Let’s start, as usual, with a brief description of the box and contents. Everything in the package turned out to be very ergonomically laid out on several levels, the box itself is made of very hard cardboard, inside is microporous foam, and a pseudo-velvet covering with recesses for parts and the device itself.

Opening the box, we find:

The Smok Guardian Pipe III device itself;

Two silicone cases in black and white (one was ordered additionally);

Two maintenance-free heads – for TC and BB (one of them was already in the tank);

Smok TFV 4 Micro tank;

A kit for increasing the tank capacity: glass and air duct extension. In an erect (enlarged) state, the capacity becomes 5.5 ml, in a normal (flaccid) state – 3.5 ml;

A manual in English, and all sorts of warranty and verification waste paper;

USB cable for firmware;

charger EGO(!) format (charging via connector), because the USB connector is under the battery, and serves only for reflashing the handset, and for some reason it was impossible to charge the battery after removing it.

serviceable head.

The Smok TFV4 Micro tank itself turned out to be quite good, except for the only drawback that I could not overcome – it leaked heavily after each refill, closing the air ducts did not help. best vape The only thing that saved me from this unpleasant phenomenon was a denser packing of cotton wool, but in this situation you need to be very careful when adjusting the power – a burn is possible. But, as I think, this is the result of my clumsy hands, rather than a defect or a design flaw in the tank.

One-button control of the electronic tube is intuitive from the first time, except for a couple of specific functions, which you should still read about in the manual… or in this review. In general, the device makes a very good impression at first glance due to its rather solid appearance and solid packaging. I was especially pleased with the two silicone cases – if you buy the same pipe, be sure to buy the same cases! The device itself is glossy, shiny and streamlined, but for some reason it seems to me that it will be very easy to scratch, the weight is comfortably heavy.

Advantages:

Relatively reasonable dimensions and weight of the device, at least in a man’s hand.

A good and simple set of settings, allowing you to make them almost without looking at the screen of the tube.

Of course, a stylish appearance.

A very good TFV4 mini tank.

One-button control, oddly enough, turned out to be very, very convenient.
