New-to-me Hobo Drifter came in!
Old-school build, but I like having some of those: dual 27g kanthal 2.5mm 5.5 wraps. My "go to" build still, for dual coil atties, lands at 0.43 ohms every time, lol. Can't get where I want with thicker wire, or SS, this just works.

Drifter is a little "whooshy" - but a very nice vape. Comparable to my Goon 22...

And the Signature tip fits perfect...Just isn't the right color for this mod...:(

I agree, the DT just clashes with the whole setup. Since I don't really care about things like that, I'll spare you the agony of looking at it and get it off your hands. :vino:

I'm not cheap, just broke at the moment! I had several unexpected expenses and I wanted to pay them off! On top of it all, I'm on a "restricted vaping diet" for now. I will be getting a couple of them, one for the Hadaly, the other for the Stumpy.

Something occurred to me while looking at their website, which drip tip are you recommending? I really hope it's not the chameleon line, I really don't like the chuff type drip tips.

FT posted the Lost Vape silicone bottles for the Therion DNA75C, they should fit the Drone and previous Therion BF.

Real silicon or those stock fucking bottles that are so shitty?

I'm a grumpy old man type squonker. I see that as a monstrosity, along with most other recent squonks.

But it is cool that squonkers have options in recent years

Yeah, I see a lot of things "wrong" with that mod - aside from it's not my style - but I love Pinoy mechs and will occasionally lose my mind and spend a fortune on one (or two) that don't even squonk

Must always be vigilant :p

Anyone have any unloved chuff tips for stumpy RDA? PayPal ready. Clones okay. International post has never eaten a dingo, nor a baby, nothing to fear

I liked the Seinfeld episode where George is first in the group to get the internet, and he can't explain what it's for.

Elaine wouldn't believe him it wasn't just to save money on porno mags
Porn was an early major driver of the internet.
I used the internet before browsers existed.
PSTN.
I worked in Telecom/Datacom for most of my working career.

They can keep it. My last Sigelei product was the OG Sig 100W box and probably will be my last.

My last Sigelli product was/is the Zmax. Decent 15 watt regulated tube mod.
Depends on the price point for the new squonker.
If it gets decent reviews and appeals to my Cheaplitism then I will get one.

Squonking has become second nature for me, as in it is now like smoking cigarettes. I'm doing DL hits the same as drawing breath.

"Hi, my name is Benjamin, Ben, Benny, Buddy, Pap, Barny, Insensitive Bastard, Hey You There, Joe and I am a squonk-aholic. This addiction first started when a friend kept sending me messages like 'psst, you need to try a mech and squonking is neat too'. Unfortunately, or fortunately depending on perspective that friend, Spanky, has gone to the next level. I hope he has a great squonker and is happily wearing his Crocs with socks and in Cloudz Brah, cloudz. For my part, squonking seems an unbreakable addiction. "

I enjoyed some good squonking this morning early while splitting 15 huge white oak logs, Have more of those to do and more of them yet to come. :) We may in fact fill the upper shed with good hardwood firewood this year. We're still making a point to help others by offering a pickup load or two free to invalids, elderly. I split firewood in a very mixed size, with affinity given to trying to maintain a 5 lb or less feel to peices, and some bits that are a little heftier for all night banking wood.

Yeah need to do some firewood but those days are about over for me.
Just too physically decrepit.

150W on a single cell? I mean, I guess if the 30T becomes available and you only let the battery drain to 3.6V that might be ok... Just seems a little excessive.

I can hear the TC complaints already, but if Sigelei can get smart and just admit it's only capable of wattage from the start I think it might do well.

I'd probably buy one to replace a DB160 on backup to my backups patrol.

150W on a single cell is not possible except maybe for a few seconds on a fully charged good 30 amp battery with a very specific resistance coil.
But since I have never vaped over 60 watts in 2.5 years....

Oh I would never buy it...well let me rephrase... if it was <$30 I'd buy it...but it does state it takes 18650...20700 and 21700s...but yeah, still wont do 150w...

If it does 100w I will be surprised.

Ohh it takes the big batteries?
Well scratch it for me. No interest in the big batteries and why have the larger size if not for bigger batteries.

So a little more info, the Samsung 30T is a 21700 that Mooch has tested as a true 40A continuous discharge battery. If you can do 80W on a single 20A, then you can do 150W on the 30T.

The problems are even with the small internal resistance it'll sag a bit under heavy load, and you can't get them. They have not appeared for sale anywhere.

I was using the Sigelei Fuchai 213 Plus as a work mod before squonking entered my life. Decent mod but slick as shit. Still have it.

I'm psyched on the new big batteries! I have 2 4000mah 20700 sitting on my charger while i wait some copper to finish out my toaster design alumide 20700. Mooch rated the batteries @ 16amp continuous. Coming from hg2's I'll take the 33% additional battery life! Hope to finish up the squonker tonight. I'll post pics and impressions of the new batteries :)

3.2v cut off and 150watt

Oh well. Too many people think 0.08 is safe on a single cell mech and we have very few asplosions really, so this can't hurt our cause

Natural selection
They say the max wattage is only possible on 21700, but if they're relying on the user to know that instead of it happening automatically. :/

My pulse 22 came in yesterday, still waiting on the sva zero clone from fasttech (over a month now :cuss2:)

My plan was pick up that thirty something buck mod to test the waters and then most likely a dna squonk if I dig it. I'm close to just ordering the sva75 from 3f I'm so over waiting for what FT sent and got snagged by china customs :wait:

Great vape once I changed DT's to a dotmod baby friction tip. Perfect flow and great flavor, now if I could just give it a squonk
