Squonking 101: How to get started (Q&A)

Unfortunately I don't have a Recurve. This Ghoul is good enough for now.

Nice thread

About 1.5 bottles with an LG Chocolate with a 0.49 ohms single coil at 40 Watts
 
I have to say that I was never particularly drawn to squonking. @SHiBBY kind of got me on this path. It's not my only device in use, but it has become my run around device due its portability and optional dripping (depending on the tank used).

For me, single coil setups are best suited to squonking due to the increased battery life and decreased juice usage, although sirvape.co.za has a dual battery squonk kit for some ridiculously low price where the batteries are in parallel, which will completely change this preference.
 
So I'm planning to pickup a Drop Solo at Vapecon. I need a squonker to go with it.

Must be regulated and not to big.

What's in the market to have a look at ?

Have a Pulse 80

The X is maybe something to wait for

Got my Recurve RDA last Friday from Severus Vape Co. at a bargain (for me) price R400.
Now waiting for the Pulse X to make its appearance...
 
Is it worth it waiting for the Pulse X 90W? There doesn’t seem to be much difference to the 80W?

For my personal vaping style I do not think so as the 20700 batteries on the market at the moment have the same capacity as the 21700 batteries. I use the Sanyo 20700B, which has 4000MaH and a CDR of 15A - good enough for 80W if your coil does not go below 0.5 ohms. I vape at around 0.8 ohms and 20-30W. If you are a low ohm, higher power vaper the 21700 batteries at 4000 mAh, has a much higher CDR - waiting for the Pulse X would then make sense. I presume the Pulse X will be a touch thicker in body than the Pulse 80 - to accommodate the thicker batteries.

Another consideration is whether your charger can take 21700 batteries. My intellicharger i8 has no problem with 20700 batteries, but 21700s are a struggle and I am afraid it might be overstressing the charger.

Thanks Andre, I somehow missed the battery capabilities of the 80. I currently use a Golisi (30A CDR, 3750mah) 21700 in my Lost Vape Mirage and it lasts me the whole day. I guess that is a fair point for waiting for the 90W outjie.
 
Bit late to the game here but my first choice would be the Recurve + Therion 75C BF running SS core Fused or Aliens it just works....

On a budget the Recurve and 22mm cap and a Pico Squeeze if you staying under 50W and above 0.5ohms
