The Rebel Vape DNA 100c is their latest designed mod released for the market using Evolv’s latest board the DNA 100c.
The Rebel Vape 100c comes in many different colours but the most well known and popular is the Ally Black for the stealthy and sleek design
Here’s How Good The Rebel Vape DNA 100C Squonker Is
The Rebel Vape DNA 100c Squonker is the latest single battery squonk from Rebel. It is a very lightweight, ergonomically designed 3d printed device weighing at approx 68g. The device utilizes replaceable 21700 and 20700 batteries. Evolv boards are widely regarded as some of the most reliable and efficient on the market.
First Glance & Overview
The device comes in a 3d printed tube with their logo embossed on the side and a QC sticker on top. Made from recycled plastic, the tube is a nice touch.
Popping the top off the tube greets you with the device inside. There is a soft velvety bag ( great for storing the device in when not using) 2 cards one with warranty information and the other as a quick troubleshooting guide for Evolv boards.
The mod Accepts up to 28mm tanks with no overhang and can push to 30mm as the full width of the mod, but the edges are curved so you will get a small gap. But no overhang as such.
You will also have a Rebel Vape branded vape band for your tank and a Rebel Branded sticker as well as a USB C cable. Note that the cable is optional when ordering as well as the extended warranty.
The squonk hole is easily accessible and the bottle is slightly recessed for 2 reasons. Firstly so you dont accidentally push it, but also it can take much larger bottles. It currently comes with the YFTK 8ml squonk bottle, which we feel is a quality choice.
With taking the device out of the pouch you will quickly realize that there is nothing like it the overall feel and texture of the device is just great and even when installing a 21700 or 20700 battery you will only really feel the weight of the battery and atomizer once attached. They are incredibly light
The buttons on the device are nice and clicky and were very easy to press. The menu buttons are now separately installed for easy changing. Thankfully there is no rattling at all and no stiff buttons.
With installing a Molicell P42A the screen lights up instantly. Rebel Vape does not currently put a custom theme on to the boards to leave it fully customizable for the user. If you wanted any theme installed you will need to download the Escribe software from Evolv and browse there their theme library.

Build Quality and Construction
Rebel Vape is most known for its 3d printed chassis for their devices which makes them very lightweight, comfortable and rigid. you have to put one in your hand to truly appreciate how light it is.
The material is also however very rugged, there are reviews of people literally throwing them across rooms and attacking it with a hammer. Although they are not indestructible and the wrong fall can cause issues.
The DNA 100c Squonker is also an incredibly light device for a 21700 battery device and feels great to use regularly. At approx 68g it’ll be hard to find something this size lighter.
The Ally Black with the all-black 510 fittings combined with the gold plated screw to hold fix the 510 in place make for a great stylish accent piece.
The design of the battery door when removed is a little tight to take off but it snaps back tight with a sense of authority and with no movement or play in the door. The door has drastically been improved with larger clip nodules. Its pretty tight!
We have seen some previous issues with quality from Rebel Vape in previous years and models but they heard what customers have said and worked on redesigns and fixes to maintain their popularity and quality.
Many would argue that these are just plastic mods and you can pick up something with the same board for cheaper and them may be right but would you get the same level of help from a larger manufacturer. In many opinions you would not get the same level of assistance as you would with Rebel Vape.
They may be a smaller company compared to say other mainstream brands, but they work far harder to achieve their goals and keep the level of service.
How To Use The Rebel Vape 100C Squonker
Using The Rebel Vape 100C Squonker is very simple and enjoyable to use, all you will need is either a 21700 battery or a 20700 battery.
Once the battery is installed press any button and the device and screen will awake, after that just press the fire button 5 times to unlock and attach your favorite atomizer on top.
Depending on how you vape there are a few modes you can choose from such as watts, watts boost, 4 temp control modes ( nickel 200, titanium, SS 316 and SS 430), Replay ( like temp control but can work on most other coil materials) and kanthal mode. Each mode is customizable to best suit your need.
If you look into the themes for the DNA C devices you can find some really useful themes that will give you on the home screen more information like voltage use, puff count, amps are drawn and length of puff. You can also put these on yourself with the designer that is downloaded with the Evolv Escribe software.
Install your filled squonker bottle with your RDA, squeeze the liquid up to your rda and vape away. The bottle is soft, so be sure to squeeze gently at first to gauge how much you need without flooding your deck.
What Is The Daily Usability Like?
The daily usability is great it is so smooth and lightweight it is hardly noticeable in a pocket, we combined it with a Goon RDA to experience the performance and to see if there is any kind of delay in ramp-up which we can confirm there is none at all it is a very responsive board which we fully expect from Evolve.
