The SMOK Rigel Starter Kit is a powerful, compact vape kit designed for adult vapers looking for adjustable power, a responsive vaping experience and the flexibility of a sub-ohm tank. Combining the SMOK Rigel 230W box mod with the SMOK TFV9 tank, this kit provides a high-powered setup with adjustable wattage and direct-to-lung (DTL) vaping.
The Rigel mod is powered by two 18650 rechargeable batteries, allowing users to adjust the output to suit their preferred vaping style. Paired with the TFV9 tank and compatible mesh coils, the kit is designed for producing substantial vapour and a flavour focused DTL experience.

SMOK Rigel 230W Mod
At the centre of the kit is the SMOK Rigel 230W mod, a high powered box mod designed for users who want greater control over their vaping output.
With adjustable wattage, you can alter the power delivered to the installed coil according to the coil's recommended range and your preferred vaping style. The device also provides a display that allows you to monitor important information and adjust settings.
The Rigel's box mod form factor provides a solid grip while its control layout makes changing settings straightforward.
Dual 18650 Battery Configuration
The SMOK Rigel is designed to operate using two 18650 rechargeable batteries. Using replaceable batteries gives adult vapers the option to carry spare compatible batteries and replace batteries when required.
Always use suitable, matched batteries from a reputable manufacturer and follow SMOK's battery safety recommendations. Do not use damaged batteries.
SMOK TFV9 Tank
The SMOK TFV9 tank is designed to complement the high powered Rigel mod. It uses dedicated TFV9 mesh coils and is intended primarily for direct-to-lung vaping.
The tank features an adjustable airflow system, allowing you to alter the airflow according to your preferred draw. The TFV9 coil system is designed to work with higher power settings and is particularly suited to adult vapers who prefer a more open DTL draw.
For UK versions, check the supplied tank specifications and packaging for the applicable TPD-compliant e-liquid capacity.
SMOK TFV9 Mesh Coils
The TFV9 uses dedicated SMOK TFV9 replacement coils. Mesh coil construction provides a larger heating surface and is designed to heat e-liquid efficiently.
Always check the wattage range printed on the individual coil before use. Start at the lower end of the recommended range and gradually adjust the power to find your preferred setting.
Replacement coils are consumable components and should be replaced when you notice reduced flavour, reduced vapour production or a persistent burnt taste.
Adjustable Airflow
The TFV9 tank features adjustable airflow, giving you control over the amount of air entering the tank during a puff.
A more open airflow can provide a more airy DTL draw, while reducing the airflow can create a more restricted draw. Your preferred setting will depend on your vaping style and the coil being used.
E-Liquid Compatibility
The SMOK Rigel Starter Kit and TFV9 tank are designed for higher powered sub-ohm vaping. As a result, they are generally more appropriate for e-liquids formulated for DTL/sub-ohm devices.
When selecting e-liquid, always check the manufacturer's recommendations for your specific coil and tank. Lower strength e-liquids are commonly used with higher powered sub-ohm setups because more vapour is produced per puff.
Do not use e-liquid containing nicotine at a concentration above the legally permitted UK limit.
Who Is the SMOK Rigel Kit Suitable For?
The SMOK Rigel Starter Kit may be suitable for adult vapers who already have experience with more powerful vape devices and want adjustable wattage with a sub-ohm tank.
It is less suited to someone looking for a simple, low powered pod system or a compact MTL setup. Users should understand battery safety, coil replacement, wattage adjustment and e-liquid compatibility before using a high-powered vape kit.

How to Use the SMOK Rigel Starter Kit
Before using the kit, make sure the batteries are correctly installed and that the tank is filled with suitable e-liquid.
- Install two compatible 18650 batteries according to the polarity markings.
- Attach the TFV9 tank securely to the Rigel mod.
- Install a suitable TFV9 coil.
- Prime a new coil with e-liquid and allow it to saturate before vaping.

- Adjust the airflow to your preferred setting.

Replacing the TFV9 Coil
Replacement coils are required periodically because coils naturally wear during use.
A coil may need replacing if you experience:
- Burnt or unpleasant flavour
- Noticeably reduced vapour production
- Reduced flavour quality
- Persistent gurgling or performance changes
When installing a new coil, always prime it properly and allow sufficient time for the e-liquid to saturate the coil before vaping.
