Introduction
The Topside is a collaboration between Dovpo and Vapor Chronicles and much talked about with many rating it the best squonk device in the marketplace. I love the Delta, and the Rage is also a superb squonk device so when i received the Topside i was looking forward to seeing how it matched up. The Topside will accommodate a 18650, 20700 or 21700 battery and offers the first top-fill method with a squonk device, with it's unique look and coming in a multitude of colours there's lots to wet the lips. The Topside has a great screen giving all the needed information in easy to read font and with a firmware upgrade now offers TC option, let's see if it lives up to the hype!

Aesthetics and Ergonomics
The Topside comes in a good quality plastic container with slide off top which has a cardboard sleeve, you also get a spare bottle but that is packaged separately. The plastic container is worth a mention as it could be put to good use, it has four holes on the top a good distance apart that work well for sitting atty's in and i can imagine a mod maker after seeing the box would already be thinking about their next project. I received the Silver version which has a glitter type finish as does the other solid colour options, the combo colours available have a splatter style finish and i must say the Black Gold version looks stunning. The colour options are, Silver, Black, Gunmetal, Blue, Red, Purple, Gold, Green, Black Grey, Black Red, Black Gold and Black Blue. The shape is a double barrel look giving the spine where we have the cutout for pressing the bottle an ergonomic rounded shape. I thought the the double barrel shape on the sides will make this uncomfortable to hold but when in hand because there are no edges it feels fine, in fact the rounded spine and position of the large Black domed fire button the Topside is a surprisingly ergonomic device especially as it's large for a single battery squonk device. The front of the device has the already mentioned fire button at the top, central is the screen then below we have a venting grill for the chip followed by the round domed Black navigational buttons. On one side of the device we have the micro USB port, the base is the battery door and has plenty of printed safety marks and branding. Up top we have a upper section towards the front then it curves down to a lower section at the rear. The rear is where we have the top-fill cap which has texturing for grip, on the upper section is the leak proof design Gold plated, spring loaded BF 510 surrounded by a small 510 plate. I can't fault the build quality of the Topside, if it performs as well as it is made and looks then it's going to be a cracking device.

Filling The device
On the top of the device towards the rear we have a screw cap very similar to a battery cap we see on devices like the Pico, unscrew this cap which reveals 2 generous kidney shaped fill ports, it's exactly the same as when you unscrew the top-cap off a tank. Looking inside as well as the fill ports the rest of the circular shape is made up with a Black solid section, on the underneath of this is where the pipe is that feeds down into the bottle to connect with the bottles tube and then leads to the 510, the bottle holds 10ml of e-liquid which is impressive. The underneath of the screw cap has spring loaded kidney shaped bungs that seal everything once the cap is screwed back on.
___________________________________________________________________
The Bottle
To remove the bottle we have to remove the top-cap (it comes out much easier with top-cap removed) and open the battery door revealing the base of the bottles casing. On this base where the spine of the device is there is a indent to get grip to pull the bottles casing with bottle out of the device. The Bottle is housed inside strong plastic casing which has a metal top section which has kidney shaped fill ports that line up with the already mentioned fill ports at the top of the device and then a cutout section with a hole, the circle is completed when the casing is fitted inside the device as the solid section with pipe already described at the top of the device slots into this cut out section feeding the pipe inside the tubing in the bottle and sealing everything. For the most part when people want to clean the bottle it's easy enough to just flush it out using the fill ports but you can give it a more thorough clean. On either side of the top metal section of the casing are screws, by undoing these you can take the casing apart revealing the tube on the underneath of the metal section and take your bottle out, now it can be given a thorough clean, you are supplied with both an allen key and spare screws just in case. The plastic casing for the bottle has protruding side rails and inside the device is a groove either side so the bottle assembly is fitted smoothly in the perfect position.
___________________________________________________________________
The Spare Bottle
When you buy the Topside you do get a spare bottle which is packaged separately. The bottle is the full assembly including the casing, it also comes with a top that looks very similar to the one on the device with bungs for the fill ports and a section that mimics the solid section with feed pipe, this top is just press fitted into place but is a nice tight fit and with the protruding area interlocking and the bungs sitting deep this is not going to come off on it's own accord. This is a massive pro, 10ml in the bottle fitted in the device and another 10ml you can carry around in the spare, that's 20ml on the go.
