From using/selling Smok devices on a daily basis; the Alien or Skyhook, sadly, I like Smok's GUI more compared to my DNAs; screen size, more detailed info, and it's put together cleanly.

We have all the colors schemes on demo at work, but that red one doe, very nice!

People seem to be more interested in this than our IJOY RDTA box. I like both, but the Smok one a tad better for it's size & chip.

I own both, this is much better than the Ijoy. Much better form factor and even though it holds a few mls less than the Ijoy, it's great. So far so good.

Yeah what did I do with my DNAs lol. Personally I didn't think I'd like a Smok product, but I do like this.

lol, I second that. Remember Smok 4 years ago? Now this? Night & day. We have a few more Skyhooks left in black, the colored ones sold like hotcakes. We still have all colors of the IJoy's. But it's been out longer and we reordered 2 times, might be our last. I don't mind the IJoy though, I just don't know if people take it around town, they're big. Skyhook is more compact and feels good in the hands. I never knew how popular these RDTA boxes were going to be, it's like squonking but you don't have to squish a button to juice. I thought we squanked because we were lazy to drip? Next, we'll be too lazy to turn on or reach for devices so a magical dwarf will appear to fart vapor into our mouths.

Smok has the best menu system IMO clean and easy to use. Also I think they have the best chip of the non premium companies like yihi evolv and hohmtech. It beats out the chips from wismec ijoy Joyetech eleaf kanger etc for sure

Seems like a better version of squonking. I still want a squonk box eventually. I'm waiting on the geekvape gs100 for that. Smok even in 2015 wasn't very good but in 2016 they put out some of the best products.

Absolutely. I think it's a good size too; temp of the chip, both battery indicators, accurate real time readings, etc.. all in one screen. It'll be a matter of time until we see it in our DNAs. I just wished they took out that damn puff count or added a way to remove from screen.. does puff count fascinate anyone here? I know why that info is used and how you'd use it. There might have been a whole 5 minutes thinking how it'd be handy and nice to know, then time will pass, then you won't ever gaf about it your whole life. lol. It's just there. And comes back. Nobody wants it. It's like herpes.

Lol yeah I don't see the point in the puff counter but outside of that I love all the info the chip gives you

Yep, sure do brother. I've held a grudge against them for years due to bad cartos. Everyone is going to get carpal tunnel from the Genny lean

Vodka is my liquor of choice. It used to be nothing but Vodka/Red Bull at concerts for me :D.

IDK why u have such an issue with me posting a video.
Simply because it's out of context. Otherwise, this whole forum would be a free for all. Chaos everywhere. Next thing you know, people will start burning the VU flag in the streets. TOTAL MAYHEM! Then the FDA will gain complete control of the vaping industry, and squish it like overcooked peas. Vaping - in any form whatsoever - will become a crime, punishable by no less than 10 years in a maximum security facility. I don't know about you, but I don't want Bubba for a "roommate" and I look terrible in a pink wig.

That's why I don't post video reviews in the Handcheck thread.

Ej was asking for it a few times in the thread so I posted it up for him

IDK why u have such an issue with me posting a video. If u don't like it then ignore it. Very simple. Or just put me on ignore. Whatever floats your boat.

I don't. I do have an issue with you pimping your videos in so many threads. I understand you say you're trying to help people but it looks like spam when they're all over the place. Like you said, I'll put you on ignore, problem solved.

I only keep it to relative posts/threads not like I randomly post a review for an item that has nothing to do with anything in threads. And also I don't make any money on it, no ads, no free stuff, no sponsors so I literally have nothing to gain other then reaching more people to help. If I was making money or sponsored and posting unrelevant reviews in threads they yes I would agree with you for sure. That's why I removed the video since it bothered some people.

Not to mention I seen some people who complained about it (not naming names) tell others they were being classy by posting a review link and not writing a while review out. We'll with vids you can't do that. The link auto embeds. If there was a way to just link and not embed I would but either way I fail to see a difference.

Also the point I'm a member and hobbiest here. Not a vendor. I donated to the forums, I help people in plenty thread without posting a review. And I'm here alot just chatting and enjoying the hobby.

I plan to make a video on battery safety and if someone makes a dumb post of I'm building to .001 with efest batteries is it safe and I post that video on safety would u consider it out of line or spamming? Where exactly is the line between helping with info and over promoting a channel that cost me money and time with no reward for me just cause I enjoy the hobby and like to help people get off smoking and enjoy vaping as well?
