Taste not at all smoky, very minimal indeed, in order to achieve a smoky effect you can do it in two ways, one is at 60+ watts and the other is if you have a mod with an indication of new or old coil and it reads it as 0.4ohm instead of 0.27 ohm, then you have a smoky effect, but I don't know what damage can be done in the second case with the ohms. In the first case, with the watts, the company's measurements for a healthier vaping have been done in the range of 40-50 watts, where it is weak in terms of smoke, so what happens if you use it at 60+ watts? Will the plates it has withstand up to 1000000 puffs at 60+ or will they give up on us? Many questions. Very innovative idea, but I believe that Joyetech did not conduct a thorough study on this particular atomizer. Also, I noticed leaks from the thread that connects to the mod, it has a golden screw that broke as soon as I tightened it. It still needs work. The above applies to the Smok X Priv mod. As soon as I saw a friend's review, I bought another mod, the Vaporesso Arour Pro. The atomizer was completely different and excellent in terms of smoke and taste. I really lost it, now why does this happen? They probably don't match, who knows? I forgot to mention that I vape it at 47 watts on both mods. The differences are incredible, as well as the leaks
