Few new squonking bits smile

Recurve & Lost Vape Furyan squonker. Both great, the Furyan’s really nice quality. There’s a new all brass/Ultem version out next month minus the stupid CF wrap! Flavours fantastic on the Recurve and comes with 3 really good prebuilt coils!



Vandy Vape Pulse 80w, finally here!! Ordered this back in Feb but the VV/Voopoo drama delayed things. TC isn’t meant to be that great but it’s good in power mode. Really nice mod.

And a couple Wasp Nano’s. Been out ages but never bought one. Picked up one each for the Pulse & Furyan. Big clouds & big flavour but has an annoying whistle!!!



And started slowly replacing my ageing 18650’s with 20700’s. Picked up some Vapcell rewrap Sanyo A’s from Fogstar (good batteries!!! And some of the new China cell Vapcell Golds, these are also available for cheaper minus the Vapcell wrap as Bens gone direct to the factory. Tbh I can’t tell any difference between the Sanyo’s & Vapcells but only build to 0.3-0.4ohms. Sanyo A’s are probably better if you super sub ohm!
And some Sanyo B’s for the Pulse 80w. Getting decent battery life from these at 35-40w

I've recently been gaping and I'm slowly gaping more and smoking less.

What I've found is I get a rash on the skin that goes away when I stop gaping for a day. I've read of people reacting to the pg content but I can't seem to find non pg vape juice

Can anyone please help?

Tia.

What juice is it? A lot of the cheaper stuff I’ve had was PG only and no VG (the 3 for £10 stuff I used to get in the market)

Try some higher VG juice, something like 70/30 VG PG and see how that goes. Still the same try 80/20 or higher. A lot of juices are 70/30 or 80/20 now.

Just be aware that PG is a flavour carrier so if you went for max VG then the juices will taste muted, you’ll getHUGE clouds but you lose a lot of flavour. Also VG is a lot thicker than PG so some tanks will struggle with wicking and you’ll just burn your coils. Did this mistake after mixing a load of 100% VG juice up and they don’t taste as good as my 50/50 juices. I tend to mix 50/50 for work and 70/30 for back home.

What kit are you using?

Been using the same Kanger subtank mini for a couple of years now and fancied a change. Things move on, improvement are made etc etc. Had a bit of a search on YouTube for reviews and settled on a Horizon Tech Falcon in blue (it comes in other colours) and a 3 extra coils for £38.48
I've been off tanks for a while. Mostly using squonkers and drippers with RDAs. The reviews of this have got me to try one though. When tanks work they are so much easier than the alternative. Lets hope the promises on the flavour side hold up.

Glad to hear you rate the vandy vape 80, I ordered one yesterday to try squonking for the first time. Been going back to cigs because of convenience and I'm feeling the effects on my chest.

I've got a goon 1.5, wondering whether to convert that to squonk or plump for a new (cheap) rda that I can run sensible builds in to balance battery life/ clouds.

What do you think of the Wasp? I'd probably build a couple of simple coils or a more complex single?

I never got into building so I have always used premade mainly the SSOCC coils from Kanger. This Falcon tank seems to be getting rave reviews for flavour. Matt from Suck My Mod seems to like it

The other thing is it is a 5ml tank. It comes with a silicone insert to reduce the tank size to 2ml, so will obviously be keeping that in rofl

I've got a tigertek Morphe. No silly Allan keys, nice deep juice well, I run a nice 35mm single coil in there, 5 wraps gives me 0.5 each time. Cheap on Gearbest too

The whole of the TPD has proven to be a complete waste of time, effort and money by the EU. It's almost as if they see an industry start up and doing well and have to barge in with no knowledge of what the industry does or of the consequences of their decisions. It has done nothing to change the industry other than create 5 times as much plastic waste in nic shots, mixing, tank inserts and other sorts of nonsense.

I haven’t tried the 1.5 but have the OG Goon, that didn’t come with a BF pin so I picked one up Fromm fastech along with some spares. I’m sure they sell the BF pin for the 1.5 there. It’s easy to do just swap the pins over.

The Wasp’s excellent apart from the whistling, tried a larger 3.5mm build and it’s better now. Dead easy to rebuild/clean.

Also worth looking at the Dead Rabbit SQ, Hadaly & Recurve, these are all single coil though.

Dual coil I’d take a look at the Dead rabbit, DROP and Bonza.

Here’s the BF pin I’ve got in my Goon but not sure if it’ll fit the v1.5?

Thanks, I'm pretty sure my 1.5 came with one but it just seems like an odd thing to run a single coil high resistance build in if that makes sense? I do love the 810 tip though and the Wasp one looks a fair bit narower.

I might get one and give it a go with a simple build.

I agree. What it has done is stop companies supplying premixed juice to providing a VG/PG flavor base with a concentrated nicotine shot, because that is obviously safer rolleyes

It’s 510 on the wasp, no drip tip just give a good ol suck on the top cap smile but you can fit a drip tip if you wanted to. Really impressed with mine, also the cheapest attys I’ve bought smile

I run my Goon single mainly, it’s a bit leaky so find it best with one side fully closed off and single coil.

Wire wise I’ve been converted to Ni80 Flat wire, 5 wraps gets me around 0.4ohms. Super quick ramp up and very flavourful. Try crazy wire company or Stealth Vape for their Brochrome (personally I can’t tell the difference between the two!!) with CW company shipping is expensive though so best to get a few things while your on there, they also sell tons of 1m sample wires to try out smile

Thanks, that's really helpful info!

I'm not really knowledgable on 'kit' as such but I think its a wicked arc evo. Is that a good model?

I haven’t tried that one but I think TW sometimes sell makes like Eleaf and rebrand them? Haven’t bought from them in years though.

What juice did you get? I noticed some come with a bottle of 50/50 juice, me personally if I DL 50/50 or lower at high watts/low ohms I get mad coughing fits.

Try some higher VG juice first, also well worth getting a spare kit incase you drop or break this one. Take a look at Vaping101 for some nice kit at a good price or if you don’t mind the wait I’d get from China, sites like FastTech or 3F Vape are good wink

I dont like 70/30 so much which limits choice and I also like menthol/mint flavours again which limits supllier choice.

I'm finding it hard to deviate from this.
