NEW IN THE QUEUE – THE KANGER DRIPBOX – 3/11/16
NEW IN THE QUEUE – THE KANGER DRIPBOX – 3/11/16
Squonkers rejoice, you now how another low cost squonking alternative. This is Kanger new Squonk box, the “Dripbox”
It takes a single 18650 battery, comes with two “squonk” bottles, a bottom fed atomizer with a dual coil build in place (measured out to .2 ohms) and a replacement dual coil RBA head, also with a build in place. It has an output of 60W.
My questions on this one? Why not adjustable and why no temp control which would definitely benefit squonking especially when the squonker forgets to Squonk 🙂 ??
(had to do a lot of “add to dictionary” for this post 🙂 )
Some initial photos for you below.

The Post Review Follow-up:
- 3/8/16 – In the video around the 46 minute mark, I had a serious “blond moment” I show you the method I use to do a Velocity build. I use the two top holes for one coil and the two bottom for the other. Why? 1) I find it easier to slide the leads into level holes, 2) I hate when sliding a lead in hits the coil on the other side, and 3) I find is just as easy to position the coils after setting one up a bit and one down a bit. So when I said it’s a “flaw” of the Velocity design, THAT was a blunder. BAD BAD Phil! It’s not a flaw of the design, it’s a flaw of my build methodology.  I would imagine most are staggering using the top hole for one lead and the bottom for the other. Bottom line, no matter how you do it, as long as you’re using the same amount of wire and get get the coils as level as possible, the results will be the same. My apologies for this.

How are doing this fine day Phil. Just wanted you to know if it wasn’t for
your you tube channel I would still be smoking those stinky sticks. I love your
reviews and I just got some vape mail from fasttech yesterday and it was the freemax
Starre tank that was part of your review on sub ohm tanks and all I can say this is
the best tank I have, and I have many, and I love it. The flavour of my juice has
never tasted better and I love the cloud production. Keep up the good work that you
and so many others do to help people get off the stinky sticks. You have a fan of
yours for life. vape on my brother.

Dear Phil (Mr. Busardo!)
I don’t tend to do these kind of emails / contacts but wanted to give you a quick
note of genuine and heartfelt appreciation for what you do and to let you know just
how much you have helped me in my vaping journey over the last 12 months.I struggled for a long time to move away from tobacco cigarettes and whilst I
dabbled in starter level vape kits I never found “the one” device that allowed me,
or got me to, quit them completely. Through your videos I have discovered tanks and
devices that all of a sudden gave me a completely satisfying flavour, for it’s this
that matters to me, and completely satisfying experience out of my vaping that was
enough to flip that switch in my mind to let go once and for all from cigarettes.
The first of those tanks being the Kayfun 4 which is still my go-to tank through the
day. Of course, as you will know only too well, once that switch flips you seek to
broaden that satisfaction to suit different moods and I’ve expanded that experience
to include a Marquis RDA, a Kayfun Mini v3 (just because!) and now a Hurricane to
try out temp control (that works!!). Each of these purchases has been down to your
thorough and highly entertaining reviews which are always enjoyed whether it’s a
device or tank for me or not, but then that’s the beauty of this industry now, there
really is something for everyone. What I can say, 100%, is that 1. I will not go
back to cigarettes, and 2. My bank balance has suffered from your efforts! 😉So once again thank you, and please keep doing what you are doing because I am a
true example of someone you have taken away from the dark side and into the foggy
light.Kind regards to you and your family.
Mark – UK.

Hello Phil,
I started smoking at the age of 13 in highschool because it was ‘cool’ and ofcourse before i knew it i was hooked.
Fast forward 16 years, i am now 29 and i’ve developped a nice smoker-cough and my health is getting worse and worse, I tried quitting a couple of times but failed, so be it back to at least a pack a day.
Then, this one day, at a birthday party, a friend who had been smoking forever introduces me to vaping and i give it a try on her evod and i was stunned, this could actually work!A day or two passed and the little evod puff stayed in my mind as i was coughing my lungs up so one night i searched youtube for evod and found a lot of videos about it (this is where i found Pbusardo), i watched a couple and came to the conclusion that if all these people managed to quit smoking using products like this, i can do it too!
A couple of days later my friend took me to the local vape shop and after trying some products i got my very own evod starter kit and some liquids. It was on their doorstep on february 27th 2014 at 11 in the morning that i put out my last cigarette.
And so, as i am celebrating my 2nd vapeversary today i just wanted to send you a ‘little’ thank you note for the amazing work you’re doing in the vaping world. If it weren’t for you i’d probably still be puffing away on the little evod kit i kicked the cigarettes with. Nowadays i enjoy rebuilding and even making my own juice has become a part of the hobby.
I still prefer a nice relaxing MTL vape however i do also enjoy a clouding session on a subtank every once in a while. I’ve ordered the new Kayfun mini v3 as a little gift to myself for my vapeversary and i just heard they are going to have expansion tanks available to increase it to a 3.6 or 4.2ml capacity, yay!!
I was just watching a random youtube video of someone receiving the silver play button for 100.000 subscribers and it made me wonder if you ever received this token of appreciation, i couldn’t recall ever seeing it in your videos. In my opion you deserve it like no other! Your in-depth reviews and tests of every thinkable parameter (yes i remember the cartotank pull force tester) are just an amazing guideline in buying new vape gear. Also I really enjoyed the ‘How It’s Made’ series from China and last but certainly not least the LegalVape 4000 (TC).
Thanks again and please keep doing what you’re doing and fight for your right to vape!
Over here in Europe it seems it’s too late with the TPD being introduced in may this year, in fact here in The Netherlands there are regulations since february 2015 that ban tanks over 2ml and juice bottles over 10ml (and 20mg nic), they were introduced in preparation for the TPD through the so called ‘Temporary E-Cigarette (Commodities Act) Decree’, you can read more about it here:https://www.government.nl/topics/smoking/contents/regulation-of-e-cigarettes should you have the time or interest for it.
Despite all of that negative bullsh*t i’m quite convinced vaping is here to stay and that all of us will #keepitgoing 😋 .
Over the past 2 years i’ve invited several family members and friends along on the vaping journey and i’m happy to report that all of us haven’t touched a single cigarette since our first vape.Greetings from across the pond, sorry for the wall of text in dodgy English

Hong Kong biology professor cannot understand the difference between mLs of e-liquid and mLs of breathing air
A new article has come out and it has raised some eyebrows.
It’s called, “A million times more harmful than outdoor air: Hong Kong study raises e-cigarette cancer alarm“. You can click it if you’d like to read it.
I think it VERY important that you ALSO read Doctor Farsalinos’s response to the article, “Hong Kong biology professor cannot understand the difference between mLs of e-liquid and mLs of breathing air“. Again, you can click it to read it.
As always, thank you Doctor Farsalinos for giving us the TRUTH!
