Looks like Wismec is getting into the squonk market. Can't find all specs but from what I've seen it appears to be a single battery unregulated with a claimed 100W max. Doesn't look all that bad, but not a fan of the metal tube/push on bottle system. The included atty looks kind of interesting. 3FVape has it on pre-order for $38 for mod only and $48 for the kit.

I'd say that it will Probably be a well made device.

But another Unregulated 18650 Box Mod with a Kanger DripBox/Pico Squeeze bottle doesn't really get me jumping out of my seat.

I figured since Everyone and their Brother has done an 18650 Box Mod, someone like Wismec would come out with something a Tad more innovated.

Like maybe a Fixed Voltage Squonker.
 
Wismec has officially made me a sad panda.
What. Is. This?
In their RX series of mods, they have the PERFECT box for a dual battery regulated squonker...
But instead, they offer this.
Doesn't matter how well it works...
Another 18650 single battery mech alike isn't new, innovative, or remotely interesting.
Top that off with the switch being closed off and untouchable without voiding the warranty, and the crappy tube in a bottle proprietary system that NOBODY wanted, as opposed to nice standard silicone bottles...
I'll give this an extremely hard pass.

Great Vid Fozzy.

Back in the Day we used to call that a "Mod". And we used to do that A Lot.

It's Funny how this Box Mod hasn't even gotten out of Pre-Order yet and someone has a Fix for it.

LOL

BTW - Kudos to Mike for Mentioning Safety Glass. I've seen those Cut-Off Wheels break many times. Especially when working in some Awkward position like he was.

BTW2 - Once you get the New Silicone Bottle in, I would Flush Out the Metal Tube by putting some Water in the Bottle and Squeezing it all out.

BTW3 - Since the Metal Feed Tube is going to go inside the Silicone Feed Tube, the Metal Tube could be cut a little Longer and it wouldn't (that I can see) hurt anything.

And cutting it a Tad Longer might give you a 2nd Chance if for some reason you Hose-Up the 1st Cut.

Interesting interview with Jaybo by Tony B. There's going to be an updated version of the mod with a silicon bottle. Skip to 19:10 in the video to see what the new bottle looks like.


Thanks for posting. Was thinking about picking one of these up, but will definitely wait for the updated version. Also waiting on the regulated Pulse before buying another squonker. I'm well covered in the meanwhile and just need to learn to be patient. :)

I really did want the blue one but the bottle and closed off button made me pass too.
I chose to grab an Hcigar magic box kit instead.
Really,really hate that bottle set up Wismec went for.
Supposedly Jaybo is working on a v2 with a proper bottle setup but by then the Pulse 80w will be out and no one will care about this mod anymore.
