SMOK R-Kiss 2 Vape Kit

TL;DR: The SMOK R-Kiss 2 Vape Kit is a 200W dual-battery mod with a colour screen, a full-length fire bar and the TFV-Mini V2 tank. It suits sub-ohm vapers who want big power in a light, easy-to-fire body. Not ideal for beginners after a small pod kit. Note: it takes two 18650 batteries, sold separately.

• A 1.3 inch TFT colour screen shows wattage, battery and coil data, with changeable theme colours.

• The SMOK R-Kiss 2 costs £28.99 at Vape Online Store as of July 2026.

The SMOK R-Kiss 2 Vape Kit is a 200W mod that fires from the side of its body, not a small button. The full-length fire bar means you squeeze anywhere on the edge to vape, which reviewers on the E-Cigarette Forum single out as a genuine help for anyone with grip or dexterity difficulties. A box mod is a larger vape with removable batteries and full wattage control, and at roughly 115g the R-Kiss 2 is unusually light for a dual-battery device. This is the R-Kiss 2, the updated model, not the original single-screen R-Kiss.

Key Specs Customers Check

• Batteries: dual 18650, sold separately. Two high-amp cells are required before the kit will fire.
• Output: 5 to 200W. Far more headroom than the included coils need, so nothing is strained.
• Fire bar: full-length side bar. Squeeze anywhere to fire; the easiest firing action on any SMOK mod.
• Screen: 1.3 inch TFT colour. Clear data with selectable theme colours.
• Tank: TFV-Mini V2, 2ml (UK TPD). Top fill with adjustable bottom airflow.
• Coils: Mini V2 S1 mesh, two included. Warm, dense sub-ohm vapour.
• Charging: USB-C at 2A. Quick for a dual-battery mod, though an external charger is still kinder to cells.
• Weight: about 115g without batteries. Light enough for all-day carry.

Pick Your Inhale: DTL first

DTL (direct-to-lung) is a fully open lung inhale for maximum vapour, and that is what this kit is built for. MTL (mouth-to-lung) is a tight, cigarette-like draw that this tank is not designed to give. The coil sets the experience:

• Mini V2 S1 mesh (included): DTL at high wattage. Dense, warm clouds with strong flavour; start around 60 to 70W and climb.
• Mini V2 S2 and other Mini V2 coils (sold separately): variations on the same DTL style, trading cloud size against battery life.
• Airflow control: tighten the base ring for a slightly restricted draw, though it stays a lung-inhale device.

Coils and E-Liquid Pairing

Sub-ohm coils need thick juice. Use a 70VG shortfill; VG (vegetable glycerine) is the thick part of e-liquid that makes vapour, and thin liquid floods low-resistance coils. Browse 100ml shortfill e-liquids at 3 to 6mg freebase nicotine. Nic salts and 50/50 liquids belong in pod kits, not this tank; at these wattages they turn harsh.

Batteries, Coil Life and Running Cost

Two good 18650 cells give most vapers a full day at 60 to 80W, and the light body keeps that comfortable to carry. The cells are not included, so add two Molicel P26A 18650 batteries at £5.49 each to your order. A Mini V2 coil lasts about a week of regular vaping; with e-liquid, expect £6 to £9 a week, still far below a disposable habit. Browse replacement vape coils to keep spares in stock.

Compatibility and Refills

The UK edition ships with the TFV-Mini V2 tank, which takes the SMOK Mini V2 coil family, the same coils used by the TFV8 Baby V2 tank. Standard TFV8, TFV9 and TFV18 coils do not fit, so check the packet says Mini V2 (or Baby V2). The mod itself has a standard 510 connection and drives tanks up to 25mm wide, so it happily runs other sub-ohm tanks if you upgrade later.

Best Colours

The R-Kiss 2 comes in five finishes. Black is the discreet pick that suits pocket and work carry. Grey and the darker two-tones hide fingerprints well and appeal to vapers who want a clean, technical look. Black-Blue and Black/Red add colour along the fire bar edge and tend to be chosen by vapers who like their hardware to stand out on the desk.

How to Set Up the SMOK R-Kiss 2

1. Open the battery door and insert two 18650 cells, matching the polarity marks.
2. Screw the TFV-Mini V2 tank onto the 510 plate and check the preinstalled coil is tight.
3. Open the top cap and fill with 70VG e-liquid.
4. Wait 10 minutes so the coil primes, meaning the cotton soaks fully before first fire.
5. Press the fire bar five times to switch on, start around 60W and work up until the flavour peaks.

How to Make It Last Longer

• Buy the two cells as a matched pair and always charge and use them together.
• Check battery wraps monthly. A torn 18650 wrap must be replaced before use.
• Never fire a dry tank. Refill before the liquid drops below the coil ports.
• Stay inside the coil's wattage band rather than chasing the 200W ceiling.
• Lock the fire bar in a pocket. Five clicks turns the mod off and stops accidental firing.
• Clean the 510 threads weekly so the tank seats and reads correctly.

SMOK R-Kiss 2 Price Comparison

As of July 2026, UK stores typically list the R-Kiss 2 around £30 to £40. Vape Online Store sells it at £28.99, under that range. Inside the store, the Vaporesso Gen 200 at £32.99 is the closest rival: the Gen 200 is lighter still with the award-winning iTank, while the R-Kiss 2 counters with the fire bar, the colour screen and a lower price.

SMOK R-Kiss 2 FAQs

Does the SMOK R-Kiss 2 come with batteries?

No. It needs two high-amp 18650 batteries, sold separately. Add a pair to your order or the kit will not fire.

Which coils fit the R-Kiss 2 tank?

The SMOK Mini V2 coil family, shared with the TFV8 Baby V2 tank. TFV9 and TFV18 coils do not fit. Check the packet says Mini V2.

What is the difference between the R-Kiss and R-Kiss 2?

The R-Kiss 2 adds the IQS chip, a bigger 1.3 inch colour screen with themes, 2A USB-C charging and a refined fire bar. The original R-Kiss is the earlier 200W model.

Is the R-Kiss 2 good for people with weak grip?

Reviewers on the E-Cigarette Forum highlight the full-length lateral fire bar as one of the easiest firing systems available, since any squeeze along the edge fires the mod.

Is the R-Kiss 2 MTL or DTL?

DTL. The Mini V2 tank and coils are built for open lung inhales and big vapour. For a tight cigarette-style draw, choose an MTL pod kit instead.

What e-liquid should I use?

70VG shortfills at 3 to 6mg. Thin 50/50 liquids and nic salts flood sub-ohm coils and feel harsh at this power.

How long do the Mini V2 coils last?

About a week of regular vaping. A burnt or dull taste means it is time to swap the coil.
