Smok Pen Juice Fountain Review
And that means you want to buy a SOK Pen? We’ve heard of it, we’ve used it. But do we realize why it’s great? Well, to begin with, the SOK Pen has no screen. So what do we must worry about then?
The SOK Pen has a built in screen that’s protected by way of a scratch-resistant cover, but it still does not have any back light. If you’re deploying it in the dark (ideal for writing), having less back light won’t be too large an issue for you. If you are just using it as a standard wet pen, having less screen can pose a problem. There are other pens out there that have back lights, so we’ll have to see on that one.
An attribute we found pretty cool was the airflow system. The SOK Pen has a fan which can be started up with the tap of a button. This clever air flow system allows the pen to draw warm, dry air through the pen’s nib and into the reservoir which hold your liquid flavours. Cool, but does this airflow system work? It works well, and in fact, we found that it improved the flavour of our Smok Vaporizers.
It’s all well and good, if your airflow is working, but think about when it is not? Well, we noticed that with some refills, the flavour became just a little less intense. It didn’t get excellent or worse, nonetheless it Smok Novo 2 wasn’t quite as rich or creamy as it had been with the airflow activated pen. The refilling appeared to affect the consistency of the flavour, as opposed to the intensity. Maybe the airflow wasn’t working so well!
After some more research, we discovered that this problem could be fixed by switching the airflow on or off. To do this, you press and hold the “reset” button on underneath of the SOK Pen. Then click the “change” button. This will turn off the fan and activate the cooling mechanism. Also you can select “turn off micro USB” which will switch off the pen but let the e-liquid circulate.
This seems to be an issue affecting a few of the older pens. A quick explore Google returned this one, but it was only on the list of last year’s models. The newer pens seem to be using the new micro usb port, but the problem is they are utilizing a lower transfer rate. Transfer rates are measured in MB/s, or million bits/sec. If you want to get an extremely high quality e-liquid flavour, it could be best to purchase a pen that uses a higher transfer rate, such as the Vapro Fire Wire.
This can be a problem with older pens – the micro usb doesn’t release until it really is fully saturated with e-liquid, so the battery life is quite short. By turning off the fan, switching off the fire button and turning off the SOK Pen, we could actually get more juice in to the bottle without draining the reservoir. It certainly made a huge difference when filling the tank! In the end, we changed to a Smok Vaporizer instead. Although it isn’t nearly as good performing, and we didn’t like needing to continually replace the e-liquid, for the purposes this was enough!
great gift idea for any occasion, a Smok Pen is a superb choice. We have had people write us emails with compliments about our personalised pens. Most have praised the fine build and durability of the pens. They certainly live up to their name as one of the most creative and unique pens available today. So whether you’re having a special occasion, or just need to recharge your batteries, I’d highly recommend the product. The built quality and the great flavour make this a must have for anyone searching for that perfect personalised pen.
