Hi Vaping Underground members, In this review i take a look at the R-Kiss Mod Kit 200w with TFV8 Baby V2 from Smok. The R-Kiss Mod Kit 200w with TFV8 Baby V2 was supplied for the purpose of this review by Ruby from Smok.

Introduction
The latest device from Smok is a slight departure from the usual Smok device as it's a high powered simple wattage only device yet maintains a full colour screen despite having no menu system, just adjust wattage and vape. Like the Species we see the R-Kiss paired up with the TFV8 Baby V2 with the EU version having the mini version of the tank to be TPD compliant. This really is a very simple device with not much to talk about especially when i've already covered the tank and both supplied coils in the past, so let's crack on!

Aesthetics and Ergonomics
The R-Kiss Kit came in the usual Cardboard box packaging that products from Smok come in. I received the Black Red version the first colour in the description refers to the body the second the side bars and buttons. The other available versions are Red Black, Silver Black, Gold Black and Navy Blue & Prism Chrome. The side bars are red, one is fixed the other is the fire bar, the back of the device is plain with "R-KISS" printed in White central bottom. The front of the device has "SMOK" printed in White central top then underneath this is the colour screen, below the screen to the left and right we have the Red navigational buttons followed by the micro USB port central bottom. The base of the device is the hatch door and has printed safety stamps, moving to the top we have a centre 510 plate with Gold plated, spring loaded 510. The device is pocket friendly with dimensions of 77*44*28 it's not much bigger than a single battery device while still being able to accommodate fair size tanks. I hear it all the time in threads but in the last 12 months i have had no issues with Smoks build quality and the R-Kiss is very well made with a good finish and no rattles whatsoever.

TFV8 Baby V2
The TFV8 V2 is the same tank that came with the Species Kit i recently reviewed and like with the Species the EU version comes with the Mini version of the tank. The coils are also identical so i concentrated on the R-Kiss device using it with other tanks but picture the device with both versions of the tank. Rather than leaving the need for those interested to go to the species review i have copied that overview below:
TFV8 Baby V2 Overview
The TFV8 Baby V2 is the long awaited update to the TFV8 Baby that seems to of been around forever. I am not going to go into great detail as the TFV8 Baby has been reviewed so many times i really only see it necessary to point out the changes to the tank. The top of the tank has had a lot of work done to it with a lock mechanism added like we have on the prince, the seal has also been moved to the underside of the top-cap and the fill port is far bigger, so far so good. At the bottom of the tank we now have tri airflow slots and they are very wide, the protruding 510 is Gold plated and non adjustable. The tank comes in a mini version which has a straight glass making the capacity TPD compliant, the bulge glass that takes the standard version to 5ml bulges out quite far, i actually like the look. I am not a fan of the drip tip, it's a sleeve that fits over the central protruding section on top of the tank, this section has o-rings to secure the sleeve. The drip tip is comfortable enough but i like the option of using my own which isn't possible. The two coils included with the kit are both mesh coils, they are the Baby V2 A1 0.17-ohm Single Mesh Coil rated at between 90w and 140w with best between 110w and 130w, the other coil is the Baby V2 A2 0.2-ohm Dual Mesh Coil which is rated between 70w and 120w with a best between 85w and 105w.

Fitting The Batteries
The R-Kiss accommodates dual 18650 batteries which are fitted via the common battery hatch door, orientation is clearly marked within the battery compartment but yet again Black on Black on the hatch door (Jeez i'm really considering sending a small tin of White paint to all the manufacturers). The door is sturdy both while open and with the batteries installed, a really good job it's very secure and no movement whatsoever.
