The Rise of the Squonk Mod in the Vaping Community

Worldwide, 6 million deaths are caused by tobacco smoking alone, and that number is going to reach 8 million by 2030 according to the World Health Organization. It only makes sense for an alternative to smoking tobacco, such as vaping to become so prominent in the market in such a short duration.

But over time the vaping culture has evolved to accommodate different reason that people vape for. Vaping has become more than a smoking cessation aid, some people are picking it up now just to enjoy the flavor, cloud, nicotine rush or tricks.

The Squonk Mod
Squonk mods aren't new to the vaping community, it had been underground for a while, a user in e-cigarette-forum made a hand-made mod that could feed e-liquid to the dripper atomizer by squeezing a bottle. Bottom-feeding squonk mods removed the need to drip from a bottle into the mouthpiece to reach the wick inside the coil. Even though it has been existing since 2010, it remained underground until Yiloong came up with the Geyscano squonker mod, Kangertech made their 30$ Dripbox mod. Once the Squonk mod was brought to the masses, it took the vaping community by surprise.

Some unregulated mods come with circuit protections built in the chip that help avoid risky user errors, the others are mechanical so they do not have any battery or circuit protections which make them only for the very experienced vapers.
