To Squonk or Not to Squonk.... Question Answered

See, I get that but for me it’s no difference than squeezing juice in my tank.

Scenario A.
Get a new battery out from your pocket or bag and remove it from it’s case, pull the old battery out, insert the new battery and place the old one in the case. Put it back in your pocket or bag or whatever.

Scenario B.
Get a bottle of juice out from your pocket or bag and remove the cap. Remove RTA top cap, squeeze in the juice and then recap the tank. Replace cap on bottle and put it back where you got it.

Like I said, for me it just wasnt a game changing experience that made it worth it.

I take my DB 160 to work every day with my moded chalice 3 and I can vape for a day and a half with 2 full batteries so it works for me :smiley:

But do you keep it in your pocket? I cant really set my mod down anywhere as I am always on the move. The Dripbox has the same dimensions as the Reuleaux and there is no way I could carry my RX200s around in my pocket all day.

When you use a squonker you’re not limited to whatever is in your tank. There’s nothing preventing you from dripping whatever you want whenever you want. What’s truly amazing about squonking to me is I can use the RDA in all it’s normal performance except I can do so with one hand without having to set the mod down.

So far the only trade offs I’ve found are not having to drip…and that’s it. But that could also be because I have several of the triple battery mods so the form factor and weight are already something I’m used to. I don’t believe I’ll be going on a squonk buying frenzy. But honestly I think anyone who enjoys RDAs would enjoy squonking too. Just a matter of taste I reckon.

I suppose that could be what’s shaping my opinion of the db 160’s size. I’ve quickly gotten used to using a reuleaux rx300 as my regular vape so the db actually seems a little small! But if @louiesquared is needing something that’s comfortable in his pocket, then that’s not gonna work so well.

Ditto. Just looks like a huge pain to me.

The shorter life of a single 18650 and bulk of a larger mod has kept me on the fence in regards to purchasing a squonker.
However, I like the idea of having a dedicated RDA in the car I can refill without having to drip.

I enjoy having dedicated mods, for example my RX200 (three battery) is my desktop/roadtrip mod. I keep a two battery mod with an RTA in my pocket as my walking mod.

For me, if it wasn’t for drastic temperature changes in my truck, I would have purchased a multi-battery squonker as my dedicated vehicle mod while my pocket mod would serve as a flavor changer while driving. The idea of having to take the large mod out and lug it around doesn’t appealing me.

I may eventually look into a 26650 or perhaps a smaller, high powered lipo squonker when the vape budget allows for it.

Yeah I’m late to the party here but have to toss my safety advice out there anyway. That’s me. I’d never advocate pushing a single celled 18650 device past 80w from a safety perspective. And the cell life will definitely suffer quickly.

*Sorry, can’t help it. Safety first at all times with me.

Maybe I worded that wrong or you misread it. I vape 80-120 on dual battery devices because I cant get a comparable vape with lower wattge from a single battery device. This is one of the reasons that I don’t squonk.

It wasn’t targeted at you in any way. Just an opportunity to get a PSA out there.

If you can live with single battery the topside is hard to better.

@Ths1MxrChk is right. Lost Vape Drone. Not sure if you can find one these days or not. It is a DNA 250 mod and in a word…fantastic.

That said, if you’re wanting to foray into squonking and like the looks of the Drone, I can recommend a much cheaper yet still fantstic dual battery mod. It’s the Wismec Luxotic DF…

I’ve been very happy with this mod. It’s a little above average quality construction except for the little door that covers the compartment the squonk bottle goes in. Fasttech has it for $55 US.

Just got the Boxer 250C, Santa came early, while it’s a great gift I would be pissed if I ended up paying that much money for a not perfect mod, I am elated on getting my hands on one, it has
some flaws, I am going to put it through it’s paces, and hopefully do a non professional review on it, but I need some time to cover my bases, just got it today, I will be taking my beater pulses to work still though in the meantime.

I replaced my dual 18650 gbox (finally) with simple single 18650 squonkers. Nothing fancy really, but was eyeballing the 75c however people say battery life is horrible, that’s why I didn’t buy one yet lol

Surprisingly these cheap single battery devices aren’t that bad.

I don’t squonk all the time, I mostly use my rta on my favorite 250c.(regular mod) Therefore I don’t actually want to buy a 250c squonker, but I love replay! Definitely keeping an eye on this topic.
