Smok Alien 220W Kit Review
The Smok Alien 220W Premium MOD Kit 220W TC is it! I must say, this company never fails to deliver amazing vape products.
It could be suitable for any occasion, thanks to its sleek and fantastic appearance (especially its eye-catching strip and vibrant screen). There are several colors to choose for the strip, including red, gold, or black.
What’s interesting about this mod is instead of the usual firing button, this features a firing bar that runs down on the side. This makes it easier and more convenient for those users with bigger hands. The trigger firing has a short throw but is a bit stiff so it requires more pressure.
The Alien mod shell’s contour curve is smooth and displays the USB port. It is oblong and cylindrical in shape, with a flat top and a hinged battery door found at the bottom of the mod. This is currently a trend among Chinese mod makers.
It also features a huge OLED screen with rhomboid-shaped adjustment buttons that gives you easy access to vital vaping information including the battery life, coil resistance, puff counter, and wattage. However, its layout, font and font size, and graphic design make the display look a little unorganized.
Performance-wise, the Smok Alien’s firing is instantaneous in all modes and adjustable for soft, hard, or standard initial ramp-up. Temp control also works well and has TCR adjustability for all three wire types; nickel, titanium, and stainless steel.
The mod, which is powered by two 18650 batteries, and can vape in variable wattage (VW) mode or temperature control mode. The temperature control mode is best to enhance the consistency and taste in every puff, while the VW mode is recommended for cloud chasing.
The Smok Alien mod is equipped with the TFV8 Baby Beast tank, a mini version of the TFV8 subohm tank that was hailed as the best tank in 2016. It still bears the same specifics except for the e-liquid capacity (as the Baby Beast is one-third smaller than the TFV8) and the Baby Beast uses smaller coils.
The top-filling TFV8 Baby Tank is made of stainless steel with Pyrex glass tank. It is 22 mm in diameter and 53 mm length, with a weight of just about 47 grams. The 510 threaded tank can hold up to 3mL of e-juice.
The TFV8 Baby Beast coils come in five different options including the Octuple coil heads. The dual coil, quad coil, and six coil atomizers are also available. An RBA head and Smok RBA heads are also perfect to build on. You can however use other tanks for the Smok Alien, but the Baby Beast is highly recommended. It comes in black and silver colors too.
The 220-watt Smok Alien can create several forms of vaping and all of the temperature control options. Its temperature ranges from 200oF to 600 oF or 100oC to 315 oC for the metric types. It could go from 1 watt to 220 watts when in power mode. It could also fire atomizers between 0.1 ohm and 3.0 ohms in power mode and 0.06 ohms to 2.0 ohms in temperature control vaping mode.
The size of the Smok Alien (85 mm tall by 44 mm wide by 28.4 mm thick) makes it handy to be brought anywhere. The user-friendly mod is made of zinc alloy with spray painting.
The Smok Alien bears resemblance in size, shape, and power output with the Sigelei 213 and the P4U iPV 6/6X modes. But they are different in terms of cosmetic designs, display screen, menu navigation, and regulating chips.
Another interesting thing about the Smok Alien is that it has an upgradeable software, which is very practical as it will allow people to still get access to innovation and improvements to vaping technology.
