View attachment 179705 So would you believe, I have bought a tiny squonk. A vandyvape simple ex squonk kit. I’ve always been an outspoken opponent of both vandyvape and squonking, but after somebody posted a photo of this in the “favourite mtl setups” thread, I decided to get one.
It’s pretty good. I’ve been puffing it for half an hour or so. But I’m not sure whether I actually like squonking, or if there’s a novelty factor at play.
It’s pretty small, very light, but feels quite solid. My only complaint is the dripper. It works well enough, but it’s a little bit noisy, and has a strange deck where you clamp the wires under the bottom of the screws. A real pain in the arse trying to fit the included superfine clapton coil. I’m not sure I like the coil either, it has noticeable ramp up time. I’ll probably switch it for a 30awg stainless one soon.
I have a strike 18 in the post that I ordered by slow mail a month or so ago. I think it will be perfect with this.
Apart from the noise, the dripper puffs well. The airflow is from the bottom, right under the coil, with a selection of intake holes on the side that go from pretty loose to super tight.
The squonk action seems to work well, although that’s from someone who has never squonked before, so with nothing to compare it to. I think I still need to get the hang of this, as I seem to have emptied the 4ml bottle in just two dunts. Although it didn’t flood. So maybe I’m doing t right.
It’s voltage adjustable, so very very simple, with five settings from 3.3 to 4.5 in steps of 0.3v. No resistance reading, or watts to adjust.
Incuded is a picture for size comparison. Sorry about the quality, the light is a bit dim in this kitchen.
