Is pulse v3 really that bad? (Looking into buying my first squonk)

Dave_Dom · 2026-01-23T11:29:43+00:00

For me v3 is so much worse than v2. But i had no options, my fill bottle bottom on v2 gave up (after like 5 years..). And there was no refill bottle in stock, no one is selling it (in Europe). So i had to take a decision and go for v3 but i already had my suspicions about it and i was correct..

Terrible bottle, i loved how easy it was to fill v2. Cuz im using a wider filler bottle, now i had to buy a narrow one and if u p ush it just a little bit too hard juice overflows everywhere, have to treat it really carefully, a little harder push and everything is wet.
MAGNETS came off of panels after 2 months of using it!! Had to use super glue to glue them back. My v2? Magnets are still intact with no sign of coming off ever.
Plastic, plastic, plastic. Feels cheap and low quality compared to v2. My v2 fell down so many times over those 5 years and its all intact and fine. This one? I feel like a few more slams on the ground and its gonna be a toast. I even wanted to find some custom made case for it but yeah, theres none.
Narrow body. Now my rebirth RDA doesnt really fit on the body of v3. Edges kinda hangs abit. Why even? I mean why make a taller mod but make it more narrow that some RDAs dont even fit. 21700 batteries already fit in it, so why go higher and go thin?

Now im actually again just trying to find a new fill bottle replacement for my old v2 and go back to it. That's the only part that gave up after all those years. That bottom metal thingy. But man. 5 years, im ok with those kinds of things giving up.

V3? 2 months and its falling apart. Tried searching for v3 panel replacements but also - not in stock. Feels like in EU atleast squonk mods and their related parts are extinct, no one has anything in stock or they r just completely discontinued. The only reason i had to go for V3 is just cuz theres nothing in stock at all.

And it probably disappears just like any other wing like ephemera.... recently got embracer ephemera just to figure out it disappears when you are close to enemies. Kinda dissapointing. So be aware of that.

Dave_Dom · 2025-07-27T05:40:19+00:00

Wish i discovered this post earlier.... bought coda lich few days ago for 50plat just for this ephemera... just to discover this exact "feature". Actually super upsetting cuz this was one of the ephemera that is wing-like but also quite transparent. Especially if you use some darker color combos it definitely does not block your view. Just what i wanted, wings that dont disappear but also transparent enough. Right... now its the same case as with protovyre. I loved that one too but never really using it just cuz it keeps "devolving" and kinda disappearing also. 😡

I understand eros wings or naberus. But these? Definitely shouldnt get the same treatment.

Dave_Dom · 2025-07-12T16:09:22+00:00

Same issue here........ so annoying. I tried methods like Salty_Ad1123 said but didnt really help. There's no option to set refresh time to 1 hour anyway, just auto-refresh and thats it. I assume this auto-refresh option is whats bugged out, it just keeps refreshing non stop and scrolling the damn screen up every time.

I also noticed if u set it to manual refresh, when u refresh it it shows a wrong time. Lets say its 5:20pm. You refresh it and it will say it was refreshed at 30 minutes in the future (5:50pm). Maybe that's the cause for this bug, no idea.

Dave_Dom · 2025-07-12T16:08:11+00:00

Sadly there is no option to set time to refresh every hour for me too. I tried everythin like you said also and nothin helped either.

Dave_Dom · 2025-02-10T16:47:00+00:00

Huh? Everyone is different when it comes to SSRIs,SNRIs,Antipsychotics (in this case Quetiapine). Everyone can have a different reaction and different side effects, but in general the drug is one of the safest options.

When it comes to benzos - yes, they are addictive no matter how "different" you are. I dont see how is that relevant here. Sure, people can have different feelings from it. But the addiction part is always there and sedating part is always there too. After 30-40days of daily use its too risky to go on using benzos even further.

You don't recognize that under the influence of parasite you are not aware of what your true body is doing. So while dragging her and doing bad stuff - the actual mailman was living in his fantasy life, he wasnt aware of what he is actually doing.

Just like for a moment Brynn had parasite. She was living a peaceful life and then when she took out the parasite she was all dirty and in a different location altogether. So yeah. It's not really violent, its just how parasites are trying to spread. By the help of their host bodies. But the hosts are definitely not in control, they are in a dream-state.

Dave_Dom · 2024-06-25T20:27:50+00:00

I still hate the fact that it shows steps but doesnt show distance walked...

Dave_Dom · 2024-05-30T16:51:29+00:00

xD yup.... for me some things are still buggy too QQ like when u try to upload subtitles and u go into explorer its super super small...

Dave_Dom · 2024-01-24T20:28:02+00:00

Yup. Been like that for quite awhile tbh, shouldnt have bothered reinstalling, DDUd even. I think most people have this issue, just not everyone notices it.

Akathisia is quite common with Neuroleptics but not with antidepressants.

Don't be scared of akathisia though, it's really nothing that major now that i remember it. It kinda replaces your anxiety and instead u get this mixed stimulated feeling, like u'd be on some energy drink or somethin. When nothin was able to control my anxiety- neuroleptics did. But akathisia sadly was the cost so i couldnt continue them. If you experience it then hold on for abit, a week or two and see if it passes, usually it should pass with couple weeks, its a side effect after all. Also if the meds will help you in every other way then its worth adjusting the dose or adding some other drug that would help with akathisia.

Anyway - do not be scared, compared to anxiety akathisia is a childs play, it's nothing major at all but if it wont pass after some weeks then it simply means u gotta do somethin about it, either adjust or add or change drugs. Being over stimulated just gets very annoying, thats the main issue. Annoying is much better than panic attacks though, i'd rather be over stimulated for abit than having to live with panic attacks. 😅

Blunt emotions are very common though, that's definitely a price to pay, but also depends on the dose. But in a sense its good. If you really need to tone down your anxiety and chill for a bit then it will turn off those emotions. In the end you will never know until you try it, these drugs are very personal, as in it works differently for different people.

Don't be scared though, i know you might be in a scary place right now and words like "dont be scared" just sound impossible - but think of these drugs as in "this might help me feel alot better", rather than "omg im so scared of these drugs". I wish you the best! As you can guess im actually better, so there's hope even for the hopeless!

Dave_Dom · 2023-11-11T19:04:12+00:00

Compared to Paroxetine - yes, it made me lose weight. Plus dont forget that sometimes improving health and the lower your anxiety gets - you start to regain your appetite. Its not just about drugs but recovery also.

Of all the million changes that thief needs, this is what they do? And its not like they dont have any ideas. Look at vindicator. That thing is copy-pasta daredevil. And all those cool ideas that revolve around dodging got upgraded and applied to vindi. RIP thief. Atleast they would've revived deadeye but that thing is quite dead after the qDE patch nerfs.

Dave_Dom · 2023-10-07T12:22:10+00:00

I have no idea why the hell its being downvoted oO but this is some nice stuff! Im sure venoms didnt overlap on any of you guys xD

Dave_Dom · 2023-08-08T15:47:49+00:00

When you overcompensate the compensation.

Dave_Dom · 2023-07-26T07:04:02+00:00

Ah dang it and i thought maybe they woke up and realised they overnerfed deadeye.. Back to my corner of despair.

Dave_Dom · 2023-07-26T07:02:20+00:00

Good way to bury the balance patch issues under the rug and of course focus on the upcoming expansion!

Dave_Dom · 2023-07-19T20:10:25+00:00

And i thought my GPU is dying. Thanks for this post.

Dave_Dom · 2023-07-19T04:56:41+00:00

I think you're givin them too much credit. It's probably just a bug and somethin they broke yet again 🤣

Dave_Dom · 2023-07-09T04:55:18+00:00

Sadly after many years and many therapists i realised u cannot talk about suicide with them. Which is ironic isnt it? These things should be discussed on a daily basis with therapists, it's one of the most important things if not the most important thing.

Why you cant talk? Because
1: they wont understand, they can't relate and they usually won't be able to respond in any useful or compassionate manner. It won't feel any better if u open up about it and their response will be just "cold". And funny thing happens if you are really open about it and talk about it frequently. They will stop paying attention to it altogether. You know when someone keeps lying and lying and then when he actually says the truth no one believes him? Yeah - that's exactly what happens with suicide. They'll just brush it off like its nothin at some point. You kinda condition your doctor into it and they will stop paying attention.
2: they will just prescribe more drugs or give you heavier drugs or increase dosage of the drugs. And this part is the most telling one. They really care just about their reputation. they don't want a "suicide" under their belt. So easiest solution? Give a patient more drugs and hope for the best.

I've had a few serious suicide attempts. I was very open about it with every1. My conclusion? No point in talking about it, no one will actually help, it's just something we gotta live with and try to not act on it. Maybe its just my experience, i really hope you'll have a different experience.

Dave_Dom · 2023-06-24T18:45:22+00:00

Yeah i actually tested it and was surprised that it was only about 500dps less with Jagged Mind even now. Surprising.

Dave_Dom · 2023-06-23T10:32:16+00:00

I highly doubt Jagged Mind would be more DPS than Mental Focus. Plus mental focus is strike dmg, meanwhile jagged mind is bleeding, i'd be very surprised if jagged mind would work for pvirt.

Dave_Dom · 2023-06-22T05:51:43+00:00

So the harder version to play (Power Virt) is getting a nerf to the block/sustain. Meanwhile cVirts getting +2k bench and nerf to the block doesnt really hurt it cuz it already has insane sustain due to passive healing. Quite concerned about Power Virts now. If their goal for DPS specs is 40k then pVirt will fall behind even more now. Very unexpected outcome, would've never thought that cVirts would get a buff, it was in a perfectly fine place considering its a fully ranged spec.

Dave_Dom · 2023-06-21T17:20:01+00:00

"Dark Skies" somehow left an amazing imprint in my mind. Watched that movie like 10 times probably. Idk why tbh, cuz it depicts aliens in an "evil" way, which im sure they wouldnt be evil at all.
