On this occasion, we will briefly discuss something that might sound unfamiliar to some vapers. What is it?

People new to vaping may have heard a strange word often spoken among other vapers. That word is squonking. Sounds funny, doesn't it? So, what does squonking mean?

The short answer is a type of vaping that involves using a vaping device called a squonk mod and an RDA that can be filled with liquid from the bottom. Since that was just a brief answer, we will now give you some clear and precise definitions.

History of Squonking

Squonking first started several years ago when creativity led to the creation of homemade squonk kits. At that time, the dripping technique was also a new phenomenon.

However, in squonking, it's not just dripping; instead, it's spraying liquid from the bottom up, from the atomizer to the RDA.

Squonking remained a niche style of vaping for several years. Why do we call it niche? Because squonking was limited to vapers who had the technical knowledge to assemble their own squonk devices.

But since 2015, all that changed with the advent of squonk mods. The first manufacturers to create squonk mods realized that squonking was becoming a trend.

Therefore, in 2018, squonking made an 'epic comeback' in the vaping world, and now there are many squonk devices circulating in the vape market worldwide.

What is Squonking?

Now that we've traced the history of squonking, let's get into more detail. The squonking vape technique uses a squonk mod specifically designed by its manufacturer with an RDA that supports the bottom-fill liquid technique.

Every vape device has a coil, an atomizer, and a wick (cotton). The atomizer coil is the component that is heated to turn the liquid into vapor.

For this, in a squonk device, the atomizer at the bottom will be directly connected to the wick in the RDA. Therefore, the wick will draw liquid from the spray tank and will continue to absorb liquid.

The squonking technique will not make the wick dry; in fact, it makes it easier for us to avoid dry hits or burnt taste resulting from a wick burning due to lack of liquid.

Squonk Mod

A squonk mod is a type of vape mod that contains a battery and a liquid squeeze bottle inside the mod body. The squeeze bottle is also called a squonk bottle. When the squonker squeezes the bottle, the liquid is then pumped into the atomizer to saturate the cotton and coil.

When you release the bottle, the vacuum effect of the air being drawn back into the bottle also pulls excess liquid back into the bottle. There's no leftover liquid and no overflow. However, it's important to note that you must keep your wick wet; otherwise, spitback will occur.

While most squonk mods use flexible liquid bottles, some use stainless steel bottles with a pump. When choosing between a flexible bottle and a pump style, there are several things to consider.

Because the mod body must contain a battery and a squonk bottle, the majority of squonk mods operate with an 18650 battery. Consequently, the battery life of a squonk mod is limited, especially when using low-resistance coils that require more power.

Conclusion

In this discussion about squonking, we have explored what this vaping technique truly is and how it has rapidly developed in recent years.

From initially being the domain of experienced vapers to becoming a widespread trend globally, squonking has changed the way we enjoy vaping. This concludes the article from Vapeboss on squonking that you can learn about.
