Morten thanks for sharing but the when using the refill bottle you need to push the air out of squonk bottle when you have the mod upside down then and turn upright wait to see air bubbles go into refill bottle then squeeze refill bottle, repeat until full. Beautiful purge squonk mod and very expensive.
Happy New Year Morten!! You'll dig refillers! My method is similar to Reigle 72's, squonk all the air out with atomizer attached, press as much squonk bottle as you can. Unscrew atty holding squonk bottle pressed, start screwing refiller horizontally to avoid leaks and finish it vertical with liquid on the bottom so jo air gets sucked in. Press the refiller as you feel with finger the squonk bottle getting filled, repeat. I use dark bottles all the time, by feel you'll fill them to the top by 2-3 refiller squeezes. Quick and clean AF
Guys, take a look at this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HLy_Bnf9MlM.html The problem with that squonk filler is that the filler bottle *ALSO* needs an inner tube, a bit like the bottle that fits into the box itself. With an inner tube ("straw") in *both* bottles, filling becomes super simple. Morten, I'm not sure if the bottle that ships with your mod is able to have a "straw" like this fitted beneath the 510 male connector, but see if you can do it. I've used the one from ModMaker.co.uk for months now and filling a squonk is super easy with it.
Thanks Bradley! I have the valve system from Lost Vape, and I have looked at a lot of other videos. I have some tubes lying around, so this would be cool to try. Might make my own "refilling video" when there is enough material to do so. And when I figure out a method on my own:-)
TO USE THE REFILL BOTTLE: take your rda off, screw the refill bottle into your 510 threads for your rda, turn the whole mod and refill bottle upside down, squeeze all the air out of the squonk bottle in the mod, and flip it back over to let the pressure from the squonk bottle suck the juice from the refill bottle, getting a perfect refill every time, repeat process if you still have bubbles left over
Great video, I could listen to your voice for hours. Been considering this combo for 2 weeks. So expensive but beautiful mod. This is the only review I have seen on the Suicide King so thank you for that. 👍
Thank you, Arch Angel! I still vape it dayly. It is the hardest hitting single battery mod I have, and the Carnage RDA is phenomenal as a single coil RDA (thats why they built that strange deck). Highly recommended!!!
id say the thickness of the brass takes longer to heat up and stay warm is why it does not patina as quickly as a tube mod thats my guess ive just ordered mine in 2020 and manage to pay half what it was sold for originally but its just such a masterpiece of beauty
Hi John! I got myself 3 of the Wasps, and I'm so looking forward to talk about this RDA. I thought it looked a bit akward on the Suicide King, so I went for the Carnage on this review:-)
Great mod and RDA, and a great video. I use my refilled differently. Once the refill bottle is screwed in place, I turn the mod upside down. At this point, the juice in the mod bottle has flowed down to the 510 pin, and the end of the bottle tube is in the air, not liquid. I then squeeze the mod bottle to evacuate the air into the refill bottle, and hold the mod bottle pressed whilst I return the mod the right way up. I then let go of the mod bottle and this draws liquid from the refill bottle (I sometimes give the refill bottle a squeeze to hasten the process. I repeat this, but it only takes 1 - 3 inversion/squeeze attempts and the mod bottle is full. In short, I am squeezing the air out, rather than the liquid in to the mod bottle. I hope that helps, it really works much faster that way.
Hi Morten, great review on an awesome set up. I have exactly the same set up but am using dual coil. Tonight I will change to a single coil to see what effect that has. I have the same issues with the refill bottle and thanks to your video I may well be able to fill it properly. Thanks again.
Thanks Peter! I have to confess that I still just remove and open my bottles for refill. Only on Lost Vape products do I use a "system" for refill. Tell us how you like the single coil set up when you have tested it!
Hi Morten, tried a single build last night, yes definitely better, the taste as well improves by just using the single airflow option. Excellent, thanks again :) I have just bought the red Rampage and Red Carnage to go with my Suicide King for an every day, take to work mod and it is a very nice set up as well. Not quite on a par with the King but still excellent. I also put a single build on that. :)
Thank you for reporting back, Peter! I have never had a single battery/single coil setup like the Suicide King. And all my other squonkers uses a lot more energy too. I find that I can go through a whole bottle of juice without having to change the battery. The SK is just another level of vaping!
Naval Brass refers to a copper alloy of around 59% Copper 40% Zinc and 1% Tin with a trace amount of Lead. This alloy falls into the subfamily for Brasses known as Alpha Beta or Duplex Brasses. ... Tin is included in the alloy composition in order to improve the corrosion resistance of Naval Brass.
Thank you sir! I'll cut and past that info in my notes! The mod is now slightly more amber/ rainbow colored at places, but still very shiny and golden. I have never seen anything like this alloy. It's still like a mirror to look at.
YOU WERE RIGHT NO HEAT ON TOP!!!PREETY SMOOTH DRAW FOR A SINGLE COIL ON A PRETTY BIG TOP CAP RDA!!!!THANX ALOT AGAIN GONNA SQUONK THE HELL OUT OF IT!!!!
The lack of patina likely has to do with a little science.. has to do with the galvonic exchange(I could be using the wrong term). The screws that secure the delrin insert are likely becoming the focus for the oxidation. Similar to how they keep copper lightning Rod's from corroding. I recently came across your channel, and it is nice to see the straight forward approach in your videos.
With the refill bottle... If, while you have it upside down, you squeeze the bottle in the mod. This pushes the air into the refill bottle. Then flip upright and it will fill flawlessly.
Hey Morten i really really like your videos. Especially the airflow and wicking tutorials. Well done sir ! Have you ever tried the new Reload 1.5 BF RDA ? I think its also one of the best ones for flavor out there. Greetings from Germany and keep up your great work !
Hi Frank! And thank you:-) No, I have only done a review of the 1.0. And as far as I can see form the images, I'm on the fence regarding the 1.5. Will test it if I get my hands on one, but there is a lot on my table right now. Thanks for suport!
Btw is there any reason you always space your flat coils a little bit or is it because of the flattening you do and its not perfectly straight ? Is it possible to make a flat contact coil ? I am asking because i bought some 24G SS flat wire and i am about to test it :)
Hi Frank! I have space because I hammer the wires myself, and they get very, very thin;-) Its easy to glow them as contact coils if I do a semi-flat wire, or use a commersial one that are much thicker (0.3-0.5mm)
Sick Hagermann engraved Purge squonk Morten!!!! Just the artist's engraving job is worth money, plus naval brass instead of the alu from the basic squonk. The alu one goes for 275€ in my country, not a bad deal for a limited edition IMO. Great piece of Functional Art.
Hey morten i wanna learn more about mechs am planing to buy one of these and use it as single coil build like you do but am still afraid of things going wrong am plannin to buy a 20700 ijoy battery and a coil around 0.25 or 0.30 i should be okay with this one ?!
Yes you would be ok:-) You can build down to 0.19 Ohm no problem. Remember that the volt drop is about 0.4 Volt, so you can go pretty low with the Ohms.
Morten Oen another thing i found it on evcigarettes and the photos they have on the product kinda seem its fake diffrent lettering shape of the word “PURGE” and the one inside the door that says “ purge mods made in the usa “ you have it horizontal typed and they have it on vertical type of engraving in the back of the door so i hope you can guide me before making the purchase or if there is any other site who might still hold into these in the US ... Cheers
If it is different from mine it is probably a clone. There are just a few of them that are made (500), and they come in a signed suitcase with signed certificate, and all of the 500 are identical. I bought mine in a store in Norway that deals with Purge directly, as they also do with Philippine mod makers. I have no idea where you can get a hold of an original nowdays. You just have to look around on US web sites. Good luck, man!
Morten Oen i know its much to ask but if you could check the link and tell me your feedback from da photos they got ? They seem legit tho i also mailed purge and waiting for their reply www.evcigarettes.com/suicide-king-hagermann-edition-squonk-box-by-purge-mods/
You let the air out of the bottle in the mod first then you do exactly what you were doing so you let the air out of the small bottle so that you create a vacuum in that bottle it'll suck the juice through the fill bottle and it'll fill itself right back up
I mailed Purge about the lack of patina on the mod, and got this interesting answer: "This has come up a bit. We assure you that the brass is the same 343 Naval brass we used before. This is just thicker than we usually make it so it's going to take longer to patina through the brass than normal." I never knew that the thickness of the material would affect the grade and speed of patina. I have allways thougt it was a surface thing, as you can polish it away. You learn something new every day if you dare to ask quetions :-)
So the small % of Tin added to the copper and zinc mix, that drastically reduces the amount of corrosion of Naval Brass vs plain copper and zinc Brass, is not the real reason?
As I understand it, yes. My neighbour is an armorer and blacksmith, and he said that there was nothing special about "naval brass", he had not even heard the term used in context, and he's an Englishman. He knew about 10 other types of brass and mentioned them. He thinks it's a marketing thing. He even makes bronze swords for fun. We talk about metal every other day, and he said the same as Purge. Btw he loved the mod:-)
Your neighbor has very good taste☺!! Learned something new me too, now i won't argue that. Very interesting conversations to have with your neighbor, now I'm going to learn about those other 10 kinds of brass didn't know about 👍
About the internals gotta agree with you, would love to see ultem for the whole internals.. But milling a block of pom is dirty cheap compared to ultem, a block of quality ultem is not cheap at all, quite expensive actually..
It definitely matches the squonk bottle like a glove made of Japanese silk ☺!! Guess if they didn't put it there we would be complaining about excesive bottle movement when pressing the power button, you know. Actually, thinking as i'm typing, that might be the reason of being for that ultem cage, that 510's side play you pointed could get worse with bottle moving freely.. Maybe some ptfe tape around the threads could be of help to stop that side play?
I think the side play is due to the fact that there are very beefy o-rings inside of the peek gasket. To make everything adjustable and water tight this works great, but yes, it looks bad and cheap. But all this movement probably takes its toll on the o-rings and gasket, and that is the reason you get a bag of goodies with spares. As I'm typing this, I really start to like the concept more and more, it's like... organic. It gives without breaking, it moves without leaking, and the button is soft as a womans... well, you get it :-)
#VoltageDropExposed Oh no Morten, you are gonna burst another bubble ☺☺ !! Just two simple thick stripes of 24k gold plated silver, a 24k gold plated silver floating pin over a 24k gold plated silver spring, and a 24k gold plated silver nut and contact for the 510, are beating Comp tubes?? We don't need half a kilo of Russian copper?? Where is the endless fine threading massive weight button?? No magnets?? And, and.. it is not a hybrid!!
Bikendi Garcia de Madinabeitia Ogueta I have asked Purge about the contacts on this box and they are made of tellurium copper that has a plating made of 24k gold alloyed with silver.
Anton Zaitsev Thank you for the precise info!! Everywhere it seems to be advertised as 24k gold plated silver. Tellurium seems to bring some interesting properties into the table, being added to copper 👍.
Cupronickel is a grea material too, since i was introduced to it by the Broadside and Admiral tubes, got a cupronickel tube that is a joy. Trying to get some tubing and sheet to make some custom parts. Been working with 20awg and 21awg copper sheet too, making nice bends and punches. Should be cooking silver nitrate this weekend, and getting some nasty chemicals and protection to start plating experiments.
morten, you mention the adjustable wheel above the squonk bottle. I'm having some issues with mine. When I first used it i could not get it to fire and I couldn't understand why... I finally adjusted the wheel by looseni g it quite a bit and it then was able to fire. Is this a locking mechanism? It seems as if I thread it all the way up it does not fire, however when it is positioned about half way down ( the position in which I feel it makes best contact) The whole apparatus seems loose... what is the function of the wheel? is it a lock or does it serve to hold together the. 510 mechanism??? Please help, you can msg me on fb messenger or e mail me at dorriangerald@gmail.com
Greetings Gerald! Yes, the 510 pin and wheel seems loose, but that is due to some beefy o-rings inside the construction. It is ment to flex, thus giving a softer button push feeling. This is also the reason you get some spare ones (o-rings). I questioned the same thing, but after the video I truly understood the construction. The function of the wheel is to adjust for the length of the 510 pin of the RDA. If you feel the flexing is too much, try changing the o-rings inside the 510 construction, yours might be broken.
