The pod kits in the NOVO and nord series can be used with a range of coils. Each has a push fit connection for easy installations. To change one, just push the coil into the base of the pod. The rubber rings will hold it firmly in place and prevent liquid from leaking through. The airflow is a little on the noisy side wide open and is incredibly airy, while I can get away with 85 and 90W on the lower side, the tank feels as though its constantly wanting to stretch its feet and go to even higher wattages! Bypass Mode Basically bypass mode takes the power directly from the batteries – I want to add a word of caution here or you could burn out your coils, my estimate with full or newly charged batteries is the mod will fire at near to or at the full 200w of the device! Love or hate the battery door it is what it is – a slide out flip up door, while at present the door has no wiggle to it, in my experience this type of door can get loose from use! Use a reputable charger and keep an eye on the process for battery safety. It’ll say “Charge Completed” when fully charged.

Remember that your kit comes with useful extras like spare O-rings and gaskets for the tank to keep things leak-free.You can run into issues with your SMOK mod if the coil isn’t set up correctly, though this specific issue mostly affects homemade coils. With adjustable airflow and easy on-screen wattage settings of up to 200w, it makes the perfect vape kit for both starters and experienced vapers alike. The finish on the paintwork is excellent and although not matte, it’s not quite a shiny fingerprint magnet that I feel the need to polish on my t-shirt all the time. On the left side of the mod is a large lateral fire bar, which is especially welcome to those of us that have dexterity issues, the right side is plain and covered with the silicone paint, both sides have bevelled edges making the device comfortable to hold in the hand for extended periods! Smok R-Kiss 2 Battery Door and Compartment

The R-Kiss 2 mod measures in at 84mm tall, and will take tanks with diameters up to 30mm; the TFV18 mini has a diameter of 28mm and is 54mm in height, and is pre-installed with the V18 mini mesh 0.33Ω coil. I tried this mode only once with the Hellvape Dead Rabbit V3 RDA and felt like I had burnt my tongue lol. Pros

The workface of the device has a large 1.3in TFT colour screen and includes all the info you would normally expect to see; the fonts are easily large enough to be read at a glance! The sliding battery door can be a little stiff but I’d always prefer that over a battery door that you feel may pop open at any minute. Although the larger SMOK tanks look more advanced, they also follow the simple push fit setup. The SMOK T-Air Subtankhas a 510 connection, so it can be used with most mods. This will need to be removed by unscrewing the base to then access the coil. Then just remove the coil and push a new one in place. The R-Kiss 2 is a dual 18650 battery mod with up to 200w output power; the chipset inside is the IQS giving the device a stable reliable performance! The device has a nice large colour screen and a large lateral fire bar perfect for those with disabilities. I was more than a little put off when testing the kit in bypass mode due to the sheer power pushed through the coils!

When working with Li-ion (Lithium-ion), LiPo (Lithium-ion Polymer) and any rechargeable cells, please be cautious and carefully use as they are very sensitive to charging characteristics and may explode or burn if mishandled. Please make sure that you have great knowledge on all rechargeable batteries before you use them. Always charge batteries at the clean and fire-proof surface. Never leave charging batteries unattended. If you see that there are visible damages on the batteries, please do not use. Always keep, store and transport the rechargeable cells in a safe, non-conductive container in a controlled environment And the reason? SMOK mods can be a little wonky when it comes to durability in my experience. Most new vapers aren’t aware of this, so it’s worth noting – just as an FYI!The TFV Mini V2 (TFV8 Baby V2) tank is crafted from Stainless Steel and can utilise the high power output of the R-Kiss 2 mod. Filing and refilling the tank is easier and safer thanks to a childproof top filling mechanism. There’s an adjustable triple airflow built into the bottom of the tank, which allows you a greater degree of control to deliver either a tighter or looser inhale. When it comes to e-liquid, we recommend a 70% VG or higher VG e-liquid. SMOK coils are made to be easy to change no matter the product. While each device may have its own specific method, they are all designed to make the user experience simple.

Insert two 18650 batteries, ensuring that you follow the correct polarity markings (positive and negative). In this review I will be using the pre-installed V18 Mini Mesh 0.33Ω coil to start with then swapping it out for the V18 Mini Dual Mesh 0.15Ω coil within the TFV18 Mini, as a liquid I will use be using “KwikVape Lime Slushie”. How to prepare the TFV18 Mini for use! A Basic guide I love the feel of this kit in the hand. It’s size is absolutely perfect for an out and about set up. The fire button is comfortable when using either my fingers or my thumb. I love the centred 510, although due to the size of the mod you won’t get away with using your 30mm atomisers without some overhang. Menu Functionality and Firmware Upgrades Disposables have become one of the most popular vapes for beginners. They offer an all in one device with no extras needed. Although the brand has made a number of disposable vape kits, the SOLUS range has become a great alternative, with simple to use refillable pods and an auto draw function. I really like the slide to open top fill mechanism, especially with the addition of the button to make sure it stays closed.Bottom fed airflow is easily adjusted via the air flow control at the base of the tank and the movement of the airflow control is nice and smooth. It stops at either fully open or fully closed. The coils heads are nicely threaded and super easy to install. This device has a covering of scratch resistant silicone paint, it reminds me very much of the covering on the Vaporesso Gen S kit it has that same soft feel to it!
