Very tasty but it's awkward to hold after using a drone and Dripbox for so long.

A vape's a vape. I know what you mean though, I enjoy the heft of the Dripbox and Drone when squonking but that Wasp sits beautifully on the Squeeze, will dust off my own Squeeze (don't mind its size but not overly keen on the bottles) and stick a Wasp on and will try a Brochrome as @EmbraSewerRat suggested elsewhere.

I'll have to get me some ni80. Just got a stainless build in at the moment.

YFTK refiller from FT with new juice - again so easy to fill right up using the super soft YFTK reservoir bottle. Identical refiller to the ones supplied by 3F.
Will try with a Lucemill bottle next juice change.

Tried the Lucemill bottle with the cap from the YFTK refiller. Not a great fit, would work if you were stuck for a bottle but the YFTK refillers are so cheap you should just buy a load!

Before pictures, a few thoughts.

Using both the YFTK super soft squonk reservoir bottles and the very squeezy YFTK 510 refillers.
Good combination, so easy to squeeze all the air out of the super soft bottle and most of the time it was filled up with one squeeze from the 30ml refiller and also mostly without any juice loss (only once did I leave a small dribble on the top of the mod. For the right setup a great way to refill your squonker and every bit as good as the Parliamoitaliano refillers. As @tootingyoda mentioned, be careful using the refillers with mechs, switch off mech or remove battery or fit an insulter on the refiller.

The YFTK 510 refiller bottles feel lovely and I am tempted to use them to also fill tanks or drippers or decant samples for friends because one single squeeze action empties 30ml unlike normal juice bottles (whatever type).
The Lucemill bottles are okay as juice bottles with a nice feel to them but the threads are not right for the YFTK refiller caps so not 100% juice tight, the Lucemill nibs are not great, prefer nibs from iBottles.

YFTK super soft reservoir bottles - so squeezy, anyone using a Drone should try them, such a contrast to the hard Lost Vape bottles but less capacity of course and when the YFTK runs out of juice it's too easy to press flat and blow a jet of air up through the atty which can result in juice flying off the coils and up through the drip tip like a geyser! Zero movement on door of Drone as all you need is a tiny squeeze even with your pinky.

Pictures, then links and prices:

L to R 2 x Mussellini bottles (heavy caps and taller and do topple over more than YFTK), Lucemill with YFTK cap and YFTK bottle & cap

As before but Lucemill on the end now

Lucemill on left, compare threads


Tuttifruity supersoft refillers http://www.tuttaltrofumo.it/it/home/551-soft-bottle-85-ml-.html 19 euro + postage = 17 quid + postage?

YFTK refillers (just as soft as the Pavarottis) https://www.fasttech.com/p/7988100 for USD 4.30 + postage = less than three and a half quid (cheaper in packs of five!)
or here http://www.3fvape.com/misc/16477-yf...tml?search_query=yftk&results=44#.WXEl34TyuJA for USD 4.49

Quality of both refillers and reservoir bottles from YFTK seems first class.

Attempt number two
Measurements better on the external,internals need some adjusting

@mannikon I presume that the photo where you have the larger bottle on top of the mod is some new fangled way of filling?
Sorry - new to all this squonking goodness.
Is it easier and less messy doing it that way? My drone is arriving tomorrow so just looking at all drone associated images until then!

The original Lost Vape bottles for the Drone while having a large 11ml capacity are a bit stiff so filling them with a refiller through the 510 is probably not necessary but if you choose to use super soft bottles then the refiller is a brilliant accessory.
We had a good discussion on here when the Italian items came out courtesy of one of our long standing members @city461 https://www.planetofthevapes.co.uk/...sion/squonking/threads/re-fill-bottle.122503/ and them MM came along with something similar https://www.planetofthevapes.co.uk/...nking/threads/modmakers-refill-system.140086/ and maybe the first video from Tuttaltrofumo here

then YFTK came along with both bottles and refillers which are what I was reviewing.

Very interesting stuff! Shame - I just dived in to FT today after ordering my drone on EV and ordered a 5 pack of drone bottles. I'll see how I get on with the harder bottles and keep this in mind. I take it they are available on FT?

Thanks for the reply - love learning about all these little nuggets of info within the vaping world! Nice one! [emoji106]
