    Hello fellow ECF members.:2cool:
    I'd like to discuss the DOVPO + Across PUMP SQUONKER that was sent to me by DOVPO for the purpose of providing a fair and honest review. Took me a bit longer to finish this review, had some delays because of the customs but here we go.;)

    Let's see what do we have here:
    it's not a disposable vape, not a pod, not a podmod or AIO, it's a Squonker!:thumb:
    Also not just a Squonker - it's a Pump Squonker so no soft bottles to play with, it has a buit in Pump to deliver your juice inside your rda.:banana:

    Colour options available:

    I've got the Gunmetal one and I have to admit it looks stylish and fancy.:drool:

    2. Automatically E-pump BF System
    3. Chipset For Protections, Such As Over-heat, Over-charge Protections (and others.)

The classy chipset offers a superior level of protection. Armed with full CNC lathe precision machining, it intricates levels of craftsmanship and durability.

    Goes pretty tight for the last few twists.

    Pump Juice Pin:
    full

    it goes all the way to the bottom of the juice pod and pumps the juice directly to your RDA.
    No pump back options tho.:unsure:

    Be careful with the juice bottle:
    full

    it has a 9ml capacity - don't overpump the juice into your RDA.

    Setting up the kit:
    full

    Was testing it with the 0.2 0hm coils from the Dovpo Ni80 premade coils set and I'm very pleased with the results. :thumbs:

    Ready to Squonk:
    full

    it's not the most compact or light device, but it has a very nice handfeal with the bottons in the right places and the weight it also right for a serious squonk device.

    Pump Working Vid:

    (tried to upload it on ECF media but it was showing black screen for some reason).

    Some important info from the manufacturer about the service life of the pump:

    Pump systems have been used in many fields are very mature:

    Pharmaceutical industry; Medical device industry; Electronic technology; Chemical industry; Mining and metallurgy industries; Paper industry; Paint coating industry; Food industry; Ceramic industry; Oil industry; Water treatment industry;

    Cumulative operating life of pump≥300hr(Test conditions:ON 10sec OFF 5sec)
    Test data:Extract 10ml juice in 3mins

    Let's say you consume 20ML of juice a day(You can calculate according to your own situation)

    The following formula helps you visualize it.

    How much juice can be sucked out:
    (60mins/6mins)*20ml*300hr=60000ml

    How long does the pump last:
    60000ml/20ml/365days≈8.2year

    Let's check the important facts about the Squonker:

    Pros:
    - Made of quality materials+fancy looking.
    - Electric Pump with an over 8years of projected lifespan.
    - Handy buttons.
    - 9ml tank.
    - Works with any popular external battery.
    - Feels like a decent device worth the money.
    - Good Vaping experience.

    Cons:
    - Not so easy to use/Not so user friendly compared to other vape types. And it's not even
    because it's a squonker. Pump squonking is actually easy to operate, you just need to be careful not to overpump the e-liquid. The more problems for the beginner vapers is in building an RDA with the juice pin Imho - be careful with the compact ones, especially if you have big hands - building the coil might be a real problem for you with the tight space and very small details.
    - Cost around 100USD which is not a fortune for a quality squonk but it's more expensive than some other popular devices on the market.
    - Pump botton is a bit loose, it "plays" :banana:
    - Battery had no protective door but it comes with some protective sleeve tho.
    - No charging options - you'll need to charge your batteries externally.

    My Final Thoughts on DOVPO + Across PUMP SQUONKER:


    I believe Dovpo + Across made a very decent modern Pump Squonk device.
    It might be not the cheapest and not the easiest device to use on the market but it is definitely a quality Squonk with a rare pump feature I'm sure you will like it.
    When buying this kit remember to get yourself few high quality batteries (I recommend 21700 ones) and a good RDA you are familiar with not to ruin your vaping experience.
    If you'll follow my advices I'm sure you will also have a quality Vape Time with the Pump Squonker by Dovpo :nun:

    Overall rank 8.5/10 by Dreamvaper.
    I had a good time testing the device and I'm pleased with it and I can surely recommend this device expecially if you don't have a Squonker in your Vape collection yet :thumb:

    Thanks for reading:thumbs:

    Somewhere between here and there
    Do you agree with the pro's and con's list? :2cool:

    The Pros I do agree with. As far as the Cons go, I don't really think it's difficult to use despite the pump not sucking liquid back if you over squonk. I've been using it since I received it for review and am really liking it. I just count to myself when pressing the pump button. However, for new users I guess it could be slightly difficult. I do agree that there should be a cover for the battery like there is on the Abyss. A USB C charge port would be nice but most people recommend not charging batteries in a mod. I do sometimes though.
