Introduction
When the original Aegis was released their was a bit of a buzz about it, almost indestructible, firing time to rival the Drag and battery options that included a 26650. Then more recently we had the Legend a dual battery version followed by the Mini and Solo giving smaller options with either an inbuilt battery or single 18650.
The Aegis range of devices just keep coming with 2 more released simultaneously, the Aegis X which is a dual 18650 200W TC device with full face colour screen and a brand new menu system and this device, yes we now have a Aegis Squonk mod. What next for the Aegis, an Aegis pod mod? well the answer i already know is yes but that's for another day so i'll crack on!

Aesthetics and Ergonomics
The Aegis Squonk Kit came in cardboard box with outer sleeve and once opened i was met by the familiar Aegis look despite it being a BF device, in fact if fitting the standard spine (not supplied) it would almost pass as the Aegis Solo. The Aegis Squonk's aesthetics are very busy due to the use of many different durable materials, making the device look as solid as it is. The materials used include, LSR Silicone, Die-Cast Aluminium, Die-Cast Zinc Alloy, Leather (when standard spine is fitted) and Stainless Steel. I received the Black version, it's also available in Gunmetal, Stainless Steel, Golden, Blue and Rainbow, all versions come paired with a Tengu RDA in a colour that suits your colour choice. Looking at the device from the side towards the front we have army grade black silicone, then we have a Metal bracket in the colour of choice which helps secure the leather on the standard spine and when the squonk spine is installed we have the cutout for pressing the bottle instead. The front has an hexagonal fire button with raised rectangular face at the top and at the bottom we have the - and + buttons, between the fire button and navigational buttons we have a large screen. With the face of the device pointing to the left we have a rectangular silicone section bottom left which can be removed to reveal the micro USB port. The base of the device has a battery plate with fold out lever, moving to the top of the device the rear is rounded with grooves for sliding open (this is for filling). Finally towards the front at the top we have a large 510 plate with wide inner silicone raised rim, the uniquely designed BF 510 is Gold plated and spring loaded. The build quality is very good and the device is ergonomically sound, the Aegis Squonk Mod is as solid as the rest of the Aegis family.

Brief Description
The RDA is 24mm in diameter and quite short with the top tapering smoothly to where the drip tip is fitted, below is a false seam which makes the Tengu look like it's a two piece sleeve but it's one piece as the airflow control ring is a piece fitted internally. On one side of the RDA we have the face of a Tengu etched cleanly in the metal which looks good and i prefer this much more than printed logo's. Either side we have honeycomb style airflow holes which consist of two rows, 6 in the top and 7 in the bottom. The base has etched branding and safety marks and comes pre-installed with a BF Gold plated 510 pin which protrudes enough to make it hybrid safe. The build quality is very good as i always find with Geekvape products, it's a nice looking RDA.

Tengu's Various Parts
The Tengu consists of a one piece sleeve with detachable inner airflow ring, and deck section. Up top we have a ultem quite low profile goon fitting 810, an even lower profile delrin rounded 810 is also included as well as a 510 adaptor. Included are spare o-rings, hex grub screws (flatheads are pre-installed on the posts), a standard pin, hex tool, T-piece tool, cotton and 2 coils.
___________________________________________________________________
The Airflow
The Airflow consists of dual sets of honeycomb style holes, 2 rows each side. The top rows have 6 holes and the bottom rows have 7 giving 13 holes each side in total. The airflow control ring you can see pictured fits inside the sleeve and has 2 protruding sections both top and bottom. The top sections fit into grooves inside the sleeve so the sleeve can be turned to adjust airflow, when the protruding sections reach the end of the grooves they act as hard stoppers as the ring is fixed in position lined up with the coils on the deck. The bottom protruding sections slot into same sized notches on the outside of the deck section locking the ring in place and allowing the whole system to work.
