DESIGN
BUILD QUALITY
On first look the mag kit is very intriguing. I am reviewing a metallic red device
but it also comes in a variety other cool colours. The whole concept of the device
is cool with great in-hand comfort due to its curves and trigger-like fire button.
The device has a 510 adapter, two function buttons below a large HD screen,
a trigger fire button and a mysterious silver button too. Now this is where it gets
unbelievably fun because when the silver button is pressed the mod releases a
magazine clip like a real gun. The mag clip is a well built plastic battery holder
that takes two 18650 batteries. I am really impressed with the coolness of
this kit.
The screen functionality works on a three press basis which gets you into the
menu system, and it is five presses for power lock. In the menu you press once
to cycle through to specific settings or press and hold to enter individual settings
sub menu. The first menu is a simple build up of output modes universal to both
wattage modes and temperature modes with material specifics. Optional are
puff settings and other customisable options for the screen. The off function is
also found in the on screen menu.
Smok have really hit the nail on the head with the screen layout which is clean
and simple but which provides all the vital information that any user would need.
One problem with the kit is, although it is comfortable in the hand, it isn’t very
ergonomic as the screen is on the right face of the device. This means if you are
right handed you are going to have the screen in your palm. I feel if the screen
was on the roof of the mod like the T-PRIV it would be more efficient.
USABLILITY
Not only does the power bank look cool, the tank included is the new TFV12
prince tank that is very sought after. See VM14 for the extended review on
this tank.

PRINCE
TANK
When both the Prince tank and the Mag mod are paired the outcome is
phenomenal. The output of the mod is 225 max wattage, so there is plenty to
play with. The coils provided with the Prince tank keep you limited to around
120w. With the T10 coil 100w is enough power for a full flavour, huge cloud
experience. It is just a perfect match. Hard mode in the VW settings really gives
instant flavour but this comes
