but it makes 'available' stuff seem archaic.

If available you mean commercial, I would agree

There are some amazing modders out there who's work is anything but archaic and you don't have to join annoying FB groups to buy - I have numerous custom mods and one of a kinds are top of the line that I didn't have to deal with FB to get. Real works of art with superior internals.

They're just not printed with (usually) goofy art work

Yeah that's why I put quotes around 'available' ...
For sure, you're totally right and I know you have an awesome collection! Plus you've been in the squonking game since the get go so big respect to you and a lot of the guys here. I'm just an ankle biter with big ass wide eyes for this stuff since I'm late to the party.
As I mentioned before, I was ready to quit vaping after 5 (6?) years so squonking is a big rebirth for me.
And not really pinpointing the mods or modders in general, they thrived long before bookbook, it's more the RDA and accessories Facebook world. Stuff you just can't get anywhere else.
And I happen to love those damn kooky alumide boxes, it's worse than baseball cards or something. I want one from each 'team' (!)

That video and vape geeks on the boxer and all the talk about how crappy ginger Vapor customer service has made me wait on Armageddon to get more stock. I was ready to order a boxer but........

Yeah, ive heard alot of stuff about there CS too. And ive seen him on Facebook harassing people who didnt like his product. Seems like anytime anyone says anything on fb about his mods, he is right there to fight and argue. Kinda turned me away from buying one too. I really wanted the 2x700 bf boxer but went with a PZLD TwoSeven...

Yeah, i love alumide bf mechs too. I own a couple and they feel nice. I think im done buying them now, atleast for a little while :teehee:. I bought a Molly and Cloak which are delrin. So looking forward to that.

I actually dont mind the whole Facebook group thing. Is it ideal, NO. But i like cruising fb and seeing whats going on. The list thing is annoying especially when you have tried over and over and cant seem to get what you want. But when you do get it, seems all the more worth it...lol

I seen that too. That's why I will never buy a Boxer. There are so many other mod makers out there that will take constructive criticism from people who purchased their mod's and try to make their products better. For me, Never Boxer!

Dude, no one is adamantly stalking or refreshing on "facepuke" :/
In your settings for each group there is a notifications preference. Click 'all' or 'highlights' on the mod groups you are interested in and you'll be notified when their lists open, group buys hit, etc..

Ah, see, tricks of the trade. Thanks for the tips.

I have a •TINY•LITTLE•F#CKRZ• getting printed up cause #fucknoavailability. I will most likely want to grab some doors made by (i forgot his name already) on facepuke. Might not be as cool as the limited edition ones, but I like it cause it's not a straight squared box, is says tiny little f#cker on it, and I like how the little guy on the door is flipping everyone off with an ohm symbol for a nipple lol.

You'll love the TLF mate, it is TINY!
I want to get one of the Shapeways ones too, would love a distressed two tone one but I don't want to alter the limited edition. Door guy is Jose aka 'JiL Sqnk P#rn Accessories', doors are $40-$50 plus shipping from Spain, not cheap but they look sick!

I have the OG and a couple SSK versions. I really like them a lot, and in this case, the SSK compares pretty well to the original. I'd say it's 85-90% as good for a tenth of the price. It's definitely good enough to try out and see if you want the original (that's what I did).

The deck looks funky, but it's really kind of handy to have mounting points to choose from - though I've never used the center ones. I find the flavor as good as my Haladys and I like the airflow better. I wouldn't say it's more open than the Halady, but it does feel smoother. It's good enough that I'll likely pick up more.

You also might like the Solo if you haven't tried it yet. Easy to build on, amazing flavor, and nice airflow restriction. Just a hair tighter than the Halady. It's one of my current favorites. I haven't been able to track down an authentic yet, but the clones I have make me really really want to badly.

That's the guy! Door will be later later. I gotta make sure I can even put the damn thing together. LOL

I already made my MM order too. Just want to find a decent place to get some copper for the contacts. I'm thinking...This Place... They will cut custom sheets so was thinking prob 1"x 7" aught to cover it.

I bought a "throw away" mech to try it out/; Boxer clone. Haven't put it down and confirmed my "need" for a mech squonk, or two :devil:



I have one with a tracking as "delivered" yet it wasn't in my box... Talked to the post master today said he'd call me tomorrow to try and help me figure it out. Got mine from 3fvape though. Prob same shit.

Does anyone have any recommendations of a atty similar to a hadaly but $50 or less? Of course if anyone wants to sell their hadaly (lol) that would work also.

TBH I'm LOVING the wasp nano. I recently bought WAY to many RDA's and so far for flavor, single coil RDA's, the wasp nano wins hands down. The Shenray Hadaly can be had for cheap and it vapes well but gets hella hot, fast if you vape like I do. Wasp Nano has yet to get hot prob because the ultem cap. Was looking at getting a cap for the hadaly but they cost almost 2x as much as I paid for the damn RDA lol.

The wasp looks kinda like a Hadaly, but it sure doesn't vape anything like one. I know a lot of people really like it but I'm not one of those people, and I love my Haladys. The airflow is wiiiiiide open, and whistles like crazy at just about every afc position. In comparison to the Hadaly, the flavor is also laughable on the wasp and I've tried a ton of different builds. Always the same result They are very, very different from each other.

For someone looking for a halady experience on a budget, my recommendations would be (in order) a shenray Halady clone, a soul S clone, or a solo clone if you don't mind a touch more airflow restriction.

On the nano, if you close the air down until it looks like almost a perfect circle (on mine) it quiets down a bit. Also mine fits a 510. I heard there was some issues with some folks not being able to fit a 510. I use mine sans drip tip, II like it better that way. IMO the drip tip mutes the flavor a bit.

Man those clone prices are just ridiculous.
Seems they keep getting cheaper & cheaper. Three of those knock offs would barely buy one authentic acrylic top cap.
Sadddddd.
I guess at least if it does a halfway decent job it'll inspire people to seek out an authentic, the OG is a solid piece of gear.
Still not so hot on the Chernobyl topcap though, it's too slammed for me. Probably will sell it.

Yeah, mine all fit 510 drip tips too. I've tried it with and without and still don't like it. You are right, it's quietest at that afc position, but I still get more whistle than anything else I've tried (even the NarDa before drilling or chamfering). It's also still way too much air at that position for me. Feels like at least twice as much as a wide open Hadaly.

Interesting. I have 5 gorges in front of me right now, running on 5 mods. None of them have ever whistled on me. Maybe a build thing? Or maybe I'm just lucky.
Could be build. I'm rockin a 3/4 wrap tri core clapton @ .18 ohm. I've been using it on my drone. Also using the ultem cap instead the metal cause like I say, the way i vape, really heats up an RDA.

You have to remember I'm coming from mostly vaping on a goon lol. I like me some airflow. Just starting into these single coil flavor RDA's.

Now for real goodnight lol.

Man, that sucks to hear. I hope i like it, i have a Soul S and Chernobyl topcap coming from a group buy. Think it was the last one for the Soul S. Hope i like it period, cost me a pretty penny. Think its the most ive spent on an rda to date.

To all the anti-Facebook folks, I get it. I had my account turned off for at least 5 years. Vape shit got me back on. I went into my settings and made it so none of my commercial, hobby or interest posts or likes hit other's timelines. I never use it for anything but vaping stuff. I mostly just check groups I want something from. If you want to use it for that, it's an option.

Most definitely. And if anyone needs help with settings and privacy & whatever, I'm happy to help. I've been managing properties (aka fan pages) since the early days and I'm an honorary Facebook developer. One of the jobs I do a lot of is helping celebrities hide on Facebook.

I don't much like the secret groups.

But don't take that personally. I'm not saying being in them reflects badly on you, which you appear to think.

I just have no patience for the bullshit.

I'm in SP. But that is just a matter of adding joe allen as a friend, as I'm sure most squonkers know. I don't participate in their bullshit lists, it's just handy to watch trends

When I first heard about secret Facebook groups I was pissed. What a stupid thing, making it nearly impossible for people to buy your product? WTF? Squonking drove me to Facebook though. Specifically the Squonker's Paradise group. As recently as 6 months ago there were only a handful of companies selling squonk mods commercially without Facebook. That I could find anyway. Most of the storefronts were perpetually out of stock too. There are a few nice mid-range options that are Facebook only (ex. DPM, BMM, Simple, various 3dp mechs) and all the best resale groups for BF mods and atties are there so I made the jump

There are a handful of secret groups I'll never get in, like SVA and Art&Mod. Some, like HEMO, I don't want to be in. Others I got in from setting up notifications for the companies normal product page and waiting for them to open the group. Most of secret groups I'm in are new and didn't start secret. Once you get in a few you see announcements and just luck into other new groups. It sucks that most of the industry is stuck on FB, likely to skirt regulation. With the oncoming advent of more and more commercial BF products and the extending of the regulation enforcement, will this change? I don't know. but if quality commercial products are available I won't need the high end stuff anyway Heres the real secret, most of the high end is janky shit made in someone's shed anyway.

Trust me these private groups for private group buys on these unique mods are crazy. For the price they are asking for is a hit of a steep grey area. Depending on materials are used and such. But in my car forum. We have a sectioned off for buy/sale/trade/ and group buy section. Everyone reads into it and it goes successfully. But it's media based. More people be on fb then forums =/

You'd probably like the Kennedy with BF pin then with or without Gremlin Cap/Trickster... I like the Flave for Single coil...Just have to get that Drip Tip made by Lawless ( Goon'ish height and size, but to fit the proprietary size opening of the Flave )

I totally agree on the Wasp, might just as well put a 510 connection on one of these. :giggle:

i've lost track of what "high end" means

up until about a year ago "$400 is the low end of high end" was commonly accepted

now, there are apparently $100 "high end" and $900 not-high-end?

seems to be availability?

I see it as, is the build unique? Something out of ordinary? How's the airflow and fixed flow? If it's common like I seen others, then gtfo don't need it. Like I still ponder why the Sherman is 100 and whatnot. It looks amazing sure. But the way how air flows through and wick channels absorb the ejuice. It's similar to others so no.

If anyone was wanting a wide bore DT for the Flave...Any DT that fits the X1/Temple RDA from VC is the same size. Was going through my Drawer of Not used Stuff and tried the X1 sitting there and slapped the Flaves DT on it.

Good morning everyone

I have a couple of questions and have been out of the hardware game for a while.

I just picked up a Geekvape Gboxxs100 to try out. I like it but did not realize that it did not take standard bottles. Can it be modded to take a regular bottle or where can I buy some extra bottles?

Also does anyone own the Rebel mod squonker ? That looks like a high end replacement for the GBox.
