Goodbye Silicone Squonk Bottles: SMOANT’s New BATTLESTAR
As bottom-fill devices moved into 2019, the rapid growth of pod systems also showed strong momentum. There have been major improvements in overall bottle compatibility, ergonomics, bottle sealing, squeeze comfort, safety chips, and integrated functions. S
The bottom-fill devices have shown significant vitality in 2019 alongside the rapid development of small pods. The overall compatibility structure of the device with the oil bottle, the further integration of ergonomics, the airtightness of the oil bottle, the comfort of pressing, and the integration of safety chips and functions have all undergone substantial optimization. SMOANT recently launched the BATTLESTAR series bottom-fill kit, which is the main content of today’s sharing.
The bottom-fill devices have evolved from pure "mechanical boxes" to various chip-enhanced, dual-battery high-power forms, with changes in safety and actual performance being revolutionary... The SMOANT BATTLESTAR SQUONKER KIT has modified the traditional "squeeze bottle" silicone structure, opting for a PVC hard-shell oil bottle and a press-to-fill design.
The official packaging includes the items shown in the image above: the main device, atomizer body, a spare oil bottle, and a pair of coils. Additionally, the accompanying dripping atomizer also comes with another solid electrode, allowing this atomizer to be used beyond just the kit.
Device dimensions: 87.5X44.5X40.5MM
Output power: 1-200W
Voltage range: 6.0-8.4V
Body material: Zinc alloy
Battery capacity: 18650X2
Device modes: VW/VV/CURVE/TC/TCR
Resistance support: 0.05-3.0 ohms
The prominent gold button on the top serves as the "fill button," allowing for direct operation with the thumb. When the oil bottle is empty for the first time or after cleaning, it requires several presses to perform the "priming" operation. Once the e-liquid reaches the tubing position, a noticeable resistance can be felt when squeezing, similar to the principle of a perfume bottle or squeeze spray.
The battery cover also serves to lock the oil chamber, and the use of hard materials and this installation method makes it easier to operate compared to traditional silicone oil bottles, further improving the leakage issue during installation. The shape of the oil bottle and battery complement each other, further compressing the size of the device.
The oil bottle has a large filling port, easily accommodating common glass droppers. The top oil outlet, combined with the gold fill button, features a sealing ring to prevent leaks. So far, there have been no leakage issues due to pressure during use.
The overall craftsmanship of the BATTLESTAR SQUONKER is quite impressive, with excellent sensitivity in button response, crisp pressing feel, and meticulous handling of the seams between various components. During USB charging, the official announcement states that this chip supports 2A fast charging, allowing it to be fully charged in about 2.5 hours under 5V/2A conditions.
The operating system is not significantly different from SMOANT's previous devices; the display is large and clear. In addition to the five-click on/off function and three-click mode switch menu, features like curve adjustment and temperature control can be referenced in the Chinese manual, which includes detailed illustrations and descriptions, so I won’t elaborate further here.
The accompanying dripping atomizer electrode platform and airflow do not have any structural highlights; it is a practical dripping atomizer. Using a 24MM diameter dripping atomizer can accommodate various coils and standard single wire data based on its structural characteristics, and the upward airflow structure can achieve a diagonal direct blow to the coil.
The bottom fill holes are divided into two small holes for diversion, which theoretically provides more even distribution compared to a single hole design, but this is only valid when the device is on a level surface. Installing a pair of A1/22G/3.0/6 single wire data, with the airflow closed by 40%, already provides a noticeable increase in draw resistance, resulting in a good overall flavor experience.
Returning to the overall experience of the BATTLESTAR SQUONKER KIT, compared to older bottom-fill devices or single-battery bottom-fill devices (which also have chip protection), its oil bottle operation is more convenient, effectively improving the issues of accidental squeezing or leakage that often occur with silicone bottles. The traditional "squeeze bottle" has transformed into a metal button structure, providing a more uniform pressing feel and better control...
The actual craftsmanship and experience of the device itself are also quite impressive, and the accompanying dripping atomizer also offers a good inhalation feel and flavor expression capability. Even when separated, the main device and atomizer are both convincing products on their own. Lastly, let’s not forget that SMOANT has always been a price slasher, so those interested should keep an eye on the launch time...
