Stupid questions from a non-squonker.

Q1. Can you use a squonk mod as a regular mod?

Q2. Are 510 pins in squonk mods usually spring loaded?

I ask because I'm thinking about getting a Sigelei Fuchai 213 Squonk mod for cheap because it takes 21700/ 20700/18650 and because it has a door to cover the bottle area.

But the pics I see look like the 510 pin is more recessed than on regular mods and I could not find anything about having a spring on the 510.

Yes you can use a squonk mod as a regular mod.

Unless it's a mech mod it will be spring loaded 99% of the time nowadays. The mod you're looking at has a spring loaded 510 and will work fine with a tank on the top.

Saw a post on FT were someone said...

The 510 on this mod is self-adjusting but the range of adjustment is not huge. Most RDAs should work if their 510 pin doesn't stick out too far. I had one that left a gap under the RDA because the bf 510 screw head stuck out too far. I have not had one be too short of those that I have tried.

Just an FYI for anyone interested.

Perhaps these might be the solution for some...

Well as it turns out, the 510 pin on this mod is not be spring loaded. Also, it won't fire a tank or RDA (other than the RDA it came with) unless it happens to have a protruding 510 pin as the 510 pin on the mod is much further down in the 510 than usual. It has to protrude about 2 mm or so.

Luckily I have many 510 heat sinks with adjustable pins that allow me to use this mod as a non-squonker, so it's all good.
