I sold my Coppervape on after
I Modified my NCV2s could tell the difference right away between them.

It fires nicely with a small drop as volts go down ,
Right until cut off at 3.2V
And hits as good as my Stabwood fet sqounker
can at least turn it off for safe pocket carry cant on my fet sqounker.
The wismec PCB in NC v2 is pretty good in single cell.

So can see the luxotic being ok too , theres a new release of the switchfet pcb to , 2.5 i think now .
NC v2
Was designed for the Parrarel for extra battery life, or series VV
but works
Perfectly fine as a Sqounker in single cell,
being tall can at least get the dinky plus bottles in for more capacity , 7.2ml maybe if could find one a tab bit taller might squeeze in another ml
The 5ml dinky usually has 2 refills per cell, so not bad
Probably not much different to the pico.
Apart from no onboard Charging
An no top battery cap .

Im sure this PCB could easily be put into another mod frame for a series /adjustable VV sqounker setup for thoese who want more power but im only using single coils so build accordingly no need for more power ,

Does the voltage meter still work on a modified noisy Cricket 2 25? Does it let you crank more volts out of a single battery than a straight up Mech squonker? Or would it just modulate down from 4.2 volts?

A lot of us who have bought more expensive mods are pretty much in agreement that the Pico Squeeze is the best bang for your buck.

I have one which I use as a beater, others use as their daily, many of us have more in route, some have a stock pile.

50w is a lot and more than adequate for many vapers...minus the CloudsBroClouds crowd.
It can put out ~75 Watts. Some end users measured the output of the device and it's surprise them to learn that there was no cap at 50 Watts. I had no interest in it because of the wattage cap, but now that I know that the wattage cap was FAKE NEWS

For some reason what I'm trying to communicate as getting lost in translation to everyone LOL.

When putting a 20650 battery and the squonk bottle in my mod, I had to push very hard on the button to get it to fire. I later found out that the bottle is what was causing problems. But the problem is that there's now a secondary problems with the way that the contacts were bent and the integrity of the fire switch

I personally didn't like how they rounded the contact point on that mod to fit against the 510...everything would have to align perfectly for it to be really beneficial.

If the issue you are having is that its not square when it contacts with the nut, bend it so it does. If your issue is a sloppy button, again bend the vertical part of the contact so it remedies the slop, then change the pitch angle of the point of contact to hit correctly.

Took me couple of years lol but I figured out you can spend 30 on a setup and when you push the button it makes Vapor you can also spend 200 on a setup and when you push the button Vapor comes out. Some look better or built better but.....

Sent from my LG-D850 using Tapatalk
$40 for a complete setup is more than enough to get you super high quality vaping performance and any more money spent is in the great scheme somewhat negligible wrt Improving of The Vaping experience. A custom power curve plus of vapors preferred build with more battery power behind it and you could possibly want to use... even if there's some inefficiency in the output, it's not going to result in a bad vaping experience. But there's definitely a lot of enjoyment in trying out new ways of vaping. And if you vape a lot it's worth spending a little bit of extra money on it because you hold it in use it almost as often as your smartphone (perhaps more I don't know you you was probably the wrong pronoun to use LOL)

The mod is firing fine now. The button issue isn't to contact issue it's making very good contact all the way around the arch (really annoying that there's an arch tear and the name of the electric stuff is also Arch). The plastic button gets stuck coming back into place after firing

No your in Parrarel mode , on single cell otherwise mod wouldn't work , since goes off bottom plate as well as PCB it works as same as switchfet type , but has reverse protection wont fire if cell is in wrong way ,keeps led on fire switch an flashing if cell drained or other problems TBH is pretty good , I own fet sqounker mods an this NC v2 Rocks its as good as any other good one,
Very good output performance is good , Size and rounded edges/shape make it much more comfortable that the square mods, good build construction good chip,
Feels like an expensive mod
but obviously is a lot cheaper than the higher end ones. But around same cost a god mid range due to extra parts your adding , all in all its one of my favourite mods , because its cheap i dont have to baby it an worry about taking it out if anything break buy another swap parts over simple ,

Got a black wasp last week. I have one from when they first came out and the new one vapes different. Think I figured it out. There's a gap under pos terminal. Getting more air I think. Anyone else have this?

Sent from my LG-D850 using Tapatalk
I thought just the opposite on mine.I have 2 of the original ones from when they first came out,and just got a black one a few days ago,on my 2 originals,i have to close the airflow down to about 2/3 open,but the black one i have wide open,maybe it just comes down to that great QC we all know Chinese companies have haha.

Floris finally accepted a pic to engrave. Just a silhouette of ally's black standard poodle.

Thoughts? It's not as grand as I had hoped.

I actually like it - not my kind of colors - but what a neat gift, I'd be flattered and impressed if it was for me and that was my dog :)

I think that whatever that adhesive material is that connects the button to the metal is causing the button problem. I fiddled with it a bit and I think it's working slightly better.

The "arching" came right out using hand sanitizer and toilet paper

Per my tests a Pico Squeeze hits lots harder than a Pulse BF mod.
If properly wired a switchfet mod has very minimal voltage drop.
Also hits harder than a Coppervape (recently cleaned)
And I likes my coppervapes but they are sitting on the shelf since I got Pico Squeeze.
Ecig Vapor Store has the Pico Squeeze listed for Less than $16.

https://www.ecigvaporstore.com/product/ismoka-eleaf-istick-pico-squeeze-kit/ref/4/

Use code (vapecrawler10) to grab 1 for $14.31

And yes they do have them in White.

It's firing really well I'm just concerned you guys seem to indicate that the arcing can be bad Beyond cosmetic and I don't understand why

Arcing = Not good
What is so hard to understand about that?

The Arcing happened the first day. It didn't happen for the first 30 minutes of use with a 18650 battery and then happened immediately once I put it in the 20650 battery

I just wiped it down with alcohol little bit but I'll give it a deeper clean. I'm not looking for voltage drop

Don't give it too deep of a cleaning or you'll strip the coating.If you strip that your mod/device will hit about as well as a wet noodle.

The entire kit for less than FT sells just the mod, and from a US based company?! I know the Coral RDA is pretty mediocre, but at that price I’m tempted to order it just because it’s so cheap. I just don’t know if I realistically need a second Squeeze or how I’d use it. Guess I could throw my incoming Pulse 22 on it.

Oh we understand your problem quite well.
We've seen this issue before.And we are trying to help you.


EDIT: STARTING TO WONDER IF THIS IS A PBCAC/PEBCAK ISSUE

The arc is just a spark - electricity jumping from contact to contact before they touch. Problem is it leaves a little black char, which interferes with future conductivity, so you want to remove that.
With the Armageddon, I got some arcing, and attributed it to having such low voltage drop (which is good) that the mod really wanted to contact and fire.
I have found that DeOxit gold works wonders to eliminate arcing. Literally a single drop on a bit of paper - slide that between contacts, press button, and slide it out (sorry - do this with no battery in...). This will both remove the black char, and coat the contact, improving conductivity and preventing arcing for a while.

I do NOT recommend sandpaper, as regular paper paper works to clean these contacts - while sandpaper, as mentioned, will remove the silver and permanently reduce the performance.

Wait up.
How badly is that fire button sticking?
Is it staying in the firing position after you let go of the button?

Random thought coming up...Did anybody besides me notice we were on page 666?

If your garbage pick up is free, go for it

It's well below mediocre - it is almost unvapable

Tried the coral at my friends shop recently and it was (Meh) at best and burnt + spitty at worst.I'd rather go back to using CE4's than use the coral honestly.
Just wished I had remembered to grab my Haku-Clone on the way out the door...Sigh!

Yeah so my point is that we can buy the entire kit for LESS than FT sells just the mod from a US seller. Cheaper, plus we will receive it sooner...just toss the Coral and slap another rda on. Bingo bongo, done. No need to buy from FT until this place runs out of stock.

FastTech has all the new Luxotic goodies posted up.

Wavered between the Luna & Luxotic this afternoon.. not much of a stabwood guy, that black honeycomb was calling out to me louder
; )
Opted for the silver / yellow kit on Fasttech, the Chinascus bottom plate & yellow bottles.
Then got the black honeycomb door / driptip set on 3FVape since I had some other little sh!ts in a cart there.
Also got to the post office for @BrewBear and others too finally...A good vape day all around.
; )
Annnd... got some work done finally too !
I'm SO ready for the weekend.. bring it ON.

I believe that is where I ordered 2 more Dripbox2's from.

Yep just checked.

Under $17 each if I recall.

Just looked and no more Dripbox2's.

And I think that $40 is their free shipping break point.

I was a bit short so I threw in a Kanger Kbox mini Platinum.

Yeah I know not white but silver is ok :)
Like my Coppervapes.

You go JL, let them have it!
I opted to get my Pico squeezes from FT, I refuse to buy from a place where you must meet a minimum purchase requirement before they give you a shipping option. The place linked to above had the Pico kit for $15.90 but you have to get $30 more crap for the cart to show a shipping option. No thanks.

Yep the DB2's may well be my only order from them.
Got an email saying that it all had shipped though.
Wonder where they are?
