Review of SMOK Arcfox Kit
If you look closely at the devices on the vape market, there is an interesting feature that many manufacturers who started to mass produce PODs and submods, somewhat suspended their production and began to offer more and more traditional box mods and sub-mods. And one of the leaders in this industry is Smok, which recently presented several new box mods and tanks. Deciding to continue this tradition, the company presented SMOK Arcfox Kit quite an interesting starter kit that can replace the box mods and sabom tanks released earlier, as it was developed based on comments and suggestions from users. Overall, the SMOK Arcfox Kit is a stable mid-range kit that can meet the needs of most vapers.
General Information

The new box mod is made in a fairly standard form factor rectangular device with rounded corners and edges, and at the same time it has protection IP67, which will certainly appreciate the many vapers who lead an active lifestyle.
