I’ve bought from Buybest and it wasn’t a bad experience. It did take a while to get the item though - about two weeks. At 44.95 for a Rage, I would jump on that and wait the wait.

recoilrda.com is sold out of the Rage, but it’s interesting that they still have the LABORDAY discount code still active. Fingers crossed that it’s still good when they get the 6th batch in stock.

Na I am pretty sure it is not made by smok but it uses the same chip set as many smok products - nuvoton

I posted that link as an example. I totally can’t remember where I got my magnets since I bought them years ago. But you are correct about specialty stores (especially if they have anything to do with miniatures)

that is a great deal, I paid 99.00 for mine, but that was brushed SS, and would do so again. I’m getting confused with bestbuy and buybest, either way, I had my stomach pumped out because of one of them.
So very happy with the Rage, and it is a tough lil bugger. I have fell asleep on the commode and dropped the Rage a few times. Still working !!
I would buy the VAPING BIKER squonk (luv that guy, him and TODD did a gig yesterday) but , going to wait for the TOPSIDE this sept-oct. or maybe Xmas Sale.
@adary you did a great job on the conversion!!
@SmilingOgre, me to man, waiting for 2 batt. DNA250C squonker !!

There is still work to be done. In the end there will be no trace of the screw holes 
Update coming tomorrow most likely

I’ve got the Therion 75C BF and outside of the dismal battery life it is a wonderful device. It’s my “dessert” mod. I put a Aladdin on it and vape a dessert after dinner. A 250C would be outstanding.

I’m lobbying Vaporesso to make a dual battery squonker. Their chip is decent with TC as well

Primer (2 coats after taking a few blemishes out in the first coat)
And paint
The color I went with is Arctic blue - dark metallic blue that was used on certain WWII airplanes.

Let’s just hope i’m lucky with varnish. I need at least 3 coats, and in the meanwhile all bottles of varnish I found went bad …

They look great. Did you paint them?

Yes, in a thread that looked very much like yours! Naked mods, primer, whole deal.

Did you also replace the squonk bottle with a proper one?
4 Likes
Yes, and like you, the reason I chose to paint them is because I was sloppy and scuffed the original finish when installing the magnets.

I did the same, but from the start I wanted to completely mask up the screw holes in the back cover

Yeah that’s a nice touch.
