Seems out of the plethora of mass produced regulated devices squonking has yet to be implemented. Why is that?

Are all squonkers Mechs?
- Thread starter Matty Vapes
- Start date
Kanger Dripbox 160, Dripbox 2 and quite a few other regulated squonkers out there.
hmm not so much in Canada from what I know..Not sure I trust Kangertech..no reason I just have trust issues lol
They went to the RDTA or AOI egrip route with replaceable coilheads instead of RDAs..... Squonking has always been a niche market...... Don't know why... I bet if there were more mods available It would kill the tank market.

there are a few but most are single battery ones. pico squeeze and wraith come to mind as 2 of the most popular. and the dripbox 80 from kanger. for dual batteyr options you have the gbox S100 (hard to find bu back in stock at everzon.com) the kanger drip box 160 and the pricier but best of them lost vape drone. I think gingervapes makes some custom ones as well with DNA chips and supposedly smoant should be making one too
Ginger Vapes announced coming soon, a 20700 or 21700 DNA75c squonker. But it'll probably be pricey.
Sad thING Is i went from a mech squonker I was happy with to regulated with a tank...... I want my squonk back... I just don't want to give up regulation or pay more than about $50.......

The Dripbox 160 can be had for under $50.
Been using one since January and no issues. Have a backup one too just in case.
And keeping my eyes open for good sales on them to pick up antother 2.
One downside for some only 22mm or less diameter attys fit on them.

the gbox S100 is like 55 on everzon with free shipping. last i looked only 7 left. not sure if the extra 5 bucks is a dealbreaker for you or not.

I think it does fit attys over 22 mm as well.

yeah it does. i have a full review of it on my channel. most of what i use on it is 24-25mm
yes. coz the RDA with pin is coming and recently the BF squonker is so hot. such as vandy vape, geekvape,ijoy release bf mods.
as far as I know, the Geekvape Athena Squonk Kit likes is powered by single high rate 18650 battery with a high performance and compact size.

I put together a list, and a wide range of devices is out there, $20 to $300+
Now there's a lot less of them than just standard box mods, the fact I am capable of actually listing most of them shows that. But there's something for most price ranges.
If you wanted something better than Kanger, the VT Inbox or the YFTK DNA75 SVA clone are both good and available from Canadian vendors or from the Chinese sites with free shipping to Canada.
Erm huh. Good to note this tidbit. I like the 24 mm atties, enjoy more spacious build decks.
Haven't used it, but talked to enough people that have. The chip operates exactly like the DB160 but only 80W. High cell cutoff, so lots of battery swaps and TC is bad, but not completely unusable if you like frustration.
In other words it's on par with the Wraith, flawed but a cheap way to try squonking.
Thanks. I think I'll just wait until some decent regulated ones hit the market. There seems to be a buzz building that it may be sooner than later.
The main problem with regulated squonk mods is size.
This is because you have a bottle in there taking up about the same space as a battery.
I have both the dripbox 2 and the dripbox 160.
As said before not fantastic machines. TC works but not great.
And they only fit 22 mm attys properly.
Of the 2 I like the dripbox 160 the best.
It is about the size of a Realuex (sp?) but works fine and I have had no issues with either the DB160 or the DB2.
Been using both for about 9 months.
The DB2 and the DB160 have different chips aside from the wattage.
The DB160 is not software upgradeable.
The DB2 is upgradeable although no new loads for it.
You can also customize it with a windows based program.
Set custom vaping curves, change messages and power on screen and change the default TCR for the wire types.
A VERY less functional evolve kind of thing.

The more you data you present regarding the Dripboxes, the less and less I desire buying one. Sure they're affordable regulated squonkers. That alone does not grant them being a pancea for that market. More like them seeming anathema by being 'affordable regulated squonkers'.
I like mine, work fine. and I am a cheap assed bastard. Just ask Lucy.
Only complaint I really have with them is the little magnetic bottle door that is prone to getting knocked off.
Works fine without them though too.
I don't mind the magnet door, or only fitting 22mm flush. What bothers me on the DB160 is the high battery voltage cutoff. Should not need to switch batteries that often on dual cell.
The TC isn't good, but it does work with some fiddling which is better than I can say about many mods.
It's not bad at all, I own two as backup devices. It's just not sexy and exciting.

Nope not sexy and exciting. but works for me as I am not sexy or exciting either
My main squonks are DB2, DB 160 and Coppervape.
I have backups of each.
I use a 24mm on the 160, the thing isn't winning any beauty pageants anyway, it's a work mod.
I do not own any atty over 22mm.

My complaints regarding Kanger squonkers
Non-adjustable 510 and I don't like how the Kanger chip works. Too fidgety for me
Yes non adjustable 510 is an issue but all the attys I use fit them well. So no personal problem.
Wasp fits perfect!
