The front of the RPM80 Pro is flat, with a firing button, the OLED display and buttons to adjust the wattage and menu settings. ohm DC MTLis a traditional design but dual coil construction will provide a larger heating area for more efficient vaping. The included RPM and RGC (conical) mesh coils are plug and play within their respective pod designs, both of which are also in the kit. I should have got in touch with Vape Club as most of the packet were wasted, but I didn't in the end.

Powered by a single external 18650 battery, the RPM80 Pro can handle up to 80w, fully adjustable in 1w increments. Most of the coils were flawless, however some didn't prime very well, and essentially burnt on the first pull. The wattage (as well as battery life, coil resistance and even a puff counter) is displayed on a nifty little 0. There’s a wide selection of mesh coils as well as classic Kanthal builds and even Stainless Steel coils for Temperature Control vaping. There is a standard version of the RPM80, but I opted for the Pro purely because I prefer external battery devices and this is the only real difference between the two.Featuring an upgraded battery, the capacity sits at an impressive 3000mAh, providing plenty of flavor and vaping at the touch of a button. Between the bold colors and contrasts, the flawless build quality and effortless operation, the RPM80 might just be the most attractive pod/AIO device on the market — a bold statement in a market dominated by Lost Vape products. With the pod removed, you can see the two pins inside the device which connect to the coil in the pod once attached. Our guide on vaping styles, explains the differences between mouth-to-lung (MTL) vaping and direct-to-lung (DTL) vaping.

For the Mesh and Triple coil options, we recommend 60% and 70% VG e-liquids, while the DC MTL, Quartz and SC editions will perform best with high PG e-liquids of 50% PG and above. If you’re using either the LG HG2 or HE4, both of these models will be fine as they’re 20A/30A batteries. We also advise not to use any e-liquid with more than 6mg of nicotine, as your vapour may taste harsh.

The menu is easy to navigate via the buttons and even has an option to change the colour of the text on the display. I might lean toward the stabwood options, but make no mistake, SMOK is positioning the RPM series toward more mature sensibilities, and far away from their often-overdone 18650 mods. Input your battery type and the wattage you intend to vape at and our calculator will work out the correct CDR value battery that you require. Please ensure that your batteries can handle the extra power requirements, and that your mod can handle the amps.

The adjustable airflow is exactly as you’d expect – wide open is super airy, closed off is a nice restrictive DTL.From power to flavor to ridiculous vapor production, the RPM80 might be the best crossover in a long while. Excellent coils, gives a great fresh taste for around 5-7days, and I’m an ex smoker who vapes from the second I wake up till just before sleeping. While you’ve mentioned the mAh of the battery you’re using the more important parameter is the CDR value (Amps) or the maximum current the battery is capable of outputting. Featuring the latest technology and built to a high standard, Smok coils are the perfect option for both MTL and DTL vaping. They require more vaping experience to use safely, and extra care should be taken when using a sub ohm tank.
