Review of SMOK Alike Kit
The number of companies producing vape devices is constantly growing, and so is the number of vape devices themselves. New companies are really stepping on the heels of manufacturers who have been doing it for years. Therefore, the mastodontampris with enviable regularity to release something more interesting and original. One of the brightest examples of this is the company SMOK, which with enviable regularity presents new devices, and in a variety of formats, ranging from vaporizers to box mods and tanks. Not so long ago was presented Fetch Pro, which immediately came to the taste of many vapers, and its success encouraged the company’s developers to release a new device of the same class SMOK Alike Kit. This sub-mod will please not only with stylish design, original design, performance, but also with shockproof sealed case.
General Information
SMOK Alike Kit is a compact sub-mod equipped with a powerful battery, efficient chipset, high-capacity tank and is designed to use RPM series vaporizers. The device is made in a fairly traditional form factor, but decorated in an original way with leather overlays. A powerful chipset and a small display will help the vaper to choose the optimal vaping mode. e-liquids in new zealand The device traditionally works on RPM series vaporizers, among which you can find the option that best suits the vaper’s vaping style, and you can use a serviced base for independent choice of coil. You can buy SMOK Alike Kit in five colors green, gold, red, blue and gun metal.
Completion
The company SMOK traditionally kits quite decently and standard, so nothing new or supernatural it did not put in the box, in which the vaper will find:
Alike Pod Device battery pack;
A removable Alike Empty Pod cartridge;
RPM Mesh Coil 0.4ohm Vaporizer;
RPM DC MTL Coil 0.8ohm;
USB cable for charging;
User’s Manual.
Alike Pod Device battery pack
Not so long ago release of Fetch and Fetch Pro sub-mods and their success among vapers obviously pushed SMOK developers to continue this segment. But there is no sense to release Fetch Pro 2 or Fetch Pro Ultra (although, what the hell is not kidding, maybe such devices will appear), but to release on their basis an independent device SMOK Alike Kit is quite a wise decision.
SMOK Alike Kit is a rather compact sub-mod, which not only has good ergonomics, but also small overall dimensions. The manufacturer claims that the device is placed in a case protected from moisture and shocks, so if you drop it on the floor or get caught in the rain, the vaper can not be afraid that the sub-mod will not work (but test it during swimming or hit with a hammer is still not worth it).
Special attention should be paid to the design of the device, its side panels are made under the leather with a characteristic texture, thanks to which SMOK Alike Kit looks very decent and expensive.
The device is powered by a built-in battery with a capacity of 1600 mAh, which is a very good figure for a device of this size and format. The battery is charged using the micro-USB connector, located on the bottom end of the device and covered with a silicone plug (the device is still waterproof), with a current of 1.1A.
SMOK Alike Kit is equipped with a fairly simple board, allowing you to use it at a power of 1-40 watts, which is quite enough for many vapers. For ease of use, the sub-mod is equipped with a small color display, on which you can find a standard set of information power, battery charge level, puff time, coil resistance, voltage. If desired, you can change the color scheme of the display.
Alike Pod cartridge
The cartridge in SMOK Alike Kit is made in the best traditions of the company as simple and practical as possible. It is held in the battery pack by two magnets. A significant advantage of the cartridge is that it uses a classic 510th drip tip, which can be easily replaced if desired.
It is worth paying tribute to Smok company, which adapts all recently released devices to RPM series vaporizers. SMOK Alike Kit is not an exception in the kit there are two vaporizers RPM Mesh Coil and RPM DC MTL Coil, and if you want you can install any of this series and even RBA-base. But when choosing a vaporizer it is worth remembering the maximum power of the device 40 watts, otherwise the device will simply not work correctly.
Refilling the cartridge will not cause special questions, it is removed from the battery box, a small silicone plug is opened and 5.5 ml of liquid is poured in (quite a good volume for such a device).
Conclusions and impressions
The fact that SMOK decided to continue the line of sub-mods is good, and the Alike Kit is proof of that, but the fact that it is very much like the Fetch Pro with a slightly modified body is not the biggest plus. Due to the versatility of vaporizers, original design, high-capacity battery and large tank, the device will appeal to many vapers who want to get a compact and self-contained device.
