SMOK R-Kiss 2 Starter Kit

SMOK R-Kiss 2 Starter Kit

200W of output from a twin-18650 mod, wired to the TFV18 Mini tank for proper direct-to-lung clouds. The SMOK R-Kiss 2 is a sub-ohm kit for vapers who have outgrown pod devices and want power they can feel.

It runs from 5W to 200W, tops up over USB-C at 2A, and arrives with two V18 Mini coils: a Dual Meshed 0.15ohm for warm, dense vapour and a Meshed 0.33ohm built for flavour. A 1.3-inch colour screen keeps wattage, battery level and puff count in front of you. One of the more capable Vape Mods at this price. Batteries sold separately.

Why vapers choose this:

• Real 200W on tap. Dual 18650 cells give the R-Kiss 2 the current draw that single-battery kits simply cannot match, which matters if you like a warm, high-wattage draw.

• Two coils, two moods out of the box, so you can test dense clouds against sharper flavour before buying more.

• USB-C at 2A means faster top-ups than the old Micro USB kits, though external charging is still the safer habit.

• That colour screen is genuinely useful. Battery level, wattage and puff count, all readable at a glance.

• Replaceable batteries mean the kit outlives its cells. When the 18650s tire, you swap them, not the whole device.

SMOK R-Kiss 2 Features

Two Batteries Do the Heavy Lifting

The R-Kiss 2 runs on dual 18650 cells rather than a sealed internal battery. Two removable cells hold more charge than most built-in packs and, when they eventually wear down, you replace them for a few pounds instead of binning the mod. Grab a matched, married pair of 18650 Vape Batteries and an external charger to keep it running for years.

How Fast Does It Charge?

USB-C at 2A, which is a real upgrade over the Micro USB ports SMOK used on older kits. A flat pair of cells tops back up in reasonable time. That said, charging 18650s in an external cradle is gentler on the batteries and lets you keep a spare set ready. Worth the extra fifteen quid, honestly.

The TFV18 Mini Pulls Its Weight

Straight bottom-to-top airflow, three adjustable intake slots, and a push-button top fill that swivels open so you are not unscrewing anything mid-refill. The TFV18 Mini is the compact sibling of SMOK's full-size TFV18, and it feeds the V18 Mini mesh coils enough air for a properly open direct-to-lung draw. Good match for high-VG juice in the DTL Tanks style.

Read Everything at a Glance

A 1.3-inch TFT colour screen shows wattage, resistance, battery status and puff count. The interface is deliberately simple. No wading through menus to change a setting. SMOK built this generation around a cleaner layout, and it shows the moment you pick it up.

Built to Take a Knock

Eight onboard protections cover short circuit, overheat, over-discharge, and the rest. The chassis feels solid in the hand, the fire bar has a firm click, and the 510 connection is spring-loaded. This is a kit designed to live in a pocket and still work after a rough week.

SMOK R-Kiss 2 Colours

Six finishes in the range. Two-tone options if you want a bit of contrast, plainer tones if you would rather it stayed quiet.

How to Set Up the SMOK R-Kiss 2

Ten minutes of patience now saves a scorched coil later. Do not rush the soak.

1. Press and swivel the top cap to expose the fill port on the TFV18 Mini.

2. Drip five to six drops of e-liquid straight onto the exposed cotton of a fresh coil.

3. Press-fit the coil firmly into the tank base until it seats with a click.

4. Fill with a high-VG e-liquid, then close the top cap.

5. Stand the kit upright and leave it completely alone for a full ten minutes, letting the mesh drink the juice through before it ever sees power.

6. Insert charged cells, start at low wattage and climb in small steps until the draw feels right.

What's in the SMOK R-Kiss 2 Box

The kit ships with:

• the R-Kiss 2 mod,

• the TFV18 Mini tank,

• a pre-installed 0.33ohm Meshed coil and a spare 0.15ohm Dual Meshed coil,

• a USB-C cable,

• spare parts and glass,

• plus the manual.

No 18650 batteries are included, and there is no e-liquid in the box. You supply both. Pirate Vapes stocks compatible cells and juice to complete the setup in one order.

Made for the V18 Mini Coil Series

The TFV18 Mini is engineered around SMOK's V18 Mini coil platform. The included Dual Meshed 0.15ohm suits warm, cloud-heavy vaping, while the Meshed 0.33ohm leans toward flavour at a slightly lower power. A 0.2ohm option is also available for a milder, cooler draw. Stock up on spares from the wider Replacement Vape Coils range so you are never caught with a burnt head and nothing to swap in.

Do not force older SMOK Mini V2 or Baby V2 heads in here expecting them to seat the same way. This tank was built for the V18 Mini series, and matching the coil to the tank is what keeps the flavour clean.

About SMOK

SMOK has been a fixture of UK sub-ohm vaping for over a decade, and the R-Kiss line is one of its more sensible mod families. Where some SMOK kits chase spectacle, the R-Kiss 2 keeps things practical: dependable dual-18650 power, the well-regarded TFV18 Mini tank, and the IQ-S chip driving a stripped-back interface.

The V18 Mini coils carry over the mesh-heating approach SMOK is known for, spreading heat across a wider surface for steadier flavour. Browse the full SMOK Range for coils, tanks and matching hardware.

Stock Up and Save

A sub-ohm kit gets through coils and juice faster than a pod device, so it pays to plan ahead. Keep a couple of spare V18 Mini coils and a fresh set of cells on the shelf, and you will never lose a day to a dead battery or a tired head.

Pirate Vapes ships every order the same day when it is placed before 4 pm, packed to survive the journey. Age-verified checkout, over-18s only, and all hardware is TPD compliant. Spend over £40 and delivery is on us with Free Pirate Post.

Conclusion

The SMOK R-Kiss 2 is a straightforward, high-power sub-ohm kit that does the fundamentals well: 200W of dual-battery output, a capable TFV18 Mini tank, two coils to get you started, and a colour screen that keeps everything readable. It suits vapers who want real DTL clouds and the flexibility to replace batteries rather than the whole device.

Pair it with high-VG juice, keep spare coils handy, and it will serve you a long time. Explore the kit alongside Vape Accessories and the rest of the range at Pirate Vapes.

FAQs

Does the R-Kiss 2 come with batteries?

No. It needs two 18650 cells, sold separately. Use a matched, married pair and charge them in an external charger for the best lifespan.

What coils does the R-Kiss 2 take?

The V18 Mini series. It ships with a 0.33ohm Meshed and a 0.15ohm Dual Meshed, with a 0.2ohm also available.

Is the R-Kiss 2 MTL or DTL?

Direct-to-lung, firmly. The mesh coils and open airflow are built for warm clouds, not a tight cigarette-style pull.

How much juice does the R-Kiss 2 tank hold?

2ml in the UK TPD version. The standard international tank holds 6.5ml, but UK stock is capped at 2ml by law.

What e-liquid should I use with the R-Kiss 2?

High-VG shortfills, ideally 70/30 or thicker. Thin 50/50 nic salt will wick too fast and can leak in a sub-ohm tank this open.

Can I really run the R-Kiss 2 at 200W?

You can, in bypass mode, but you rarely need to. The 0.15ohm coil sits happiest around 90W, so treat 200W as a ceiling rather than a target.
