Been going through fasttech looking around...added these to my wish list for reference.

Sooooo, what have some of you already tried?...what flat out sucks and what's decent from this list so far?.

Vaporl has the crea for $9.90. I got a couple on the way but it’ll probably be a few weeks before they get here. I figure for ten bucks each I can do a little modification to them if they aren’t very good and still come out ahead.

Coppervape 2's button is POOR - actually the locking mechanism is horrible and is the problem (should just drop it). Button is NOT very high quality - and the internal frame (pos/neg runs) will twist a bit and the button doesn't hit it too well. I've shimmed and done some basic 'mods' and it works solid - but a few weeks time and the dreaded lock - just go out and buy the el-cheapo augvape druga and solder a bit - for twenty bucks you get a solid (although not floodable) rda and a plasticky Squonker mod.

I don't have nearly the experience as most - but I've YET to use a plasticky Squonker with a decent switch and internals (Hcigar magic box looked good - not tried it yet). For me the switch is #1, the internals (rigidity/sturdiness) is #2, and the delivery (liquid) system is #3. NONE match the coppervape brass - but its >$30. So that leaves YOU to do a bit of modding yourself - and then I jump o the "best deal going" and with a bit of silastic , hot snot, and solder - make it work. The Druga with a box for twenty bucks - no brainer (regardless of color).

I'd dearly love if that DS-style mod had a switch replacement - anydamnthing that fit and worked..

I'm right there, ready to order one, but... the idea of "everything-is-fine-but-the-switch" is just depressing.

I have a Hugo squeeze kit coming to me in a trade to try out...watched review vids on it...I like the silver plated contacts...everyone seems to mention it's a rather hard hitter so I'll give it a shot let you know how I like it...also a Haku single coil clone...looking to get the wasp nano next.

You can find 99.9 silver strips 6in long on Etsy. Just got two in the mail today. 10 bucks a piece but worth it.

The Hugo Squeezer is a solid value mod. Cheap and reliable. Mine stays in my car 24-7 with a Pulse 22 for my drive to work.

I also like the original Pulse mods. You can pick them up used for 25 bucks.

The Hugo squeezer and sxk entheon have been my everyday combo since I got them. For about a month now I have barely used any other mod.

It hits hard, works amazing well, feels and looks good, is durable (taken a few drops on concrete at work without a mark), came with lots of extras in the box including a large refill bottle, and is very easy to swap batteries and refill juice bottle.

It has to be the king of cheap squonki ng.

I've seen the Geekvape Athena Squonk kit selling recently for $20. I think that's the best value mech around now.

Fuck yes it is. Only downside (I don believe it's A downside because I like 18650, the size is absolutely great). It's solid as fuck. Much better than the squeezer, much better than the pulse. Much better than the azeroth. It's the best in that and even above price category.

I have both regulated and mechanical.

I have a lost vape therion 75 squonker.
Hcigar VT75 inbox squonker
2 coppervapes..one SS the other brass.
A Sonar 505 custom wood mech squonker.

I suppose I'm looking for those good $30 or less squonkers that might work well.
Michael I just saw that Vaporider has the geekvape athena squonk mod for 29.99 and the augvapedruga for 15.95 both mods come with addies and you can get an additional %10 off with the code "summer10" hope this helps you.
