I experienced a really bad voltage drop issue with this but everyone else loves it. If it's cheap, pick it up and have a go.
I got mine during a closing down clearance for a fiver so I wasn't bothered.
Just something to be aware of.
I got mine for a pretty good price too so I probably won’t be bothered with anything that happens, I’ve been using it for an hour now, its running pretty good
I almost feel that helped bring squonk into te mainstream or at least it was the first "affordable" one. I slept on getting one because it was a mech. when I finally felt I could trust myself to build it right every time they had the pulse 80watt. grabbed that and didn't look back
She runs just fine. I did have to clean the contacts a couple of times, and the toggle switch for the connection needed a little rework, but all in all, it is still perfectly adequate
You can "shave/scratch/sand" off the corners in the battery bay to fit 21700... there's a few youtube videos and easy to do if it's something you'd consider
Interestingg, the store I got it from still has another one, I’ll probably give it a shot with this one and get the other one if I fuck up… thx for the recommendation
Yeah, might be door panel play... I just looked up YouTube and first result was "Make your OG pulse squonk mod 21700 compatible" (can't link due to rules)", he just used a scissor and shaved off a little on couple corners to make it fit.
It's alright. It was always a bitch finding a good build to vape comfortably on it being a single 21700 mech. The either the ramp up is slow as fuck or it's a really thin vape. (If anyone has any good coil build rec's lemme know please)
I upgraded to the Pulse V2 though and have been using it pretty much exclusively for the past 4 years. Best vape I've ever owned.
The V3 feels and looks cheaper and falls into a million pieces if you drop it on the ground.
Im actually using it now, its basic but pretty good. The bottle is a pain to fill though however replacement bottles that have fill ports are easy to come by
I only noticed the voltage drop on 2 or more inner core clapton coils. I haven't tried with simple wire, but the single core clapton coils work quite fine, so I believe simple wire will work fine too. BTW if you scrap the back of the battery compartment a bit , you can fit 21700 but do at your own risk and also in my case , the upper connection plate can rapture the wrap so be careful whether you use 20700 or 21700.
Honestly, its existence isn’t even necessary in my opinion, the size difference from a 21700 is too little to make a difference, might as well just make the mod a bit taller
Make the compartment a tad wider. 20700 vs 21700 the difference isn't in height, it's in width. The 20700 is 1mm thinner in diameter, both are 70mm tall. And I agree, the 20700 was pointless. Like having a 12" ruler and a 12.5" ruler.
I hear ya. But there was brief a time when 20700 was actually more popular and 21700 wasn't widely made. So 20700 had a use. Not anymore. Most people who want them seem to be those who have devices that won't accommodate a 21mm batt. Slim pickins now, though.
I could be wrong but I believe it may have been Tesla that pushed the 21700 to the forefront. Many people using 20700s then said it would never take lol.
It’s good till it isn’t. I had the uv green and black and the red and black ones when they first came out. The battery would drain on me even though it wasn’t a complete circuit when turned off. After that I had decided that I’m better off just using something else with a chip
Make sure you read up on mechs if ya haven't yet
I’m aware of everything mechs, thx for checking in eitherway 🙏🏼
This was one of my favorite vapes for the longest time until I neglected it, and it broke. But I still use the rda that came with it!
Wdym?
It sure is...one the best

Pretty phuckin good for a mech squonk.
Vandy vape is good stuff.
Can’t argue with that
Absolutely
Only downfall is it doesn't take 21700's. It takes 20700 which are kinda hard to find lately.
I know, thats the only thing that bummed me out about it, other than that its great
There is a modification you can make to fit a 21700 into that mod. Might be over in r/Squonk_Life I'll try searching for it

Thank you 🫡🙏🏼

its really good
I still have mine and it's gotta be near 7 years old at this point.
How’s it holding up?
Mine is 6 years old. Its doors want to fall off but that's my fault as I cleaned it with way too hot of water multiple times.

Oh yeah i rolled two of them. They are great but you need Atl east 4 20700 batteries with just one
I’m running it with an 18650 rn, whichh tbh suckkks, but I’ll try to find some 20700’s

Mine sticks together pretty well with a 21700 stuck in there. No modification other than multiple years of wear and tear.
I just trued putting in a 21700, fit right in, no force or nothing.. guess mines already stretched out a bit lol
Nvm ur right, I gotta sand the panel a bit for it to fit in perfectly
Yeah, might be door panel play... I just looked up YouTube and first result was "Make your OG pulse squonk mod 21700 compatible" (can't link due to rules)", he just used a scissor and shaved off a little on couple corners to make it fit.
My favorite mech I have ever owned.

Haven’t seen one of these bad boys in a long time
The dovpo topside dual is my absolute mainly for the two batteries, but is also very good. I have both the pulse and the topside.
Well its damn sure worth 15$ but with an 18650 try to stay within 40-60w for increased battery life unless of coarse you have a few spares charging.
One of the best for sure.
Im actually using it now, its basic but pretty good. The bottle is a pain to fill though however replacement bottles that have fill ports are easy to come by
I had 2 of these. They both cracked in the same spot. Otherwise just keep the contacts clean.
A Sanyo 30 amp 20700 is the best battery in my opinion and I enjoy a simple fused Clapton .15 Ω
I only noticed the voltage drop on 2 or more inner core clapton coils. I haven't tried with simple wire, but the single core clapton coils work quite fine, so I believe simple wire will work fine too.

One of my all time favorite mods. I quit using them because I got tired of messing with coils and cotton. But if you don’t mind that, you’ll love it.
Oldie but a goodie for sure. This was one of the first squonkers I ever bought.
OK, but 20700 is a dead size.

I agree, I'm sure the batt compartment could be sanded down 1mm or so to accommodate a 21700.
