Squonk , this is definitely the term that has been bandied about recently, and squonk itself has become a popular style of vape.
Squonk not only has the convenience of RTA , but also the flavor of RDA , it can be said to be a one-in-one device, which is also the reason why vapers prefer to choose this type of machine. Not only that, a squonk machine can ensure you have enough e-juice to use all day thanks to the e-juice tank that comes with most devices.
Squonk has also recently entered the mainstream of vaping with most major manufacturers such as Kanggertech, Steamcrave and Aspire releasing their squonk kits and related products.
Advantages of Squonk
One of the biggest advantages of squonk is that it is incredibly convenient while still providing the full benefits of smoke and flavor from an RDA.
Most squonk mods come with a plastic tank that holds around 7-10ml. This means that vapers can carry around enough e-juice for the entire day without having to carry around a tank of e-juice, making squonk mods extremely convenient to use on the go.
Furthermore, the e-liquid tank only pushes the e-liquid up to the atomizer when the vaper squeezes it, so users can carry the entire device with them without worrying about leaks.
According to users, the best thing about this squonk mod is that it only works with RDAs. Many of the most popular and well-known RDAs on the market come with or are available with BF pins, which means they can be used with any squonk mod.
The operation is also very simple, just squeeze the bottle of essential oil, you can wet the cotton without any problem (unless you accidentally press too hard and flood the build base). Vapers can vape all day without having to lift the top handle of the atomizer to add essential oil.
Some perfect kits also give you a squonk mod and suitable atomizer, and the price is also affordable, so it can be said that squonk mod also has a great economic advantage.
Kits like the Kanger Dripbox are very reasonably priced, buying the whole set is arguably cheaper than buying the combo fish separately and the tank separately.
Disadvantages of squonk
Unless the top cap is clear so you can see the build wire and wick, it can be difficult to ensure that the wick is saturated with e-juice. This can lead to dry hits. Or over-squonking, which can flood the build plate, leading to leaks and squirting. Neither of these are fun. It takes time for vapers to adapt, to find the most stable and suitable option for their device and wick.
The squonk market is growing rapidly, with major manufacturers entering the market, making it even more popular. However, your options for a popular and affordable squonk kit are still very limited.
While there is still a large market for high-end squonk mods, the numbers are very limited, so finding a good one at a reasonable price is still a long way off. If you’re sticking with the big manufacturers, there’s not much to choose from at the moment, but they may open up more in the future.
Typical squonk kits
Eleaf Pico Squeeze – 50W
The Eleaf Pico is one of the earliest kit-style squonk mods, and can be said to be the squonk version of the iStick Pico.
The Pico Squeeze is the smallest squonk mod on the list, measuring just 46 x 23 x 75mm. But don’t let its cute little shape fool you. The Squeeze still has a 50W output, a 6.5ml tank capacity, and runs on a single 18650 battery.
If you want the simplest device possible, the Pico Squeeze is the best choice. But if you want something more advanced, then you should not choose it. The Pico Squeeze does not adjust the power or the heat, it only runs on battery voltage.
VT Inbox V2
Most users of the first VTinbox prefer to use the PEI cable cap over the Maze v2 square cable, but the PEI insulation only gives a good experience when the distance between puffs is long. When continuously puffing, the PEI cable heats up but then cools down quite a while. The manufacturer has paid attention to this detail and launched the Squonk Mod Edition with the Maze 1.1, with an aluminum alloy cap, heats up quickly, but the heat dissipation time is also very fast, when used continuously it gives the best experience.
Maze v1.1 atomizer size 22, aluminum alloy cap for optimal heat dissipation. The juice cotton tray is also much shorter, making the atomizer small and short, true to the compactness of Squonker. The side air mechanism under the coil remains unchanged, optimizing the flavor particles. The smoke path is also much shorter than Maze V2. There are 3 more horizontal air holes on each side, a total of 6 horizontal air holes and 4 bottom air holes, all focused on the Squonk mod.
Geekvape Athena Squonk Kit
Add a squonk mod that runs on a single 18650 battery. The Geekvape Athena is a small device made from anodized aluminum.
Anti-slip button with sturdy locking mechanism right below the ignition button, convenient operation. Safe. Spring-loaded positive connector, burner legs of different lengths can be fitted tightly on the Athena mech box body.
RDA burner with top-side wind mechanism (wind bend like on Sentinel RDA), even, cool, smooth smoke chamber. Combined with a comfortable wide chamber for different types of wire. In addition, Athena also has an essential oil tank that holds up to 6.5ml, more than enough for a day.
