The Smok G-priv in Silver/Black that I have and now use is an actual beast and able to handle the Sense Blazer and Arctic V12 sub-ohm tanks. I have to admit, the touch screen was never appealing to me at first, since I've had the Laisimo L1 in the past (which has a screen as a gimmick). It is very useful, has great functionality, and I'm glad there's still a fire button like the H-Priv, on the side and wattage +/- buttons separate from the screen function. The screen is only one color but it's very vibrant for a TFT 2.4". I haven't had fingerprint smudges become a problem since I don't allow my hands to remain coated with any small e-liquid amount one may encounter while filling or whatever contact with the bottle one would have. I do wash my hands compulsively but regardless, I bet dropping the mod screen down on a cement walkway from 3.6 feet would shatter it. However, I believe there will be 3rd party screen protectors available on amazon or something soon. Maybe a Vape Skin site, or vapor sales site in the accessories section. I've been using the Arctic V12 .3ohm coils because the .1ohm coils are way too warm. The Sense Blazer is great with the higher resistance coils as long as you remember to close off the air holes and not to tilt the tanks after initially soaking a coil or a big refill. The G-Priv has a new battery balancing charge feature which is great even though so many would recommend using an external charger. My friend charges his batteries internally and I found that he has perfectly stable levels after many consecutive charges. I am enamored by this feature and the speed of the charging is great. 1500mAH 30-32 amp rated batteries will charge in a short time. The Joytech ORNATE Competition sub-ohm tank is plagued with spitback and leakage. I also don't suggest buying the TFV8 BIG baby beast tank kit with this mod because it's been remodeled for compatibility with full TFV8 coils and they still leaked like crazy for my buddy. I think the E-liquid consumption, insanely hot temps after consecutive hits, and top of the line performance are all equal among the Arctic V12, TFV8, and Sense Blazer. Just from my experience the TFV8 leaks and I've tried 2 different ones from different sites. None of my friends can keep their's full either. Sense Blazer is better for cooler vapor and nice flavor, which the Arctic V12 is strictly warm showoff cloud chaser hardware. I like that the G-Priv can handle all of this and again, you don't need to use the max suggested wattage for coils here, just enough to have a nice vape that you personally enjoy. I even tried the Arctic V8 "Octuple Kanthal .2ohm 130W max" coils which are very prone to overheating, and the "V4 Quadruple Clapton .2ohm 150W max" coils. They still are fun. Sorry for going off topic. I just want to recommend tanks that don't leak. The TFV4 TF-T8 Octuplet Clapton .2ohm 180W max coils are newer and also are an alternative. This handles it all. Make sure you have high amperage batteries, even if they're 25 amp Sony VTC5As. Just check your voltage levels on screen. Best mod I've ever had because I particularly love the internal charging which works like no other mod before it. It's safe and maybe better to use than a cheap intellicharger. It's not like the old days. That's my point. For about $75, the mod itself is worth every penny, and unless you're a nut that needs 320W, this is the one for you and even though a screen seems silly on a mod, it's a treat. 10/10
