After the incredible success of the Alien 220W, the fans spoke and the developers at SmokTech listened, shrinking the Alien down to single-battery size. This powerful and ultra-compact kit brings you everything you loved about the original Alien at a significantly smaller size.

Looking on the front of the box, you can see the beautiful TFV8 Baby Beast and Alien Baby combination, and on the back of the box you’ll find the entire kit contents as well as the scratch off authenticity code. Going into the box, we’re immediately greeted with some silica gel and the AL85 device. After pulling out the insert, you’ll find the battery safety caution card, a war-ranty card, the AL85 Kit instruction manual, some spare o-rings and an extra gasket, the Micro USB charge cable, a Smok vape band, a 0.6 ohm replacement kanthal coil head, and the TFV8 Baby Beast.

The SMOK AL85 Kit with TFV8 Baby Tank is an incredibly compact 85W Temperature Control device that’s constructed out of a Zinc Alloy, measuring an impressive 71mm tall, 48mm long, and 27mm wide. When com-pared to the almost completely identical in construction iStick Pico, the AL85 is half of a millimeter shorter, although 4mm wider. This 4mm increase in size may seem like a downside, however, Smok intentionally made the AL85 wider in order to support larger atomizers up to 25mm in diameter. Having said that, the AL85 will work wondrously for those larger tanks, whereas the Pico will inevitably fall short. When compared to its 220W big brother, it’s no surprise that the AL85 is significantly smaller than the original Alien.

On top of the device, AL85 features a Stainless threaded 510 connection that houses a spring loaded contact pin. This is also where you’ll find the threaded top battery-slot for a single 18650 battery. On the side we’ve got Smok’s extra-clicky and responsive firing bar, as well as the conveniently located Micro USB port for charging and firmware upgrades. On the back of the mod is a nifty carbon fiber design that features Smok’s AL85 branding, and the front of the device features a large OLED screen display and a single button that serves as your plus and minus regulatory buttons.

With the device powered on, the large OLED screen displays the current wattage, draw strength, battery life indicator, voltage, resistance, amperage, vape mode, board temperature, puff coun-ter and vape duration counter. Three clicks of the fire bar takes you into the main menu- here you can enable temperature control mode, access your puff counter, alter the OLED display brightness and sleep timer or power the device off.

The TFV8 Baby Beast is a powerful sub-ohm tank that’s constructed out of Stainless Steel and Pyrex glass, standing at 53mm tall and 22mm wide. This 3mL tank uses Smok’s notorious top-fill swivel cap for fast and painless filling, and features a removable heat-resistant 510 Delrin drip tip. At the base of the tank is a free-spinning dual adjustable air-flow ring with two 13x2mm air-slots and a threaded 510 connection. Pre-installed inside the Baby Beast is an impressive 0.4 ohm V8-Q2 coil head that’s rated at 40-80 watts, with a suggested best use between 55-65 watts. The V8-Q2 atomizer head features a dual vertical kanthal coil configuration, wicked with pure organic cotton and constructed with four large wicking ports for fast, rapid-paced wicking.

All-in-all, SMOK AL85 Kit with TFV8 Baby Tank proves to be a worthy successor to its larger 220W counter-part. The ultra-compact construction of the Baby Alien is ideal for pocket storage or concealed vaping in those tight spaces. This impressive 85W device makes the most of Smok’s long line of V8 Baby atomizer heads, pairing remarkably well with the TFV8 Baby Beast sub-ohm tank. If you’re looking for a new, all-in-one kit that offers some of the best technology on the market to-day, Smok’s latest AL85 TC Kit will not disappoint!
