NEW IN THE QUEUE – THE S-BODY S-CA3 SQUONK BOX
Squonkers take a look!
Ok, so you have no idea what a “squonk” box is? A “squonker” is typically a box style mod containing an on-board juice bottle. You squeeze (“squonk”) the juice bottle and it injects liquid from the bottom directly up into the atomizer. Atomizers must be bottom feeding capable to be used on a device like this. This one does come with a bottom feeding atomizer.
It’s a little big.
It’s a little bulky.
I have no idea why the battery port isn’t on the bottom and out of sight.
And the fire button is in a bit of an uncomfortable location.
Outside of that, she feels pretty solid and has a unique classy look.
Specifications:
- Atomizer Material – Stainless steel
- Mod Material – Zinc Alloy
- Resistance – 0.2ohm-2.0ohm
- 510 spring loaded connector (brass)
- Battery – User replaceable 18650, one included
- Output wattage – 5W-50w, 9V max
- Bottle – 10ml (only one included)
- Available color – Gun Metal or satin nickel
- Reverse Polarity Protection
- Short-Circuit Protection
- Low Resistance Protection
- Low Battery Voltage Protection
- Overheating Protection
- (Updated – 7/20/15)Estimated $62.80 retail price, $42.80 wholesale
NEW IN THE QUEUE – THE ISTICK TC40W – 7/14/15
Has Eleaf done it again?
Here we have the new iStick TC40W. This is a wildly affordable temperature control device for use with NI200 (temp control mode) or Kanthal (wattage mode).
I’ve done little more than to vape it with a NI200 coil and it appears to be working.
Note that although I’ve seen this advertised as working with NI AND TI coils, it appears to be calibrated for NI only.
If this one tests out ok, it will be another huge win for Eleaf. Although it probably is already… I know you guys are too impatient to wait for the review. 🙂
Yes, yes, I know. This is going to be a popular one as I already have a ton of questions on it. I’ll do my best to push the review.
Specifications:
- 2,600 mAh Battery Capacity (internal, not user replaceable)
- OLED Screen
- Variable Wattage – Max of 40 Watts
- Variable Temperature – Max of 40 Watts, non-adjustable
- Spring-Loaded Center Pin
- Puff Timer
- Battery Level Indicator
- Stainless Steel Components
- Battery Capacity: 2,600 mAh
- On-board micro USB charger (on bottom)
- Rated Resistance Range: .05 – 1 ohm (TC mode) .15 – 3.55 ohm (VW mode)
- Temperature Range: 100 – 315°C / 200 – 600°F (TC mode)
- Available Colors: Black, Stainless, Blue, Gunmetal Grey

Hi Phil.
I just want you to know this.
I have been a smoker for 16 years, when i unfortunately began when i was 12 years old.
I`ve tried everything to quit smoking, but without success until i finally, after
several weeks of reading and searching on google found your channel on YouTube.Thanks to you and your recommendations, I took the big step and bought me a Vamo V5,
when i felt this was a nice start in the right price range for me.I`ve been following your videos in over 1 year now and i feel my health is so much
better after i started vaping.
I have more energy, better appetite and much more joy in my everyday life.Thanks to you Phil!
Continue with what you do, you are changing the lives of many smokers and vapers out
there.And again, Thank you!

From Dan
Phil,
I am coming up on my one year smoke free anniversary. It is the same for my
mother and father as well. You, your reviews, and the information you provide
have been instrumental in that transition. Most importantly for my parents.
They were former smokers who had quit for 15 years only to pick up the habit
again. Vaping has provided them with a healthier alternative to cigarettes.
I am a divorced and single father of three beautiful children. I needed to
think of their futures and that I wanted to be there for all the wonderful life
experiences they’ll have. It was time to kick the smokes to the curb. I was
introduced to vaping on a vacation to Virginia with my children and my dad.
Like most, I started with something simple. An Innokin iTaste CLK. However,
that wasn’t cutting it. I turned to the internet to find out what more I could
do. Stumbling upon your site and Youtube videos, I began to see there was so
much more out there that I could avail myself of to not fall back into smoking.
Evolution began. MVP 2.0, Vamo 20 watt, Aspire Nautilus, IPV Mini, Kanger
SubTank(along with learning to build), iStick 50 watt, Youde Zephyrus, and
finally the Evic-VT. (Which I give a thumbs up to so far) I’m going to start
venturing into the world of temp control builds now. Not only has vaping
accomplished freeing me from the poisons in cigarettes, but it really has made
my entire life better in so many aspects. Most importantly the ability to
enjoy activities with my kids without having to break for air or another smoke.My parents who are at/near retirement age, really needed this as well. In the
day and age of Obama”Care”, their health is even more at the forefront. I am
so happy for them and relieved. I felt somewhat responsible for their relapse
since they took up smoking again when they took me out for dinner on my 21st
birthday.
I just felt compelled to pass this along to you as we near this special date in
my family’s lives. I wanted you to know how important the work, and we know it
is WORK, you do is to so many people. I can’t thank you enough for everything
that you do for the vaping community. So it is with pride and health that I
would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to you for helping me and my
family members make the switch to a healthier lifestyle.Thank you Phil,
Dan
From Myles
Howdy Phil. I just wanted to say thank you for all the work you do and all the informative reviews you post. I look forward to watching the videos put up every day after work. Because of your hard work I have been able to continue vaping and not having to worry if what I just bought is crap. Best of luck in the future and thank you again.
MY FAVORITE E-LIQUIDS LIST AND STREET SHOUT OUT LIQUIDS
Considering what’s currently going on with AP & DI, I’ve decided to keep Some Of My Favorite E-Liquids list and Street Shout Out Liquids list on this site… HOWEVER…
Both of these sections now contain:
IMPORTANT NOTE: When I have test results showing these liquids contain no DI/AP, you will see “TESTED” next to their names. Any company is welcome to send me the test results for the liquids contained below.
So if you would like “TESTED” to appear next to your liquid’s name, feel free to send me your test results for AP and DI.
Also, when mentioning any liquids in any upcoming video, it will also be mentioned whether or not I have AP/DI test results.
I’m doing this for those who would like the information to make an educated decision on what they choose to vape.
Thank you.
DIMITRIS POPS A BLOOD VESSEL…
With the DI (Diacetyl) and AP (Acetyl Propionyl) issue raising it’s ugly head again, I thought I’d post a replay of Dimitris’ last show on SmokeFreeRadio.
There’s a lot of good information in it from a VERY passionate Dimitris. I just hope he takes his blood pressure medicine before these shows…
My opinion on the subject?
- It’s an avoidable risk on our journey towards tobacco harm reduction.
- It has the potential to hurt the industry.
- Testing should be done on ALL liquids (and if you can’t afford the testing, perhaps you shouldn’t be making liquids).
- Testing results should be made VERY public (clean or not) to allow vapers to make an educated decision on what they choose to vape.
In this show…
