Hey, guys. Today I will introduce you a new squonk mod named Hcigar Aurora.

Hcigar AURORA Squonk mod is ergonomic in appearance which features 80 watts of power, temperature control mode, 21700/ 20700/18650 battery compatibility, a unique battery replacement system and a high definition full color display. Design-wise, this mod features beautiful controls with amazing black matte finish over a zinc alloy body. The centerpiece of the Aurora is perhaps the full color high definition display that has a concise menu and makes vape data very easy to read. Indicators on the screen include a battery bar, current mode, current wattage or temperature, current voltage, atomizer resistance and puff counts. Technically, the HCigar Aurora can bring you the experience of superior safe output performance and simple operation methods.

A little review I put together! Hope it helps someone :)

Would I recommend this device?

Yes.

This 80w regulated squonk mod has the most innovative battery tray I have seen. It has the ability to use 21700/20700 and 18650 batteries with no rattle in each case. No adapters needed, just the flick of a switch behind the back panel.

I own 4 20700s and 4 18650s that get used in all of my current mods and I honestly don't want to buy anymore. So this mods versatility is priceless.

The Towis chip it houses has a very fast ramp up time and its menu system and navigation are simple, clean and very easy to use. It can be used in Wattage mode or Temperature Control for all the usual materials. I have only tested the TC on stainless steel, but it does a good job. It makes use of a third smaller button to navigate and change selections on the menu meaning you are not constantly having to press the fire button rapidly. It comes with a micro USB for firmware and charging. You might hear a little noise from the chip when you are firing but only at higher wattages.

It is a little bigger than most single battery squonks but for me, with bigger hands, it fits comfortable in the hand for both thumb or finger firing. With a 20700 battery it weighs more than the likes of the pulse 80w for example. Smaller hands may struggle.

Comes with an incredibly soft silicone bottle and a spare harder one with a travel cap, allowing you to carry up to 14 - 15 ml liquid at one time. Because the bottle is so soft I have to recommend that you make use of a top air flow RDA as I experienced leaking too often from over squonking. I have the Dead Rabbit on top and it works perfectly. Also, because of the softness of the bottle I have had the front panel come off on my thumb many times after a long squonk. Not sure if that's a mod thing or a "my thumbs" thing but fair warning all the same!

Construction overall is very good. Magnetic front and back panels which have never fallen off due to me putting the mod down or shaking it, just when my thumb gets too far in to squonk. But I do feel the magnets could be stronger. Very clicky buttons both to feel and hear. The only issue I have is the fire button. It looks and feels a bit cheap. It works perfectly and has very good haptic feedback, but the plastic Hcigar have used could be better.

I have experienced NO leaking from inside this mod, unlike some other 80w mods out there. I have the stainless steel colour option, and after 3 weeks of hard use, the finish steel looks and feels great. It looks like they will release some new panels to buy seperately because aside from colour you choose, there is nothing on the mod and it feels a bit plain.
(But it does mean you can send both panels away for a custom paint job!)

All in all, this device feels great, looks good and functions brilliantly.
No leaking, excellent chip, feels very nice in the hand. Use a top air flow RDA for best results!

Hope it helps,

Eamonn
