Hi Vaping Underground members, In this review i take a look at the G-PRIV 3 230W Kit with TFV16 Lite Tank from Smok. The SMOK G-PRIV 3 230W Kit with TFV16 Lite Tank was supplied for the purpose of this review by Ella from Sourcemore.

Introduction
Smok have probably released more vaping devices than any other manufacturer and in the past did have issues over durability and QC but that was in the distant past as over the last 3 years Smok devices have just got better and better and are amongst the best i receive to review, unfortunately mud sticks!
I have every version of the G-Priv series of touchscreen devices and have seen it evolve into this gem, version 3 which comes paired with a decent subohm tank that accommodates coil heads that use NexMesh and is well worth a look!

Aesthetics and Ergonomics
On opening the box i was met by a lovely shaped device, the cut corners, raised front panel (which incorporates the full face touchscreen) also with cut corners and fire bar turns a basic rectangle into a pleasantly shaped form. The device i received was the Prism Gold version which comes with a matching TFV16 Lite Tank. The colour options are Purple Red, Prism Chrome, Prism Gold and Black, the build quality and finish is immaculate, this is not the Smok of three years ago but a much improved manufacturer releasing top notch devices.
The back panel has a different design dependent on colour option and down one side above the Black fire bar we have a horizontal lock button. Up top to one side we have a 510 plate raised by a hair which incorporates a nice spring loaded 510 and the bottom reveals generous venting slots and the Type C USB port. The device has some weight to it but is not too heavy and fits nicely in the hand, having a fire bar in my opinion always helps with the ergonomics and i personally use a squeezing action to fire. The G-Priv 3 is a solid and seems very durable device with no rattles whatsoever and yet another improved device in the G-Priv range of touchscreen devices.

TFV16 Lite Overview
TFV16 Lite is a smaller version of the TFV16 Tank being 24mm at the base and 28MM around the bubble glass. The capacity is also less being 5ml (2ml TPD version), you also receive a spare glass.
The drip tip is a customised 810 with o-rings which sits on a platform so some of your own will fit while others won't or will look odd if they overhang the platform. The fill method is top-fill, just press the top button inwards and then the top will rotate open revealing a very nice sized fill slot.
You get 2 different Conical Mesh coils provided that use NexMesh, the coils just get press fitted into place. Pre-installed is a 0.2ohm single mesh coil head which is rated between 60 to 85W and also included is a Dual mesh coil head 0.15ohm which is rated between 60 to 90W.
The airflow is very large dual cyclops which moves with a nice tolerance and has stoppers, overall a fine looking solid subohm tank!
