Squonk mods are more susceptible to leaking than other types of Mods. Although any mod may leak, squonkers are more prone to doing so. Handle the device with care and respect to minimize leaks. Never hold it upside down, drop it, or throw it around. Leaks can damage the batteries in a mod, resulting in permanent damage to the device or worse. Therefore it's essential when looking for a squonk mod to go with a reputable company and one that's well constructed. It's common for the latest squonk mod to come with waterproof boards or possibly leak-proof designs. They may cost more, but it's worth it.
