AND DOESN’T SHE LOOK WONDERFUL. This little guy is a super reactive touch-screen device with all the power you need for an excellent vaping experience (a whopping 220w) as well as a super cool design and easy interface. The G-PRIV features a huge 2.4 inch OLED touch screen on the main face of the mod and a large fire bar on the side similar to alternate Smok models such as the popular Alien. There is another small button which is placed above the fire bar, this has a capability of turning the OLED off or locking the touch screen which is a massive plus to this design. Very cool and very needed with a touch device. The model I’m reviewing today has a metallic orange and black finish with a matching TFV8 Big Baby (also included). If that isn’t cool enough the device has a brilliant carbon fibre (more upgrades available) design battery cover that fits flush with the design, has no rattling and an excellent hold! The interface of the design has a simple graphic layout and is very responsive. This must be the best touch screen mod I have used to date as it has a spacious layout and responds immediately. It is similar to your smart phone to put it into perspective. The main screen has a clean identity featuring the time, live battery display, wattage, puff timer and counter, amps, volts and resistance. BUILD QUALITY USABLILITY The menu on this device again is clean and features VW, TC, max puffs and of course settings which progress into in-depth sub menus. The good thing with these menus is they all have an activation tab so at any point you can play and not make the changes live until you are ready, pretty awesome! The menu settings can get a bit small which is a slight nag if your fingers are big but with a bit of focus its not a problem. TFV8 BIG BABY 138 ISSUE 12 VAPOUROUND MAGAZINE The variable wattage modes have soft, normal, hard and max outputs and all work pretty well with clear differences. TCR mode has some pre set up features such as pre heat settings making vaping more controllable from the get-go. The settings menu features your usual time and date, model details and a factory reset which is good to clear updates and unwanted pre settings. Overall the device is a solid build. The G-PRIV really gives an unmatchable, glitch free experience. Paired with the supplied Big Baby this wonderful kit produces lovely thick vape clouds crammed full of flavour, mmm tasty. If you have ever had a bad experience with a touch screen the G-PRIV will change your mind, it’s excellent.
