Squonk , this is definitely the buzzword of late, and squonk itself has become a popular vape style.
Squonk not only has the convenience of RTA , but also has the flavor of RDA , it can be said to be a one-of-a-kind 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 essential oil to use all day thanks to the essential oil 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 own squonk kits and related products.
Advantages of Squonk
One of the biggest advantages of squonk is the extreme convenience 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 thing they like most about this squonk mod is that it only works with RDAs. Many 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 a suitable atomizer, and the price is also affordable, so it can be said that squonk mods also have a great economic advantage.
Kits like the Kanger Dripbox are very reasonably priced, buying the whole set is arguably cheaper than buying separate combos of fish and tanks.
Disadvantages of squonk
Unless the top cap of the atomizer is clear so that the vaper can see the build wire and wick, it is difficult to ensure that the wick is sufficiently saturated with e-juice. This will result in dry hits. Or over squonking, which will flood the build plate with e-juice, leading to leaks and squirting. Neither of these are good. It takes time for vapers to adapt, to find the most stable and suitable option for their device and atomizer.
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 quality device at a reasonable price is still a long way off. If you stick with the big manufacturers, there are not many options at the moment, but they may open up to this market 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 form fool you. The Squeeze still fires up to 50W, holds a 6.5ml tank, 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 heat, it only runs on battery voltage.
VT Inbox V2
Most users of the VTinbox version 1 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.
The Maze v1.1 atomizer is size 22, with an aluminum alloy cap for optimal heat dissipation. The juice tray is also much shorter, making the atomizer small and compact, true to the Squonker's compact nature. The side airflow mechanism under the coil remains unchanged, optimizing the flavor particles. The smoke path is also much shorter than the Maze V2. There are 3 more horizontal airflow holes on each side, a total of 6 horizontal airflow holes and 4 bottom airflow 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 spacious chamber comfortable for different types of wire. In addition, Athena also has an essential oil tank containing up to 6.5ml, more than enough for a day.
