To those who don’t know what squonking
is – today’s the day your vaping
vernacular gets a little richer. It refers to
a certain e-cigarette specially designed to
reconcile the best of e-liquid storage and
delivery with minimal drawbacks.
The word itself comes from the mod’s
squeeze bottle design (and that’s about
as much as we know on the etymological
front). A good squonk mod can circumvent
the expected pros and cons of traditional
mod setups, and squonking appears to
have solved some seemingly unsolvable
problems as old as vaping itself.
One of the main divides in preference
when it comes to mods is RDA versus
RTA, that’s rebuildable dripping atomiser
and rebuildable tank atomiser. The former
allows you to drip your liquid directly onto
your mod’s wick, the latter has a refi llable
tank to hold your liquids. Proponents of
the RDA model prefer the larger, more
satisfying clouds and stronger taste.
However, RDA use comes with the
disadvantage of having to drip frequently
onto a device with no tank to contain
the liquid. The main appeal of RTA is
its superior liquid capacity, reducing the
vaper’s need to drip so often, at the cost
of a slightly more suppressed fl avour.
A squonker mod pumps new liquid up
into your atomiser from its bottle at the
base. To put it simply, you’re getting the
liquid accessibility and longevity of a
tank, with the enhanced taste of an RDA;
potentially the strengths of both mod
types, the weaknesses of neither. Also,
the generous bottle size overcomes tank
restrictions on most mods.
Squonkers may have very specifi c
features where bottle size and storage
are concerned, but that’s about as far
as they go for exclusivity. Squonk mods
can come in traditional regulated or
mech form.
