I (don't) Love My Smok Nords

When I got my Smok Nords a few months ago I created a thread "I love my Smok Nords". So everything was fine until about 30 minutes ago when I started to smell a real bad melting smell while at work. When I went for a vape I took out my two Nords and one seemed very hot so I smelled them and sure enough something dangerous was happening to the batteries. I quickly ran outside and threw the two Nords into the street. Now I need to come across a new pod system. This is now two strikes, first my Alien, now the Nords but I won't give myself a chance to get three strikes, that's playing with fire literally.

Smok Infinix Not Pulling

Hello,
I own the SMOK Infinix for more than 3 months now. I change the cotton myself for the pod and started having issues with the device.

After 2 months it would fire a while after pulling. Fixed by cleaning the inside of the device and removing the paper cover on the sensor. Worked perfectly.

Now, few days ago, I noticed I had to pull harder for the device to activate.

And now, literally an hour ago it would stop pulling. Isolated the airflow for a tighter pull worked for couple of minutes, now it just stopped. After some blows from the charging port it would do the infinite firing bug and that's the only way I can get a hit. Please help.

P.s I did clean the inside of the device again as much as I could. It gets a really good connection, just won't fire.  

Broken Mod

So i got a smok gpriv deluxe edition about 3 months ago. Its worked perfectly but then i let it sit unused for around 1 month. Now when trying to charge the batteries nothing works. Its not showing any signs of life. Im currently charging one battery in a smok grip but its still on 0 percent after 20 minutes of charging. Is it a battery issue? Or a mod issue  

Charging My Smok Thallo

I'm not battery expert so I am not sure how everything works, but here are my concerns.

My Smok Thallo can charge at a 1.2A current but it is a USB-C, why include a USB-C if 5V/1.2A can charge as quickly with a Micro USB? I think.

So here is the question, can I charge my Smok Thallo with a 2.1A if I use the wire that came with the kit? It's hard finding a solid power bank with 5V/1A only. I cannot remove the battery, it has a built-in 3000mAH one.

Thanks!  

Best Pod System Opinions

Hey guys. So, I'm a current pod system smoker, and I've been using a smok nord as my actual pod system, but with so many new ones on the market, I'm looking forward to acquire a new one. I've seen many reviews and lists about new pod systems and am in doubt of which one to buy. So far, my picks are the Smok Nord 2, Lost Orion Plus or Smok RP80.
I like pods with loose airflow, to make big clouds and feel the nicsalt taste. I currently use a 0.6ohm mesh coil and do like it. Just feels like it run off too quick sometimes, I might use a wrong pg/vg proportion sometimes but always try to use as close to 50/50.
Let me know your experiences and what you think!
Thanks.

Looking For A New Vape

Hello!

I've started to vape more than a year ago with eGo AIO e-cigarete and now the battery has almost dead. What I mean with "dead" is that it is dead while at 50% charged and I feel like it will die in a couple of days or weeks. So now I'm looking for a new vape.

I searched on the internet what would be a good vape mod and found Eleaf. It seems a lot of people enjoy and are satisfied with this brand. I also looked into SMOK mods but looking at internet reviews, they say that it is not the best mod for long use.

So in my case, I've found to choose between...

1) Eleaf Istick Pico S 100W
2) Eleaf iStick Pico 75W

I also listed these since the shop I'm going to buy include these but not sure if these mods will be any good to be in the long run.

3) SMOK SPECIES 230W & TFV8 Baby V2 Starter Kit.
4) Smok R-Kiss 200W
5) Smok X-PRIV 225W
6) VooPoo Drag 2 177W
7) VooPoo Drag Mini 117W

The question is... from what of the all listed mods should I buy? Would be good if anyone shared their own experience with these listed products.

I don't need to puff big clouds and stuff. 30-50 W is good enough for me.  

Smok G-priv 2 Turning Off After Pressing Trigger Issue?

Hello I have had this smok g-priv 2 mod for ages now. Now for some reason when I press the trigger button while a tank is on the mod just shuts itself down. I have tried cleaning the 510 connector, tried using 3 different tanks, charging the batteries, etc still no luck. It started happening all of a sudden after I refilled the tank. I can click the trigger while no tank is in and no issues but if a tank in connected is shuts itself down. Any ideas?

Progress On Restoring Vapes!

Hello,
It's been a few years since I joined the vape community. For the whole time I bought only new vapes, as older ones were left behind. Getting rid of my old vapes and buying new ones.

But recently it all changed, since I decided I'll try restoring old vapes!
That's the thing, people scratch them, maintain poorly them, but they're still usable. Their prices drop dramatically with their looks. But they still work fine!

So I decided on restoring scratched, beat up vapes and giving them a whole new look!



So this is a greatly aged, one of the first versions of Smok Alien 220W from 2016! It originates from the UK, coming all the way to Baltic states. It looks all beat up, got it for a really good price!



Did a paint job on the line metal, brushing the buttons as well as sanding down the metal. Wanted to do a Storm Trooper replica, but the paint started sagging, and overall, was an awful paint.



Next one is a Joyetech eVic Mini, don't have a lot of pictures of it, but overall was a scratched, bruised vape. So I sanded it down, painted it and gave it a new look!



The third one in progress is another Smok Alien 220W



Hopefully will turn out just as imagined! Stay tuned!  

Is This Charging Adaptor Compatible With My "smok"

I've been charging my 18650 batteries on a Nitecore charger but having to unscrew my Smok XPRO m65 is a real pain so thought I may as well make use of the USB port and charge the battery while it's still in the mod.
But I've been hearing a few horror stories of other mods such as the clouper, apparently its not safe to charger using the USB port

I'd really appreciate it if anyone can help inform me if I'd be able to use my phone charging adaptor with my mod.

The input and output specs of my phone charger and mod input are in the attached pics.

Cheers everyone  

Smok Stick M17 Replacement?

I've been using Smok Stick M17 pen for years. They usually cost me $18 each. However, they have been discontinued.

I would get a pack of 5 coils (0.6) for $8-$12 and "HEAVY" vape and a coil would last me 7-10 days on average. I would buy 2 pens at a time and they would last several months before they would no longer charge anymore.

I'm down to one pen still working and two coils. I can still get coils but pretty sure the pen is going to fail soon.

Has anyone been in the same situation and know of a good replacement? My main concern is finding something with a similar coil cost and how long they last.
