Performance and Power
At the heart of the X-PRIV PLUS is its impressive power capability. The device operates within a wattage range of 5W to 225W, accommodating various vaping styles from mild to intense. It is powered by dual 18650 batteries (not included), ensuring extended usage between charges. The mod supports a voltage range of 1.0V to 8.2V and can handle resistance levels between 0.1 ohm and 2.5 ohms, providing versatility for different coil types and vaping preferences. Additionally, the device features a 2.0A fast charging capability via a USB Type-C port, minimizing downtime and enhancing convenience.
SMOK has integrated multiple safety protections into the X-PRIV PLUS to ensure a secure vaping experience. These include intelligent atomizer recognition, high wattage warning, overtime protection, short-circuit protection, over-heating protection, and low battery warning. These safeguards work together to protect both the user and the device from potential hazards.
User Interface and Controls

TF-D Subtank
Paired with the X-PRIV PLUS mod is the TF-D Subtank, engineered to deliver exceptional flavor and vapor production. The tank has a substantial e-liquid capacity of 5.5ml, reducing the need for frequent refills during extended vaping sessions. It features a top-fill design with a child-proof lock, ensuring safety and ease of use.
