SMOK R Kiss Kit with TFV-Mini V2 Tank 2mL Kit BATTTERY NOT INCLUDED (Gold Black) Powerful, Smaller and Lighter Design SMOK Vape E Cigarettes Kit No Nicotine

Product Information

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. 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 Therefore it’s best vaped between 80-120W based on your personal preference. You can get a large amount of vapour from this tank but it does make a loud noise when you vape, especially with the airflow wide open. 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! 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!

I’ve got to say when I first opened the kit I was hit with a sense of the wow factor and to a smaller extent the feeling of nostalgia for the earlier days of vaping; to me this is a proper box mod, regardless of what you use as a topper!

How Does the SMOK R-Kiss 2 Differ From the Original?

Considering the amount of e-liquid you go through at a higher wattage, Smok might have been better creating a 21700 version if it was possible with this mod. Nevertheless, the battery longevity with dual 18650s is still very good I was more than a little put off when testing the kit in bypass mode due to the sheer power pushed through the coils! 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 The single and dual mesh coils for this particular tank have been around for a while and we know what to expect - plenty of vapour and some decent flavour. What’s great about the mesh coils with this V2 Mini Tank is the flexibility you have depending on whether you prefer more cloud or flavour. For even more vapour production, vape at a higher wattage using theSmok single mesh coil. This delivery option is not available for customers in Guernsey, Jersey, Northern Ireland, Scottish Highlands or Aberdeenshire. International

I see it as a rich tea biscuit, a nice biscuit that most people like, but it’s no jammy dodger Overall Conclusion The bigger design with the R-Kiss 2 slightly reduces the convenience compared to the previous model, but it’s pretty similar with a fire bar on the side for both. Despite the three year gap between the release of the R Kiss and the new R-Kiss 2 in 2022 from Smok, they both use the same TFV Mini V2 Tank, which has its plus and minus points. What you do get from each mod and tank combo is major cloud production. If you’re a cloud chaser, the Smok R-Kiss range will be right up your street. Battery life will depend on which cells you use, but most will easily last a full day and evening.The charging screen shows separate battery icons and percentage, and it charges at a reasonable 2 Amps.The longest I had to wait was 1 ½ hours, but under an hour on average as I don’t like to run my batteries too low so a top up charge here and there will give you longer use. Is it a Smok?For extras Smok have included an extra 6.5ml bubble glass, V18 mini dual mesh 0.15Ω coil, a baggy of O Rings and a type C charge cable. I tried this mode only once with the Hellvape Dead Rabbit V3 RDA and felt like I had burnt my tongue lol. Pros 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. I personally found the R-Kiss 2 mod a delight to use as I suffer from arthritis, and the screen and font size are great and very easy to read. TFV18 Mini

Thanks to the technology of the IQ-S chipset you’ll experience a fast ramp-up whatever power level you select. With a range of 5 - 200W, you’ll be able to find a level of vapour production that suits you. Aside from Variable Wattage, there’s also the option of Bypass mode. Bypass will detect the coil resistance and will deliver the maximum power output for a harder-hitting vape. I won’t be going into great detail with the TFV18 mini as I have already covered it within my Smok Fortis review, I will say however the tank has tri airflow and comes with a sleeve mouth piece it breaks down to 5 parts including the coil for easy cleaning! Smok R-Kiss 2 ModFrom the top the R-Kiss 2 has a well turned 510 threaded connection plate, with a spring loaded gold plated pin. I was in for a welcome surprise when I opened the TPD edition box; a spare glass! Recent Smok TPD kits have often missed this which I found annoying, not only do we have to suffer 2ml but we get less in the kit too, so the spare glass restored my faith.Better still,it’s a proper glass unrestricted one, I don’t know the capacity but it’s more than the double walled preinstalled one – shhhhh let’s hope nobody notices! The R-Kiss 2 has a host of safety features including 8 sec cut off, short circuit and over discharge protection. Smok R-Kiss 2 Kit in use With the TFV-Mini V2 tank and S1 coils, this was always going to produce a great vape.As basic as the mod is,it feels comfortable to use.Agood screen and 2 Amp charging makes it a great choice for vapers wanting everything as simple as possible, Smok have achieved the KISS principle but at the cost of user experience in my view.If it is aimed at new vapers, then auto-wattage should have been included.

The mod looks and functions great if you’re after a lot of vapour and a hot vape the R-Kiss 2 can handle the power.However, when you adjust the wattage to a lower setting below the recommended on the coil (the great thing about these Smok coils that go with the tank is the different choices), the lower wattage significantly reduces the flavour. 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! The Smok R-Kiss 2 sub ohm vape kit combines a high power output with an intelligent design for a powerful, responsive vape. Capable of a 200W max output, it’s the ideal option for DTL (Direct To Lung) vaping, powered by dual 18650 batteries (sold separately) you’ll experience more vaping between charges. Each kit comes complete with the Smok TFV Mini V2 (TFV8 Baby V2) 2ml tank and two TFV Mini V2 mesh coils that deliver better flavour from e-liquid. I would like to say I’d recommend this kit! However the R-Kiss 2 kit is not going to be for everyone; hence I would never recommend this pairing to inexperienced vapers at least not with the included TFV18 Mini. Would I buy this kit again due loss or damage?
