Well, what do you think of the Vaporesso Tarot nano or the Vaporesso Swag?

I’ll put a thumbs up for Vaporesso. I have 4 Vaporessso mods but not the ones you mentioned. I have 3 Revenger X’s and 1 mini. They are built solid, I’ve only seen one that had problems with them on all the forums I lurk and they perform awesome imo. I keep buying more of them because I want to make I’ll always have one lol!

Good luck with whatever you choose.

I can't remember which Priv it was, but a friend of mine bought one and it seems to be a pretty solid mod. T, Q, X Priv... I dunno. But whatever demons possessed Smok's QC program may have been exorcised if this thing holds up.

All it has to do is last a month to beat my experience with the Al85. I like my Beast tanks but I'm more restful with mods not made by Smok, even if that whatever Priv turns out to be a winner.

By the way @Asbestos4004 ... Broke Dick is owned by a guy whose real name is Richard Broke. They make decent juice, cheap. 15th, Payday and Dollar Menu are all outstanding. His cussing makes this sapper blush when he's "live" on Facebook.

My wife is been using an al85 for going on 11 months now. She's dropped it a few times but it keeps working. We use Smok mostly because the BM is around the corner that carries the coils and parts. But mostly their tanks. We have mods made by wismec sigelei smok. I don't have any complaints with any of them.
Smok seems to be a good product in my opinion. GO SMOK!:pervy::pervy::thumbs:
It's the bestest.

Smok just released a 3 battery t priv. I saw one today. Even tho i like smok products, i just have to ask why a 3 battery? I have a t priv, with 2 batteries, it will go to 220watts, and i only use 150w, max. The new one only goes on to 300w i think. This one time i think smok went overkill on an already good thing. To the OP, if you want my opinion, get a t priv or if you dont want the fancy, shinyitis inspired LED lights, an alien is fine too, and a tfv12 king or prince to top it with. I have taken over 30000 trouble free puffs off my t priv with a variety of tanks and rda's since i got it in september 2017.

I won a vaporesso Tarot nano and I like it a fair bit. Enough to further explore vaporesso's options, let me put it that way. It's a nice "tiny vape" and is well made, and vapes nicely and etc.

Glad I saw this about Vaperesso. I bought a orange, black & white Target Pro about a year ago due to its appearance lol. I have two major issues with... 1) Although I tried several brands I couldn’t find a c-cell coil that didn’t burn very easily and very quickly no mater what I did & 2) It became loose at the top part, where the firing button is, and the bottom, the piece with finger grooves. I assumed this was all Vaperesso products and haven’t given them another chance. I’m ridiculously .... taking care of my mods and such to keep them in good shape. Maybe it was just one bad one and it’s not the product. I like the way Vaperesso looks though. So, glad to hear they’re good products and I didn’t give them a fair chance!

I think you meant the screen goes to 220 Watts. The mod certainly doesn't.

Im assuming that you have hooked a multimeter to your t priv and checked the output. Maybe your t priv doesnt put out 220w. Until i can dig out my multimeter and check the output on my t priv, ill also assume the electonics in mine are accurate.

It's not the electronics, but the lack of batteries capable of outputting that kind of power for more than 10 minutes. The electronics may well be accurate but that doesn't really matter if there aren't batteries to "support" that wattage in any kind of sustainable, long term way.

I think I’m going to buy a smok product so please can you tell me which one o f these you think is te best
Al85
Alien 220
Procolor
The al85 costs $85, the Alien $110 and the Procolor $115. Is any of them good enough to pay for it. Which one do you think is the best?
My Smok Experiences:
My local B&M really stands behind Smok. New to vaping 18 months ago I didn’t know where to start. So I welcomed their advice! They started me with a Smok Osub 40w kit which came with a Sub-Ohm Helmet tank. It was a great “starter" for me and I had zero problems. Within a few months I wanted more from my setup. My next purchase was the Alien 220 kit. The mod was great! I never had one problem with the way the mod worked and the baby beast tank was fine I just had to fill it too frequently. A few months later I dropped it and the smallest piece of plastic possible chipped off the battery door. It hasn’t closed properly since. I’ve found since this is a common issue with Alien 220’s. I got several other mods after this. All the while I used my Alien 220 as a back up using a rubber bracelet, long ways, around the mod to hold the battery door closed. A few months ago I found online a case for it, with matching ring, which helps hold the door closed. Think it’s called Mod Case by Jojo. It works pretty well and it’s almost like having a new vape. I now use it more than any of my others. I’ve bought a couple handfuls of vapes and only have 3 left, Alien 220 being one of. The OSub Helmet got stolen. Of the 3, even with the broken battery door, the alien is in the best shape and it’s the oldest. It hits better and stronger than my other two. Might not look the best but functionality wise. I guess I’m lucky I didn’t get bad Smok products because apparently a lot of people do. Also, be prepared to pay too much purchasing from B&M. I don’t even want to talk about how much I paid for my OSub Helmet or Alien! I’ve since learned better and now shop online almost exclusively. Hope this helps. Best of!

I don't doubt their board can manage 220w but as of now, there aren't batteries to produce it.

I know a lot of us (myself occasionally included) like to rib SMOK's failure rate, but the truth is the odds of getting a good one have always been in the buyers favor. Even 4 years ago when they appear to have had as high as a 33% failure rate, the odds of getting a good one were in the buyer's favor. Their failure rate over the yeas does seem to have improved possibly to as low as 20% according to some very NOT scientific polls of B&M stores conducted by an ECF member. The reason people rib SMOK so much is because while the odds of getting a good one are definitely in your favor, they just are not as high as getting a good one with many other brands. Sometimes a person can be unlucky and get a bad one from even the top companies. Even the (and here comes the gasoline and match) mighty Provari occasionally had issues, but they did also have a hellava warranty.

I have 2 Smok sticks, $30. each and 1 ProColor paid $56. Started out vaping in December, both sticks had bad coils that the local vendor changed out for free. The ProColor has been running with no problems so far. Given that I used to spend $200 a month on smokes I'm already ahead as far as the money in it. That may be due to the fact that I never go above 70ish watts on the procolor and the sticks top out at 45 watts. All 3 give great flavor for this ex-smoker.

Well, you can get 30A batteries for it. And depending on the board you could find a resistance that will allow it to hit 220W for a few seconds. So not a total lie. Sort of like a car ad with the little print on the bottom "professional driver on closed road. Do not drive like this yourself "
