RSQ Hotcig regulated Squonker Reviews

I was referring to another thread but this one also deals with it.

Cheers!
Thx rain dance, I'll look into bottom feed rda's and coil building. I did some research into Aquino setups, and quickly realised most mods were mech's, which I'm not really interested in right now. Regulated will suit me best I think.

Ok, here goes, I havnt used a regulated mod since February, now this has my attention.

So to the guys with some experience,for a work horse mod, regardless of the price difference, how does the rsq stack up against the other guys, Therion 75c ,SVA clone and Vt inbox

Im Considering a Therion or RSQ

Im not too fussed about TC ,leds or the provided bottle

Thanks guys :)

Kind regards

Owning both the VT Inbox and the RSQ, I can say the RSQ wins for form factor and looks. Battery life between the 2 is about the same, with the RSQ hitting just a tad soft for the selected wattage vs the Inbox DNA chip - but thats negligible. To put it simply, "If a mugger came and stole my vape bag, would I buy an Inbox or RSQ?" - the answer, I'd get another RSQ.
Can't comment on the Therion or SVA as I dont own them.

If you don't need temp control then skip the DNA boards, why pay more for features you won't use?

Hey man,

I've gone through most mech squonkers and personally prefer regulated for squonking.

Here's my 2 cents as I've owned all 4 mods you are talking about;

SVA Clone - It's a nice size but I felt the build quality is under par. Mine had some bad machining and the panels popped off about 2 days after buying it. Also the manual adjusting 510 is a big pain in the ass. Especially if you have multiple RDAs. The chip i can't really fault as it is a DNA but being a 75 I felt it didn't hit as hard as other mods.

VT Inbox - Good mod but a bit on the big side. Battery panels were quite loose and had alot of rattle. Bottles are quite hard (although you can modify silicone bottles to fit but it's a bit of a mission) Chip is the same as the SVA.

RSQ - Awesome little device. Perfect size. Build quality is good apart from the magnets that fall out (quick fix) also the fire button has some issues where if you press it at certain angles it won't fire (Not sure if it was just mine) Led lights are nice in the beginning but get annoying after a while. As for the chip it's good but definitely not as powerful as the DNA. I found it to be at least 5w lower.

Therion 75C BF - Pricey but definitely my favourite. The build, chip and feel are just perfect for me personally. The bottle is one of if not the best that I have used. Soft and hard at the same time. The top filling through the bottle is just great. The chip is miles ahead of the normal 75 DNA. The battery is tricky to take out and put in but after a bit of practice it's a breeze.

Battery Life at 40w on a 5 Wrap fused nichrome Clapton +- 3 Seconds per puff;

SVA - 275 puffs
VT Inbox - 260 puffs
RSQ - 285 puffs
Therion 75C - 300 puffs

Battery - LG Chocolate

If you have any questions feel free to ask.

Compared to the SVA clone I find myself grabbing the RSQ more.
They are both excellent mods and you can't go wrong with either. RSQ just feels sturdier and the self adjusting 510 helps a lot.
 
I’ve owned pretty much every single regulated squonker there is out there and the top 2 are the rsq and therion respectively. The edge goes to the rsq because of its size and form factor. Therion 75c is also great but being slightly larger and heavier made it uncomfortable to pocket carry for me.

I agree with the weight. I don't carry mine in my pocket so it isn't a problem for me but the RSQ wins in the portability category.

If you've got it in your hand and it stays there exclusively... The Therion is untouchable. Especially with the location of the squonk hole it just feels so much more natural, well made and solid. The RSQ is more of a throw in a gym bag or pocket kinda vibe
 
Wow, awesome response, thanks gents, all of you

Special thanks to @Daniel da Rocha for the great comparison and hard data

@Amir iv held a therion 75c in hand and loved it but im not looking for another mod to baby or be overly careful with, the RSQ seems to fit the bill as an everyday workhorse that isnt going to destroy my week if something had to happen to it

Ps. Has anyone tried an OL16 on the RSQ

Best regards

I'll have an OL16 by the end of the week if all goes well with @TheV so I'll have to get back to you on that one

Yup i used it for 2days. But i just cant use the ol16 for long persiods of time. It needs to be squonked after every 2-3 pulls. Running my bf rdtas is much better as im only squonking once per smoke break
 
Has anybody experienced any firing button issues on the RSQ. I've been running mine since Thursday evening and this morning out of the blue the firing button is responding erratically. Then it fires then it does not and sometimes it only fires for about a second and then stops. Got to press the living daylights out of it to ensure it fires.

Hey man,

I had the same issue on mine. All I did was rotate the button a few times. Press it and turn it. After that I didn't have any further issues.
