I have a boxer, too, thebishman, as you say the same design sized up, so the squeeze is a bit bigger and heavier (once the 21700 is in it) - but the battery makes up for it. I like the boxer shape - the Athena loses out here a bit too because it's yer basic metal box. The bottle in the GBox is quite hard, decoy, but does not bother me too much - I also have several VT spares, so might give them a go at some point.

A bit of a spending spree with stuff arriving over the last couple of weeks: From Left to right: The Geekvape G Box, a regulated dual battery with the Vandyvase pulse - not half bad, good to have a dual that lasts all day. Looks a little better than the Kangertech dual but otherwise no massive difference. Not that temp control is my thing, but seems to work OK on this. Bit of a pain that you have to remove batteries to refill but not a big deal. Aleader Killer 80W, single battery regulated with the Rashomon RDA - got it as a replecement for a retun of my steamcrave which died while it was in warranty - big dissapointment - leaks like crazy - am awaiting some o-rings that might fix it, if I get can get it to not leak it will be a very nice looking regulated cheap squonker. By the way the temperature control is total pants, but this does not bother me as I'm not a big fan of TC HUGO Squeeze, a 21700 battery mech with an Enthon style RDA - this is just brilliant, everything about it works perfectly - discovered I like the profile of a 21700 in a mech Geekvape Athena 18650 mech with Comet styled RDA - was a suprise - forgot I'd ordered it, but a very pleasant surprise - extremeley well put together with nice neat internals - hits like a steam train The Ijoy Capo Squonker with a Narca Style RDA - regulated mech that will take a 21700 or convert to an 18650 - it's fine for my needs but claims of going up to 100w are just bunk, seems to me underpowered in comparison to other regulated devices - very hard to tell the difference between 40w and 100w! Overall my prize goes to the two Mechs - with the Squeeze a little out in front becasue it can take a 21700. Having got my impulse control back I'm laying off buying mods for a while....

Intersting one, Get Off My Cloud, for me it kind of defeats the object of squonking (better flavour and more control over saturation because the juice is fed manually) but could be good as a carry around

It's a Geekvape Gbox 200 charliehorse . What do I not like about it......................everything apart from dual batteries. The biggest let down is the squonk set up, it sucks, with a capital "S". I can't decide whether to take a hit on it and sell it or bite the bullet and do a conversion on this the same way Mike vapes converted a wismec Luxotic. decoy , thats a 0.19 dual ni80 fused clapton set up in there, bit low for me, but only got the wire on Tuesday so still a bit of trial and error with it. Been running it at 55w but took it up to 90w no problem , but that's just not my bag vaping at those numbers. Will probably be back on the single coil RDA's at 0.3 ohms on a mech squonker by the weekend and the red rocket will be heading for a new home. Hi striker42, I got one of these a couple of weeks ago, the squonk set up on mine seems to work fine, may be just different strokes for different folks if it's the design you don't like, but is it possible you got a dud one? Mine currently has an ST Comet Styled BF RDA on it and am vaping it with a clapton @ .42homs 38watts, have also tried the VandyVape Pulse with a spaced fused clapton @ .25ohm at aropund 45watts, was also good. I do find having to take the batteries out when you change the juice a bit tedious, but nothing major.

10ml tester of a cider recipe (finding something to use my long neglected L&T Cider concentrate in, with a bit of apple Fuji and koolada) 50ml of Root Beer (I use the Liquid Barn one @ 4%) 20 ml tester of a Butterbeer recipe - third attempt to make something decent - started with an ELR recipe but that is now in mostly in the bin - never tried the real thing. 50ml of Death in the Afternoon - my favourite at the moment - for recipe see here, but am now using DV Absinthe half and half with the CCW.

Thanks phtumshk - I used to swear by Innokin tanks/coils as a newbie and before I got into building, and have one of their excellent Zodiac mech mods - so I'm hopeful - will report back!!!

Curiousity got the best of me, domesticextremist, so I ordered one. Was a bit persuaded by this review link. If it works, could combine the best of a tank (no need to squonk and no over squonking leaks, and this is a problem with some of my squonk atties) and an RDA (great flavour).... ...or maybe not.

This has a siphoning mechanism instead of a squonk bottle. The idea is you use a bottom feeder RDA, fill the tank below, prime a vacuum by dry vaping it a couple of times, then the liquid get siphoned up ward - so no need to squonk. It’s got protection from shorts etc, but is otherwise unregulated- takes a coil as low as 0.08OHM. I wonder if it will work and am resisting the temptation of buying one to find out! link

Thanks tcg69 and Perpetua , think I’ll try the Flavorah first, as Rainbow Vapes does them, and that’s my go to shop at the moment Mine too! I especially like their free postage for orders over £10.00 + a free concentrate . . . . . which if you only want a few flavours is great and they've a good compact range now. Service has always been excellent for me also. I especially like the £10 free delivery - low enough to make it impossible to resist getting a couple of extra concentrates just to get the free delivery....🙂👍

Hi all - does anyone have a good sweet lemonade concentrate they can recommend? Am looking for a sweet rather than tart one to lighten up a bitter mix - bit like when you add lemonade to beer (not that I would do a such a thing in real life!)

Black Dog. I have been mixing this recipe up for the last few months on and off just trying to get it right. The final result I am pleased with, don't make big batches of this as the blood orange starts to fade after a couple of weeks.If you don't want it to chilled reduce the Ws-23 to your taste. Absinthe FW. 2.5% Anise. FA. 1% Black Jack Kandi-Hed 1.5% Blood Orange FW. 4% Golden pineapple Caps 2% Ws-23. 2% Polar Blast. FA. 1% Mixed at 30pg/70vg steep time 3 days for the Black Jack to settle. If you can't get Kandi-hed try FA black jack. Adding custard to this is really nice I add 3% it works really works well.Or is it me being weird. Going back to what started this thread I ended up getting the blood orange, and happened to have several of the ingredients out for this, so made up a 20ml tester batch today but with just a little coolant (don't like a lot!), will try in a few days.
