Reviewer comments on business characteristics
Eleaf must be in all market segments and to follow the fashion for bottom feeder boxes, the pico range has been chosen to accommodate this type of equipment.
After a first version very inexpensive and not super qualitative, the second opus of the Squeeze seems to take a much more interesting way.
A much more refined design, the arrival of a chipset capable of reaching 100W and having all the modes usually present on an electro box, and finally, the possibility of using 18650, 20700 and 21700 batteries. is all that is happening with this second version.
A novelty that seems at first glance very promising, the price is logically higher, so let's see if this Squeeze 2 keeps all its promises.

Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and perceived quality
This new Pico Squeeze has little to do with his little sister. It keeps the general shape of the family Pico with its “little cap” for the battery hatch, but that's about it. At the first grip, we immediately notice that the beautiful has “gentrified”, it is undoubtedly the most luxurious version present in the range. Pico.
The design is very successful. The combination of black lacquered metal and raw metal is very harmonious to the eye. It has a massive side which is reinforced by its heavy weight. This weight is at the same time a disadvantage but also an advantage because it is one of the components of the impression of quality which emerges from the beautiful.
On the Top-Cap, there is a 510 connection pierced in its center capable of accommodating atomizers up to 28mm without any harm. Right next to it, the small cap to unscrew to access the battery compartment.
On the face there is a raw metal insert which includes the small screen and a double round +/- button. One of the slices houses the compartment for the 8ml bottle, the latter is partially closed by a cap, also in raw metal. It is held in place by a magnet and two small rails.
On the back of the box, there is the micro USB port at the bottom, unlike a Fire button adopts the same shape as the +/- button and is also found in a raw metal area.
A rather neat realization that we would not necessarily associate with Eleaf if the box did not bear the mark.
As for the dripper, it's very simple. A very basic 24mm atomizer which rounds off at its top and is capped with a fairly short 810 type drip-tip matching the color of the box.
There is only one vent of a substantial size which can be varied in size. The platform equipped with offset post offers to accommodate a single Coil. Note the presence in the pack of a small casing which bears streaks over its entire visible surface and which surrounds the base to give it the same aesthetic appearance as the side of the battery hatch cap.
Frankly, this box is really pleasing to the eye, Eleaf has managed to keep the spirit of the series of Pico, while doing a real good on the qualitative feeling.

Reviewer's comments on functional features
As one might suspect the squeeze 2 has been equipped with all possible modes with the arrival of this chipset and its screen. Variable power mode, Bypass, Temperature control (TI, Ni, and SS), TCR, in short, nothing is missing.
Power may vary from 1 to 100W and temperature control from 100 to 315 ° C. The minimum value of the 0.05Ω resistor will be the same regardless of the selected mode. The maximum limit it, differs, it will be of 3Ω in variable power or by-pass and it will be 1.5Ω in temperature control.
We also find in the list of its equipment, the new Avatar chip which ensures very good reactivity to the shoot. The box has all the devices essential for secure use, again, nothing surprising.
Autonomy will depend on the battery chosen, it will necessarily be greater with a 21700.
The box offers a quick charge function to 2A via the micro USB port.
The bottom feeder system is very classic, an 8ml silicone bottle that you squeeze to bring the liquid back up to the dripper. The bottle is illuminated by an LED whose color can be changed.
The dripper is designed to work with a Coil. The top-cap forms a dome to ensure good flavor restitution. The air is distributed by a single opening which crosses the body of the atomizer on a slightly inclined plane. The opening can be varied by rotating the top-cap.
Le coral 2, yes that's how it is called, is equipped by default with the Pin Bottom Feeder but there is a classic Pin in the pack in order to be able to use it on an ordinary Box.
A kit which obviously has everything you need to satisfy you.

Reviewer's comments on conditioning
Eleaf turns black for this new Kit. Indeed, exit the traditional white box, instead a refined matte black box which only receives the name of the brand. It is surrounded by a thin, predominantly black cardboard sleeve on which a photo of the kit appears.
On the other sides of this skin, as usual, information on the contents of the pack, the authentication code, the various digital contact points of the brand and of course, the standard logos appear.
Inside, the kit includes the box, the Dripper, Coils, screw joints, a multifunction tool, a replacement bottle, an adapter for 18650, simple pin for the Dripper. The kit is complete, as always we will also find a manual for the Box and a manual for the Dripper both being translated into French.
A kit perfectly in line with the expectations of consumers who will only have to acquire a battery and a vial of liquid to be able to start.

Reviewer's comments on the use of the product
The Squeeze 2 is compact enough to be suitable for mobile use, only its weight (almost 300g, atomizer and battery included) may be able to slow down some. The ergonomics are not bad but the central rear position of the Switch requires a little adaptation time to find the right socket. By the way, we also regret that the screen is hidden by your hand during use, which is not necessarily practical.
The controls are easy to learn. The traditional 5 clicks to turn on or off. On the way 3 clicks to open the mode change menu, then use the +/- button to switch from one mode to another. The main setting menu is accessible by simultaneously pressing the + and fire button. The controls are therefore simple and are all presented in the user manual.
The Box responds well, the Avatar chip seems to be doing its job well.
The filling of the vial is very simple, just remove the metal cover, remove the vial, fill it and put it back in place without pressing it otherwise it will inevitably overflow on your little fingers.
The electronics work very well and we can salute the good management of the battery. Battery that you can recharge quickly via the micro USB port, thanks to the fast charge function.
Le Coral 2 is easy to implement. The Coil is easily put in place and the cotton can be dosed without any harm. The airflow is also easy to manage, we simply turn the top cap and voila.
Airy, it offers a good restitution of flavors and is able to make beautiful little clouds.
An effective kit and easy enough to live.

The mood ticket of the reviewer
Eleaf change completely with this 2 number of the Squeeze. The first was very cheap but it was a little too modest both in terms of presentation and on a technical level.
The second opus changes completely. Styling is taken care of with this combination of painted steel and raw steel. The level of finish is up sharply, we are at the level of a superior product Joyetech. A chipset and a screen are emerging with, of course, all operating modes bypass, variable power and temperature control.
The use is rather easy, even if some ergonomic choices are questionable. The position of the switch opposite the screen and the +/- button makes it almost impossible to see the screen when you shoot, at least if you want the grip to remain comfortable.
Le Coral 2 which is offered to you is well suited, it is not the most extraordinary of the Drippers on the market but it is still not bad and in any case, it greatly surpasses the coral first name.
A beautiful product and an effective kit, this new opus completely erases the original version. Is this the sign of a real change of course for the leader of the discount product? To see this Pico Squeeze 2 and its price level, it could look like it. What is certain is that if you are looking for a Box Bottom Feeder, the Pico Squeeze 2 represents, I think, a good option.
Good vape,
Vince.
