Seek Very Simple Replacement Model For Smok Priv V8, Ideas?

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?

Here is a video:
 

I can’t seem to find the ohm settings on my smok mod, I tried calling the customer service number in Shenzhen and I think their closed for the weekend. Anyone use this mod or any advice? Thanks  

HI
Those 2 mods crapped out on me, most likely broken connection of some kind, as both can not read attached tank.
Planning to pull apart and do my best to find the issue, but I realized that SMOK is uses HEX type screws and I need those screwdrivers.
I wonder if someone here knows something about those sizes, as they are very small - I tried my professional Dewalt bits, but they are too big, so I need tiny ones.

Any ideas appreciated.  

Hello i need help. I have my vape in the backpack and this happend.  

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.  

I just got it today, and the batteries wouldn’t fit but I finally pushed them in. I don’t know too much about voltage but it says R on the left side, and u on the right side on the main screen. It’s at 0.27 voltage where it says R, and nothing for U. Is there something wrong with the voltage or the battery?  

I put a battery in upside down, and it literally melted the battery inside of my Priv. I got the battery out, but a small part of the inner plating melted down, blocking entry to batteries. Any way to remove the melted inner plating or anything? Pic provided  

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.  

So while home sick (yes I was actually sick) today, several reviews sold me on the SMOK TCT pro as THE tank for my IPv4. I was looking for a high watt tank that could also make use of temp control. Didn't want another Atlantis and the Kanger subtank is good but it's just not quite enough for me in temp control mode. Anyone have any experience with the SMOK TCT or VCT pro tanks? Please share!  

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!
