    Hello folks and welcome back to today's review of the X-Priv Plus Kit from smok. I have to tell that I was thrilled to receive a full size mod and tank combo for a change of pace from the many pod kits. Even though the X-Priv Plus is a full size mod it's rather compact in size, not a lot but enough to really appreciate the size difference. The TF-D Subtank in the kit has a 5.5ml capacity and uses coils from the D-Series.

    The X-Priv Plus runs on replaceable dual 18650 batteries and has no physical buttons because it's a touch screen for adjustments with a firebar, I really like firebars and the firebar on the X-Priv fires any place you press it beit top,middle or bottom. This ia a wattage only device with a maximum power output of 225 watts plus this device has very noticeable haptic feedback in sound and feel. You get 3 different display screen themes to choose from as well, there's a lot to get to so let's get started.

    FIRST IMPRESSIONS


    Packaging was nothing special but it was presented very well, sliding out the inner container shows the device and tank along with a spare bubble glass tube. Below the tray is where all to components for this kit lay.

    I was very happy with the Black Shell color's appearance that was sent to me and it's fairly lightweight prior to installing the batteries.

    What I really like is Smok's attention to detail of putting a protective sticker on the front display screen and a cheat sheet for button combinations on the non firing side of the device, I don't like the QR code sticker on the firebar because of the residue it left behind after it was removed.

    I like the ease of a sliding top cap for quick refills that free up 1 of your hands but if your using 100ml bottles you will need to remove the drip tip in order to fill the tank because the drip tip is in the way, however smaller bottles work just fine as my 60ml bottle shows.

    The D-Coil double mesh coils proved to be very tasty and produce great flavor, there regular push in coils with no tab or tabs to line up. both the bottom base cap and airflow control have knurling making easier to get a hold of. Airflow has 2 slotted channels with hard stops preventing a constant spin of the airflow control.

    The centered 510 connection is spring loaded and raised just enough as not to scratch the top of the device when the tank is screwed on, the throw of the 510 pin is rather stiff.

    As I mentioned earlier the design on the back battery cover really appeals to me and has zero movement of play in it when the magnets are attached to the device.

    Smok did what other manufacturers should do on removable battery devices, they labeled polarity in white very boldly on the battery sled ( WELL DONE ).

    A battery ribbon helps to quickly remove depleted batteries, that's a nice bonus in my opinion. A small grove at the bottom of the battery cover helps to remove the cover.

    I will tell you that the display screen is bright, colorful and easy to read with large fonts and numbers, navigating the menu is also very easy to do and it's one of the best I've seen. I will leave some photos of the different screen shots from the X-Prive plus below.

    One that I wish was A little bit shorter in duration is the animation after the firebar is pressed, it's no big deal more of a wish than a con but I wanted to let you know. The last picture is the animation. This device fits and feels great in the hand and it's one that I'll be using in my personal rotation.

    FINAL IMPRESSIONS


    I will tell you right of the bat that I really love the device as well as the tank and coils. The appearance is one thing but appearance isn't performance. Performance wise the tank hasn't leaked mostly because of top air but each vape is smooth and very flavorful, it is a bit on the loud side but not by much. MY only con is removing the drip tip when filling with 100ml bottles.

    The device fires instantly with no delay and as mentioned earlier it will fir pressing the firebar in any location. The display is large with bright colors and easy to read numbers as well font size. T battery cover is solid having zero movement to it, moving covers drive a bit nuts so it's nice it stays in place.

    Both coils proved very flavorful but I lean to 0.15Ω coil over the 0.23Ω, both provide plenty of warm to the vape for me. I have zero cons for the X-Prive Plus device and recommend this kit 100%.

    I would like to thank Healthcabin for providing the X-Priv Plus Kit for review and I would also like to thank all of you that read my reviews as well. I f you would like to purchase the X-Priv Plus kit from Healthcabin a link has been provided to you below.



    THANK YOU
