To clean your 510 connectors, dip a cotton swab into isopropyl alcohol, and gently swab away any e-liquid buildup and condensation gunk from the pins and connection points. [2] X Research source

If you’re still getting resistance/ohm errors, make sure the screws are tight if you’re using the RBA coil. If possible, try inserting the tank into another mod to see if the same problem occurs. If the tank works in another device, the problem is not the tank. Similarly, try inserting a different tank into your main mod.

If your SMOK mod has a touch screen (like the SMOK G-Priv 2), you can tap the settings icon or Menu on the home screen. [3] X Research source For other mods, including the SMOK Alien, Mag, X-Priv, and Procolor, press the Fire button 3 times to open the menu. [4] X Research source For mods without elaborate full-screen menus, including the SMOK Nord, Morph 2, Scar, RPM, & Rigel, you can reset the puff counter by pressing the Fire and Down (left) buttons at the same time.

If your mod displays “max puff” or “puff over” errors once you reach a certain puff count, you’ll also have the option of increasing the puff setting or placing your vaping plan into Never mode. [6] X Research source

The steps may vary slightly by model, but should work on some of the more popular models including Alien, Procolor, Mag, Veneno, E-Priv, and X-Priv.

For some models, including Veneno and Alien, you should only have to hold down the Up and Down buttons. Other models may also require you to press the Fire button at the same time.

Some mods may automatically reset if you leave the batteries out for an extended period of time.

Most people will not need to update the firmware unless SMOK notifies you that an update is available. [8] X Research source If your device has firmware that can be updated, you’ll typically see the firmware version on the screen right when you power up the mod. Make sure you’re downloading a later version of the firmware than what you have now. There are still two firmware download links available on SMOK’s website: Alien: https://www. smoktech. com/faq/270 G-Priv2: Visit https://www. smoktech. com/faq/365 The package you download contains NuMicro ISP Programming Tool, the firmware updating tool, and the actual firmware for your model. Don’t attempt to install another mod’s firmware on your mod, as you can permanently destroy it.

Connect one end of the cable to the mod. Press and hold the Fire button as you plug the other end of the cable into the computer. According to SMOK’s instructions, you’ll also need to continue holding the Fire button while you perform the entire upgrade, though some Reddit users were able to update without holding the button. [9] X Research source If you don’t have the USB cable that came with your mod, you’ll need to make sure you’re using a USB cable that has data transfer capabilities. If the cable can only charge your mod, it won’t work.

Once the firmware is updated, you’ll see “PASS” at the bottom. At this point, you can close the tool and replace the batteries in your mod.
