I have had this for just over a month, I intended to write this sooner; however, life happened and I’m getting to it now. The upside to that is that it has been thoroughly put through its paces. I can safely say, this is the MOST Practical squonk mod i have ever owned and it has a bonus feature. Its a little tall for some pocket use, but lite enough to carry, holds a 21700, 20700 or 18650, 10ml of juice and goes up to 90w. With a single coil atty, at around 5ow it will last me all day on one battery without refilling. - perfectly practical for a work mod, or carry around when out with Mrs. B1rd.

What is that bonus feature? You can take the squonk bottle off, put on a battery cover and it turns into a 90w single cell mod for a tank or traditional rda.

So what was it like getting this? I was excited but wasn't sure what to expect. It got here, I opened it up and at first, I didn't know how to feel about it. I started tinkering with it and realized it's so straightforward that it's hard to fault. The buttons were sure footed, no rattle, its lightweight, and has the onboard charger if needed. So it checks all my boxes for regulated mod. (i don't like using onboard chargers, but having them is a plus as a just in case)

You top fill the squonk bottle and can put the cap on the bottom of the mod, where a magnet will hold it in place for you. Very thoughtful, convenient feature that I very much appreciate having.

The extra battery cap, while thoughtful, i don't know that i see that as a major selling point. You have to take the little pin out to use it; however, it does look nice as a single cell mod. - you are given 2 extra pins in the event that you lose the one preinstalled.

The placement of the bottle was a bit awkward at first, but quickly became a nonissue.


As to accuracy, it feels accurate, i get plenty of battery life out of the mod and do not feel it losing power as i deplete the battery. All good in that department in my opinion.


It looks large, how big is it?

Glad you asked, size in pictures can be deceiving. It is a little tall mind you, but depth wise it's not much bigger than the pulse.
The height is from having to put that tube in to let the juice travel across the backside of the mod.

above is the topside lite, next to a boxer21700 and pulse 80w

Also, it holds a 25mm about perfectly, and looks to be able to fit a 26, but anything bigger than a 26mm atty will give you overhang.

What's it like using it as a sole mod on a typical day?

In a word, Great! It's durable, as it has successfully survived my typical punishment with much of a scratch, other than a few niggly marks on the screen. It's been dropped, slid across a wood floor, endured a bottle of water accidentally spilling on it. It still works as I type this.

Generally I fill it up around 8, put in a fresh battery and get my day started. If i'm using a single coil atty at 50-60w the ten mil and battery will last me until 7 or 8 pm. If i'm using a dual coil at 80w, I plan to top it off and swap cells around 430 or 5 pm.


How does it work?

To access the menu press and hold up and fire button. This allows you to swap between tc, power and bypass(run straight off the battery)
If you hold both plus and minus, it locks the adjustment keys
If you press fire 3x it will lock the fire button
If in tc and you want to adjust output wattage, hold down minus and fire button.

That's pretty much it for operation. Very simple to navigate and use, but works great! If you are into tc, this would be a good one. If you are wanting to play with tc, this would be a good affordable option to try.


So what is BAD about it?

Good question… not much really.

Aesthetics wise, it's all in what you like. Some will like it some don't. As is the case with everything. Personally, I like the way it looks. Mrs B1rd, thinks it's funky. She politely handed me a different mod when we were going out to eat the other night and placed this one in my office on the top shelf where i couldn't reach it.

It's made of plastic.. Personally I like plastic and 3d printed mods, some not so much.

It does not offer output burst or curves, which does not bother me as it does hit nicely.



What do you like about it?

A lot of things! Love the 10 ml juice capacity and battery life for an all day carry. I really like not wanting to bring spare cells or juice with me when we have a family day or at work. Love the way it hits, and its weight.

I'll end this as I started it .. this is easily the most practical mod i have ever owned.. And at its price point and durability, I can't say enough.

Great review man. Taught me something too. I didn't know the inner pin even came out for the battery cover. And at first I wasn't sure which way to hold it. Thumb fire or index fire. It's a great mod. Well worth the money
