Which squonker? Therion, Wraith or VTinbox?

[Chuck Norris]

I bought the other half a dripbox for Christmas to try, not the best thing but really like the idea of a decent TC squonker now to use back home.

So looking at the CoV Wraith, LV Therion and HCigar VT inbox. Is the Therion worth the extra £££ over the other two?

Any major issues I should be aware of on these?

Thanks Chuck

I've got all 3 and they're all good but in my opinion the therion is the best followed by the Wraith and the inbox comes in last.
Vape wise there's not much in them but the build quality let's the inbox down

I have only tried the inbox but i do like it.

Maybe @city461 @SirLugg have input or can tag a couple of others

Thanks, just had another quick look, does the wraith also do SS in TC or just Nickel & Titanium? Could be a deal breaker if it's nickel/Titanium only. I'm trying to move away from nickel after the palava I've had with my old dna40!

Edging more towards the Therion here but it's a fair few quid more than the VT inbox.

I've only got experience of the Therion, but I can say that I've had it since the release date and it hasn't put a foot wrong yet. I use it as my every day mod, and when it dies, I'll happily shell out for another.
That being said, I do have an Inbox and a Pico squeeze on the slow boat.

For me the Lost Vape hands down, the build quality seals the deal there. I've had the VT Inbox since before Christmas and remains unused and will be looking for a new home shortly. The Wraith is a lovely bit of kit but I'm not sure how well it will do TC - that's something I'll look forward to when I have a little more time to play.

All of them came as kits with atty's - none look particularly good, especially the nasty one on the Wraith. Hadalay and O'atty are good. Again for me, a 22mm BF Goon would be perfect.

So, LV, for me at least is the best of the bunch. Certainly it costs more but in comparison to the Inbox those extra pounds show. Close on its heals would be the Wraith, nicely built but lacks the DNA board. The Inbox has the DNA board but feels, well; a bit effort in design and construction wouldn't have left it at the bottom of the group.
If there is one fault with the Therion that irritates it's the silly internal black plastic divider that separates the bottle from the battery, it's fiddly and doesn't seem to locate with any precision - happily it doesn't affect any function.

I bought mine from Gearbest early in the month with a spare door (black elephant leather looks lovely) - cost was just over £85.00 IIRC and delivered in 7 days.

If I could find a LV Halcyon that would be me sorted on the squonking front!

@Chuck Norris, there's a wraith in the classies, with an extra rda (tsunami), for £35; probably can't go wrong at that price [emoji4]

Edit: sold already, you've gotta be fast with @mannikon around! [emoji6]

To muddy the waters further I really like the wraith. Build quality is fantastic. The supplied rda is poop but that goes without saying. Importantly it takes 24mm rda' s with no overhang. And the 10ml bottle is handy. I am awaiting the next wave of twin cell mods. I picked up a dripbox 160 to tide me over for those crazy build high watt moments and have to say it's been very good. I bought the steel one to save time on paint peeling off. I like the power setting on the wraith. If using big kanthal coils it can hit hard, fast.

Wraith is good alright.
Main reason I grabbed a second one is the fire button is playing up a bit on my current one so with the new one I can risk taking steps to fix the button!
Adjustable ramp up is a great touch on the Wraith and the bottle I reckon is more like 12.5ml [emoji106]

The VTInbox and the Therion both use the same board so thats purely a choice of fornat as function is pretty much equivalent, the therion has a better sqounk tube connection system but it's limited to the tube size that is supplied - The tubes that come with Sunbox 8.5ml BF silicone bottles doesn't fit - otherwise they would make the Therion almost perfect. I couldn't possibly comment on the Wraith but will say that every Squonker needs a decent atty - Get an SXK Hadaly clone - for £12 ish it's a top buy and will improve more or less any device that has a cheap OEM supplied squonk atty...
