    Why is Smok so popular?

    I’ll stick with it. Not giving up vaping. Not over my dead Smok anyway. Thankfully, I’ve only spent my money on my mod. The others belonged to my brother and exhusband and they bought theirs on their own. I am tempted however, to have the kids “buy” my exhusband a mod for Father’s Day. When we...

    Why is Smok so popular?

    If only. I’m apparently vape tech support for my ex, and frankly I’m afraid NOT to answer his questions for fear of any of his mods blowing up while he had the kids. He isn’t web savvy. One already almost blew with them all in the car. It was the Smok V8. He had to toss it out of the car window...

    It’ll be a great purple paperweight.

    Why is Smok so popular?

    If it was just me, I’d call it luck. So far, my family has 3 dead Smok mods, and one more dying a slower death. It’s apprently changing settings all on its own. If it was just one or 2 mods this post wouldn’t exist. I’m talking about 4 mods and that’s not even getting into the fact that 50% of...

    Why is Smok so popular?

    Ah, but I treat my mine well too. I’ve been vaping on and off for years. Never had a mod fail like that until Smok.

    Another stupid question

    This is why I have multiple tanks. They do all come with spare glass though, so there should be one in the box. Tape is bound to leak, and the pressure in the tank will be off, which could cause a coil to flood or not wick properly.

    *****Best 150W box mod*****

    I’m reluctant to recommend this because I’ve had some minor issues with mine, but Wismec makes smaller mods that take multiple batteries. My 3 battery Wismec Releux Gen 3 is smaller then my 2 battery Lost Vape Paranormal 166, but the Paranormal feels nicer in my hand with the leather cushion...

    Hello! So many questions...

    Kanthal can’t do temp control. I imagine you run the risk of burning your coils in temp control, as the mod can’t really regulate the temp for a kanthal coil. You want nickel, titanium or stainless steel for temp control. You got good results this time due to luck I suppose. Once you burn out a...

    Eleaf IStick Pico 75w info?

    Just don’t use Smok coils in them. There are other coils that are compatible with the Baby tank. I haven’t had good luck with Smok coils.

    Mine is only the 166. Not the newest one, because I’m cheap like that and I also don’t need the power on the newest one. Kind of regretting it though because the screen on the new one is nice.

    Hey hi helloo

    Smok V8 is the one that almost blew up in my ex husband’s car.

    Hey hi helloo

    I gave them a chance. Two other family members of mine gave them chances too. End result - one almost blew up in a moving car, two became paper weights, and one more is having issues. That’s 4 mods. That is definitely bound to affect someone’s opinion on a company, no? Especially when two of the...

    Vape good but then burnt

    If none of the above works, you may need a new coil. I found that once I get a burnt taste in my Smok coils, nothing really worked but changing them.

    Hello Again

    Welcome back. Your story is similar to mine. Was really into vaping 3 or 4 years ago, then smoked again, and started vaping part time again a couple months ago. Part time due to equipment issues, but they’re resolved now so now I’m vaping full time. I wish I just dug out my old equipment from...

    Why is Smok so popular?

    Oh, the Dyson sucked all right. It sucked donkey balls. They were new back when I got one, so they were very expensive. One year and done. I don’t even have a pet so there was no animal hair to worry about or anything like that.

    Why is Smok so popular?

    So far, out or the three recent mods I have purchased, only one seems to be working perfectly. The one with the DNA chip, which really, I should have bought first. I was trying to be cheap though, and have thus paid the price because I do not have the sort of luck that makes cheap worth it. The...
