The year 2018 has past half but there is a new trend in the vaping scene before the year comes to an end, The Squonk Mods, also known as Bottom Feeders. This is an alternative way to store your e-liquids within your vaping device instead of using RTA (Tanks). It has an advantage of having an additional capacity of up to 10ml of e-liquids. The iJoy Company has taken advantage of this trend creating the very first Single Battery Squonk Mod that can produce a maximum output of 100 watts. Today we will talk about the Capo Squonk Box Mod.
Firstly is its appearance. It seems that iJoy has kept some of the more appealing design elements of the original iJoy Capo but have melded them to a squonk layout. Most everything about the first iJoy Capo has stayed, from the single, top-loading battery to the spring-loaded 510 connector pin at the top. The wonderfully big and unmissable firing button has also been re-invited to the party. But, iJoy did not just repurpose the Capo as a squonking mod and then just forget about it. They have invested and infused an enormous amount of work into making the Capo Squonk one of the best beginner, and regulated squonk mods out there. The squonk bottles (yes, there are two that come included in your kit) are made of a high-quality and food-grade silicone that is not too soft that it forgets to pump e-juice up into the atomizer’s well or stays deformed after you’ve pressed it. To prevent the bottle from accidentally being squeezed during refilling, the softer side of the container is encased in a hard plastic shell for you to grab onto when pulling out or installing the bottle.
Secondly is about its performance. I didn’t fill up the squonk bottle to its maximum, but I figure I put it at least 5 ml of e-liquid. I enjoyed just seeing the juice well on the Combo fill up. I turned the device on, I set my wattage to about 60W and started vaping. The flavor of my Strawberry Shortcake Ice Cream from Cosmic Fog and VaporFi was incredibly sweet and luscious. I turned my wattage up and surprisingly did not notice much of a change in my vapor flavor or my cloud strength. The closer I got to the Capo’s 100W maximum, I realized that I was getting neither more profuse or hotter clouds. I don’t remember having any such issues on the original Capo device (or else you would’ve heard about it), so I was left mystified as for why the device couldn’t produce a real 100W vape.
I asked others about this problem, and the explaination is: You have to treat this like a mech and build at the previously mentioned 0.15 or under mark, due to the mod only outputting 4.2v. There isn’t a voltage booster in this device, so it’s not going to hit those high wattages like they would on any other device.
All in all, the iJoy Capo squonk mod was a great entry in the beginners squonk market, but as an excellent vaping device, it could not make it.
