Do you just remove the rta and fill through the squonk hole but in reverse? I’ve seen the refill bottles before but never actually understood their purpose.

Got an ageis squonk showing up Friday I hope it’s good otherwise I’ll just get another TD or so. Looked at the TS or TL but I only have 18650s

My only problem with the Topside Dual is the battery door that keeps popping open and chucking the batteries out. The TS single is fine though, I’m running 3 of them :grinning:

We should rename this forum “let’s talk about squonk bottles”.
Just saying.

I am running a Haku Riviera RDTA clone on top of my Pulse X. So Squonk and RDTA. Functions pretty well and looks nice.

My Topside Dual is going to retire soon, I never found a solution for the taste problem. After cleaning it tastes fine for a while but the taste of the silicone is coming through eventually. Both bottles are the same but I’m going to buy a spare bottle to see if that makes a difference.
I’ve given my 2nd TD to a friend and his seems to be fine. He’s using stronger liquids with menthol and he didn’t complain so far.

Looks great :+1:. I’m seriously considering buying that mod. Some of the reviews slam it for not hitting as hard as they think it should in TC mode. They described it as a sort of pulsing of the power when it hits the high temp threshold. I think they are comparing the resulting warmth and vapor density/feel to other mods at the particular TC threshold setting they put in. I’m thinking “just set it a little bit higher”, problem solved :smirk:

Let me know what you think of it if you get a chance. Also does yours have the ABS, or the Steel body?

I have 2 of them, and really like them. You may have to do a little internet digging but you maybe able to get it for a good price. My first one was from eBay, lol! Like $35 to the house. After that they dried up. I just recently found some but they weren’t cheap, $50. But I did get an aluminum alloy silver frame. My ABS frame is black. The bottles are so soft, but putting high VG juice in it isn’t a great idea. The battery compartment is super tight depending on the battery and some won’t fit!!! Battery life is that of a single coil mod, plan that build accordingly, regardless of tc or wattage! They are super light weight. I liked the performance well enough to buy the second one. I love the wood toned panels.

@Robin14 I’m so glad to hear you’re thoughts on this mod.

What can you tell me about the aluminum vs. ABS frame? Does one look better than the other? Would you pick one over the other? I haven’t found a review that mentions frame material.

I don’t think I understand what you mean. Are you saying there is a relationship between the softness/hardness of the bottle and thinness/thickness of the juice?

I have all Molicel P42A 21700’s. The manufacturer list the length as 70.2 mm. I think the button top adds the 0.2 mm. I hate to think fitting a battery might be a problem.

I’ll try to do some comparison pics for ya. And Vapecell is the brand I used and it’s still in my first one, likely needing charged! I had no issues with the Vapecells. I did hear how good the Molis were from Youtube

Are you enjoying Yr aegis squonk?

7 Likes

So far yes. Haven’t used it away from the house yet so not sure about the single battery. Also have the profile 1.5 on it but idk if I like it yet. I think the regular profiles are better but I haven’t messed around with it to see if I can enjoy it more.

The bottle is a lot more firm then my other squonks so that’s another adjustment. Not sure which I like more

Yes, joy, joy, I’m back. Not that I have the review I promised, but I do have digital calipers with a dead battery! That’s not half as awesome as the digital scales I have that my husband used to weigh other vape-able substances and put somewhere I can’t fathom. BUT! I got the calibers to kick over, faint but there (note to self CR44H button top battery, get 1!) The silver is supposed to be the aluminum one. It is slightly wider and slightly deeper than the ABS one. Height is close enough to allow for margin of error. My 20700 Vapecell battery is about 2 ¾” dead on so that’s just about 69.85 mm. I’d say keep it under 70, cause it is a tight fit. Sorry but Mollies ain’t happening. Not to mention I jacked up the wrapper of the Vapecell, trying to get it into the silver one. I did that to the T30s too when I first tried with the black ones, which is why I got some extra wraps off eBay, back when they were vape friendlyish. Battery life is no way as good as the TVL Delta. But, it’s pretty, light, easy to use and pocket/purse friendly. Scale found, mission complete. 96.94 the silver ones weighs in at compared to 96.67 the black one ways in @. The black is the ABS, supposedly. And, apparently lighter. I may have a bitch of a time getting a battery in the silver one. I’d love to get some panels tho, wouldn’t you? Would I buy another? Nope, but that’s why I bought 2! Silver frame I like better but black frame has walnut looking panels, (and that was all eBay had at the time) nice!! But I’d like some more panels. My favorite thing about this? Bigger attys and no hangover! Unprepared after having a lengthy time to be prepared? You betcha, but frequently, it is how I roll.

Thank you for the feedback. I placed an order last night for the black ABS with the red woodgrain panels. I chose to order it from Fasttech because the price was $35 and I planned to use the 15% off 8th anniversary code “FASTTECH2020” to bring the price down close to the other places that had the ABS versions for cheap. Nobody had the Aluminum ones for less than $58. Fasttech also had several RDA clones I want. The problem is, the code was only valid through Sept 2nd. By the time I decided which RDA’s I would remove from the cart(I had way to many), I was 3 minutes late and it wouldn’t take the code :disappointed:

I found another code that said 25% off entire order. The code was “PRICECONTROLL” and to my surprise, it was accepted but no discount was reflected in the final checkout price. I reluctantly placed the order anyway because I didn’t want to lose my items. I opened a help ticket to explain and ask for a PayPal refund of 25% since it said code accepted. It doesn’t hurt to ask.

So now I have mod on way and I may have to run it using a different brand (shorter) 21700 battery🙁 . I do have a single of a different brand, maybe that will fit? We shall see.

I hate it when orders don’t go smooth. I do look forward to using the Arctic Dolphin Anita along with several single coil flavor RDA clones. Looks like I gave the short story long-version :face_with_hand_over_mouth: . I guess it wasn’t a problem if you read all the way to here :laughing:

Lol, that is as good as my tale of woe! Ever have one of those FML moments? Your bargain hunting skills impress me! That day late, dollar short crap gets old, doesn’t it? In the end, you persevered; got as close as you could and crossed your fingers and pulled the trigger, just like I would have done it. But the end part about opening a ticket is genius cause it might just work. Bravo sir. I think you’ll be pleased. Well, after ya shoe horn that battery in there…btw, when ya get it in there, leave it!!!It does charge fine with the on board thank God. Seriously, I shoulda led with that.

I was reading reviews where a common complaint is the squonk bottle is a bit narrow for the housing making it a bit of a reach to poke your finger in to squonk the bottle. In the comments people mentioned better square bottles that fit the Anita and alot of other squonk boxes. Fasttech has them so I have one the way. Two different brands were mentioned, each having several color choices.

This is the one I ordered:
SKU 8444700 , YFTK Replacement Bottom Feeder Bottle for BF Squonk Mod,
8.5ml / silicone + 316 stainless steel,
Dimensions: metric
Depth 18 mm
Height 46 mm
Product Weight 13 g
Width 18 mm

The other is:
SKU 9011101
Authentic Iwodevape Replacement Bottom Feeder Bottle for BF Squonk Mod, 8.5ml / silicone
Dimensions: metric
Depth 18 mm
Height 46.5 mm
Product Weight 13 g
Width 18 mm
