How To Add Chimney Extension To SMOK TFV8 Baby Beast Tank

Due to the SMOK TFV8 tanks that are sold in regions under the EU regulations, the capacity of the tank is restricted to holding just 2ML of ejuice. You may be wondering why the None EU edition and the EU edition of the SMOK TFV8 vape tank looks the identical. SMOK have cleverly reduced the tanks capacity by increasing the diameter of the coils. You will notice that the EU edition coils are much bulkier compared to the regular versions of the same coil. The extra space consumed by the coil itself reduced the tanks capacity of around 50%. Now, if you are living in the UK you will notice that the EU edition coils for the TFV8 baby beast tank only come in a pack of three and are very expensive to purchase for your Rechargeable eCig.

Personally, I don’t understand why the EU has regulated all vape tanks to be sold only as 2 ML in certain parts of the world, I just can’t seem to justify this change. If users want to vape more, they will simply either buy more e-liquid and fill up the tank more frequently. So, the consumption will be the same like a regular full sized vape tank, you will just have to fill up more often. If you are from the US, then you don’t need to worry about the restricted tank capacity which is great.

I found the best way to get around the unnecessary 2ML restriction is to purchase the extension chimney piece or use a simple Disposable eCig. It is a small metal screw on part that makes the length of the standard chimney in your SMOK tank longer. This means you can stop using the expensive EU edition coils and purchase the standard sized coils. You can pick up the extension part on Ebay or Amazon for a few bucks. Your local vape shop is also most likely to stock these.

Testing the performance of the SMOK TFV8 EU edition vape tank with the extension piece fitted in, there was no difference to the performance. This provided me to use standard coils and in the long term I found this to be much cheaper. You get the full 4ml capacity out of the tank, so you don’t have to keep refilling. Also, it reduces the chances of you burning the cotton if you are vaping on empty tank, as with having a 4ML tank it will hold more vape e-liquid. Installing the extension part is very simple, its best to install it once you have no e-juice left in the tank.

SMOK TFV8 BABY BEAST EXTENSION CHIMNEY PART

1) To make the process easier, its best to remove the vape tank from the mod. You don’t want to take the tank apart and have the e-liquid leaking all over the 510 connector.

2) Head to a nearby sink either in your bathroom or kitchen. Unscrew the bottom base from the top part of the vape tank.

3) Drain any remaining e-liquid from the glass by tipping it into the sink.

4) Remove the glass part from the top part of the tank. Give all the metal parts a clean under cold water and wipe them dry using a towel.

5) Get the SMOK TFV8 extension piece and screw it onto the top part of the exiting chimney. Make sure its fitted nice and tight as you may run into leaking issues if its slightly loose.

6) Place the glass back onto the top part of the tank. Screw in your none EU coil head into the TFV8 coil base. Pour a few drops of e-liquid into the centre and side wicking holes to get the cotton wet to prevent any first-time dry hits. Then screw the top part with the glass back onto the bottom part, again make sure it’s nice and tight.

7) Due to you installing a brand-new coil, its best to prime it following the proper procedure that SMOK recommend in their user manual and website. I always recommend before use that you fill the tank to the top and allow it to sit for a full 15 minutes. This will provide sufficient time for the juice to reach the cotton in the coil and allow it to get completely soaked up. Failing to follow this procedure could result in your coil tasting burnt. Once its tastes bad, you will have to throw it away and replace it. You won’t be able to get rid of the nasty taste even if you clean it.

Adding the extension chimney piece to your restricted 2ML SMOK TFV8 baby beast tank brings back its fully capacity that it was originally designed for. You will now benefit from cheaper coils and you also don’t have to fill it up as often.
