A near-clone of The Core e-rig<\/a>, the Smokeski packs in some pretty impressive features for the price requested. How does it stand up to other e-rigs like the Puffco Peak Pro? We\u2019ll find out of course in the Smokeski e-rig review!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Review: Smokeski e-rig
\n<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"Smokeski<\/p>\n

\n\"Smokeski<\/p>\n

How it Works<\/h3>\n

Like any other e-rig on the market, you can either cold load or hot load the Smokeski. We certainly prefer cold loading with this and other e-rigs out there.<\/p>\n

A hot hit requires you to heat up the atomizer before loading your material.<\/p>\n

A cold hit requires you to load the material into the atomizer, and then heat it up.<\/p>\n

When cold loading though, we highly recommend warming up the atomizer just a touch to help melt the wax off your tool and into the bowl. Otherwise, your sticky materials will just remain glued to your tool with conviction!<\/p>\n

Going back to the beginning, make sure the bubbler is filled up with a little bit of water. Heat it up, and away you go – inhale gently and apply the carb cap over the bowl to increase the hit density.<\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div>

\n

 
\n\"Smokeski<\/p>\n

Temperature Flexibility<\/h3>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

You\u2019re granted a total of four heat settings to play with. While the best e-rigs around now come with multiple heat settings that you can control, the Smokeski\u2019s temperature settings are fixed.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re actually not quite sure as to what these settings are, but, from our experience, we\u2019ll say that they\u2019re quite well chosen. For all intents and purposes, we\u2019ve found 4 settings to be plenty, though wax enthusiasts will certainly be better suited by something with complete temperature control like the Puffco Peak Pro<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div>

\n

\"Smokeski<\/p>\n

Vapor Quality<\/h3>\n

The real thing we care about – the vapor quality! Just how does it perform?<\/p>\n

Well, in all honesty – it\u2019s pretty decent! This is largely due to the SiC (silicon carbide) atomizer which is sometimes preferred over quartz in the community. The result is smooth, the excellent flavor on the lower two settings, and rich, cloudy hits at a high temp.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re glad to report that the vapor quality from the Smokeski alone competes very well with vaporizers in a much higher price bracket in terms of vapor quality. You do miss out on complete and total temperature control which docks off a point in the vapor quality aspect, though all in all, it\u2019s pretty okay. Users that want a powerful device that can provide consistent sessions should take a look at the Utillian 8<\/a>, which comes with a Bursthit 3D atomizer<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Smokeski<\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div><\/span>

\"Smokeski<\/p>\n

Manufacturing Quality<\/h3>\n

This is where the Smokeski e-rig loses some points. It\u2019s certainly not bad and feels like it\u2019ll stand the test of time, but compared to premium units it leaves a little to be desired.<\/p>\n

However, included in the box is a hefty amount of accessories which is great for beginners! You\u2019ll get the device itself, the SiC bucket coil, a titanium bucket, carb cap, splash guard, charger, cleaning pads, swaps, replacement o-rings,\u00a0 carrying case, two tools, and a few other small bits and pieces.<\/p>\n

Though these aren\u2019t quite anything special, it\u2019s really nice to see these included – especially two tools! The titanium bucket we find is a great backup just in case your SiC atomizer is left to clean or even broken.<\/p>\n

\"Smokeski<\/p>\n

Battery Life<\/h3>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

An area where we feel the Smokeski would\u2019ve skimped out on but actually delivered is battery life! We\u2019ve found it to be in line with other e-rigs and yield around 25-30 full draws before needing to be topped up.<\/p>\n

They\u2019ve also used USB-C which makes us happy. It takes approx 1.5-2 hours to top up from empty, which is average. Gone are the days of MicroUSB, slowly but surely!<\/p>\n

This is in-line with what The Core<\/a> e-rig provides with its 3,000mAh battery.<\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div>

\n

\"Smokeski<\/span><\/p>\n

Portability<\/h3>\n

An average size compared to its peers, the Smokeski dab rig is about as portable as the others out there. Coming with its own little carrying case, you\u2019re able to bring it around as long as you have a bag or similar to toss it into.<\/p>\n

We\u2019d certainly recommend something like the G Pen Roam over the Smokeski or even Dr Dabber Boost Evo<\/a> if you\u2019re looking for a portable e-rig to take on the go – it won\u2019t spill water and was designed for this purpose!<\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div>

\n

\"Smokeski<\/span><\/p>\n

Ease of Use<\/h3>\n

After the first half dozen sessions, we\u2019re confident that you\u2019ll have practically mastered how to use the Smokeski. There is a slight learning curve at first if you\u2019ve never used an e-rig before or a oil rig in general.<\/p>\n

Cleaning is quite simple as each part comes out for easy cleaning. We\u2019d recommend cleaning the atomizer with isopropyl alcohol and a cotton swap every few sessions and the bubbler whenever you please. Keeping the atomizer clean is crucial for the good performance and longevity of your device!<\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div>

\n

\"Smokeski<\/span><\/p>\n

Discreetness<\/h3>\n

Like almost any e-rig out there (aside from the G Pen Roam), the Smokeski isn\u2019t at all what we\u2019d consider being discreet. Though it won\u2019t smell anything like smoking, the shape and usage of it is obviously strange to many people and will generate a bit of attention.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re really set on a highly portable and discreet unit, check out our catalog of wax pen vaporizers<\/a> instead!<\/p>\n

\"Smokeski<\/p>\n

Overall Experience<\/h3>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Smokeski is a fine e-rig and for the price is a decent deal. While we prefer the finesse and quality that premium units such as the Puffco Peak Pro and Focus V Carta<\/a> provides, we\u2019re well satisfied with the Smokeski.<\/span><\/p>\n

All in all, it\u2019s a great unit which hits the mark well in many areas! Though you won\u2019t find us reaching for it often over The Core or Peak Pro, we can see how it\u2019s a perfect unit for most wax enthusiasts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Alternatively if you’re looking for a hard hitting setup for concentrates but cant deal with the lack of portability a desktop rig offers, feel free to check out the Utillian 5 vaporizer<\/a>.<\/p>\n
