THE WISMEC/JAYBO
LUXOTIC SQUONK KIT REVIEW
Special thanks to
UKVB (www.ukvapourbrands.co.uk)
for sending this mod my way for me to review!!!
After much success in
the mod world, Wismec is joining the game of squonking. There has
been a surge in popularity for 'squonking' recently, a method of
vaping that involves a bottom fed squeezable bottle (usually made
from silicone) that is filled with your preferred eLiquid. This then
connects to an RDA via a 'squonk Pin' which is basically a standard
510 connection, but with a hole to allow eliquid to pass from the
silicone bottle, through a tube and into the bottom of your RDA. This
method is quickly becoming more and more prevalent amongst advanced
vapers, due to the ease of use, and eliminating the need to
continually drip eLiquid on to your coils – just squeeze the bottle
and you are good to go!
I have dabbled in the
way of squonkers, however many felt cheap and flimsy, plus the added
anxiety of the fact that they have all been mechanical, creating an
uneasiness within me, worrying about accidental firing, shorts,
leakages and other malfunctions that may arise when utilising a
mechanical mod. I was about ready to hang up my attempts at
squonking, but then UKVB sent over the brand new Wismec Luxotic...
THE MOD
Straight away, the
whole feel of the mod is great. It is weighty and substantial, it
didn't feel like it was about to break in my hands and I could tell
that it is manufactured with precision and care.
In terms of aesthetics,
this mod is sleek, compact and attractive, whilst retaining great
build quality. Currently it is available in 3 colour variants, Yellow
Honeycomb, Green Honeycomb and a Green/Blue resin. The doors are
removable, allowing you to change the colour scheme of your mod. I
really like the stainless steel side of this device, it looks very
professional and feels durable.
The Luxotic is a single
18650, semi regulated mod that works very much like a mech, but with added safety
features such as power limiting protection. Even though this device
is semi regulated, it has a maximum output of 100W, making it an ideal
choice for big clouds and big flavour. Another positive is the fact you can actually switch the device on or off, giving you the assurance that the mod will not fire when it is in your pocket or handbag etc. It holds a silicone squonk
bottle with a capacity of an astounding 7.5ml.
THE RDA
The RDA that comes with
the Luxotic kit is the 'Tobhino' a purpose built atomiser, complete
with a bottom fed squonk pin. It features a postless deck and is
ideal for single coil builds. I really liked the fact that you can
actually remove the 510 drip tip, and use the included adapter for an
810 wide bore tip.
I also found that the
whole look of the RDA to be sleek and unassuming. It is short and
discreet whilst still packing a huge punch.
WHAT I LIKED
I found that the whole
set up was extremely easy to use, and provided a great vaping
experience, the inhales were hard hitting and the flavour was out of
this world. I appreciated that the silicone bottle was a little bit
stiff in comparison to other bottles that I have tried, purely down
to the fact that it reduces the chance of accidental squeezing.
The Tobhino RDA was
incredibly easy to build on, and the airflow adjustments were great
and would suit any vaper.
WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE
Even though I really liked the Luxotic, the fact that you cannot adjust the wattage was a very slight hindrance. Although having said that, the auto regulation on this mod is spot on, and you can guarantee the hit you get will be very satisfying!
The Luxotic/Tobhino kit
has an RRP of £59.99, making it a very decent cost for what you are
getting.
Overall, a great little
device that I think would suit intermediate vapers who are interested
in trying squonking, with a carefully engineered mod but without the
huge price tag
