For all those who lack the convenience of filling and power of single-battery devices in squonks, the Dovpo company offers its second version of the Topside Dual 200W mod.

Not long ago, we looked at a rather interesting bottom feeder, born from the joint efforts of the Chinese company Dovpo and YouTuber Brian from the channel The Vapor Chronicles, who could boast a rather unusual, but extremely convenient filling system. Perhaps the only thing that the presented device lacked was power from a powerful, but only one 21700/20700/18650 battery. The guys did not sit still for long, but quickly realized what fans of squonks and big clouds might need, and at the end of last year they offered the community a new device powered by two batteries with the same simple bottle cap.

Dovpo Topside Dual Squonk Mod Packaging

new box mod comes to the buyer not in such a convenient plastic case as its predecessor, but in a cardboard box with a drain, on which the device itself is depicted (pleasingly, it is the same color as the one inside), in the form of pictograms the main features of the device, the color (I got Gun Metal) and the Topside Dual slogan: With great power comes great simplicity. On the right side of the cardboard cover the delivery set is listed, on the left there is the logo of the co-author – the TVC channel and his signature Designed by The Vapor Chronicles. e-liquids in canada On the back, in addition to the marketing “lure”, the details of the Chinese company and verification of the authenticity of the device, there is a small illustration of how to properly install the filled bottle into the mod. Probably for very slow users who can guess to do it horizontally or even upside down. Under the drain is a black box made of thick cardboard with embossed logos of both authors of the device, and under the lid of which is the device kit.

In addition to a decent pile of waste paper, which almost every vaping device is now supplied with, and the box mod itself, in the kit you can find a box with a spare bottle, exactly the same as was included with the single-battery Topside. This time, thanks to the larger box, it no longer comes to you separately, but lies next to the mod. But compared to the installed one, there are still differences, and we will consider them below. Otherwise, nothing special could be found here except for a hex screwdriver and two spare screws for disassembling the bottles.

Appearance of Topside Dual Squonk Mod

Our device can be attributed to a large series of dual-battery squonks, using a “ryx-like” form of battery placement, where the place of the third battery is given to a bottle with liquid. By the way, if the manufacturer had released not a bottom feeder, but a three-battery mod, I think it would have found its fans – although the device has impressive dimensions and height, but the same as its predecessor, a very convenient shape – with wavy walls, which improves the ergonomics of a rather angular case.

The entire front panel is occupied by controls and a screen, the micro USB port is located to the left of the display, the window for pressing the bottle is on the opposite side. The upper and lower parts of the mod are painted black, and the rest of the case does not have any joints or fasteners, it is a solid piece of pleasant to the touch and rough aluminum with cutouts for various elements.

DOVPO Topside Dual 200W Colors

Almost from the very start of sales, Dovpo offered eight options for painting the case, we are talking specifically about anodizing the aluminum part, the top and bottom are painted black everywhere. But the choice consists of both more strict colors (black, gun, gold and silver), and bright (red, blue, green and purple).

Impressions and conclusions

Dovpo Topside Dual Squonk ModAs with the previous creation from Dovpo, I have no complaints whatsoever about the dual-battery Topside Dual: the device is perfectly assembled; nothing rattles, and works without bugs or glitches. The proposed filling is not just convenient, but wonderful, you don’t have to take anything out and smear yourself with juice to fill the bottle, there are no problems with the implementation of the connection and the supply of liquid to the atomizer. Everything that was missing in the Topside Squonk has been implemented in the new version, i.e. they added power and operating time due to the second battery. Personally, for complete happiness, I still lacked the old-school varivolt mode, which the manufacturer took and added to the new device. The Fire button works without delay, the screen is simple and informative, the manufacturer is not shy even about showing the current output of the board, unlike some. A small pleasant surprise was the ability of the device to raise the resistance below the declared one – the dripper with 0.05 Ohm started without problems, and the mod honestly showed that on fully charged batteries it is capable of working with it at a maximum of 42 A and 91 watts. The only thing that confuses is the lack of gas outlet and ventilation holes in the case, the device can heat up both when using low resistances and when charging.

The system of installing bottles has completely migrated from the first version for one simple reason – it is convenient, simple and does not require any modifications, the capacity of 10 ml is quite sufficient while maintaining reasonable dimensions of the box mod and “long-playing”, even when using dual-spiral atomizers. Thanks to this, compatibility between versions has been preserved, owners of a single-battery Topside Squonk can use bottles in the Topside Dual. The only and biggest drawback of the previous version is the white silicone, which can be stained by liquid, this has been fixed in the new one. It’s a pity that the spare TS Bottle Kit did not replace the container, and I have no idea where you can buy a separate silicone jar, although the entire replacement set can be found on sale on Chinese sites. But judging by the images, they are exactly the same as the one I got. The only drawback that can scare off a potential owner of the device is its fairly large dimensions, naturally associated with the box mod format, but two batteries and a 10 ml bottle for liquid cannot be squeezed into a device the size of a pico. And if you want the same thing, but more compact, the Topside 90 Squonk has not disappeared anywhere. Although it is also quite large.
