Pod-systems and submods in the last couple of years have become mandatory devices in the arsenal of every vaper, and many of them are used as a device for going out, when you do not want to bring a fairly massive and heavy box-mod. But at the same time during this time has already formed a list of requirements for such devices good taste, autonomy, compact size and a wide range of vaporizers. Among the large number of vape manufacturers Smok company is rightly considered one of the leaders in the production of pod-mods that best meet the requirements of vapers, as in their range you can find devices that meet the above criteria. Deciding to add to the range of universal submods, the company presented SMOK G-PRIV PRO POD kit, which advantages will be appreciated by many users.
General Notes
SMOK G-PRIV PRO POD kit medium sized submod with replaceable battery 18650, equipped with IQ-S chipset and counted for replaceable vaporizers LP2 or RPM2. The new device looks a little bit clumsy, but it does not prevent him to have a good ergonomics. Thanks to the interchangeable battery and the IQ-S chipset the vaper will get an autonomous device that can work in vari-watt mode with a maximum power of 80 watts. Initially pod-mod is completed with cartridge for LP2 series vaporizers, but if you want you can buy an additional cartridge for RPM2. You can buy SMOK G-PRIV PRO POD kit in six colors: red, silver, blue, gunmetal, black and rainbow.

Almost all devices from Smok are bundled the same way, and the new submod is no exception:

LP2 Meshed 0.23ohm DL Coil;
LP2 Meshed 0.4ohm Coil;

G-PRIV PRO POD Device Battery Pack
The company Smok can rightly be called one of the most productive, as they present almost every week one, two, and sometimes three new products. Such an approach is quite understandable in the company’s decision to conquer the majority of the vape market. Recently, the company has focused its attention on the production of sub-mods, and successfully. In order vapers do not forget about it Smok presented two devices simultaneously SMOK G-PRIV PRO POD kit and SMOK G-PRIV POD kit (the difference in devices only in size and the use of built-in / removable battery).
The design of SMOK G-PRIV PRO POD kit is not quite original, because similar slightly angular outlines are used by other manufacturers, but the device sits very comfortably in your hand due to beveled corners and relatively small size. If we talk about the size, they are 123.5 * 34 * 27 mm, so the device is hard to call quite small, but if we consider the fact that it is made of zinc alloy pod-mod with plastic overlays and eco leather and weighs 115 grams, the shorts it particularly can not carry, but in a pocket of jeans or jacket it will not interfere.
The maximum power of SMOK G-PRIV PRO POD kit is 80 Watts, and it is provided by a traditional 18650 battery, which is installed under the flip cover.
If necessary, you can charge the battery with 1.4A by using the USB Type-C connector located near the display.
For the SMOK G-PRIV PRO POD kit is responsible chip IQ-S, which not only provides a complete set of protection, but also operates in Varivatt mode with a power range of 5-80 watts. The minimum resistance supported by the board is 0,15 ohm, so the vaper has quite a wide range of options regarding the choice of coil. The device is equipped with standard for Smok devices color display, on which you can find a standard set of information about the operation of the device. An interesting solution is the fact that the button is large and is located along the entire side surface of the device, so it works softly and without effort.
G-PRIV POD Empty LP2 Pod
For the SMOK G-PRIV PRO POD kit and SMOK G-PRIV POD kit a new cartridge was designed to use new vaporizers with three earings that minimize leakage. If you wish you can buy an additional cartridge to use the familiar vaporizers of the RPM2 series.
The new LP2 series vaporizers are a bit different from the previously released RPM and RPM2, but they can still deliver good flavor and full-bodied vapor. There are two vaporizers included, the LP2 Meshed 0.23ohm DL Coil and the LP2 Meshed 0.4ohm Coil, both on mesh, so the flavor delivery will be on par.
To adjust the airflow in the device there is a small slider, by moving which you can set the type of puff MTL, RDL or DL.
The filling in the device is very convenient in order to fill the cartridge you just need to slide the lid straight and pour 5.5 ml of liquid in a rather large hole.
Conclusions and impressions
SMOK G-PRIV PRO POD kit is quite an interesting and practical device that can replace both POD system and a full-fledged box mod. The vaper can not only replace the battery at any time, but also choose the best option of vaporizer and blowing depending on his preferences.
