If you are a pro of vaping, you will not be surprised by how fast the industry has changed. This can be linked to the advancement in the technology sector. Many people are quitting traditional smoking for vaping as an alternative. Unlike traditional tobacco cigarettes, which have tar or carbon monoxide, e-cigarettes are regulated from these two harmful substances. The e-liquid and vapor contain some of these substances but at a measurable level.
SMOK brands have continued dominating the vaping industry since their establishment back in 2010. SMOK G-Priv 3 is the latest and most popular series of vape kits and mods in the vaping market. The company’s products are all over the market, with nearly 80 million vapers worldwide using them. The Nord pod system, the Alien, TFV tanks, and Mag Kits are among the brand’s most loved devices. Based on their website, there aren’t any SMOK devices that have been reviewed negatively to cast a cloud over the company products.
About the SMOK G-Priv 3 vape pod
According to the SMOK Company, the upgrade was done to the kit’s hardware and software. Looking at the previous SMOK Pod, you will notice some changes in the display screen, which was increased in size from 2.0″ to 2.4″. The mod was also enlarged to 2mm wider from 1mm and 7gms heavier. The SMOK G-Priv 3 pod uses a 32-bit processor and a new IQ-G chip that enables it to produce 230W fire in 0.001 seconds. The processor can also handle a higher current of up to 50A.
You can easily access The SMOK G-Priv 3 batteries by removing the pod back panel. This is an adjustment from the old SMOK pods with hinged battery doors that could break easily while opening. The pod has a USB-C charging port and a 2A charge rating, and a balance charge is an advantage to users who don’t enjoy forking out for an external battery charger.
The SMOK TFV16 lite tank contains a 5ml e-liquid capacity with two coils. Between the two coils, there is a wattage range of 60W-90W. The SMOK TFV16 lite has a high base to provide adequate airflow space for better vapor production and a rich vape flavor. There is a rubber seal within the top cap instead of putting it over the fill hole to give the filling a better look. The top cap also contains a locking button to avoid leakages,

Design and Build Quality
Sometimes it may be hard to differentiate SMOK G Priv 3 from its predecessors like G-Priv 2 and the original G-Priv mods. The new mod is large and available in 4 colors: black, prism chrome, prism gold, and red. Each mod has its shell pattern drawn on the battery cover. The mod is not too big; it measures 5.4cm X 2.8cm. SMOK G Priv 3 bottle edges are chamfered, making it nicer to hold.
The SMOK G-Priv 3 Touch Screen
The SMOK G-Priv 3 has a 2.4″ display screen, which is ideal for any user. SMOK G-Priv 3 screen is neither too big nor too small. It measures 32mm X 52mm with a nice interface. The rev counter design incorporates wattage and puff timer well on the mod screen. There is the resistance, voltage, and puff counter at the bottom of the screener. They are usually above the mod power adjustment buttons.
The SMOK G-Priv 3 screen is sensitive and easy to operate. At the top part of the screen, there is a menu button, battery level indicator, and screen lock icon (in case the screen is locked). You will only access three buttons on the home screen: the menu button, power up, and power down.
Charging the SMOK G-Priv mod
It is better to have a device with removable batteries; you can charge them externally using an external charger at least once a week. But thanks to new mods like SMOK G-Priv 3, which contain a balanced charger. Without balanced charging, the mod’s charge becomes unbalanced, weakening the batteries. When the mod overcharges, the mod battery life span decreases. The balancing feature ensures the battery is fully charged at the right time required. For instance, if your mod uses a 2X2500mAH battery and charges at 2A, it should take 2.5hours to charge fully.
