A Closer Look at SMOK Stick X8 Design

The first eye-catching thing in this device is the LED indicator that surrounds the button. It lights up every time you take a puff, and it also lets you know when the battery is about to die. Once the battery goes below 3.3 V, the indicator starts flashing like a tiny stroboscope so you know it’s time to recharge.

The inner chipset is equipped with various safety features, including short-circuit and low-voltage protection, so vaping is going to be safe.

The mod has 24.5 mm in diameter, and frankly, you won’t call it a portable device since it’s a pretty heavy one. At the same time, it has a user-friendly design not overloaded by confusing details.

This means that you actually carry it with you in a bag without worrying that you’ll accidentally press some button. Although, the paint might get scratched on this one, so if you want to preserve an untouched factory look, try to keep it indoors.

SMOK X8 on the Inside

As we’ve already mentioned, this mod is very user-friendly, meaning that you won’t have to set up much. It’s a plug-and-play device in a way, which can be a significant advantage for vaping newbies. The TFV8 Baby tank in X8 shares most benefits with the rest of available SMOK tanks, including a top fill and a swivel top cap.

The two airflow vents at the top are designed to prevent any leaking, which is a frequent occurrence with bottom airflow vents. You can also additionally purchase a Pyrex glass tube if you want to increase the e-juice capacity (+2 extra ml never hurt anybody).

SMOK Stick X8: Vaping Experience

Alas, the moth-to-lung hitters won’t get what they need with this device because neither V8 nor the X8 allows for a direct-lung experience. But don’t be discouraged just yet. The two SMOK X8 coils in the kit will definitely show exceptional performance in combination with the tank and mod.

Although there is no mouth-to-lung coil in the SMOK Stick X8 kit, the airflow is restricted, which is enough to imitate a mouth-to-lung hit.
