Best Squonk Mod VapesAfter an influx of squonkers hitting the shelves over the past year we are firmly on the hunt for the best squonk mod money can buy.

It used to be the case that a regulated mod was pretty much the only choice. Since squonking has reached the mainstream though we have see an increase in regulated squonk mods. Which is good news indeed.

What Are The Best Squonk Mods Currently Available? We Take a Look At Our Top Picks for 2024.

After trying over 40 squonk mods we have reached, what for us, are the best we have reviewed. If you are buying a squonk mod just be sure you go for a mod that fits your experience. If choosing an unregulated mod then be sure you are up to scratch on battery safety and Ohms law.

Ok.. enough of that, let’s take a look at the best squonkers that we have tried.

1. Vandy Vape Pulse (Best Selling Squonker)

HellVape Dead Rabbit BF RDA

dead rabbit dripperOnto a look now at some of the best squonking atties available.

Whether using as a standalone dripper or on top of your squonker the Dead Rabbit is one of the best performers currently available.

This is the RDA that got our reviewer Neil back to using drippers, he loved it.

For dual or single coil builds this RDA kicks out flavour in the bucket loads and isn’t too shabby in the cloud department if that’s your thing.

The juice well is deep enough to ensure over squonking is hard to do and the clever deck design is easy to build on.

This is what Neil had to say about the Dead Rabbit:

“As I say all the time I’m not much of a dripper but squonking has brought me back to the RDA family and of the ones I’ve tried the Dead Rabbit is as close to the perfect BF RDA I’ve had the pleasure of using.”

  • 24mm
  • Gold plated Bottom feed pin
  • Dual or single coil options
  • Easy to build on
  • Deep juice well
  • Excellent flavour

Digiflavor Drop BF RDA

drop rda in squonk modeDigiflavor hare know for some great releases as of late and they are carrying that trend forward with the Drop RDA.

In collaboration with YT reviewer Vapor Chronicles the Drop is a beautifully machined atty. There is plenty of room on the deck making it suitable to all levels of builder.

Onto the performance.. Well, lets just take a little excerpt from Neils recent review:

“Flavour wise I can’t fault it – it really does pick out layers of flavour I didn’t know existed in some of my go to juices – definitely one for the flavour chasers – though the cloud production is excellent too!”

Check out our full list of the best squonk RDA’s

  • 24mm Diameter
  • Large build deck
  • Hard to over squonk on this atty
  • Superb flavour

What is Squonking?

Squonking is a term you may have seen an awful lot of recently and is fast becoming one of the most popular vaping methods around.

Offering the convenience of a tank, with the flavour benefits of an RDA.

Not only that but they enable you to vape all day long with the large capacity bottles found with most squonk mods.

Squonking has really entered the mainstream of vaping recently, with many major manufacturers such as Kanger, Steamcrave and Aspire releasing squonking units and squonking compatible products.

You might be left scratching your head as to what squonking actually is though, so we have put a guide together at the end of our ‘best of’ list that will explain what squonking is, and make things a little bit clearer!

What Is Squonking and Who Is It Aimed At?

Squonking is a style of vaping that involves a squonk mod, and a bottom fed rebuildable tank atomiser.

It’s aimed at any style of vaper, with products available to cater to everyone’s needs, but more specifically people who are looking for an ‘all in one solution’.

The bottles contained within squonkers tend to be of large capacities, doing away with the need to carry around separate bottles of juice through your day.what is squonking?

The atomisers used are rebuildable dripping atomisers with bottom feed pins, meaning you get the very best flavour and vapour!

Unless they have been specifically converted, or fitted with a compatible bottom feed pin, you can’t use an RDA with an every day 510 connector, as there will be no way for the juice to be fed up from your mod to your atomiser.

Likewise, you don’t want to use an RDA with a bottom feed pin fitted on a standard mod, as juice will drip down through the bottom feed pin and get into your mod through the 510 connector.

Which can of course give you some serious issues with your mod.

Only use an RDA with a BF pin on a squonk mod, never on a standard every day mod.

How Do You Squonk?

It’s actually pretty simple, and easy to get to grips with.

You’ll need a specific squonk mod (We have some of the best squonk mods listed below), which is a mod that has a removable squonking bottle and a hole cut out for you to squeeze the bottle.Kanger Dripbox Squonker

Squonkers come either regulated or unregulated (mechanical).

Popular chips such as the Evolv DNA series and Yihi’s SX series can be found in many high end squonkers.

You’ll also need an RDA with a bottom feed pin fitted, squonking will not work with regular RDA’s. Bottom fed squonk atomizer

When you squeeze the squonk bottle juice will be fed up from the bottle into your RDA from underneath, which will coat your wicks with juice.

You then hit the power button of your mod to take a puff.

A quick couple of squeezes on your juice bottle every few puffs or so is usually enough to keep your wicks coated and your vape dry hit free.

It’s dripping without even needing to remove your top cap!

What Kit Do You Need?

  • Squonk mod
  • Squonking bottle
  • Bottom feed compatible RDA – Will not work with standard RDA
  • Bottom feed pin
  • Juice!

Squonking – The Good

One of the best things about squonking is that you have the convenience of a tank, with the flavour and vapour benefits that a dripper provides.

Most squonk mods come with bottle capacities of 7-10ml. This means that you can carry around an entire day’s worth of juice on you, with no need to refill throughout the day, making a squonk mod extremely convenient to carry.squonk mod guide

Plus, the bottles only tend to feed juice up to your atomiser with a squeeze, so you can carry your squonker around with you with no fear of leaking.

One of the biggest plus points in my opinion is that on top of your squonker, is a fully fledged RDA.

Many of the best and most popular RDA’s have bottom feed pins either included or available, which means they can be used with squonk mods.

It is no fuss dripping, a simple squeeze of a bottle feeds juice up and re-juices your wicks with little mess (unless you squonk too hard and flood your deck). You can drip all day long without needing to remove the top cap of your atomiser.

There’s real value for money to be found as well, with quite a few ‘all in one’ kits available that provide you with a squonk mod and bottom fed atomiser, at very competitive pricing too.

Kits such as the Council of Vapor Wraith and Kanger Dripbox 160 are well priced all in options, which can work out cheaper than many vape mod and sub ohm tank combos.

Squonking – The Bad

Under-squonking and Over-squonking

Unless you have a clear cap on your bottom fed dripper to see your build, you might struggle at first with ensuring your wicks are juiced correctly. This can result in Under-squonking, which gives you dry hits. Never a pleasant thing.

Or Over-squonking which floods your deck, causing leaking and spit-back. That’s never a nice thing either!

You might find you have an adjustment period whilst you work out the best balance and what works best for your mod and atomiser.

Limited choice.

The squonking market is rapidly expanding, and with major manufacturers involved it is only going to get bigger over time.

However, at present you are limited if you are looking for a squonk kit that is widely available and cheap.

There is a huge market from artisan high end suppliers. However, they are limited to what they produce which in turn means the chance of you finding rocking horse crap may be a more likely outcome.

If you stick to the more well known manufacturers, there isn’t a whole lot of choice right now, (or at least at the time of writing) but what there is will certainly do the trick.

Will Squonking Be For Me?

If you already use drippers for the vast majority of your time, trying out a squonker should be an absolute no brainer.

There are squonk mods and atomisers out there that cater for just about every style of vaping.

Bottom feed pins for various popular drippers are now available too in order to make them compatible with squonk mods.

I would recommend squonking to everybody, beginner to experienced vaper.

It’s something that every vaper should try at least once due to the excellent all in one solution it provides, and the market is only getting bigger in size.

Have a look at our ‘Top Squonkers’ guide above to get a feel for the best products available right now in the squonking market!

We have a mix of the rare and high end, regulated and unregulated, right down to more budget friendly alternatives that still offer excellent performance.

So there are some recommendations to get the ball rolling. Do you have a favourite Squonk Mod?

  1. I have had every squonk mod onyour list and I truly believe thè Topside Dual Squonk is the best I’ve used so far. But would love to see some new Squonk Mods come out in the near future! Like 2022-2023!

  2. Thanks for list advice. Though would not buy the dovpo topside dual as faulty battery door. But othersfee on list yeah. If only ANYTHING AT ALL was available for purchase ANYWHERE AT ALL.
    CANNOT get anything!!
    Bummer.

  3. Still the best squonk on my preference is wismec Luxotic comes with Tobino rda very compact and handy as it is and can be considered as unregulated mod but doesn’t work really well for high ohm builds.

  4. UN POCO DESFASADO EL RANKING, PERO PARA EL POCO MATERIAL QUE HAY…Y E AQUI MI PREGUNTA…QUE COÑO PASA CON LOS FABRICANTES, QUE NO SACAN MODELOS NUEVOS DE SQUONK ELECTRÓNICOS…???

  5. Looks like you guys updated the list this year but the Pulse Dual Squonk mod kit is not in stock ANYWHERE on the internet. I’m dying to buy it after finding it on your list and watching a few reviews. Very frustrating. If something isnt available for purchase then it should prolly be removed from the list, amazing though it may be.

    • I take your point, but if we were to remove everything that was out of stock – there would be some big holes in our content 🙂 BTW I see it’s in stock at gosmokefree.co.uk 😉

  6. The luxotic has a bad flaw it will Lexi inside the mod thus needs to be fixed I’ve had 3 and all 3 ended up leaking like a bitch

  7. I’m currently using the VaporDNA/Project SubOHM Cut regulated Squonk mod I found on VapeSourcing.com with an Armageddon Redemption RDA I got direct from Armageddonmfg.com for $10 and I love my setup.

  8. Get a REO they are the original and after 9 years mine is still rocking. They have a cup under the atty that catches leaks so you can use it when changing altitudes. Something these Johnny come lately companies never account for, as evidenced by the flat generic 510 connector.

  9. This list shouldn’t be the best squonk mods, but maybe the best china made squonkers…..why aren’t the quality, higher end stuff ever mentioned?

    • Hey Frank,

      We did, in the past, have some of the high end squonkers in the list but the problem was they were in very limited supply and rarely in stock or available.

      We are open to suggestions in the comments though so feel free.

      • I would have answered this by simply saying, do you find me a mod that doesn’t cost more then the Dovpo Topside Dual AND they took all the mess out of what drew a lot of people away from squonking which is all the messy juice every time they want to refill their bottle, the fact is just because something cost a lot of money doesn’t mean you’re getting what you pay for, anyone who would disagree with this list obviously doesn’t squonk much. This list is absolutely right not just in my opinion but many many others in The Vape community although I would have added the Rage

  10. 7mL on 1 x 18650. I doubt it. I use about 7mL with 3 x 18650. Something to consider. You will need to carry spare batteries.

  11. hi there
    would it OK if I put a high ohm build in a squonker. maybe around 1.10 – 1.30 ohm range.
    and if so, what batteries are safe for them.
    I know and understand ohms law, but I just need some clarification.
    thax

    • Hi Hafiz,

      I take it you mean on a mechanical squonk mod? Yes you can of course use higher Ohm builds.

      As with all builds you need to ensure your battery has sufficient Amperage, with higher ohm builds you have plenty of choice.

      Take a look at this post that has some useful links.

      You can see various recommended batteries (18650/20700/21700 etc)

      Once you have worked out your requirements for your build (Watts/Amps etc) take your pick from one of those suggested.

      So if you are vaping below 21W/7A and are using 18650’s then the Sanyo18650GA will be sufficient and will offer higher capacity (battery life) than say a 20A battery.. If you think you may build lower resistance builds then you will need to recalculate.

      Samsung 25R are good batteries and ones I personally use the most. Rated at 20A they would offer more than enough room for your build although battery life would be a little shorter (still good). They are also good for lower ohm builds (to a point) should you decide to go down that route.

      Hope that helps.

  12. This may be a stupid question but im thinking of trying squonking but i want to carry just one mod to work. Can i use a regular tank on a squonk mod if the mood takes me?

    • Hi Anna,

      In short yes you can.. of course you couldn’t squonk with a regular tank though 🙂

      Also, and more importantly, a lot of the squonkers out there currently are mechanical (unregulated) mods that don’t have safety features built in, these aren’t recommended for vapers that are not familiar with ohms law and battery safety.

      There are however a few new squonk mods coming out that are regulated (have safety features built in) that may be a better option depending on your experience.

  13. The Reo was not the first squonk mod ever. There were quite a few that came first in Europe, along with some that dropped at the same time out of the the Philippines. It’s hard to get a true date but the first was either the Lucos Puzzle Box or the Tree of Life Box made in Italy. At least the first sold on the open market. The Reo and the Sun Box were the first to be mass produced for sure but not the first. Who knows who came up with this system all I can say is I thank them for their ingenuity.

    • I was around back then, and if I’m not mistaken, ‘Missy’s Wet Box’ was out before the REO. Fun-Fact: The term “Squonking” originated from REO’s first thread at ECF by forum member ‘Jack Murphy’. She posted that pushing the bottle was akin to ‘squonking’ a clown’s rubber nose… Squonk Squonk!!!

      • EDIT to above post: The ECF Forum member who originated the term Squonking was ‘Jack Murray’, not ‘Jack Murphy’.. It’s been many years since I participated in that thread, and her correct forum name just came to me..

  14. I have two Pulse squonks and with both, I find the vapour tastes “watery” and there’s very little heat in it.

    Most recently I’ve had the GeekVape Peerless RDA on the squonk box, having used it first on my Smok Alien. On the box mod, I found the vapour very flavourful, warm with great clouds. However, switching out the pin for the supplied hollow version, screwing it onto one of my Plus squonk boxes, right away the vape was very cool (even with a fully charged battery installed) and tasted weak and watery.

    I get this experience with the Pulse 24 RDA also.

    Anyone else have this issue?

    • I did have that issue. DID being the key word.
      Building on a regulated mod is a whole different ball game, on a mech, you build to your battery, and that’s why there’s a huge difference.
      I’ll tell you that if you’re looking for a warm vape, you gotta build around .14 ohms with a 20700 battery, a little lower with a 18650, but i strongly recommend you dont build that low on an 18650 without a whole lot more experience, as its rather dangerous if you pulse for too long.

  15. I have just replaced my Tsunami 24 with a Druga. I just love the Druga. It comes with std and squonker pins.

    Plenty of room for just about any dual coil build. I’m running mine with a pair of Claptons giving me a build measured at .22 ohms.

    The sweet spot seems to be about 115 to 125 watts running on a Kangertech Squonker (Dripbox 160). Unfortunately the Dripbox fits only a 22 mm RDA nicely while the Druga is 24 mm giving an overhang which I find aesthetically displeasing.

    However I’ve decided to live with that because the flavour is soooo excellent and it runs cool. The Druga isn’t as tall as the Tsunami 24, which it replaces, and puts out massively HUGE plumes on VG.

    The Druga has an ultra wide stumpy mouthpiece that I love, doesn’t spit back or even crackle. The airflow is widely adjustable and I’ve set it for a brisk flow over the coils.

    I had to run the Tsunami wide open which seemed about right to be fair but left no room for further options or eventualities.

    Overall I found the Tsunami very good and could recommend it but the Druga for me is superb.

  16. Don’t bother. I have a squonk mod (kangertech)and wish I had never bothered.
    All they do is leak everywhere. All my clothes and jackets are covered in vape juice.

  17. I have The dripbox 160 paired with The velocity v2 bf rda ,what a combo !! From the price point I believe it can’t be beat! The v2 also has the option of a full glass top cap ! Letting you keep an eye on your coils and wick so you don’t under or over squonk!! I Love it !! I recommend it to anyone thinking of squonking and it won’t break the bank !!

  18. Recently purchased lost vapes drone dna 166 I’ve paired it with cthulhu aria rdta what a combo !! Having previously used my sviampo 75w squonk paired with the hadaly rda on a daily basis my mind was made up to upgrade (more power) wit rhe drone .. highly recommend

    • That’s actually not true. At the ripe age of 50 I’m almost certain that “Missy’s Wet Box” was actually the “First”. 🙂 Hope this helps you.

  19. The Kanger DripBox 2 never seems to get much love for some reason. It’s got all the bells and whistles of a fully regulated mod, a pretty decent chip, Especially for Kanger. ( Same 80W chip as the CUPTI 2) It is very affordable and the Stainless Steel version looks especially nice. I honestly believe that if you combine price, features, and looks, it’s easily the overall best value on the market. Especially for newbies because of the prebuilt dripcoils that Kanger provides for the RDA.

  20. The 2 best squonk rda’s by far are the Velocity v2 and Hadaly. One dual coil and one single. Both give great flavour and vapour production.

  21. Also did not mention the Coppervape mod. Got one under a Velocity V2 1:1 clone and doing a real nice job. Have a brass one coming. I am liking the Coppervape authentic mods more so than the affordable Reo Grand clones.

  22. Didnt mention either the Velocity V1 or V2? Those are a staple in squonking RDAs especially with the V2 having a bottom feed pin in place that you reove a plug screw from for squonking.
