SMOK G-Priv Refillable Vape Pod Kit

Eighty watts from a pod kit with a colour touchscreen. That is not a combination you see often. The SMOK G-Priv pairs a 2500mAh battery with adjustable wattage from 5W to 80W, LP2 mesh coil compatibility, adjustable airflow, and a 2ml TPD-compliant refillable pod in a zinc alloy body that feels more like a mod than a pod system. 

You fill it with your own e-liquid, swap coils when they wear out, and control the output through a responsive touchscreen on the front panel. Six colours. 

If you have outgrown basic pod kits and want genuine wattage control without jumping to a full box mod and tank setup, the G-Priv sits right in that gap. Over 18s only. Browse the full SMOK Vapes range at Pirate Vapes.

Why vapers choose this:

• 80W from a device that still fits in your hand. Most pod kits top out at 25W or 30W. The G-Priv pushes to 80W, which means genuine DTL vapour production with the right coil. Not a toy wattage range.

• Colour touchscreen for wattage control without menus. Tap, adjust, vape. No five-click sequences, no scrolling through settings. The screen shows wattage, resistance, battery level, and puff counter at a glance.

• LP2 mesh coils deliver proper sub-ohm flavour. The LP2 platform is shared across several SMOK devices, so coil availability is not an issue. Mesh heating for even distribution, dense vapour, and a flavour profile that holds up across the coil's lifespan.

• 2500mAh battery handles a full day of sub-ohm vaping. At lower wattages, you can stretch it comfortably into a second day. USB-C at 1.4A charges faster than the older SMOK kits that ran on Micro USB.

• Zinc alloy body built to survive pockets and bags. Not plastic. The G-Priv has genuine weight to it, and the build quality reflects that. This is a kit designed to last.

SMOK G-Priv Pod Kit Features

A Touchscreen That Actually Works

The G-Priv's colour touchscreen is responsive and legible. Wattage adjustment is a tap and drag rather than a button sequence, which makes mid-session changes fast. The display shows your current wattage, the coil resistance, remaining battery percentage, and a puff counter. 

No hidden menus, no cycling through modes to find the one setting you actually use. Practically speaking, it turns a pod kit into something with mod-level control in a much smaller form factor.

80W in a Pod Format. Really?

Yes. Most Refillable pod Kits sit between 11W and 30W. The G-Priv goes to 80W, which puts it in the same output territory as a proper box mod. At 50W to 80W on a low-resistance LP2 mesh coil, you get warm, dense, flavour-heavy clouds that a 20W pod kit simply cannot produce. 

At 15W to 25W, the same device delivers a cooler, more restrained draw. One kit, two completely different vaping experiences depending on where you set the dial.

LP2 Coils and the SMOK Ecosystem

The G-Priv runs on SMOK's LP2 coil platform. That matters because LP2 coils are widely available, well-reviewed, and used across multiple SMOK devices. 

You are not locked into a proprietary coil that only fits one product. When a coil degrades, you press out the old one and press in a fresh LP2. No threading, no alignment issues. Grab spare Vape Coils to keep yourself covered.

Adjustable Airflow Changes the Draw

The airflow ring on the G-Priv pod lets you control how open or tight the draw feels. Wide open for a loose, airy DTL pull at higher wattages. Dialled down for a warmer, more restricted draw with more flavour concentration. Most pod kits give you one draw style, and that is it. The G-Priv lets you tune it.

Zinc Alloy, Not Plastic

The body is zinc alloy construction, not the lightweight plastic you see on most pod kits. The extra weight is noticeable in the hand, and it comes with genuine durability. The finish options range from matte to metallic to prismatic, and the build quality holds up to daily carry. This is not a device you replace in three months because the shell cracked.

SMOK G-Priv Pod Kit Colours

Six colours. The matte finishes are understated; the nano and prism options catch the light.

How to Set Up the SMOK G-Priv Pod Kit

1. Charge the device fully. Plug in the USB-C cable and let the touchscreen show 100% before first use. The 1.4A charging current gets it there faster than most pod kits.

2. Install an LP2 coil into the pod. Push the coil firmly into the base of the pod until it clicks into place. No twisting, no threading. It is a press-fit system.

3. Prime the coil with three to four drops of e-liquid. Apply the liquid directly onto the cotton visible through the coil's wicking ports. This step prevents a dry burn on the first draw.

4. Fill the pod through the side fill port. Open the silicone plug, tilt the nozzle in, and fill to just below the max line. Reseal the port firmly.

5. Insert the pod into the device and wait five full minutes. The LP2 mesh coil uses dense cotton that needs adequate time to absorb liquid from the inside. Rushing this step scorches the mesh and the coil is finished.

6. Power on the device with five quick presses of the fire button. Use the touchscreen to set your preferred wattage. Start at 25W and increase gradually until you find your sweet spot.

The Sub-Ohm Pod Kit for Vapers Who Want More Control

The G-Priv is a Vape Kit built for vapers who want adjustable wattage, sub-ohm coil performance, and airflow control without carrying a full box mod and 510 tank. It sits between a standard pod kit and a Vape Mod in both size and capability.

Best paired with High-VG E-Liquids at 70/30 or higher when running the LP2 mesh coil below 0.4ohm at 40W or above. For lower wattage use with higher-resistance LP2 coils, 50/50 or 60/40 blends work well. The adjustable airflow and wattage range mean this kit adapts to your liquid, not the other way around.

About SMOK

SMOK is one of the largest vape hardware manufacturers globally, operating under Hong Kong IVPS International Limited. The G-Priv line has been in SMOK's range for several generations, originally launching as a dual-battery touchscreen box mod before evolving into the pod format reviewed here. 

The G-Priv Pod brings that touchscreen heritage into a smaller, more accessible form factor while keeping the wattage range and build quality that defined the original. 

SMOK's product catalogue spans pod kits, mods, tanks, and coils, with the LP2 coil platform serving as the shared connection across their newer pod devices.

Stock Up and Save

The G-Priv is a one-time purchase. The ongoing cost is coils and liquid. Picking up a spare pack of LP2 mesh coils alongside the kit means you are covered for the first few weeks without a second order. A fresh coil every one to two weeks keeps the flavour clean and the performance consistent. 

Every order from Pirate Vapes ships same day before 4 pm, tracked and in padded packaging to protect the device during transit. Age-verified checkout, over 18s only. Spend over £40 and delivery is free with Free Pirate Post.

Conclusion

The SMOK G-Priv Pod Kit is a sub-ohm pod system with mod-level features packed into a pocketable zinc alloy body. A 2500mAh battery, 5W to 80W adjustable output, a responsive colour touchscreen, LP2 mesh coils, and adjustable airflow give you a level of control that most pod kits cannot match.

Six colour options, USB-C fast charging, and a build quality that justifies the price. If you want more from a pod kit without going full mod, the G-Priv is SMOK's answer. Browse vape accessories or explore everything at Pirate Vapes.

FAQs

What coils does the G-Priv use?

LP2 mesh coils. Press-fit installation, no threading. The LP2 platform is shared across several SMOK pod devices, so coil availability is wide.

What e-liquid works best with the G-Priv?

High-VG blends at 70/30 or 80/20 work best with the sub-ohm LP2 coils at higher wattages. For lower wattage use with higher-resistance coils, 50/50 or 60/40 performs well.

How long does the battery last?

The 2500mAh battery handles a full day of sub-ohm vaping for most users. Lower wattage extends it further. USB-C at 1.4A charges it reasonably quickly.

Is the G-Priv a good upgrade from a basic pod kit?

If you are using a 15W to 20W pod kit and want more vapour, more flavour, and actual wattage control, the G-Priv is a natural step up without the complexity of a full box mod and tank setup.

What is the pod capacity?

2ml under UK TPD regulations. The pod is refillable and reusable until the coil needs replacing.

Does the touchscreen drain the battery?

Minimally. The screen activates when you fire the device or tap it, and it dims after a few seconds. The 2500mAh battery is sized to handle both the screen and the sub-ohm output without significant drain from the display alone.
