Everyone in the SMOK brand also knows the update speed of their new products. Almost every week, a good new product is launched. Today, what we want to bring you is a G-PRIV2 review. In the field of e-cigarettes, there are more and more touch-screen-operated hosts, so that when you go out, e-cigarettes can be integrated into electronic products you carry with you, and touch mode can be turned on. As the world's first-line e-cigarette designer and manufacturer, Avipus has been leading the innovation of e-cigarette technology. As early as last year, it launched the G-PRIV with a large touch screen, which is very high-end atmosphere.
It has the same tough appearance, the same exquisite workmanship and material decoration, but the difference can be seen at a glance. The G-PRIV2 is much slimmer than the previous generation G-PRIV.
While slimming down, the performance becomes stronger. The dual-electric architecture is also adopted, and the power is further increased to 230W compared with the previous generation.
The atomizer equipped with the kit has also been upgraded to this year's newly launched TFV8 X-Baby, which is less prone to oil leaks and has top-intake air.
Large color screen, 230W power, and new atomizer. What other upgrades have been made to the G-PRIV2? Please visit today's detailed review of G-PRIV2.
[Packaging Appearance]
This time, we received a complete retail version of the packaging, which was covered with a disposable sealing film when we arrived to ensure that the products received by consumers were brand new and complete.
The front of the package is a three-dimensional embossed photo of the set. The color and content are the biggest feature of SMOK packaging. The attributes of the new TFV 8 X-Baby are emphasized on the front, and the color X logo is printed, which is very eye-catching. A product introduction and packaging list are printed on the back. On the left side is the QR code downloaded from SMOK's main Steam Time social app, and on the right side is the manufacturer's information and anti-counterfeiting label.
Opening the package, you can see the slim G-PRIV2 mainframe, which has lost a lot of weight. It is fixed in foam material and is very stable.
Remove all packaging, and the product list obtained is: 1 G-PRIV2 mainframe, 1 TFV8X-Baby atomizer (including 1 0.4 atomization core), 1 spare 0.2 atomization core, 1 spare glass oil bin, 2 anti-collision silicone decorative rings, 1 pack of spare leak-proof rubber rings, 1 main machine silicone protective sleeve, 1 data charging cable, and 1 manual warning card qualification card.ΩΩ
There is a protective film on the surface of the host when it is shipped from the factory, which can be removed before use.
The suit received this time is colorful, and the natural transition colors are very beautiful. The main machine atomizers are all painted with matching colors, and the integrity is very good. The first impression I first saw was that the overall body became slender and slender, and the holding feel would be much improved.
The measured measurements of the suit have a length of 139 mm, a width of 52 mm, and a thickness of 27.3 mm. This measurement is quite well controlled for a dual-electric suit. As a touch screen suit, it is even thinner than the main slim Alien and ProColor. By nearly 4 mm out, the overall measurement is quite well controlled.
In terms of the weight of the package, the actual bare metal weight was 248 grams, and the working weight with 2 VTC4 18650 batteries was 338 grams. As a dual-electric touch screen suit, the control is quite good.
[Nebulizer]
The atomizer configured in the G-PRIV2 set is the TFV8 X-Baby launched by SMOK in the second half of this year. It takes air at the top and never leaks liquid. It is very easy to use. It has been used many times before. Here is a brief introduction.
The measured measurements of the TFV8X-Baby are: length 59 mm, diameter 24.5 mm, and weight 59 grams. It is just right and very coordinated with the G-PRIV2 mainframe.
Structurally, this atomizer has only five components, making it easy to use even for newcomers.
The dripping nozzle is a non-standard 510 dripping nozzle, but a much larger straight nozzle to meet the needs of large smoke. The top cover is engraved with instructions for opening the top cover and refueling operations, and the workmanship is very fine.
Unscrew the upper cover in the direction of the arrow to oil the top, which is a representative structural feature of the TFV8 family.
In particular, in addition to the finished atomizing core that comes standard in the packaging (left in the picture below), this atomizer is also sold with an independent RBA (Reconstructible atomizing core)(right in the picture below), which can greatly improve the playability of this atomizer and reduce the cost of use. It is recommended that players equip it with another set.
During assembly, first screw the atomizing core onto the base, place the glass chamber on the upper cover, and then tighten the entire atomizer, so that the glass chamber will not be broken in a hurry.
The packaging provides spare parts for a variety of wearing parts very user-friendly for long-term use.

[Appearance of G-PRIV2 mainframe]
Let's focus on the new G-PRIV2 console in the set, which is slim in shape, touch screen operation, and full of elegance.
Let's take a look at the measured data first. The measured measurements of the mainframe are: 85 mm long, 52 mm wide, and 27.3 mm thick. The height is similar to the previous generation G-PRIV box, but it is slightly thinner, and then the width is greatly reduced by 6 mm.
In terms of weight, the net host weighs 189 grams, and the working weight of two VTC4 18650 batteries is 279 grams. As a touch screen host, the control is quite good. It is the lightest touch screen host seen so far.
The shape of the front main body of the G-PRIV2 mainframe continues the design of the previous generation, with chamfered corners on all sides, so that you will not touch your hands when holding it. The front main body is a large glass panel, and there are 2 triangular decorative blocks on the upper and lower left side, making the machine It will not be too stiff, the exterior design is very classic and beautiful, and the overall workmanship is very fine.
The glass panel on the front is inlaid in a metal frame and formed in one piece, making it very stable and durable. There is a 2.0 size display screen in the middle, with the SMOK logo right above it. It is silk screen printed on the inner side, so it will not fall off due to use.
The display effect of this LCD screen is much better than that of the previous generation. First, the resolution has been much improved, and the display handwriting is very delicate. In addition, it has been upgraded to a full-color LCD display, which is very eye-catching.
There is a silicone protective sleeve in the package for the host, which can effectively reduce the damage caused by falling the host.
The back and front are designed symmetrically. The difference is that it is equipped with a whole carbon fiber panel, and the host model and maximum power are printed on screen.
The carbon fiber panel on the back also greatly enhances the appearance of this console, making it quite classy.
On the left side, the integrated and wide ignition button is a standard configuration on SMOK's flagship model. It is very tall and easy to use. The small key above the ignition button is the screen on key and can be used to turn off or wake up the screen.
Both buttons are made of all-metal material, and the operation feels very good. The side near the top has been smoothly transitioned, which appears to be very refined.
No functions are placed on the right side, which is very simple.
The top is a 510 interface, and the middle positive electrode is gold-plated. The elastic electrode has good adaptability and is convenient to be compatible with all 510 atomizers at hand.
The negative pole is an outwardly extending stainless steel decorative ring to protect the paint surface to a certain extent.
The spring electrode and open top design are effectively compatible with nebulizers of various diameters. The matching has different face values, which also gives users more options than set nebulizers.
The bottom is a cooling hole, a battery pressure relief hole, and a standard MicroUSB charging port. Due to the bottom opening design, the G-PRIV2 mainframe should be placed on the desktop to avoid liquid infiltration from the desktop.
There is a buckle on the bottom to open the battery cover. Use your nails to dig out with a little force to open the battery cover.
The battery cover is combined by eight magnets that attract each other. The attraction of the magnets is relatively large, so the combination is very tight and will not shake or make abnormal noises, but it takes some strength to open it. There are positive and negative electrode markings in the battery compartment, and dual batteries are designed in series. Pay attention to the polarity of the batteries when using them.
[Host Function]
As a high-end model, the G-PRIV2 has the mainstream functions of current e-cigarettes, including common power, temperature control, TCR, smoking statistics and other functions.
Since the G-PRIV2 introduces a high-end high-pixel color screen, the screen display layout of the G-PRIV2 adopts a new structure this time. The layout during standby is marked in the diagram below. The white fonts seen on the screen cannot be set, but the red display style can be adjusted to other colors. There are also 2 virtual adjustment keys on the 2 sides of the lower ring, which are used to adjust the power value or temperature, and will only be displayed when clicked:
In terms of menu operations, just click on the MENU in the upper left corner to enter the menu interface (bottom right). There are 4 icons arranged. The rest of the operations are just like the operations of Apple or Android phones. They are very simple. I believe you don't need to do too much introductions, and friends will naturally get started. Moreover, this touch screen is also a capacitive screen, and the feedback is very sensitive. There is no obvious difference from the operating response of the iPhone. The experience is very good.
Here are a few operational details:
1. To enter the power or temperature control mode, just click the VW or TC icon, and then click the slider on the top row to open to enter the VW or TC mode.
2. Press the ignition button quickly 3 times in 2 seconds to lock the ignition button and touch screen operations. Press the ignition button three times again to unlock the ignition button, but the screen is still locked. You need to press and hold the small lock button above the ignition button to unlock the screen.
You can quickly press the ignition button 5 times in 3 or 2 seconds to choose whether to turn off the machine. SMOK has finally simplified the shutdown steps, which is very good.
#p #Pagination Title #e # [Comparison between G-PRIV2 and G-PRIV mainframe]
When the old and new generation touch-screen consoles are put together, from the perspective of big design concepts and basic elements, the two are in the same line. Except for the differences in three dimensions, the style is exactly the same, including the bottom charging port and cooling hole design., they are almost exactly the same.
From the front, there is the same metal frame inlaid glass panel design, the same triangular decoration on the left side, and the same chamfered corner design on the four sides. The difference is that the display screens of the two are different. Although the size of the G-PRIV2 is slightly smaller, the display effect is obviously better than the G-PRIV2 's 2.4-inch monochrome screen; At the same time, the width of the G-PRIV2 is 6.5mm narrower than that of the G-PRIV, so it looks slimmer and feels more comfortable to hold; Finally, the difference between the two can also be seen in terms of maximum power. The G-PRIV2 achieves a higher power output of 230W.
The two on the back also have exactly the same design, reflecting the blood relationship of brothers.
The left side has the same layout and design, and the top of the G-PRIV2 looks a little more rounded.
The right side looks almost exactly the same.
From the above comparison, G-PRIV 2 is more like a slimming + performance upgrade of G-PRIV, while in terms of design elements, it completely inherits the same idea. (For the review of old G-PRIV models, please see: "Touch Giant Screen Strong Machine SMOK G-PRIV Suite Review ")——
[Host disassembly]
It is relatively troublesome to disassemble a compact mainframe like the G-PRIV2, and it is even more troublesome to install it back. I believe that the labor cost in its selling price is much higher. First open the battery cover and unscrew the 6 screws in the battery compartment to disassemble the upper part of the battery compartment:
Further disassembly requires using an electric soldering iron to weld the management wires at the electrodes and the leads of the 510 electrodes respectively.
After that, the screen, motherboard, and frame can be separated in turn. There are many components and the difficulty of dismantling is relatively greater. The family portrait is as follows:
In turn: its battery compartment is two-piece, and plastic material prevents short circuits.
The LCD screen panel on the front echoes the idea of the battery cover, paying attention to symmetrical aesthetics.
The back of the LCD is connected to the motherboard with a cable. It is integrated in an integrated package. The touch screen and display screen cable are combined together, making installation easy. However, if the assembly must be replaced once it breaks, it is believed that the price is high, so the value of maintenance will not be great. Prompt to prevent the host from falling during use.
The thickness of the middle frame is relatively moderate, which provides good rigidity and does not exaggerate the weight, effectively controlling the weight of the overall host. The ignition button is a hinge combined on the main frame, and the lock screen button is an independent small key made of all-metal material, providing good feel feedback.
The motherboard also adopts the idea of connecting two boards into an L shape, which can effectively reduce the thickness of the whole machine. In fact, the thickness of the G-PRIV2 is very well controlled in the entire SMOK model. The battery electrodes are directly soldered to the motherboard, and the right side is a signal line for separate power management and balanced charging.
The main control and LCD screen cable sockets can be seen on the back of the large board. The main control of the G-PRIV2 adopts Xintang's solution, which has very good performance, both in terms of response speed and power output, are very ideal.
The inductor is placed on the side of the small plate and below the ignition microswitch, which effectively utilizes the space in the neutral space of the ignition button and has a unique design.
Overall, the overall layout of the G-PRIV2 is similar to that of the G-PRIV, but the chip has been upgraded from NXP to a new chip from Xintang. The inductor has been flipped in a position to save a lot of space for the width. The materials are as solid as ever. It is a very good upgrade.
[Host power curve output test]
For actual use, the power output depends on the amount of smoke and taste experience. Therefore, a current, voltage and power meter is used in series on the electrode to directly measure the output power, and a TTL-USB communication module is used to upload real-time data to the computer, intercept its relevant measurement data, and make a graph, so that its power output is more digital.
Set the power to a maximum of 230W, adjust the taste mode to MAX, use a 0.13 resistor and two fully charged VTC4 batteries to test its maximum output, and successfully obtain a maximum power output of 230.6W. Due to the influence of DC discharge, the after-range power has a downward trend, but the 10-second test interval (10 seconds is the safety protection period of the G-PRIV2 mainframe) can get an average power output of 219W, which is in line with its overall power positioning of 230W.Ω
The output test at 180W was also very smooth, with slight fluctuations in the middle, but the overall output met its nominal value.
The output at 100W is relatively stable, but there is still a slight drop in the later journey.
Test summary: The power output of the G-PRIV2 mainframe is very stable, and its performance at a maximum of 230W is very outstanding. It has zero ignition delay, and the maximum nominal value is flawless. It is very solid. At lower power output, it also shows a slight downward trend, indicating that the adjustment of this mainframe is relatively restrained, and it drops slightly after the output reaches the set value to ensure that the overall output will not fluctuate greatly., maintain the accuracy of the overall output. Therefore, the power of using this mainframe will be relatively standard, and veterans can use it according to their daily experience without additional adjustments.
#p #Pagination Title #e # [Experience]
One of the biggest changes in the G-PRIV2 is the slimming down of three dimensions, especially the width, so it looks slimmer overall and feels very good when holding. Simply comparing the G-PRIV2 with its predecessor generation touch screen machine G-PRIV, the G-PRIV2 feels much better. It is no problem to hold it with one hand. Whether it is held with your thumb and ignited with your index finger, it will be very comfortable. In addition, the display screen has been upgraded to a higher-definition color screen, and the appearance has also been greatly improved, making the use process very pleasant.
In terms of smoking experience, the output of this console is very violent and direct, with no delay in ignition. The maximum output of 230W further refreshes the upper limit of dual-electric consoles, so it can be easily satisfied whether it is daily smoking or playing smoke. The TFV8 X-Baby has air intake at the top, which has large smoke and effectively prevents smoke oil leakage. It is very suitable for both newcomers and old birds. This kind of combination is worry-free and practical, which is very good.
In terms of temperature control, the G-PRIV2 's temperature control technology with TCR function has also expanded the application range of this mainframe. When used with a temperature control wire, it can effectively reduce the probability of atomization core sticking, and is suitable for lazy people who don't like to toss. use.
The setting function of the mainframe is a little weaker. The contrast adjustment that was not seen in the previous generation G-PRIV is still not available this time. This way, the display in the sun is slightly worse, although such usage scenarios are rare. Power adjustment still requires pressing a virtual key. If a sliding function can be added, it can effectively reflect the advantages of the touch screen.
[Summary]
A year after the stunning debut of the previous generation G-PRIV, the slimmer version of G-PRIV2 has finally made its debut. During the year of using G-PRIV, I didn't actually find many shortcomings, but the size did lower the G-PRIV's experience score. Now, the G-PRIV2 has been greatly reduced in size, increased in power to 230W, and upgraded to a higher-definition color screen, while the G-PRIV2 has been beautifully designed before retention. Personally, this shows that SMOK has always been a company that is willing to listen to users 'opinions and constantly innovate. For this reason, SMOK, as a first-line brand, has always led the trend of e-cigarettes. I believe that such an upgrade with sincerity will once again arouse a whirlwind of touching the e-cigarette market. (Works by equa)

Due to the influence of DC discharge, the after-range power has a downward trend, but the 10-second test interval (10 seconds is the safety protection period of the G-PRIV2 mainframe) can get an average power output of 219W, which is in line with its overall power positioning of 230W.Ω
The output test at 180W was also very smooth, with slight fluctuations in the middle, but the overall output met its nominal value.
The output at 100W is relatively stable, but there is still a slight drop in the later journey.
Test summary: The power output of the G-PRIV2 mainframe is very stable, and its performance at a maximum of 230W is very outstanding. It has zero ignition delay, and the maximum nominal value is flawless. It is very solid. At lower power output, it also shows a slight downward trend, indicating that the adjustment of this mainframe is relatively restrained, and it drops slightly after the output reaches the set value to ensure that the overall output will not fluctuate greatly., maintain the accuracy of the overall output. Therefore, the power of using this mainframe will be relatively standard, and veterans can use it according to their daily experience without additional adjustments.

One of the biggest changes in the G-PRIV2 is the slimming down of three dimensions, especially the width, so it looks slimmer overall and feels very good when holding. Simply comparing the G-PRIV2 with its predecessor generation touch screen machine G-PRIV, the G-PRIV2 feels much better. It is no problem to hold it with one hand. Whether it is held with your thumb and ignited with your index finger, it will be very comfortable. In addition, the display screen has been upgraded to a higher-definition color screen, and the appearance has also been greatly improved, making the use process very pleasant.
In terms of smoking experience, the output of this console is very violent and direct, with no delay in ignition. The maximum output of 230W further refreshes the upper limit of dual-electric consoles, so it can be easily satisfied whether it is daily smoking or playing smoke. The TFV8 X-Baby has air intake at the top, which has large smoke and effectively prevents smoke oil leakage. It is very suitable for both newcomers and old birds. This kind of combination is worry-free and practical, which is very good.
In terms of temperature control, the G-PRIV2 's temperature control technology with TCR function has also expanded the application range of this mainframe. When used with a temperature control wire, it can effectively reduce the probability of atomization core sticking, and is suitable for lazy people who don't like to toss. use.
The setting function of the mainframe is a little weaker. The contrast adjustment that was not seen in the previous generation G-PRIV is still not available this time. This way, the display in the sun is slightly worse, although such usage scenarios are rare. Power adjustment still requires pressing a virtual key. If a sliding function can be added, it can effectively reflect the advantages of the touch screen.
[Summary]
A year after the stunning debut of the previous generation G-PRIV, the slimmer version of G-PRIV2 has finally made its debut. During the year of using G-PRIV, I didn't actually find many shortcomings, but the size did lower the G-PRIV's experience score. Now, the G-PRIV2 has been greatly reduced in size, increased in power to 230W, and upgraded to a higher-definition color screen, while the G-PRIV2 has been beautifully designed before retention. Personally, this shows that SMOK has always been a company that is willing to listen to users 'opinions and constantly innovate. For this reason, SMOK, as a first-line brand, has always led the trend of e-cigarettes. I believe that such an upgrade with sincerity will once again arouse a whirlwind of touching the e-cigarette market. (Works by equa)
