Squonkers are Bonkers

Hank pestered me about it first though

He's good for Gear Acquisition Syndrome but terrible for a savings account.

Really really loving this setup right meow, dual 26g 8wrap ss316L

Anyone here have the Shift BF? The low-profile one?

I do

 

[minimalsaint]

I do

What are your thoughts?
I've recently fallen in love with the Thump and have been looking for similar low-profile flavor monsters....

 

[Jakeman02]

No experience with the Thump but I like it a lot. It's my fav atty for on the go due to it's low profile and being the most leak resistant atty I've ever used. Flavor is what you'd expect from such a small chamber, very good. Airflow is adjustable by a screw, I like mildly restrictive airflow and keep It open. Wide open I would say it's somewhere in between the Hadaly and No Toy Clone. It takes small builds due to the chamber I couldn't fit my normal twisted 26ga 2.5mm in it, had to back it down to single wire 26ga but the chamber is so small I don't miss it, it still provides a punch.

I have a couple of Shifts, they're very nice but I like a very tight MTL draw and that little screw doesn't restrict it enough for my liking. The one thing I noticed is that if you use a drip tip with a long enough stem (the one with the o-ring that goes inside the cap) you can further restrict the air flow. All in all, it is a nice atty.

Popped on the Hadaly, damn good flavor.

You know I'm really liking this Squonking thing

Wanna part with one of them? I've got a firefly collecting dust here.... lol

As long as you understand it is a SXK clone! How is the draw on the firefly?

 

[minimalsaint]

I just re-read your post about tight mtl.... and the firefly isn't quite that. Closed down it's quite laughable actually.
I'd say it's more of an air hog but in all fairness I gave up after only a couple of days.
And clones, ehhhhhh not really my thing. Nothing against you or your tastes, of course.

learning from the more experienced here, I get the clone and if I really like it, I buy the authentic. Unfortunately for me, the days of the really tight MTL draw atty, be it RDA or RTA, have gone the way of the DODO birds. In today's market even the MTL branded atties are usind a 1.5 -1.7 mm hole as the tightest draw and I'd like a 1.1 -1.3 mm one. I am actually considering drilling a smaller hole in the Siren and see how it goes. I'm not so sure about the food grade epoxy to use to fill the smallest hole before re-drilling.
Rest assured, The piggy will be topped with a Chalice lll, then a NoFear, a Cyclone and finally a Hadaly.

Floris store is open. I ordered this. Internals can wait, just wanted the box while the store was open.

Taken from my nutpunch funds. So will need to replenish that.

I have DNA 75 and mech enclosures of theirs and really have to rate them right up there with my SVA Penguin for fit and finish.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm a massive hoople, and I'll probably bork it. Hoping minimalsaint is feeling talkative and helpful when I go to assemble and polish it

I thought you folks down under could not squonk because you are technically upside down??

Yeah, they push instead of squeezing.

Actually being at the bottom of the bottle makes them the best squonkers...true bottom feeders to the last drop!

It has happened a few times. I'm right next to the main DFW hub and it has its perks and downsides.

Wow - how about that lavender one bottom center?

 

[Zaxxaz]

Floris does not list a black option this time,thought he used to. Or is it a different dyed color option?

Man, that would look incredible on white! I couldn't tell it was blue from the first picture, but I'm kinda colorblind. If these aren't all spoken for, consider me speaking for one!

I'm just trying to decide which ones to keep for myself

That's what I would do

 

[minimalsaint]

LMAO
Considering I currently use one device and remain perfectly happy, I feel like that would be silly.
Silly FUN!
I'm slowly amassing the color combos I want, but there's room to share the love!

 

[USMCotaku]

what would the price tag on something like that be? Loving that saphire blue

It's still as you see it,
It would be a few days before I could get to polishing and building it, unless you're just looking for the enclosure unfinished.
