience fixing a button that catches?

And Im losing a ton of juice due to leaking using the squonk bottle from the Funky Squonk kit. Is there any way to make sure the seal between the tube and the metal 510 connector?

On closer inspection the tube is way too wide. When I pulled the squonk bottle out of the Armageddon, the bottle pulled out but the tubing was pretty solidly stuck. This one slides right out.

I am very excited for this to drop, hopefully with a randomizer list and not an F5 war on their webstore.

I like it better than the Dual setup.

Yeah better battery life, I love my Custom Classic parallel but this triple parallel and certainly cost I very well may pick it up. That is as long as the build quality is there. The only thing holding me back is the proprietary bottle, that's raising a flag for me.

I had the pre-Defiant Driptech model, wayyy too fiddly for me. Sold it within a week.
But I think our first ladybonk @JuicyLucy is a fan, no?

Edit: or maybe she's rocking the dual.
I didn't know what they meant when they called it the defiant version. Is there a big difference in the second version?

Maybe try the old tube in the new bottle. May have to get you an smjy bottle from somewhere like fasttech. Smaller collar on the bottle itself. Not sure buddy

Some proprietary 510s have a slightly larger connector, although they utilize the same 2x4 tubing ( some bottles use a 2x5) they can stretch in time from repeated removal and or retain the size that it originally was for than what its being used for now.

Tubing is fairly cheap, couple bucks... and if you're into that kind of thing, buy different color tubing similar to that found here...

A lot of conjucture shrouding the branding / manufacturing process.
The 528 die-hards are praising the switch over, likening it to 'more affordable but with the same high quality 528 is known for'
The rest are calling bullsh!t accusing 528 of just re-branding Chinese stuff and Driptech wants no part of it.
We'll never know the REAL story but I'm with the latter. Even though I'm a big Goon fan, Dotmod, etc.. some of these 'American' brands are full of it.
Same ol same ol...

Just like this famous spy pic that was posted awhile back in the Fasttech forum of the soon-to-be-released SJMY (YFTK) ultem squonk, it disappeared and then 'magically' a couple of months later Armageddon released their squonk line.
EXACTLY the same mod.

Edit: all that aside, the Armageddon squonk is a damn fine mod. Bomber hitter.
Likely they saw a good opportunity and ran with it.
