Kanger Squonkbox?!

[wazarmoto]

Honestly I for one was not remotely interested in a reo. I even said that to waja09 at my store last night. But now..... After a day with this kanger... I might even have one customer made.. Lol..


Can I put rims on a reo?

You could but it won't be pocket friendly.
What are your thoughts on the kanger squonker?
Any leaking?

I think this thing is great. Once you squonk, it makes a whole lot of sense.

Great price, so it's a throw-away if need be. Which, being electronic, it could be binned after some abuse.

Of coarse I want my rebuildable practically indestructible Reo more, but a established brand brought us a cheap squonker - great.

I did loose interest though because I can't use my preferred RDA'S. I'm quite specific with what I like on top.

If V2 gives you that freedom, I will revisit.

Can you really not use other BF atties on the Dripbox? Seriously?

you can use other atties on the dripbox.

the Reo crew seems to be super snooty about the dripbox...

Oh can you. Great.

Reo crew have good reason.

My mistake. I thought I read that you couldn't.

I'm sorry but I really don't think they do.
I mean how can they attempt to pass judgement on this thing before they've even held one in their hands?
Lets be serious here.
I have a really strong dislike for elitist nonsense in vaping.

Every time something comes out, it seems to get poo poo'd.

All the reviews I've seen of this say its really pretty damned good, and the price elsewhere in the world is like $35.99 so its SUPER cheap.

I preferred being in the minority
With the global scarcity of reos I suspect it will only increase the sale price of a decent squonker but only to the few as I see squonking being a passing fad for the masses.
If the device is genuinely good then it will take squonking mainstream but I know better than to expect decent products from kangertec.

My only concern is @Christos , same as with the Steam Crave Squonker.......you always go back to your Reo. I think I am going to pull the triger, but my other thought is to buy a second hand Reo. A two year old Reo will still vape after 10 years and still looks decent IMO. But o yes, why not support a vendor and keep on posting..lol

I think people are just giving their opinions, which may or may not be the same as yours.

[n0ugh7_zw]

ok, fair enough

 

[Papa_Lazarou]

My only issue was if it wouldn't play nice with other atties (which was mentioned). Felt like a shortcoming if true.

No opinion otherwise, but I am looking forward to hearing reviews/experiences.

Soooo... let's hear it from them what got 'em.

I don't think passing judgement Is a fair statement.
I think I'm being realistic in my expectations from kangertec. They have gotten better over the years no doubt but I personally do not hold their products in high esteem because I have owned their products before.

I've tried many Squonkers and they all suffer the same shortcomings. E.g leaking from the 510, shoddy workmanship and about a 2 week lifespan.
I'll gladly review the device and give you an honest opinion but I'm definately not wasting my hard earned cash on this device.

Nothing elitist there. Perhaps realist is more the correct phrase here.

I was gonna say that would have been really doff. Of course the REO crew are gonna be snooty... they have been waxing lyrical about squonking and paying top dollar for their devices and it is a group of purists... whenever another device comes along we tend to get defensive... the KUI was complete crap... but maybe this will take squonking main stream...

Those that can afford it will continue to buy top of the range devices and appear snooty... that's life...BMW vs Toyota etc... both get you from A to B and all that.

I'll get all the sleep I need when I'm dead.

If you speak to a proper Land Rover or Jeep owner, they seldomly get excited about the new BMW X3... they will usually say, "but can I take it into the Kalahari?"

No... Reo being fully mechanical, makes it very specifically appealing for those that seek that.

Like I said though, I think this Kanger is great for what it was made for.

The kui didn't get past the first day. Stupid spring got stuck and the mod didn't fire and the atty 510 not accepting a cyclone or any other bf atty was a clear indication it was rubbish. Not even worth a paperweight.

I think we enjoy squonking and do it regularly so any squonker is going to get our attention and also draw in comparisons from our loved devices.
The terminator was ok but the plastic fire button melted before 2 weeks were up.

The steam crave squonker suffers from a mild indication of juice inside the mod but it doesn't leak. It is however bulky and a cyclone looks to small on it and disproportionate. The steam crave squonker is in my opinion a decent low budget squonker.

Edit: this post only reflects my opinion on the devices i have tried. It is not meant to discredit the kanger product just to give you an indication of my experience with Squonkers out there.

 

[Petrus]

Then I suggest to clear the ground and some of us Reo owners must get our hands on the Kangertech Squonker, vape it, then do a decent review, especially for the guys with a "low" vaping budget and want to get into the world of squonking. I want the squonking community to grow, in that way maybe, just maybe our vendors will stock more BF atty's.

I'd agree. I've had one working away for over a month with no issues other than having a little shorter battery life than I'd expect or like. It's quite well built for the cost. I'm prolly going to move mine on to a mate at work who's considering squonking and I think it will give him a good taste of the life (a kui or geiscano, not so much).

I never and still cannot understand why people buy 4x4 capable vehicles and have smooth road tyres on them.
I understand smooth tires give you better fuel economy but IF you are worried about fuel economy then a 4x4 isn't what you should be buying.

My reasoning is pretty simple... 99,8% of the time I'm on the road but when I get to some launches at dams the fact I have 4x4 is most certainly a chicken dinner and needed. And with my new Diesel Merc I get 7,6l per 100 km's on a long trip which is amazing!

But I'm sure you don't have chrome shiny rims with low profile tyres on a 4x4.
I did spend most of my time on the road but I had a multi purpose tyre for on and off road. The traction off road was why I won't compromise.

Definitely not!
