Never had a Squonker yet..
Can anyone give me 3 reasons why I should get one
How about five?
1) Unlike a tank, it doesn't t cook your juice by having it in intimate contact with your hot vaporization chamber.
2) It's far less sensitive to temperature and pressure/altitude changes than a tank because it doesn't depend on minute pressure differentials to control the flow of juice. I loved my Kayfuns, but I could pretty much count on them flooding on during road trips that involved more that a few hundred meters of altitude change, or when coming out of an air conditioned house into 35C heat in the summer.
3) Easy access to your build. Wanna inspect or work on your build? Pull the cap off the atty. No muss, no fuss, no need to empty the tank or figure keep the upside-down tank in position to avoid spilling your juice.
4) You don't have to drip. The above problems with tanks can be avoided by using a traditional RDA, but then you have to drip constantly.
5) Easy testing of flavor combinations. Put one flavor in the bottle. Think it might go well with another? Drip in a bit of the other one and find out.

Thanks!

I started dripping for the flavor, moved to squonking for the flavor of dripping with far more convenience.

Reason 1: If you're not with us, you're against us ... you don't want to be against us, do you? Get a squonker.

Reason 2: You know the old saying, the grass is always greener on the other side? Well who gives a crap about the grass, just get a squonker.

Reason 3: Do you remember back in the 80's when you were all excited about the new Dune movie, and then it turned out to be a big steaming pile of crap? A good sqounker will never do that to you. Get a squonker.

Other reasons -- see @Rossum's post above.

For MTL setups on a squonker, I use and like the following MTL RDAs on my squonk mods: Vapefly Galaxies, Digiflavor Etna, Cthulhu 1928, Ambition Mods Spiral RDA, and the VandyVape Berserker. Of these, I'd rank the Galaxies and 1928 slightly higher than the others.

Also, the Holic (mentioned above by Mordacai) looks good -- I haven't tried it, but it seems like an updated version of the Galaxies deck/airflow and is next on my list to try out (it seems efun.top has them for 14.99, so I'm going to order one or two now).

oh damn, you gave me 3 true reasons I should get one, haha :)
Problem is I wasn't born yet in the 80's :(!

Thanks for your replies all.

1- Flavor and reliability of dripping without having to drip constantly.
2- Convenience of a RTA without the leaking problems.
3- You can be one of the cool kids.

I can't comment on an MTL set up personally, but I have heard a good inexpensive way to try MTL squonking out is a Vandy Vape Simple EX kit.

I never thought I’d have a squonker, but I was squonk curious. Then I saw the Luna and thought I’d give it a try. So pretty and affordable I couldn’t resist.

The only reason I can give you to try it is if you want to see if you like it.

I’m not going to say I can’t believe I waited so long, because I waited as long as I needed to, till I was ready.

Above all, I’m a flavor chaser and I’ll vape anything that gives me great flavor. Squonking does that better than other methods imho.

Difficult for me to do that, since the gear I use is all old-school and no longer available. It also wasn't cheap by any definition, but it will last a lifetime.

Since you want regulated and are MTL, I would look at a topside mod:
Topside Single 21700 Top Fill Squonker
It will take a 21700 but comes with an 18650 adapter.
In the US, they're currently available for $68.

For an atty, I'd try:
Berserker MTL RDA | VANDY VAPE® Full Steam Ahead

The simple ex is adjustable voltage, internal battery, and costs around $35 (USD) for the whole kit including rda. If you like squonking then it would serve as a nice backup to whatever you decide to upgrade to.
Vandy Vape Simple EX Squonk Kit | Vape System

MTL suggestions.....Ammit RDA, KF Lite, Ataman V2....there are loads. Do a search on Fastech :)

FastTech - Gadgets and Electronics

As far as squonking goes it's a great way to vape with your RDA's...if you've got tanks then not so much I suppose. I got into them because I was a confirmed RDA user and I didn't like RTDA's....hope that helps :)
