The Smoktech Magneto is the nicest Chinese made mods I have seen. Its also the only mod from China that has a fully working magnetic button.
Right off the bat you can see that SmokTech took great pride in this to go through the work of putting their name on the side adding to their own cost. This is unusual of a Chinese mode maker.
The top cap features a brass contact. It works well the only change I would like see is that the magneto center pin is adjustable. Make sure that you understand this does not move up or down but is static. It does fit, Protanks, RSST and a few other random items but not Kanger Horizontal Coil Cartomizers. So keep this in mind.
The top cap is very well made again everything looks great, the center pin should be adjustable to really take this smoktech magneto mod over the top.
You can see here that the contact points have recessed magnets, this is the secret to the magic of the Magneto.
A better look at the magnetic button.
The threads are very nice, not what I was expecting.
The locking mechanism was superior to that of the Sigelei 19. This lock actually spins backwards, its a super smooth locking mechanism and I never find myself over screwing the lock. With the Sigelei 19 it was messy and sometimes the button would fall off or I would accidentally let the battery slide out.
Also notice how in a locked position it extends past the button itself. It sets very stable on a desk for this reason. Well done!
In a working position.
The throw is smooth and damn near perfect and I have not had a single misfire since using it.
A spider, I am not sure what it means.
As request a Smoktech Mageneto and RSST merged together in a natural setting.
Hello Sun-vapers,
Thank you for your blog post. I have a RSST and a #19. I want to change it for a better mech and I think this may be the one. Would it be possible to post a picture in a natural setting with the RSST attached in an upright position? I am very excited either way!
Thank you so much.
If you have your comment set to receive replies I have done this for you.
Great review! I’m glad my vape budget has been close to $0 over the last few months. This seems like a great contender for a mech purchase.
Hows the pressure of the button? Would I be able to stand it up unlocked with say, an RSST on top and not have it be firing?
Yes it holds the weight. I am going to make a youtube video next showcasing this.
what is the price for kanger protank 2 and shoketach magneto.when are you going to get them on your wed site to order?
shoketech magneto is a mechanical ?
The Protank II will cost about $19.99 and the SmokTech is Mechanical.
Can you please verify that the magneto works with the AGA-T2. I can’t get it to fire up. It screws down nice and tight with no gap, but it not working. I verify the the Magneto is work with my cartomizer. very disappointed if it don’t work with a AGA-T2
I dont believe it makes contact the first run appears to be built around the RSST.
Adjust the center pin on the AGA-T2 since it has an adjustable center pin and fires perfectly! been vaping it all morning.
Can i just buy a magnetic button with the spider sign
Would a Nimbus Atomizer work with the Magneto?
Can the Sigelie Kick fit in there with an 18500 or 18350? I read a review where the guy had to sand the edges of his kick for it to fit
Does the Magneto Mod fit the Kick clone with an 18490 battery? I hear it can only if u sand the edges of the kick but that seems like it wouldnt be worth the time. Just curious because I just purchased the Mod from you and have a Kick on the way. Thanks for great service as always
Hello! Do you have any pictures of the Smok Magneto with a Protank? I just got a Dbox Puritank and if the protank looks nice… the puritank should be just as nice. Thank you Jo
He showed it in the video.. using… a Protank. :/
Hey. Just wondering if this mech works with the Nimbus Atomizer and the Igo-L?
I would play it safe and hold off until the first sold start touching down.
STELLAR images shown of this mod! Just wanted to say nice job!! =)
The magneto does work with the AGA-T2 since it has an adjustable center pin on the atomizer. I Adjusted mine and it fires great and makes great contact. And it does work perfectly with the IGO-L also was vaping it all day yester and vaping it with the AGA-T2 now with agent orange from the famous mad murdock.
My locking mechanism won’t screw off and stay in a locked position. I try locking it and the entire bottom unscrews off that little ring isnt unscrewing at all or moving a bit. The entire firing button is coming off instead of unscrewing into the locking position…how come?
nevermind I got the counter turn to work just re watched your video haha, my bad…loving the Mod especially with my Kick in there hits like a beast
I’d like to know if I could use the fuison kit nat-1 for the natural?
Hi there,
Without me carrying the product mentioned I would not know how to be able to tell maybe someone else reading will reply.
That is one nice looking mod!
should the positive end of battery be pointed to the drip tip or the button? I just watch two different reviews and each had to battery in different positions and worked

If you place the battery upside down you run the risk of heating up the spring first on most mods. Conservatively speaking I think its wiser to keep the positive side of the battery facing towards the atomizer itself.
just wanted to say if you didnt know what the spider was for, this mod is greatly showing relativity to Marvel. the spider on the bottom is related to spiderman, the design on top resembles the xmen logo, the name is magneto, the “magneto” font is similar to the comic, and the date 1939 is the same year marvel comics was founded.
All I have to say is wow and thanks!
Hi Ed do you.plan on carrying parts for this mod in the near future? I’m also curious if rba’s like the ithaka clone or the Russian 91% would fit and fire on it? Thanks for all the solid info you put on your site.
I am playing it by ear parts wise. So far I have no requests for parts and they built it in a way where its hard to break anything. One of the themes behind the product was that it last a long time. (magnents vs springs, non adjustable center pin etc)
I was wondering if you have parts yet my button came out when I tried to lock it and I lost the brass fitting that holds the spider button in?
I am sorry because these mods have such short runs we do not carry spare parts.
Hi Edward, I’m new to vaping and I just got my first one. It’s Kangertech Protank II and Ego twist battery. What else do I need if buy the the Magneto..
Like for example AW battery, etc…thanks
Well tell me what you already have and I will tell you what is missing. You will need an AW battery a charger and an atomizer. (Protank II works on this) And of course the eliquid.
can you change the contact pin to silver?
its a static pin, but on Todd ecigreviews for the magneto. He shows a way to rig it to change pins, but at risk of damaging mod, if done improperly (which he warns you may happen in his review). Plus if you try to change pins you need to find a place that sells silver screws or plates screws with silver.
I have this mod.when I went to screw my friends rsst down like you have in the photo it would not screw down..any thoughts?
Can you screw other atomizers to the magneto. Some of the RSSTs were sent out with bad 510 threads. Out of 100 RSST I had I had 40% fail to screw on to anything and another 10% that was a stiff fit. Smok sent me 50 new RSST bases to fix this. This was a global thing so it was not just me who had this issue. Lets eliminate the magneto first.
Yes I have my aga t2 and my I atty and sting ray on it.all went on like butter . So Im sure it’s not the mod. But my friends rsst fits well on the K100
Yes the RSSTs some of them would fit other mods and not fit others which made it more complicated.
Does the Magneto need an adapter to run the Kanger T3 or T3S? Does that type of fitting have a name?
I have only been able to find one or two places selling thread heads, so I am not certain that they are needed…
I am currently using the Ego-T APV Mod, which I love, but have found the control heads aren’t lasting very long, and becoming hard to replace.
Thank you!
You will need a 510 to ego adapter. Find one from a good source as they are not all equal.
ANyone know of a way to shorten the throw on the switch. Maybe a thicker nut on the base where the magnet is???
What size are the actual magnets? Rare earth kind?
thx!
Do you happen to know if this will work with the AGI?
The newest version will. I will have it restocked in a few days and it will have a floating pin.
Cool thanks
Merry Christmas Edward! Stupid question, I have always used a twist, does this come with a battery? Hang tough, I am in retail and sometime you just have to let a unreasonable customer go! Hope you have a great new year!
No it does not, but the Samsung 22R or Sony VTC3 or VTC4 will work great for below .4ohms or resistance if you want to use protanks you can do the Panasonic or Sony batteries.
I would like to WISH YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A VERY HAPPY NEW I AM A VERY HAPPY CUSTOMER YOU ARE ON TOP OF THE GAME THATS FOR SURE.I LOVE MY ORDERS FROM YOU MAKE IT TO KLAMATH FALLS OREGON VERY QUICK.
I really like that you carry the real Kanger heads, I have ran into a few problems with knock off ones and will be hitting you up in JAN. for several boxes of the 2.5
I look forward to your continued business.

I NOW NEED I GOOD ADDY MOD (KAYFUN) OR SOMETHING MAYBE YOU CAN HELP ME OUT WITH HINT HINT . THANK YOU AGAIN
I have 4 Pro-Tanks, 2 are mini’s and I have the wire, but how do you make a cotton one? same setup just use cotton instead of a wick? Do you roll it to look like a wick? and does it last as long?
Thanks…. – Chas
I am by far not an expert but I believe your roll it to look like a wick and insert it into a wrap that was made with a drill bit and heat treated. Hopefully another blogger can better answer your question.
I am also new to the Vapor world Edward I have a Winder 1300mah VV batery and a new protank three dual coil from Kanger. I have been having a lot of problems with charging my winder it just doesnt charge like it used to .Would a magneto + the batteries work with the new protank 3 dual coil or would I have to thread my own “Wick” in order to use a Magneto by Smoktech???Thanks Ken G.
Yes but I strongy suggest you get an aerotank base to keep from blocking the air holes.
Also love my pass-thru’s JoyTech 2600 MaH’s and ITaste MVP the JoyTeK eVic tells and sets everything and you can adjust voltage/wattage plus much more. The MVP adjusts volts and watts plus pass thru and can even charge your phone from it. For an atomizer I have found the Pro Tanks (Glass) to be the best, atty heads fairy cheap for a pack of 5 under $6 and if used with the same liquid , 300 puffs easy, then you can clean also if you don’t burn it up. The mini’s are good but you can also get a Pro-Tank 1 or 2 and fill half way to give you a chance to clean and not waste juice, If you like menthol at all V2’s Green mint tea is great. Then Organic “Butter Cream mint or Organic Vanilla Custard is great in the morning, Still looking for a good coconut cream. Best though isa finding a atomizer that is easy to fill, esy to clean and doesn’t leak. So far the Pro Tanks are close.Stay away from devices that you can’t get atomizer replacements for yet. Always check if parts are available, even if on Amazon or elsewhere, -Good Luck and let me know if you find something good. – Chas
OK, are the “real” Kanger Pro-Tank 2.5 heads in now? and with a variable voltage/wattage pass thru, what is best, 1.8, 2.2 or 2.5 or pulling the top of the head off and adding a thicker wick on top of the wind, then cutting to size?
Why did you put “real” in quotes?
Hey I lost the magnets for the magneto mod, does anyone know where I can find them or what size they are so I can replace?? Im going crazy without my vape!!!!
Look up neodymium magnets they come in all shapes and sizes.
