SMOK X-PRIV PLUS 225W Starter Kit Review
The SMOK X-Priv Plus 225W Starter Kit pairs a 5W to 225W mod, powered by two 18650 batteries you buy separately, with the 5.5ml TF-D Subtank for D-COIL mesh coils. SMOK designed the TF-D for direct-to-lung vaping. The mod has a 2.01-inch color screen and haptic touch controls. See more from SMOK or compare other box mod kits.
X-Priv Plus Highlights
Dual 18650, 225W
The SMOK X-Priv Plus runs on two 18650 batteries, which you buy separately, from 5W to 225W. It works with coils from 0.1Ω to 2.5Ω.
Haptic Touch Controls
SMOK gives the mod haptic touch controls, switchable themes and a vibration reminder. You fire with a large key on the side.
Magnetic Battery Cap
A magnetic cap covers the two batteries. You can also charge them in the mod over USB-C at up to 2.0A.
TF-D Subtank
The 5.5ml TF-D has top airflow and a sliding childproof top fill, and SMOK gives it four leak-resistant features. It takes D-COIL mesh coils.

D-COIL Coils and Wattage
The TF-D takes SMOK’s D-COIL series, and two come in the X-Priv Plus box:
| D-COIL | Mesh and style | SMOK rating |
|---|---|---|
| D-COIL Meshed 0.15Ω (installed) | single meshed, DTL | 55–65W, best at 60W |
| D-COIL Meshed 0.23Ω (in the box) | dual meshed, DTL | 45–55W, best at 50W |
| D-COIL Meshed 0.4Ω | single meshed, RDL and DL | 25–35W, best at 25W |
We sell all three as SMOK D coils. SMOK says the dual meshed coil’s hexagon-structure mesh gives more stable heating. Our SMOK coil compatibility guide shows which coils fit each SMOK tank and pod kit.
Batteries
Use a matched pair of high-drain 18650s from a known brand, and charge, use and replace them together. Don’t charge batteries overnight, and carry spares in a case. The FDA has more battery safety tips.
How to Set Up the X-Priv Plus
- Add batteries: take off the magnetic battery cap, fit two charged 18650s and put the cap back.
- Fill the tank: slide the TF-D’s top cap to open the slot, fill it with the bottle nozzle pushed fully in, then push the cap back.
- Wait: give the coil 2 to 3 minutes to soak before you vape.
- Set the power: start at the low end of your coil’s range: 55W for the 0.15Ω or 45W for the 0.23Ω.
Who the X-Priv Plus Is For
The SMOK X-Priv Plus suits direct-to-lung vapers who want two-battery power, a 2.01-inch screen and a tank built to resist leaks. For one battery and a smaller body, see the X-Priv Solo. For another dual 18650 kit, see the Voopoo DRAG 5, which has temperature control.
Good to know: Two reviewers found the X-Priv Plus heavy or bulky in the hand. SMOK lists the mod alone at 112g.
