With the positive hype around the RDA Squonking features, I had to do some research and found that this specific comprehensive vape blog below from Vaping360 was the most informative, includes item "read reviews" and is definitely a must read.

The added bonus is having a comparison on various of the latest “Squonk kits and devices” that were available at the end of 2017 and also into 2018.

P. S. I had to also add in the write up on the classic Coppervape BF (Bottom Fed) 18650 Mech Mod at the end of the blog.

“A look at the best Squonk mods at the end of 2017" (and also into early 2018)
“Most folks are familiar with rebuildable dripping atomizers (RDAs) and the performance they offer. The one disadvantage of using RDAs is the actual “dripping” part of the equation. Carrying around a bottle of e-liquid and constantly dripping into your atomizer can often be inconvenient and potentially messy.”
“So, what if you could drip without dripping and still enjoy the inherent performance of a conventional RDA?”

“Good news, you can!”

Welcome to Squonking!

Specifications
"The iJoy Capo Squonk box isn’t your average squonk mod. Like most squonker mods, it utilizes a single battery with the option of either an 18650, 20700 or the 21700 included in the kit. With a 21700 cell, you get almost the performance of two 18650s, from a single battery. Flavor for days…"

"This squonk mod is a regulated device, unlike your typical mechanical squonkers out there. It goes up to 100 W, and features a big OLED screen. The fire button is big and comfy, and it holds up to 9 mL of e-juice in its easy-to-squeeze silicon bottle. The kit comes complete with the Combo RDA Triangle."

"The Sigelei Fuchai Squonk 213 also works with a 20700 or 18650, which will give you about 90 W of power. The interface is very much like the original Fuchai 213 dual battery mod. If you were a fan of the original Fuchai 213 and are into squonking, you’re going to love the Sigelei Fuchai Squonk 213.”
