Smok Mag V8 Vape Kit

Coil Compatibility and Performance

The TFV-Mini V2 tank works exclusively with Smok's Mini V2 coil series. It is not compatible with older Smok Baby coils, TFV8 coils, or any third-party coils. Always check packaging for "Mini V2" labelling.

Two coils are included in the kit:

Mini V2 S1 Mesh 0.15Ω Coil

• Wattage range: 40W – 80W

• Best performance: 60W – 70W

• Experience: Mesh coils provide rapid, even heating across a large surface area. The result is exceptionally clean flavour separation, dense vapour, and a crisp, warm-but-not-hot draw. This is the coil for flavour chasers.

• Best e-liquid pairing: Fruity, candy, and beverage flavours (where clarity matters most).

Mini V2 S2 Quad 0.15Ω Coil

• Wattage range: 30W – 70W

• Best performance: 45W – 60W

• Experience: Four parallel coils produce a noticeably warmer, "wetter" vapour with a fuller mouthfeel than mesh. While flavour separation is slightly less precise, the sensation is more substantial and satisfying for dessert or tobacco profiles.

• Best e-liquid pairing: Desserts, custards, creams, and tobacco blends (where warmth and body matter more than pinpoint clarity).

Both coils are designed exclusively for direct-to-lung (DTL) vaping. Mouth-to-lung (MTL) users will find the airflow too open, even when fully closed.

Complete Specifications

Available Colours at Select Vape

The Smok Mag V8 Kit is available in four striking finishes, each designed to appeal to different customer tastes. Select Vape stocks all variants:

Red Black

A bold, racing-inspired combination of vibrant red panels and dark black accents. The contrast is aggressive, energetic, and impossible to ignore. Perfect for vapers who want their device to make a statement.

Rainbow Black

An iridescent, colour-shifting finish over a deep black base. As light catches the surface, the device transitions through purple, green, blue, and gold tones. This is the top choice for vapers seeking maximum visual flair and uniqueness.

Red

A polished, reflective crimson finish that sits somewhere between metallic and gloss. Cleaner than the Red Black variant, this version offers a sleek, luxurious appearance that still commands attention without the two-tone contrast.

Silver

A timeless, professional metallic finish with a mirror-like polish. The Silver variant exudes understated elegance and pairs perfectly with any tank or drip tip. Fingerprints show more readily, but the sophisticated look appeals to minimalist and professional vapers.

How to Use the Smok Mag V8 Vape Kit (Expanded Guide)

Setting up your Smok Mag V8 correctly is essential for optimal flavour, vapour production, coil longevity, and safety. Follow these detailed steps:

Step 1: Battery Installation

• Open the bottom battery compartment by sliding the locking latch in the direction of the arrow.

• Insert a compatible 21700 or 20700 battery with the positive terminal (+) facing upward toward the 510 connection plate.

• If using an 18650 battery, first place it inside the included plastic adapter (ensure the adapter's orientation matches the battery's polarity markings). Then insert the sleeved battery as one unit.

• Close the battery door firmly until you hear a distinct click. A loose door will cause power interruptions or the device to shut off unexpectedly.

Step 2: Coil Priming (The Most Important Step)

• Remove your chosen Mini V2 coil from its packaging.

• Apply 3–5 drops of e-liquid directly onto each exposed cotton wicking port on the sides of the coil.

• Add 2 drops down the centre of the coil (onto the mesh or wire surface).

• Screw the primed coil into the base of the TFV-Mini V2 Tank. Hand-tighten firmly, but never use tools—over-tightening can deform O-rings and cause leaks.

Step 3: Filling the Tank

• Locate the sliding top cap. Push it sideways (away from the drip tip) until the fill port is fully exposed.

• Slowly fill with your preferred e-liquid, keeping the centre chimney clear. Leave a small air gap—do not fill to the absolute brim.

• Slide the top cap back into place until it clicks shut securely.

Step 4: The Priming Wait (Most Overlooked Step)

• Attach the filled tank onto the Smok Mag V8 mod.

• Wait 5–10 minutes before firing the device. This allows the cotton to become fully saturated. Failure to wait will burn the coil instantly, ruining it.

• For high-VG e-liquids (70% VG or above), extend the wait to 15 minutes.

Step 5: Turning On and Adjusting Wattage

• Press the fire button five times rapidly to switch the device on.

• Use the adjustment buttons (+ and -) to increase or decrease wattage.

• For the Mini V2 S1 Mesh Coil: Start at 40W. Take a few puffs. Increase by 5W increments until you reach your preferred balance of flavour and warmth (do not exceed 70W).

• For the Mini V2 S2 Quad Coil: Start at 30W and gradually increase to between 45–60W.

• Always stay within the recommended wattage range printed on the coil. Exceeding the maximum wattage will burn the cotton within seconds.

Step 6: Adjusting Airflow

• Rotate the airflow control ring located at the base of the tank while the tank is attached to the mod.

• Fully open: Coolest vapour, largest clouds, loosest draw.

• Half open: Balanced temperature, good cloud volume, moderately restricted draw.

• Near closed: Warmest vapour, most concentrated flavour, noticeably tighter draw (though still DTL, not MTL).

Step 7: Vaping Technique

• Press and hold the trigger-style fire button.

• Inhale directly into your lungs (direct-to-lung) rather than pulling vapour into your mouth first.

• Release the fire button approximately half a second before finishing your inhale to clear residual vapour from the chamber. This prevents condensation build-up and minor leaking over time.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting

Daily / Weekly Care

• Daily: Wipe the mouthpiece and top cap area with a dry cloth.

• Weekly: Remove the tank and clean the 510 connection on both the mod and tank using a dry cotton swab. Rinse the tank in warm water (remove the coil first) and let it air dry completely before reassembly.

Coil Replacement Schedule

Replace your coil every 1–2 weeks depending on:

• E-liquid sweetness: Sweetener-heavy juices caramelise on coils faster.

• Usage frequency: Heavy all-day vapers will need replacement sooner.

• Wattage habits: Running near the maximum rating accelerates coil wear.

Signs you need a new coil: Muted flavour, reduced vapour production, a "gurgling" sound, or a persistent burnt taste even after cleaning.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What batteries can I use with the Smok Mag V8?

The device supports 21700, 20700, and 18650 batteries. An 18650 adapter is included in the box. Batteries are not included and must be purchased separately.

Is this a sub-ohm vape kit?

Yes. The Mag V8 is designed exclusively for sub-ohm, direct-to-lung (DTL) vaping. Both included coils are 0.15Ω.

Which coil gives the best flavour?

The Mini V2 S1 Mesh Coil is widely considered the flavour champion. Its mesh heating element provides superior surface area and even heating, resulting in cleaner, more distinct flavour notes.

Can beginners use this kit?

Yes, with proper guidance. Beginners who have already experienced DTL vaping (or are willing to learn) will find the Mag V8 straightforward. However, users coming directly from mouth-to-lung pod systems may initially find the airflow too open. We recommend this kit for vapers ready to make the leap into sub-ohm performance.

Does the TFV-Mini V2 Tank leak?

The tank is engineered with a secure top-fill system and multiple O-ring seals to minimise leaking. Most reported leaks are caused by:

• Coils not screwed in tightly enough

• Damaged or missing O-rings

• Filling past the maximum line

• Leaving the device in extreme heat (e.g., a hot car)

Proper assembly and care make leaks very rare.

What e-liquid should I use?

High-VG e-liquids (70% VG or higher) are strongly recommended for best performance. Thinner, high-PG liquids may cause spitback, flooding, or leaking. For the S1 Mesh coil, try 70/30 VG/PG blends. For the S2 Quad coil, 80/20 VG/PG blends perform particularly well.

Can I use the tank on other mods?

Yes. The TFV-Mini V2 Tank uses a standard 510 connection and will function on any mod that supports resistances down to 0.15Ω and wattages up to at least 70W.

Is temperature control supported?

The Mag M270 mod includes temperature control modes for Ni200, Titanium, and SS316L wires. However, the included Mini V2 coils are Kanthal-based and not suitable for TC mode. You must purchase dedicated TC-compatible coils separately.

How long does the battery last?

Battery life depends heavily on your chosen wattage and battery capacity. As a rough guide:

• 21700 (4000mAh) at 60W: Approximately 4–6 hours of moderate use.

• 18650 (2500mAh) at 60W: Approximately 2–4 hours.
  Lower wattages (45W) will extend battery life significantly.

Is USB charging safe?

The included Micro USB port can be used for charging in a pinch. However, external battery charging is always recommended for:

• Faster charging times

• Better battery cell balancing

• Reduced wear on the mod's USB port

• Improved long-term battery health
