I don't know if you've tried it but Fox Farm's Ocean Forest is a premix . I'm trying it for the first time in the Mephisto Comp I stuck a Berry Bomb in it about 2 weeks ago and so far so good . I must admit I have read some negative comments about quality control but I don't know the date of the complaint so I'm winging it Just so you know .
OF go for $25-30 around here and it's nearly as much if I bought it on Amazon and had it shipped, and I would need volume.. Besides, the soil only has enough beneficial nutes for a month and maybe a week or 2, before it's gonna need supplementation.. It's a good base soil but if you're looking long-term, layering/blending the soil is where it's at!!! I remember a couple years back OF had some inconsistencies and I'm not sure about them lately but I grew some veggies with some and they turned out well.. Apparently there were issues w/ the soil being too hot for seedlings/clones/autos from the start, and some folks had issues w/ pH shifts and such.. Like I said, no current knowledge on their soils, but from what they used to say was they were locally sourced, so they used stuff local to the region, allegedly.. 
As for smoke goes I'm at hard core skunk fan!!!! Lol
Don't tell anybody here but I'm intellectual challenged and for me anything that's premixed and all you do is add water is right up my alley . Dam it took me almost 3 years to learn how to water and still I"m never sure . I must admit the idea of mixing my own soil intrigue's me please note " idea " But it stops there .Because of guys like @hecno and @Eyes on Fire , I've been doing some experimentation and trying to find an easier way, perhaps cheaper way to generate some new soil batches so that I won't have to ever buy soil again; just re-amend using homemade compost and eventually EWCs and possibly bokashi, but I'm not quite there yet.. Bags of the
Since you're in North America, Eyes on Fire has some of the best knowledge around with stuff you should be able to order or source out.. His threads are truly gold!!!
