Today’s review will focus on a mod and dripper kit from the Chinese iJoy, released on the wave of squonk popularity — CAPO Squonker Kit.
It seems that the iJoy conveyor never stops for a minute, trying to displace the leaders from their positions. It is simply impossible to explain the incessant announcement and appearance of countless “captains”, “combos”, “capos” and “echoes” otherwise. And, of course, such a popular type of device as squonks, the productive Chinese company could not ignore. iJoy CAPO Squonker Kit is one of two kits that are in the manufacturer’s portfolio today, released a month after the CAPO 100 Kit.

The entire set comes in a plywood (!) box, wrapped in a “sleeve” with an image of the setup in the color that is inside. In addition to the names of the manufacturer, the CAPO SQUONKER KIT device and pictograms with illustrations of the main characteristics, on the cover you can find the manufacturer’s details, a marketing description of the kit, a note about the design option (in my case it is black) and a standard sticker with a verification code. buy e-liquids On the back side, the package contents are listed, but they may vary.

Judging by the list of Product Includes, the device can be equipped with a 20700 or 21700 battery, but, unfortunately, in my set there are no marks next to either of them, and there was no battery in the package. Otherwise, this is a self-sufficient kit to start the device out of the box, they even did not spare a couple of coils and a piece of cotton. There is only one spare screw for the posts, but the zip bag contains a gold-plated pin for using the drip tip on regular mods.
Appearance of the iJoy CAPO Squonker Kit
I received the so-called kit, i.e. a mod with an iJoy Combo Squonk RDA Triangle dripper, which is generally outwardly indistinguishable from its namesake COMBO RDA. The box mod differs from its predecessor CAPO 100W much more significantly, the changes are primarily due to the fact that this is no longer a simple “pico”-like box, but a squonk with the need to place a bottle in the body and reduce the free space for the display.
Colors of the iJoy CAPO Squonk Kit
The iJoy company offers six design options for the CAPO SQUONKER KIT: Black, Gun Metal, Rainbow, Gold, Green and SS, each box is equipped with a dripper of the corresponding color. But, of course, you can buy both the box mod separately and the atomizer itself, available in the same colors.
Appearance and design of the iJoy COMBO RDA Triangle
As noted above, it is impossible to distinguish the new atomizer from the usual COMBO RDA with a failed innovative screwless system for attaching coils either by appearance or even by dimensions; the “triangular” new product has its entire external design taken from the previous dripper. Right down to the engraving on the skirt with a roaring bear and a monogram of C and R.

Diameter: 25mm
Height: 25.5mm (32.5mm with included drip tip)
Triangular gold-plated base
ULTEM drip tip
Side airflow
Gold-plated squonk pin
Gold-plated 510 squonk pin
iJoy COMBO RDA Triangle included drip tip
On top of the dome there is a landing place for a standard translucent yellow Ultem non-oring drip tip (outer diameter ∅18.5mm), it is quite thick and has a wide internal chamfer, the landing platform is 20mm in diameter. Around the connector there is only the inscription Designed by iJoy and a couple of familiar icons. The positive pin for the squonk, installed in the connector, protrudes a millimeter above the thread, it can be unscrewed with a negative screwdriver and replaced with a regular one, without an internal hole.
Conclusions
Appearance of iJoy COMBO RDA TriangleI used the device for about a week, and had to abandon the complete dripper after a couple of days. No, there are no problems with it, but with the used winding (0.13 Ohm) and current output limited by electronics to 40 A, it slowly “swings” and quickly drains the battery. Plus, the response time seemed a little delayed, it seems like the device starts frying right away, but accelerates somehow reluctantly. Although, perhaps, the reason is in the used 18650 can (VTC5A), and with 20700 or 21700 the box will behave completely differently. There are no complaints about the atomizer itself, except for the easily removable dome, it is better to choose other O-rings here. Well, there is a question about the liquid that comes from nowhere under the COMBO RDA Triangle platform, although this was not noticed with other drippers. Most likely, the reason is the condensation that collects around the atomizer and then flows under the base. I spent most of the time with the Nudge RDA from Wotofo installed (many thanks to Zuncl again for such a royal fit), I liked this small dripper much more. The box has only one serious problem: the holes in the tube are too narrow, the liquid with the most common content of 30% PG / 70% VG needs to be squeezed out of the device.
IJOY CAPO Squonk CS1 bottle in the mod Overall, the box mod is well assembled, looks good and may well suit everyone who wants to join the “squonking” (what a word, brrr!) for little money. Especially for those who do not really trust mechanical squonks, but do not require anything else from the device except for the variable wattage. The dripper, in my opinion, due to its rather large evaporation chamber, is more suited for “clouds”, which are quite problematic to squeeze out of a single-battery mod, especially one limited by the board. “Kobmo” is more suitable for a dual-battery variable wattage or even a mechanical mod. But, I repeat, with 20700/21700 the situation can change dramatically.
