Squonkers are Bonkers

[PoppaVic]

It means women look best in yoga pants especially older yoga pants that have become damn near see-through.

OK, be honest - some womenz should not even be seen in a burlap sack..
That said, enjoy..

Love the double vision as a squonker but man is it thirsty.

@JuicyLucy , thanks a bunch!!!! I'm in Odis 16 hell! I have two of them and want another!!!!! Any chance they'll have a sale any time soon?

NO idea - but I still need a clear cap or two or three

I checked their website and they have hadaly bf pins but not Entheon. So I took one out of one of my hadaly and it fits. Yay.. so I ordered one. Not sure where psyclone is but it's on the way. Want to have everything ready when the orca gets here.

Heya dude,
Sent ya a note earlier, dunno where me head is at! Of course the Entheon came with a BF pin, was thinking about it and I believe I swapped it out for a normal pin and had it on my desk on a FourNine mech for a day or two, it got put back in the baggy without the re-swap!
Sorry not to catch that.
As I said the BF pin is definitely in my rats nest somewhere.. will have a look this weekend and get that in the mail to ya ...or you can send me the bill for the Hadaly pin if that works better for you bro.

Enjoy your weekend everyone

Vapemail came today!

Not hardware but DIY ejuice supplies.

From Nicotine River:

• 1x of 60ml of 60mg freebase nic in 100% VG
• 1x of 60ml of 48mg 'smooth' nic salts in 100% VG

I cant use PG at all as it makes me very sick but I do not miss it.

This will be my first time trying nic salts.

The idea being that if I can get my 'nic fix' sooner as per 'self-titration' (which I do not fully understand yet), maybe I will consume less ejuice. Consumption of 25ml/day is starting to be an issue for me, so I need to find a better way.

Raising the nic level is a no go, since it makes me nic sick real fast, so hopefully this will work better.

What you might want to consider is WTA (not to be confused with WTF ) Whole Tobacco Alkaloids are those other compounds that are not extracted along with nicotine. I believe some of the members here have used them and have actual experience while I only have anecdotal experience with them.

Yeah, that could be the ticket

I couldn't fully quit until I used it - took me a year to wean off of the WTA but was able to do it gradually and so it was almost painless

Thanks for the suggestion for WTA, I had looking into that also, but I'm off stinkies and vaping for 2 yrs 4 months now, and not sure what introducing WTA (back) into my body will do.

If the nic salts don't work on their own, I may have to dig deeper into the WTA, so thanks for reminding me that they exist.

 

[Papachaz]

What coils are you running in it?

Framed staples .18ohms. Flavor and vapor is great. I’ll try some higher ohm ones later. I hate wasting coils. Besides it’s a cloud chucker so the wife won’t let me vape it inside. That’ll keep me from going through juice too quickly.

A trick I used when I smoked NIC Strong Cigars... Drank some Sugar water before hand. Never got the green Nic feeling...but when I would grab one and some Bourbon and forget the Sugar water before hand.. I would get past the first 1/3rd uggh...looked for that sugar water real fast.

Been mixing lately with Nic Salts myself...don't notice much difference... but I am not mixing at a higher level than I currently vape... although I did mix up a 15ml tester at 18mg for my lil 2-3hr Aspire Breeze...my goodness that was a kick in the pants LOL diluted it to 9 in a 60ml bottle but havent vaped it since...got the fucking WAHH WAHHS in my head. I might give it a go again and see if that 9 fucks me up... if it does... I'll cut that down in a larger bottle.

I vape 3mg and 1.5mg currently.

Oh no issue man. I wouldn't let you pay for the pin. It's me that too impatient to wait to see if you can find it. I'd still like you to look when you get time. But I'm pretty passive. Figure I'd by a replacement and if you found the og then great. If not that's cool too. I'm not gonna sweat you over a 5 dollar pin.

Basic 1.1 "presale" (I guess for a new batch?) just started here:
https://squonkradar.com/product/5as-basic-1-1-22mm-rda-pre-sale-stock-arrives-soon/

Don't know if that's a good price, but they're a good vendor. Ship fast from UK, fixed a problem quick once...

So I'm thinking about trading my Haku Phenom for another Basic 1.1... I LOVE this atty. Perfect airflow, amazing flavor, almost impossible to oversquonk, outstanding build quality. I could go on and on.

Probably a good time to do it before Haku Engineering's new Venna RDA is out.

@So619Cal

Thanks for the suggestions. I DIY for both cost savings, and because I can mix a quick batch of 30ml at whatever nic level, and always go up or down from there.

About 1 hr ago, I mixed a 30ml batch of 1.5mg with the nic salts (also into a 60ml bottle, to leave room for tweaking), and so far I do not feel a difference yet. I am definitely getting my nic fix, but it's kinda the same as the freebase. It may take me until I finish the 30ml batch to tell.

I am normally/currently at 1.5mg nic level (for the past 18 months), and can tolerate up to ~1.8mg, but at 2mg, I get that headache that feels like a donkey kicked me in the forehead and the dizziness/vertigo kicks in.

At 2.25mg the headache and other symptoms are like a severe migraine, and I actually have to go lay down for a while until it passes. Drinking even more water seems to help metabolize the nic faster.

I already drink at least a half-gal per day of water.

My intent to reduce the juice consumption is because prior to squonking and prior to also getting a Zeus RTA, and only dripping before that, I was noticing that 120ml lasted me about 9 days on a dripper, now since squonking and loving the Zeus, I am more aware of refills and juice consumption.

Just another suggestion but you could also try a higher ohm coil at lower wattage. I have a couple of mtl tanks that I vape around 15 watts at 1 ohm and 5ml of juice will last me all day with moderate vaping.

Psst...All women are beautiful.

I agree.

Working from home and being the sole caretaker of my elderly and terminally ill mother, I dont get out very much, other than to get groceries and prescription refills, so I am easily satisfied right now.

Living kinda like a hermit has some advantages.

Like getting a nice big smile from the lady doing the checkout at the pharmacy, while she complimented me on my shirt I was wearing - I was on a cloud for a few days. Felt nice. Seems silly, but small things can make a big difference.

That is why I am always kind and polite when I interact with people IRL - who knows if maybe just saying 'hello' or giving them right of way in traffic will make a difference to them?

They could be having a crappy day, and when I am, it makes a difference to me, so I try to pay forward the kindness to others, even if I am the one to offer it first.

Carpe Nidor

Yes, I found that too. With a 26g kanthal 1.2 Ohm build in the SXK Billet Box clone on the Insider, and running ~19w, I get a really nice vape, and the tank lasts a long while, as does the LG HG2 inside. Not quite all day, but about 6-8 hrs of occasional vaping and maybe 2 refills of the ~4.5ml boro tank.

I tried a similar build with 0.8 x0.1 Kanthal ribbon wire in the Wasp Nano, that came out to 1.25 Ohms, and also ~17w on the Inbox v3, and flavor was there OMG better than anything before, and also juice consumption went way down and the LG HG2 lasted about 8 hrs, and 2 refills of the squonk bottle in that time...

I am running low on spools of Kanthal and need to order more, and am debating if I should try Nichrome N80 instead. Price is about the same. I figure I'll get some spools of 24, 26 and 28g and see how that goes. All just for simple round wire builds.

Almost exclusively DIY, plain old Nic

I do keep some NETS on hand, but a 120 ml bottle has lasted me over a year

Once in a blue moon I lose my mind and buy juice and almost always regret it

I had an idea to mod one with a Switchfet v2, but wanted to see if I could get a Pulse BF cheap enough to not care if I fail and end up destroying it.

Don't know if that's a good price, but they're a good vendor. Ship fast from UK, fixed a problem quick once...

I like that it has a top-down airflow, and that the afc seems to be the top cap, which is likely threaded-down (inside) where the drip-tip is attached, and would suggest to me that the afc is infinitely variable instead of limited to the alignment of some holes. (I am just assuming all this, I have not seen any reviews or other photos)

Like someone else said, also seems to be leak-proof from over-squonking which is nice.

I use n80 as well as kanthal also. It has a lower resistance than kanthal so you’ll need a smaller diameter wire or more wraps to get the higher ohms. Seems to me that it has a faster ramp up time than kanthal though. If I remember correctly it takes 10 wraps of 26 gauge n80, 3mm id to get a 1 ohm coil.

I have a brand new one I've never opened - it came with a squonk pin installed and there is no regular pin to be found in all these little baggies

I'd take it out of the plastic and check the 510 for width, but I'm hoping to keep it virgin and untouched unless I decide to build it one of these days

I got two when they came out and I traded the one I tried out not long after I got it
