Well Mr John Bold got straight back to me, offered me return postage, seems a fair guy that does a good service.

New flask turned up but no bottles... Still can't fecking squonk ....

blakey on the real flask I'm looking at a white piece under the atty, no pin sticking out like this clone and midland vaping are sending me out a "pack" that should of come with everything, is that right?

I filled out the RMA bit on the website yesterday, heard nothing so used the Contact form today and got a reply very quickly from Kieran Bold and VF Squonker now on it's way back to them, also offered me return postage as well - nice.

Very quick refund from boldvape - nice to see a vendor that is able to deal with problems quickly even though they have yet to attain Vendor status on here

Well Peeps my Yiylong Flask arrived this afternoon. Unpacked and was horrified at the construction of the squonk bottle.
It`s a 1 piece plastic mould, no screw cap. Fitting it is a `bloody nightmare`, when full of juice it`s a hell of a job to get the plastic bottle tube to push onto the centre pin tube, without having juice EVERYWHERE. A very POOR design.
and to make matters worse, it`s not a standard size bottle, you could replace with another type of squonk bottle "GRRRR" .
Finger print magnet finish.
Good news: the TC works perfectly up to its max of 40w.

Overall I shall see me having to modify the bottle and feed to the atty centre pin,

blakey is the authentic flask using same type of bottle connection ???


Overall disappointed. (got to be honest)

Not sounding good then, I guess 3Fvape pulled the plug on these due to having the same issues, ah well I'll try to find a fix of some kind once it arrives.

I don't know what type of tube connection the yiylong unit is using mate
The original has the tip of the tube cut at a slant to allow for easy fitting, try widening the first part of the tube - just a couple of mm worth to aid in fitting

I find that I just insert the bottle into the slot and make sure that the first part of the tube is over the pin then just screw on the base plug and it pushes the bottle up

[jeffc]

blakey that suggestion of cutting a slant on the plastic tube,makes fitting the bottle tube onto the centre pin feeder tube very much easier. Also using the base plug to position bottle in correct position also works really well.

That`s sorted out my main problem, only now to sort out other bottles.

Thanks blakey, so are a `star`.

If you come across them bottles then let me know please, the only place I know that does them has been out of stock for quite a while and there's no sign of re-stocking.

Mine arrived this morning, i echo much of what jeffc said, damn near impossible to get the bottle in place if it was not for blakey's tip 
The finish and general feel of the mod is not a patch on Kangxin clones earlier in the year, threading's rough on the bottom caps, buttons rattle like a rattling thing.

I haven't tried the dry burn test yet, but will do at some point, this one will be-used for out and about squonking as i wont be bothered if it gets dropped etc

Ok, after using the flask for the last 24hrs I thought it only fair to update my experience using it. Firstly apart from the niggles posted above I have found in operation refilling has become easier using blakey's method, the flask has been spot on in operation , and even though the bottle is a 1 piece unit, it squonks very well.

So after the initial bit of disappointment in the finish, it is growing in favour as it does squonk very well, for a cheapish jump into regulated TC Squonking I would recommend it.

Cheers

Received mine today. It's a pain to put bottle in. Works OK though but I'd pick the geyscano over this for ease of bottle change. It needs a door!!!

Chucked a zenith on mine, much better although the bloody thing keeps resetting itself if left for a few minutes

That's what mine did..sorry for those that have bought but for others I can't recommend buying this yilong version.

Mines done the same on a couple of occasions, but I have been running it pretty solid for the last few days, just more of an annoyance than anything else.

Refitting the bottle has got easier, likely due to just having more experience with it, overall I am a bit happier with it now as apart from the two niggles mentioned it has been performing pretty well, even with the reset every few hours .

Mine was everytime, 5 presses then to turn it back on and then a total reset up...shame as temp control worked spot on...

hopefully yours stays to just occasions..
