Yes, that's exactly what I'm thinking/planning on doing. Get two TC-capable squonk mods, one in a smaller more portable single battery setup, and another with a dual battery setup.
So if you are dead set on TC capability and single battery, really the best option is the Lost Vape Therion BF DNA 75C. If you are looking for a dual battery with TC, there are many. It depends how much $$ you want to spend and the aesthetic you are looking for. What is your price point?

Brand new device, probably $150 each top end. I'm leaning towards a Therion BF and a Drone BF. Being somewhat obsessive about making sure I buy the right gear, I research most gadget purchases to the point of madness.

You can't buy a brand new therion bf 75c. They don't make them anymore, so unless you find someone who has an unboxed one (which i doubt) then you have to buy a used one. It's worth it. and you can save a few $$ and spend like $100 and $200. I found the drone bf on a french site called lepetitvapoteur for like 99 euro. I don't know how reliable the site is though, trying to find out, because I'll buy it rn.

Well originally I was thinking of just getting one squonker for a small, portable setup with good juice capacity. For example if I'm at a BBQ in the summer, I don't want to carry a gigantic dual battery mod in my cargo shorts pocket.
I am going to check out that Pico Squeeze! Looks interesting!

There are plenty of mods that do TC that don't have a dna chip in them. I really like my asMODus minkin v2, the battery life is insane, it is nice and portable, and with a decent rta on there it vapes great.

These are my current 3. The one on the left is the ONI Dna 250 by asMODus with the Intake RTA, the middle is the Recurve Squonk with the profile, the one on the right is the Therion BF with the recurve RDA on it (until I get home tonight and get to try the profile on it)

Has anyone checked out the Rebel Vape mods? They have some pretty interesting devices, a variety of options as far as battery configuration. 3D printed hardware with DNA and also YiHi boards.
They are beautiful and I use my DNA 75C and the 250C daily..... Don't leave home without it......

They hold a 30mm atty without a problem.....

Get a Boxer Those Lost Vapes Don't last...... I have a (3) year old (3) 18650 Old DNA 250 not color that travelled the world with me.... Really a train ride week long from Orlando Florida to California...... Been to Europe and Cruises and Mountain Biking and in deserts and boats.....

It has been beat to shit..... And looks like the day I bought it......

But I do prefer The Rebel......

Minikin V2 is awesome, but it weighs twice the weight of a Rebel Dual 18650..... Twice

I have a black metal and several Kodamas.....

I will say, I don't see this mod NOT lasting. It's very well made. Doesn't seem delicate at all. Don't get me wrong, I haven't had it very long, but I am easy on my mods. Especially this one.

Thanks for these pics Manny! Those are indeed sweet mods. A bit pricey, but they may be the last mods I purchase so it might be worth it.

In the group picture with all of your mods, what are the two in the middle, they don’t look 3D printed. The gloss black one and the one to the right of it?

These two..... You have good taste brother......

These (2) are Vapedroid X1C2..... They are both Ultem and DNA 75c........

The shinny is polished 1000 Ultem both are made in Germany...... And the most desired mods made.....

Again you have good taste.........Look for them on the Vapedroid X1C2 auction thread on Facebook..... That's the only way to find one......

They made around 200 examples of the mod.

This is not nearly on the level under discussion here, but if you're ever after a dual 18650 beater that does good TC on the cheap, THIS is it.
I prefer really The HCigar Wildwolf......

I got three in November and simply beautiful..... $34 each and the screen is amazing and accurate the mod hits hard as hell.......

If you don't need a color dna chip, this mod is great too. Made by asMODus. Dual 1850. Batttery life is incredible and it is a DNA 250. Almost all the same features as the 250c except replay and no color screen.

Yeah, I'm expanding my search to non-DNA temp control mods, they're out of my price range at the moment. I'm checking out the other mods suggested here, the WildWolf, the Lyra, and it was also suggested to check out the Innokin Proton.

Really nice regulated squonk mod w/TC. I Might get one myself, mod only since the RDA isn’t all that. They have only been out a couple months so it’s a new product. Some colors selling out quickly till they restock (haven’t looked at china vendors). Vapor Range is 15-18$ less than othe US vendors I’ve seen. https://www.vaporrange.com/DotMod-DotSquonk-100W-Box-Mod-p/dotsquonk-100w-mod.htm
For about the smallest 2x18650 200+w w/TC, Eleaf Invoke. Not much bigger than it's 2 batteries.

I'm pretty sure that mod will take Arctic Fox too.
I like the invoke. I still kick myself for not grabbing one when they were in the clearance bin in a shop around here for like 12 bucks.

Ok, I just ordered a Drone 250C BF, a Pico Squeeze 2, and a Wotofo Profile from Fasttech. $205 shipped for everything.
I cancelled the Pico and got a Pulse X 90w squonk kit instead. Wanted something lighter in weight than the pico

You need to get another Cylon Manny. You know you loved that thing and any device can fail. You also know I'm not faulting you because anybody can drop something too, but it did take a nasty tumble.

I miss your Cylon posts. Still one of my favorite mods too.

I like this Hicigar too btw. ALot.

Yeah, but the weight of the Wildwolf is orgasmic.... I recommend something new that I would prefer over an older model..

The Cylon is a good mod but the weight with a 30mm and the batteries is definitely not a small pocket mod ...

I misused the Cylon. ....

Still one of my favorite mods too....., I rewired the board added some new 12 gauge copper wire flexible silicone, cleaned the 510 and made her like new....... She works perfectly.

But sorry brother The Wildwolf is sweet.......

Well that's certainly true, She is not a two finger pocket mod for sure, but she wasn't meant to be.

It happens to the best of us. I won't even tell you some of the stories of computer crap I broke with far less excuse than you have.

Now THIS is awesome!!! You've been holdin out on us. Nice stuff is cool, but talents like this to someone like me is WAY cooler. Seriously. Who knew?

Well of course you're certainly allowed to have preferences too. This one looks very attractive and right up my alley.

If I remember right, I don't think the Pulse X does TC very well though.

It's not a DNA or a YiHi, to be sure, but with the latest firmware updates it got pretty good according to DJLsb Vapes' review. Mainly, it's a lightweight squonk device with 21700 battery capability.

Here's Daniel's review:

The mod has silicone protection over the buttons and the 510 to keep e-juice from entering into the board.....

Yep watch Daniel's review from DJSLVAPE......he loves the mod

Is it firmware upgradable? Not that it's a deal-breaker, just curious. Haven't seen anything on the Hcigar site.
