Here is my review of the SJMY Toy Brick Squonk Mod. This is my first written review, I hope it's detailed enough to give an accurate representation of the product. I received this mod from winning a 3fvape contest.
The mod arrived in an unadorned black box with sjmy vape on the upper left and Toy Brick centered on the top. The box does have two small magnets in the lid, providing a simple and sure fastening method.
Contained within the packaging box is a single slip of paper with disassembly instructions for removing the panels on one side and a diagram of the box on the other. All six sides are replaceable. The mod rests in a foam cutout.
According to 3fvape's website, the frame of the mod is constructed from aluminum and the panels from G10 fiberglass. I can tell you that this results in a lightweight mod that is very solid feeling. I'm not going to try to break it, but it appears to be very durable. All of the magnets do a good job of keeping the side panels where they are supposed to be. Like most single 18650 bottom feeding mods, it is just slightly larger than a standard 18650 battery case.
There was not any type of oil or machine smell, not that I expected there to be. Since it is a mechanical squonker, I went ahead and gave the bottle and 510 a quick wash just to make sure everything was clean.
The internals are nice and what you would expect from a mechanical bottom feeding device. The positive and negative contacts appear to be copper, and there is a peek insulator above the positive contact nut. The positive contact strip is secured with two small phillips head screws, one on the bottom and the other on the front or button side. This means that the throw can be slightly adjusted by loosening that screw. It's a short screw, so you can only lighten the throw a little.
The 510 is adjustable with a screwdriver or something similar. I confirmed this, but the atomizer I was using sat flush straight from the box.
The button has a nice, smooth, and moderately light throw. The button is small though, at least for me. Having it recessed makes it very difficult to have any accidental misfires but it also makes it virtually impossible for me to fire with my thumb. I can trigger fire it, but not as easily as I would prefer.
This problem, however, is a result of the size of my hands and fingers, not a reflection of the design of the mod. Unless the button is so large as to defeat the purpose, I've always had problems firing recessed buttons. Most people will have no trouble with it, I just felt obligated to mention my difficulty.
The bottle is a 6 ml silicone bottle. The feeding tube is a hair short, I have to push the bottle up just a bit to ensure I can get all the juice from the bottle. It is soft, but not like one of those thin walled, super soft bladder type bottles. I actually prefer this bottle since it won't squonk itself in a strong wind.
I've only had this mod for a day, but am really enjoying it so far. It fires quick even though I've got a fairly large coil on it. I've been using a Wasp Nano Rda with a .24 SS316 staggered stapled fused clapton in it.
It is really well constructed. The fiberglass panels provide some grip without being rough. The mod is lightweight and comfortable in the hand. Like I previously stated, the mod appears to be durable and I think I could throw it around without any problems.
I personally like how easy it is to disassemble, not only for customization, but also because it ensures that cleaning will be effortless and thorough.
