Kui squonk authentic and nuppin ( possible clone) in crazy chef sale.75 for the set

To me it looks like a Nuppin v1, hard to tell with the cap on. I don't think there were any clones of the Nuppin ever made, I may be wrong. If it is a v1, they were made in the Philippines.

So my Pulse arrived today and I'm really impressed for the price.

I've been an unregulated or mech user for all of my time squonking so was a little apprehensive whether I could enjoy regulated but so far so good.

The build quality is actually fantastic and the chip works flawlessly in power mode and is so fast I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between this and a mech/mosfet no perceivable delay at all :)

I think the biggest novelty for me is how I'm getting that nice fresh battery punch consistently throughout the charge cycle.

If VandyVape manage a decent firmware update that sorts out the TC issues this would be the best budget regulated squonk available.

Everything about the chassis feels high quality and grippy, the buttons feel tight and super tactile and the fitting of the doors is perfection! For $43 I am very very impressed.

I'm really not a fan of YouTube collaborations and the associated drama but credit where its due I think Tony B et al have done a really decent job on this one!

But is it as good as the RSQ? Is it as small?

The Nuppinites are taking over!

Thanks!

I am still suspicious that some folks are talking them up just so they can get more $$ when they sell theirs. :bomb:

After all, if the Chinese thought they could make some bucks cloning and selling some; why wouldn't they? :idea:

Defs the clone that wasn't a clone. It is 22mm. Nuppin was 18mm.

Think these were made by hammer drill they were so bad

That is all the authentic Nuppins?

wow.

yeah

he struggled to sell them when he made them

then, after a while, super x drifter or todd would review them, and pete's mod thread would be flooded with people only interested in the atties, not mods

he never made profit on them, to my knowledge. Just wanted his dream attie, so had them made

Anyone with Pulse voltage drop issues, try a framed staple from AVS lol.
3mm 4 wrap comes in at 0.15 ohms. The vapcell/sanyo battery will be asked for 28A with a fresh charge so still under the 30A ceiling assuming zero voltage drop.

The coil offers amazingly improved flavor over their fused and even tri core wire, mech or regulated. Super happy I spent a couple extra bucks over the tri core spool.

Not a glamor shot, this sucker is in rotation :D

I made a shy attempt at convincing him to make another batch but it flew like a lead balloon.

Chef's Nuppin is a clone 22mm. That whole rig used to be mine... My second squonker... First was the Smokeless Owl kit (I was squonking when squonking wasn't cool). The Kui is a not-a-clone of a Reo. About 2x the weight, but decent. The Nuppin is actually decent, but a little too tight for me these days.

Enjoy!

Because everyone binned them lol

And see above, looks like 110 v2 was it. Plus copper brass and black sleeves etc. Clear etc were aftermarket by other parties
You've been there so know better than I, the late comer.

If you want to part with a Stumpy, let me know. I gave mine away (paired with a Stingray), and regret doing so...

@Rossum or @The.Drifter are much better informed that I but I believe there were about 500 in each run of Nuppins.
I don't remember exactly how many were in each run, but IIRC, it was well less than 500. I would guess there were fewer than 1000 total Nuppins ever made.

Several sleeves were available also, the one to look for is the naval brass cap one, rather few were made.
Here's two of them:

The really lucky few got a clear or ultem cap,
The Ultem caps were made and gifted to people by Captain Steve. I have the one and only tootle-puffer version (round air holes instead of slots), and of course there is no AFC with that cap. I think The Drifter also made a few completely clear caps, but again, these were never for sale.

BTW, I can't keep up with this thread anymore, but will of course respond when summoned. :)

Thank you for the eye candy and the clarification.
