Squonk?

[Vaperer]

I've been looking at the squonk machines and was thinking if anybody here could tell me is it hard to change the cotton? And is this basically a way to put the e-liquid on the Cotton without opening the top am I right?
From what I'm reading about it it seems interesting. Do any of you have a squonk and do you like it. And would you recommend a squonk?
Thanks.

The only difference between a squonk rda and a regular rda is the hollow center pin, so it’s the same as any RDA. So a good bit easier than an RTA, but more complicated than a drop in coil, mostly because you need to have a pair of scissors to cut the cotton. If you ignore the scissor requirement it’s about the same. RDA wicks aren’t nearly as size sensitive as RTA wicks.

Yes with a sqounk your juice is coming from underneath the atty. check out some YouTube vids to get a better understanding. Don't think I've dripped since I got my first sqounk. Allot of sqounk mods are mechanical so make sure you understand ohms law and battery safety first.

I love my mech squonks. Now I just need a few single and dual battery regulated squonks, and to convert all my old drippers to squonkers, so I never have to drip again. I still use some RTA's but once my squonk collection grows some I have a feeling all those old RTA and non-Squonk devices will get put into storage.

A bottom feeder or squonk mod is basically a battery device that has the juice bottle inside of the mod. The cotton wick is replinished with additional e-liquid by pressing the juice bottle through a window in the mod. Excess goes back into the bottle.

It has the advantages of dripping on a RDA with the conveniences of a tank.

There is an art form and some skill to wicking a coil. Sometimes it helps to have a pair of fine pointed tweezers available.



I like the theory of a squonker, I've just not found one to my liking. I can build coils, but as of late I've become a "lazy vaper". Building coils and making a new wick every 3 - 4 days is a chore I no longer like to perform. I like the convenience of using factory-made, drop-in coils in a clearomizer tank. (Uwell Crown 1)

My problem with squonking has always been finding an atomizer that is good for MTL vaping. Most are more for DL.

Lately, I've gotten the NarDa to work pretty well and have a couple of different ones on the way to test.

The concept is great once you get used to it and learn how often and how much to squonk.

dead rabbit sq? I haven't seen a review on YT yet from anyone that is a real MTL vaper but it looks like one of the more promising new RDA I have seen for those that like MTL and DL.

I rarely MTL anymore, and when I did recently it was a cubis pro with a 0.6 mtl coil wide open at 27 watts, but I am hoping the DR SQ might be able to do something similar. It could come in handy for those times I want a low power squonk setup when out and about so I can be sure a single battery and bottle could last all day.

I have seen the Berserker on FT with a BF pin, if that's what it is called? I do not do this squonk thing.

I don't think I could put a Wic in. Bad eyes and hands. I'd like to try one though maybe I can get my wife to do all the maintenance on it. Well it was a good idea anyway.

Well, since I've been using nothing but squonk mods for 7+ years, yes, I'd recommend them

Poke your head in the Liquid Feed APV section, and you'll learn a great deal:

I used mechanical mods for 6+ years (mainly REO's, then Coppervape). For a regulated mod, I think the Hcigar VT Inbox is a great bargain - very solid mod. I've had one since last April and it has worked flawlessly every day. I just got a Hotcig RSQ mod in the mail a couple days ago, but it's too early to give a recommendation. As for an RDA, there are now tons to choose from, depending on your vaping style.

Seems to me like just a whole lot of hassle that I can't deal with. I'm glad I asked because I was just about to buy one. Thanks for the help ladies and gentlemen

Some folks don't want to bother, and use tanks with replaceable coils assemblies on a regulated mod. They work very well, but the coils can be expensive compared to building an RDA. Still better than smoking though.

Squonk? Squonk!

Yah, that's the general idea. It's a mod with a regular old RDA on top, except the RDA has a juice feed hole in the bottom, and the mod has a plastic bottle of juic in it. Give her a squeeze, and you re-wet the cottons (rayon!) Changing the cotton is no harder than changing it in any RDA. And it's easier if you change it to rayon

I own 2 Rdas (rebuildable dripping atomiser)
I use a Gbox squonk kit from Geekvape with my peerless rda, i absolutely LOVE it.
However i went up the chain from the beginning (started with a mtl setup,then sub 0hm, then rebuilding and now rdas and squonkers). I would never say i recommend squonking as it's not for everyone, specially not for beginners. Changing cotton is pretty easy imho but only once you get the hang of it, until then it's a kind of frustrating experience.

I have to say, I'm glad I switched.
Love my squonks so much I got rid of everything else.
