Well alot depends on the squonker you get etc? Prices range from pretty cheap like the one phatfil linked robby normally has the head's up along with his squonking partner in crime @spikeyfridge or for the ultimate in squonking you could get @windows to make you one??

for budget clones the zenith V2.5 from fasttech and the chalice3 FT and GB, are 2 Bottom fed attys available there are others but some like the hobo3 dont all arive with the bottom feeding pin fitted or supplied. (zenith v2.5 comes with a spare b/f pin and not with one fitted u change it over..)

Unlike the converted drippers the Chalice3 is a proper designed for squonking atty, they have a concave deck and very short wicks so the wick is wetted then the excess liquid is sucked back down the tube. This keeps the liquid in your wick clearer, slightly increases the heat-up time and together with the small chambers these designs allow are the reasons that many believe squonking has better flavour than drippers.

Oh contraire!!! I've got cheapish geyscano and firebox ones and @windows ones. All are very good but I do prefer the regulated ones for the oomph factor. Waiting on the flask squonker. Best atty so far is my 14mm cyclone though the zeniths are pretty damn good too!

In my opinion, I'd go for a geyscano as a first squonker. Suck it and see. Mine works flawlessly. Only downside is the sharp corners but that's just me. I use mine with a ft zenith 2.5 and have had no issues. Might even get a blue one at some stage if I can find one!

Should be a hollow pin which comes out the centre post and screws into the 510 connection. You just swap them over
