Design and Features

The SMOK X-Priv Solo is a compact and ergonomic device designed for comfort and hand feel. The front panel features two separate stacked displays, providing a clear and informative interface for monitoring your settings, with a Type-C 2.5A fast charging port located at the bottom for rapid and efficient recharging when needed or upgrading future firmware releases.

The device features a full-length, tactile, and clicky side-firing bar and Smok includes a handy sticker guide to help users quickly understand and utilize the side-fire activation without confusion. Up top there is a solid 510 plate that will accommodate tanks up to 24 mm in diameter. On the rear you have a removable battery door which is held in place with strong magnets and I can report there was no rattling from this door when using the device. Inside there is clear battery orientation marking including a battery safety warning from Smok.

The screen has touch control allowing you to adjust wattage and enable features including three different display options and vaping animations. The display is bright and clear and easy to read the key information no matter which theme you choose. The mod uses a single external 18650 battery and has a max power output of 80m Watts. Smok have ensured that the X-Priv Solo has been equipped with a host of safety features, including:

  • Intelligent coil recognition
  • High watts warning
  • Overtime protection
  • Short-circuit protection
  • Over-heating protection
  • Low-battery warning

Performance

Thanks to the inbuilt safety features and the inclusion of the delightful side-firing tab, the device fired instantly with every press, delivering immediate power to the tank I was using. The screen provides vibration feedback upon wattage increments, preventing accidental touches and unintentional wattage increases beyond the recommended setting for the installed coil. My favourite safety feature is when the device auto locks when the screen display times out. While, the device offers only a wattage power setting, which may be a drawback for users seeking more versatility. I personally don’t mind this limitation as an old-school vaper who appreciates it!.

Verdict

Smok has introduced a sleek, slim, and pocket-friendly single 18650-powered mod that feels exceptionally comfortable in the hand. With a wide range of available colours, it offers plenty of options to match most tanks, catering to vapers who prioritize aesthetics. Additionally, this mod is available as part of a kit that includes the Smok T-FD tank. The side fire button quickly becomes intuitive to use, and after experiencing it firsthand, I find it to be a standout feature that enhances usability. With solid build quality, a vivid and clear screen, and excellent performance, I highly recommend this mod for the price point.
