Appearance and design
If a vaper has ever seen (not even necessarily held in his hands or used) the devices of the American company dotMod, he knows that one of their chips is a recognizable strict design. In the new dotSquonk 100W device there is nothing new and supernatural – a classic parallelepiped with rounded corners, which despite its apparent simplicity fits perfectly in the hand.
As one would expect from a DotMod device, the decorations and decorations are a minimum of the company’s logo on the side panel, applied in gold paint and the branded golden button with a unique pattern.
