YFTK SVA Styled 75W TC VW Squonk Mod

My excuse for buying this at the time was I'd missed out on the Therion, Drone and Wraith so this time I was just going to get the damn thing while it is still around.  Here is is with the Odis Atty:



I bought it here.

All I can say is that it has way exceeded my expectations.

Size wise it's between a Pico and an Inbox - so fairly compact, it's light and looks much better in the flesh than it does in photos. 

Mine is really well made, the panel fits very tightly with two big magnets, so no pulling off the cover accidentally when you squonk, like on a Frankenskull or even sometimes the Inbox.  The etching is really nice and sharp. 

What makes it stand out is the acrylic squonking bottle - it works so well on mine that I can drain a bottle completely, and it just takes a light touch to squonk.  This has a clever stainless steel screw top, so no leaking from the joints. I was so impressed with this I ordered a batch here. - I believe they work in the Frankenskull and Boxer. 

The chip is the reliable DNA 75 - not yet tried in Temp control (which I can take or leave), but it seems good.

The only cons are it comes with zilch spares and was a little dirty inside (nothing a soft brush could not cure) - but I expect better at this price.

I'm a happy bunny and really glad I got it

Id love 1 of these but doubt Id ever use it.
Apparently the silk bottles aint so good in a frankenskull the caps are too wide it impedes the button push.

Wasn't sure about mine when I first got it.

No spring loaded connection & had to sand down the battery cover as it was too tight.

However, after a month or so it's become a firm favourite & it's never out of my hand, it's tiny & lightweight.

Hoping this will be manageable!

Thanks for this, 300, I'd forgotten to mention the manual adjustment on the pin, it will be a con for some.

The battery door on mine was tight to get off first time, but after this it went on and off no problem, so I put it down to the size of the magnets.

Not my farnky but you get the gist.


The real worry is the metal cap touching the pos plate and the battery, when you push the button your pushing the cap hard against the battery.
Keep an eye on the battery wraps for chaffin or hot potatoe.

Thanks, phtumshk, will keep an eye out for this and make sure it's safe before I use it.

These bottles are ideal in a Frankencheap
