FIRST IMPRESSIONS
As far as packaging goes Smok did a nice job with kit presentation having a box inside a outer sleeve with all components resting in individual foam cut outs. I'm familiar with the TFV18 Mini tank from previous reviews so no surprises there, I was sent the Black color kit and it's a matt Black which means no fingerprints.
The R Kiss 2 is a very lightweight dual 18650 battery device without batteries installed and still remains fairly lightweight when batteries are installed, dimples cover the entire device except for 3 locations ( top plate, firebar and bottom battery door ). The dimple texture has somewhat of a rubber feel to it and aides in the devices grip for a no slip feel in the hand.
I was glad to see the R Kiss 2 still used a firebar as the original does because on a full sized box mod a firebar makes using the device effortless.
The kit comes with a 2nd mesh coil that's a dual mesh 0.15Ω rated for between 80-100 watts and a best setting of 90W, pre-installed is the single core 0.33 mesh coil rated for between 80-140 watts with a best setting of 100-110w, ( these coils are hungry for power ). Also included is a spare bubble glass, spare O-rings, charge cord, user manual, warranty card and battery safety card.
DEVICE FEATURES
TANK FEATURES
TFV18 MINI TANK
I'm so glad that SMOK decided to shrink down the TFV18 Tank to a much better size, the original was too tall of a tank in my opinion, you do loose some capacity but 6.5ml is plenty. Since it's introduction it has become a Tank that I use on a regular basis from time to time between other reviews because the coils perform very well with very good flavor and vapor.
One thing I need to point out is that the drip tip is a sleeve type which if you loose it your SOL unless you have another drip tip of this type or you can purchase a new one from SMOK. Normally I prefer a straight glass tube over a bubble glass but the TFV18 Mini is only bubble glass of which you receive 2. On the Mini the bubble looks good and is size appropriate for the device making a very attractive combination of the two.
The TFV18 Mini uses a push button to release and unlock the top cap that can then be swung out counter clockwise for juice filling, a open sign with a arrow is printed on the top cap. The fill port is large enough to accommodate a 100ml bottle tip or glass dripper without removing the drip tip . There is plenty of airflow for all you air lovers because of the triple airflow slots that have hard stops, this is a very airy tank and I had to close the airflow down to halfway or 1/4 open to get a RDL vape.
I have never had a accidental opening when carried in a pocket, the top cap locks closed very securely and closes with a click that can be easily heard. Both coils perform well with the 0.33Ω being a air machine that produces thick clouds, I found it a little too airy for my taste even though it can be closed down for a nice RDL vape, I prefer the 0.15Ω dual coil. The coils are screwed into the base then the base screws onto the the tank.
The 510 connection appears to be screwed into the top plate with 3 screws and feels very secure with no wobble or give to it, the 510 is spring loaded and has a very long amount of travel fitting every atomizer I tried on it. The top plate is connected to the device using 4 screws that recess for a nice countersink look, you can attach up to a 30mm atomizer before overhang of the sides develop.
The 2 18650 batteries are installed from the bottom of the device via a trap door that we see on many devices, doing a bang on the desk test many times to see if the door would open proved it's solid with no unintentional opening of the door ( SOLID AND SECURE ).
Opening the door reveals correct polarity marked on the door in white with a plus ( + ) for battery A and a minus ( - ) symbol for battery B, also inside the battery tubes a Red plus and Blue minus symbol at the end can be easily seen.
Being a lightweight and compact device along with the dimples make holding it in the hand very comfortable, Smoke even recessed the front and back corners for a even better hand fit with all corners being rounded off as well.
The whole left side of the front facing device is the firebar that can be activated with a simple press or squeeze of the hand, I'm a sucker for firebars because it's the simplest way to vape other than a auto-draw feature. The firebar can be activated from the top to about 3/4 of the way down, below that it doesn't activate .
POWER MODES - ( WATTAGE - BYPASS )
This is a wattage only device that has 2 power modes consisting of Wattage or Bypass, no T/C mode. There is plenty of power with a max wattage of 200 watts and a voltage range that has a max of 8.2 volts. In wattage mode it takes some time to reach the maximum wattage of 200 watts because it adjust in 1 watt increments, round robin feature is included within the device.
I urge you to use cation when using the Bypass mode with the TFV18 Tank and it's coils because it hits very FAST and HARD, I would avoid using the Bypass mode when using the supplied tank and coils, you will burn the coils out very fast ( YOU'VE BEEN WARNED ).
MENU - ( WATTAGE - BYPASS - POWER LOCKED )
* ON/OFF - 5 Quick Presses Of The Firebar
* Enter The Menu - 3 Quick Presses Of The Firebar
* Once In The Menu Use The Adjustment Buttons To Move The Highlighted Box To Either Wattage Mode, Bypass Mode Or Power Locked Mode ( ENTIRE DEVICE LOCKED )
* Adjustment Button Lock/Unlock - Press And Hold Both Adjustment Buttons Simultaneously
* Change Theme Colors - Press And Hold The Firebar And Up Button Simultaneously
* Color Theme Colors Are - White, Blue, Green, Yellow, Violet and A Reddish Orange
* Clearing The Puff Counter - Press And Hold The Firebar And Down Button Simultaneously
DISPLAY SCREEN
I really like the display screen of the R Kiss 2 because it's large and bright with good sized fonts that my aging eyes have no trouble seeing. The colors are vivid and all the information you need is laid out very well. The layout is as follows from top to bottom and left to right. Below the display screen are the up and down adjustment buttons and below them is the type-c charge port that charges at 2amps.
* Battery Bar And Battery % Percentage
* Wattage/Volts/Bypass
* Ohms
* Volts
* Puff Counter
* Time Of Last Vape In Seconds
PROS
* Attractive

CONS

* Batteries Don't Deplete Evenly On Screen
FINAL IMPRESSIONS AFTER USING
First off I hope you listen to me and not use the Bypass mode with the TFV18 Mini Tank and it's coils, they will burn out fast because of the 8.2 volts being applied. As far as the coils go I am no stranger to them and think they perform very well with very good flavor and vapor, the 0.33 coil will fog a room up in no time with it's massive airflow. Airflow is very loud but smooth at any setting tried. Both of these coils crave power!
The TFV18 Mini Tank is a solid performing tank and the swing out push button opening top cap works very well, on some tanks with this type of opening or a sliding top cap the drip tip must be removed in order to fill it using a 100ml bottle but not with the TFV18 Mini, the top cap swings out far enough to fill using the larger juice bottles.
As far as the mod goes I really like it for the size, weight, bright vivid colors with fonts that are easily read. I'm a huge firebar lover and this firebar works great always firing for another plus of the device. Being able to fit a 30mm atomizer without overhang is another plus on the list. I noticed the batteries deplete unevenly on the screen but even out at the end of their cycle so no big deal.
I have enjoyed using and testing out the Smok R Kiss Kit and plan on using it even as this review is finished because I consider it a WINNER! I mentioned in the beginning of this review I would leave a coupon code for the purchase of this kit at Sourcemore and it's link. This code can be used for any purchase at Sourcemore.
The code is "ROBERT"
