Despite three years passing since the original R-Kiss release, the new R-Kiss 2 still impresses. If you’re a cloud chaser, the Smok R-Kiss range will be right up your street.
Now, let’s talk about the Smok R-Kiss 2 kit in Black – it’s a real looker when fully assembled! The tank boasted a matte finish that paired perfectly with the textured mod. While the textured design might not be entirely new, you might have seen something similar in mods like the Vaporesso Gen series.
The tank and mod were neatly separated, ensuring a tidy presentation. This packaging approach not only looked clean and sleek but also minimized material waste, which I really appreciate as it’s both efficient and eco-friendly.
However, this design isn’t just for show; it’s incredibly practical. So, hats off to Smok R-KISS 2 for its sleek and powerful upgrade to its predecessor. If you’re having a hard time how to choose the right vape, get Smok R-KISS 2 on your list.

There’s a battery safety card stressing the importance of using good batteries to avoid problems. Don’t forget the user manual, which gives you all the specs and details about both the mod and tank.

How to Prepare SMOK R-KISS 2 Kit
First off, pick the coil you’d like to use from your Smok R-Kiss2 kit.
Before you put it in, give the coil a little pre-soak by adding a few drops of your e-liquid to it. Then, screw the coil into the base of your Smok R-Kiss 2.
Now, it’s time to reassemble the tank. Simply screw the coil and base into place.
Next, fill up the tank with your favorite e-liquid. Wait patiently for about 2 to 3 minutes to let the cotton in the coil soak up that delicious liquid.
And there you have it, you’re all set to enjoy your vaping experience!
Tank Setup
- Unscrew the tank from the mod.
- Unscrew the old coil from the base of the tank.
- Replace it with a new coil by screwing it into the base.
- Reassemble the tank by screwing the two parts together, ensuring they are snug but not overly tightened.
Filling the Tank
- Open the tank’s top fill lid by following the directional arrow on the lid.
- Insert the nozzle of your e-liquid bottle into the filling port.
- Squeeze the bottle to fill the tank with e-liquid. Use high VG e-liquid.
- Close the lid by rotating it in the direction indicated until it clicks into place.
Coil Maintenance
Changing Coils
- Unscrew the tank from the mod.
- Unscrew the old coil from the base of the tank.
- Replace it with a new coil by screwing it into the base.
- Reassemble the tank by screwing the two parts together, ensuring they are snug but not overly tightened.
How to Install the Coil and Prim
- Before using a new coil, it’s essential to prime it to prevent dry hits:
- With the device turned off, take a few draws (inhales) from the drip tip without pressing the fire button. This helps draw e-liquid into the coil.
- Allow the device to sit for approximately 10 minutes to ensure the coil is fully saturated with e-liquid.
When you put in a new coil, make sure it’s threaded correctly to prevent leaks.
Insert the coil into the base of the tank and twist it until it clicks into place.
Prime the coil by adding a few drops of e-liquid directly onto the cotton and the coil’s tip.
Fill the tank, ensuring the e-liquid doesn’t go below the cotton openings for proper saturation and to prevent dry hits.
Adjusting Airflow
The tank has adjustable airflow. Turn the airflow control ring on the base of the tank clockwise to open it for more airflow or counterclockwise to reduce airflow for a tighter draw.
Cleaning the Tank
- Regularly clean the tank to ensure a clean and flavorful vaping experience.
- Disassemble the tank, including removing the coil.
- Rinse all tank components (except the coil) under warm running water.
- Allow the components to air dry thoroughly before reassembling.
The TFV18 Mini tank is a flavor and vapor beast. It consistently delivers fantastic flavor, and the generous 6.5ml e-liquid capacity ensures that I don’t have to refill too often during extended vaping sessions. The included coils, a single mesh and a dual mesh, let me fine-tune my vaping style to perfection.
