Ive had poor luck with smok mods and was wondering how others experiences have been with smok mods. I like the way they are setup but scared to purchase another due to them not holding up. Plus Smok has awful C.S.
Sounds kinda like my experience but nothing leaked. I did the firmware update and it never turned on again. Thanks for sharing, I've pretty much came to the conclusion that they are junk and lucky to get more than a month or 2 out of their mods
very nice !1st run were crap. Heard they have improved. I ended up skinning mine

Agree, garbage.Ive had poor luck with smok mods and was wondering how others experiences have been with smok mods. I like the way they are setup but scared to purchase another due to them not holding up. Plus Smok has awful C.S.
I had an Alien that had a battery door that kept unlatching. Got a vendor credit and replaced it with a Sigelei Kaos which I have been very happy with.I own an alien, H-Priv, xcube ultra, T-Priv, G-Priv and an osub. Not had a single problem with any of them but the Xcube ultra is definitely my favourite one.
I really like the T-Priv & the paintwork is certainly better than the alien but not used it long enough to say. However the fact it came with the big baby that is my favourite tank I couldn't really turn it down.
They work well in power mode but as alot of people know TC isn't the best.
As I don't use TC I don't really mind.
@redheadturk I might end up getting the kaos myself if they still have it on pay day
The battery door on the alien is crap & my first one the screen went black. The second alien is doing okay but still has issues. I'm getting a kaos myself, for exact same reason. Too replace my Alien, has a similar form factor but hopefully will be less problematic.I had an Alien that had a battery door that kept unlatching.

sounds like you bricked it. my brother was going to update his g priv, until he found out you have to hold the fire bar down the entire time. apparently if you release the fire bar at any time during the upgrade it will brick it. i wonder who at smok thought that was a good idea?Sounds kinda like my experience but nothing leaked.

Good idea I've never had to update then, the Xcube ultra my most used smok mod came with latest firmware & the G-Priv I've just never had to update.sounds like you bricked it. my brother was going to update his g priv, until he found out you have to hold the fire bar down the entire time. apparently if you release the fire bar at any time during the upgrade it will brick it. i wonder who at smok thought that was a good idea?
Not true with the alien... Upgraded it twice with the tank on it and it was fine.oh, and if you leave the atty on the mod during the upgrade, it will brick it
I'm glad you like the mod, I've had my Alien for a good few months & love itI have had my alien since Dec 6th... My all day mod and never once had a problem that cleaning it up a little didn't fix. I love the little guy But, if paint is the only thing stopping you from buying it then I guess you don't really want it. I mean you can get a wrap for it and mine is about due for one as I am super klutzy and have just about knocked all the paint off from drops!
You all should just call me "Grace"... My mama does!
The leds on the T-Priv are better than the kaos and I prefer it to the kaos with the crappy leather sticker. Don't like the kaos much!From my experience, including customers, Smok has improved the paint on the Aliens, I know I've abused mine pretty good, and had no issues. The ProColor Is really cool too. Full Color, LED's galore, and a Big Baby Beast... And ECC has some good stuff in store.
And that Kaos Z @Breazy_Com posted should be cool, soon! Plus Sigelei has another fun one coming!

I personally really dig the Kaos... the LED's got me, I admit it. I don't get as excited about mods these days, but everyone is really putting some stuff out that looks cool. I always have to try them too. And I think a lot of companies are starting to realize the impact of releasing things too fast... They still bombard us, but I hope I'm right. I see more time taken, and delays occurring occasionally, but I take that as a good sign, if it means it's done to fix production.
I've had this discussion frequently lately, and I get and respect all opinions. Solely speaking from experience. I didn't start carrying Smok until the Alien. I'm newer still to this game as a retailer. I believe the paint has been fixed, since I've not received a single complaint. Doesn't mean it doesn't happen though. I always say this with slight hesitance, but from my constant reading and learning, we truly are getting something in our paws that is rather complicated for the price. No excuse at all for failures, it's just true. Again, I remember the iPV 4, I bought and retired mine in weeks. My observations and the word I hear is that P4You is no longer "beta testing" mods on us as they used to be accused of, and in situations, rightfully so. The iPV 4 was a complete mess. But they've killed it with the Eclipse. YIHI gave them an incredible chipset, it's another level from anything P4You has put out IMO.
Nowadays, I carry a ton of Smok products. Personally, for the price point, I think they make a nice device. I love their tanks, for tanks. Not to say there aren't duds, but when you realize how long the Alien has been around, and they still make new colors and sell, that means a TON are in the wild. I won't for a second excuse a poor product, not at all, and I recognize that real issues have occurred. I solely speak from my experiences and I know that is far from representative to the whole vaping world. Smok and P4You made some missteps, as did Sigelei. I for one, have been impressed with what they've put out recently. And the chips are getting re-freshed a bit, which is good. For power at least, I had no complaints.
I guess I just remember paying $120 bucks for an iPV3 (still works just fine BTW) and thinking it was a steal... $1 a watt was revolutionary. Devices need to work, and hold up for a respectable amount of time, I suppose I just see the value in what we get. And, I try to avoid the stuff that sucks. Bad for you all and me.
I say give everything a chance, and that starts with reading, asking questions as you are, and watching reviews. That is the best way to make up your mind in this saturated market. I can assure you there's a mod for you out there, It's a good time for vaping in that regard... I hope you find something you like!
My smok mods have been good for me but yeah I love the big baby. My favourite and most used tanksI have had a Koopor Plus, Koopor Mini, and Alien. All of them died just a few months after I got them. I like the Smok tanks especially the Big Baby Beast but would not buy another one of their mods.
I hope you enjoy them when you open themI have the Koopor Plus, Knight Plus Kit and Stick One Plus I haven't opened yet. My sister was here and bought a Stick One Plus. She's a MTL. The resistance is too low for her even though we cut the air flow way down. She's looking for 1.2 or 1.5 coils. So no, I haven't tried a SMOK mod yet. The tanks are quite good.
I love my smok modsI have 3- V8 Sticks, an Alien, and a little Q-Box. None of them have ever failed me. Smok has been an excellent brand for me. They are the busiest company in vaping it seems. They are constantly pumping out newer and better products.
I was gonna get the GX350 but I'm going with rx300 and it's good to have so many mods. Don't use alot of mine though, they are just backups to me...I have G-Priv and a GX350. I have no real issues with either. They do TC well with Ni200, they're reasonably well made for the price point, and they never crapped out on me in any way. But then I'm a careful owner, and having so many mods to choose from, I don't use them constantly
I don't use the TFV4S as much now but I have two minis, two micros and two full sized ones. The micro ones are best. I could never work out why they brought out a micro, a micro V2 and a mini!I'm one of those guys that never had a problem with Smok products. I have only two mods a Smok R80tc and an Alien 220. Both work perfectly and I've never had a problem. The R80tc is coming up a year old in October and the Alien will be a year old in Feb. I also have a TFV4 micro tank that is the beez-knees.
it's Smok lol I'm suprised there's not a turbo, 2000XL, and a plus!I don't use the TFV4S as much now but I have two minis, two micros and two full sized ones. The micro ones are best. I could never work out why they brought out a micro, a micro V2 and a mini!
Yeah they sure overdo things but the big baby's are my favourite tanks an most of my dual battery mods are smok ones. I'm definitely a fan!it's Smok lol I'm suprised there's not a turbo, 2000XL, and a plus!
Careful with the 510 on Wismec stuff. I was going to trade some stuff locally for an RX300, but the 510 was stuck on it when we met. Same problem I have on an RX 2/3 that I've taken really good care of.I was gonna get the GX350 but I'm going with rx300 and it's good to have so many mods.

Just get a wrap for it, although personally paint has been fine on my Alien for a good few months. How do you like the GX2/4??All my stuff is smok. I have the v8 stick still kicks some butt the fire button sticks a smidge but not bad. Then i have the v8 stick mini witch still is good no prob with the button. Then the gx 2/4 no prob with that. really like that mod cuz of the two bat feature to. And then fainally the alien witch has been flawless expecept for the paint. But what is some paint missing? Shows its used and works and is used a lot
That's strange. I've had 2 Smok Alien 220's quit on me within 6 months. My IPV 400's still work after a year. The Aliens also stayed at home. The IPV's went to work and have been drooped a few times.From my experience, including customers, Smok has improved the paint on the Aliens, I know I've abused mine pretty good, and had no issues.
