TheSmok Alien AL85 Box Mod Kit is the more compact version of the very popular 220W Alien Kit. It includes a portable AL85 box mod with 85 watts of output and the same TFV8 Baby tank.

The AL85 mod in this kit looks very familiar with the same zinc alloy construction and smooth colorful lines.  It is available in black/gun metal stripe, black/champagne gold stripe, black/red stripe and silver/silver stripe.  The mod is very portable with dimensions of just 71mm x 48mm x 27mm and a weight of only 120g.  And, it’s ergonomic with a comfortable feel that can be easily held in one hand.

The OLED of the AL85 is located on the front of the device and is encircled by the device’s slanted lines, making it really stand out.  The menu is indistinguishable from the previous Alien mod with the same easy to read layout.  On the menu, you will see current battery level, power/temperature, voltage, resistance, amperage, mode, coil type and puff counts in a vertical orientation.

Underneath the screen, there are two adjustment buttons to easily change settings.  To allow for the mini mod’s tiny form factor, the fire trigger is smaller, but similar in detail.  It is a stealth trigger to make it hidden and to give the device a more streamlined look.

The box mod is powered by a single external 18650 battery.  Gaining access to the battery is performed by conveniently unscrewing the battery cap next to the spring-loaded 510 connection bezel at the top.  With only one cell, the AL85 mod is capable of 85 watts of power, temperature control from 100 to 315 degrees Celsius and resistance down to 0.10ohm in power mode or 0.06ohm during variable temperature operation.  The small device can be run in variable wattage mode, three programmable memory modes, temperature control modes and features a hard/normal/soft setting for a more customized drawing effect as soon as the device is fired.

The AL85 box mod is a firmware upgradable device, so you will always be up to date with future technology.  Operating system updates are done using the USB port which also doubles as a charging port for charging the battery while inside the unit.

Overall, if you liked the alien kit and want the same performance in a smaller setup, the AL85 mod with Baby Beast Tank should be a satisfactory bundle to use while on  the go.
