Well I have both devices and entered into buying these devices with no preconceptions.
Reason why i chose these is that the battery is on the opposite side from the Squonk Bottle and on both protrudes through the top. This design allows the deck for the Atty to be around 1/2 an inch lower. So these units are lower profile then any other models on the market. My only gripe is that both are made out of heavy alloy and I'd prefer a more lite-weight APV.
My experience with both of these APV are very good and both have advantages. But in the end the Eleaf Squeeze 2 is superior to the Ijoy Capo.
1. → Form Factor -Both around same size
2. Controls → The Capo wins in simplicity. But the Squeeze 2 has way more features.
Squeeze has TC which is important to some. It also has a nifty LED in back of the bottle that is Color programmable
3. → Location of Buttons -The Capo wins in Button Placement. The button is located above the Bottle. You press the button and the squeeze bottle in a trigger like motion. Very convenient I use my Ring Finger to squonk and my index to push power button so I don't have to shift my hand go from squonk to power. The Eleaf on the other hand has a side button and I just don't find it as easy. Also I have to change my grip on the Unit to go from sqonk bottle to power button.
4. → Boost Chip - This feature is where the Squeeze 2 blows the CAPO out of the water. The Capo only has a Buck Chip which lowers the Voltage. Squeeze 2 has a buck and boost chip which will boost the voltage. So what is the advantage. 1st it will vape at higher temp for longer. 2nd The battery will also last longer.
I just bought a Voltage Tester from smoktek.com. (Not affiliated with smok ) this is the tester that you want, it does nothing more than shows Voltage that is coming through. Handy to see if your device is putting out the Voltage that's rated.
On the eleaf At 2 bars my Battery was still Shooting out 3.69V which on my .21ohm Maze Atty gave me the 68 watts I wanted. When down to 1 bar it shot out a respectable 3.2V. When I tried the same Battery and Atty on the Capo 1 bar it refused to work. The battery without the boost just gave me a flashing dotted lines. Not enough battery power to fire it reliably. Atty didn't sizzle either.
So with the Eleaf you are going to have your battery boosted as it runs down and with the capo as battery becomes lower it will put out a lower Voltage.
5. Reliability → Both are working well for me but online you see way more complaints about the Capo leaking than the Squeeze 2. Based on how many complaints I found on the Forum the Capo isn't the way to go.
6. Atty → the Capo comes with a SRDA that has changeable coils. It 's a standard dual coil design and you just unscrew and screw a fresh one in. Great Vape.
I will never use the Atty that comes with the Squeeze 2. I'm not into rebuilding anymore BTW there are now two squonking attys with screw in coils. The Vandy Maze and the Ijoy SRDA (Comes with the Capo).
7. Squonk Bottle → The Squonk bottle on the Squeeze 2 is way too loose. It is very soft rubber. I don't like it at all. On the other the Capo has a very nice bottle. Because the Squeeze 2 bottle is so soft it takes longer to saturate your atty and it doesn't pull the liquid back in the bottle as fast as it should. Hands down to the Capo on Bottle.
8. Controls Raising and lowering voltage. I like the V up and down better on the capo. They are larger. On the other hand when you get above 20 Watts on the Squeeze 2 it raises the voltage in 1 Watt increments. This is really sensible and makes it much faster to get to your sweet spot.
I like the Capo better than the Squeeze 2. The controls are simple and the button well placed. Squonk bottle is firmer. Also the timing of the 5 presses to turn on and off the APV is the best I've ever encountered. Regardless of speed of presses It always turns off and on with 5 presses. It's personal but I also like the styling better too. Ergonomically the Capo is a better experience.
But in the end the Boost Chip and better reliability of the Squeeze 2 just makes the Squeeze 2 the better investment.
