SMOK RPM80 & RPM 80 Pro Review: the Most Powerful Pod Mod Kit

by Martin B. · April 7, 2021

The SMOK RPM80 and RPM80 Pro Pod Mod Kits are the latest and first products made from SMOK. In the past 2019, SMOK as the leading manufacturer in the vape industry took the first step and introduced the innovative and brand-new pod mod kit – SMOK RPM40, which has swept the globe quickly. The SMOK RPM40 is still very popular on the market, and definitely the most successful pod mod kit. The RPM80 and RPM80 Pro are the upgraded and more powerful version of the SMOK RPM40 Pod Mod Kit, which are marketed as the next game-changer in the field.

The differences between RPM80 and RPM80 Pro is the battery type. The constructions and designs between them are the same. The SMOK RPM80 is driven by a built-in 3000mAh battery, and the RPM80 Pro is powered by a single 18650 battery (Sold Separately). The RPM80 Pod Mod Kit is shorter than the RPM80 Pro due to internal battery.

Build Quality and Design

The SMOK RPM80 and RPM80 Pro Pod Mod Kits are the upgrades to the pioneering RPM40, which feature the attractive and sleek design. They are much taller and wider than the precious RPM40 kit, which is also bigger than most of the pod mod kits on the market. Constructed from zinc alloy, the Kits are sturdy and solid. The well-designed pattern on both sides makes them stand out. The intuitive fire button, adjustment buttons, screen, and the USB port are lay on the front of the mod.

The RPM80 is powered by a large capacious 3000mAh battery and the RPM80 Pro is powered by a single 18650 battery (not included). The SMOK RPM80 and RPM80 Pro combine the portability of a pod system and the versatility of a Mod, making them ideal for on the go use and suitable for a beginner. They feature dual reversible airflow control systems and VW/VV mode. You can adjust the power output from 1W to 80W. Equipped with the brand new IQ-80 chipset, the SMOK RPM80, and RPM80 Pro are have upgraded many of the components from the original RPM40, which offer a variety of safety protections and smart features.

The SMOK RPM80 and RPM80 Pro introduce a new RGC Pod and 0.17ohm Conical Mesh RGC Coil. The RGC Pod makes the mesh coil a reverse funnel, which can throttle and compress the flavor and vapor directly to the taste buds for improved taste.

Pod of SMOK RPM80 & RPM 80 Pro

You will get two different pod cartridges from the package with different replacement coils – SMOK RPM pod and the SMOK RGC pod. The RPM pod is compatible with the original SMOK RPM series. The RGC pod is matched with the innovative NexMesh conical 0.17ohm coil, which is pre-installed. Both of the standard version pods can hold 5ml maximum e-liquid.

The SMOK RGC pod has a bottom adjustable airflow design, which is the first pod with adjustable airflow by SMOK. The airflow ring at the base can be rotated to adjust the airflow intake.

The brand-new 0.17ohm RGC conical mesh coil powered by nexMesh Technology features the innovative and special conical structure, which can enlarge the airflow inlet and compress the vapor when it goes through the coil to the drip tip. The RGC conical mesh coil is designed for strong and warm throat hit, massive and dense vapor production with the unparalleled burst of flavor. The coil with 0.17ohm resistance heats up fast, giving you the superior vape experience. The RPM RBA coil and RGC RBA coil will also be available for the pod, both of them are sold separately. The RBA package has a screwdriver, making it easy to build.

How to Fill the RPM80 Pod:

Remove the rubber plug and reveal the filling slot
Pour your favorite e-liquid into the filling port
Press the rubber plug back firmly
If you use the coil for the first time, you should wait at least 5min to get the coil fully saturated

Verdict

The SMOK RPM80 & RPM 80 Pro is the upgraded version of the original RPM40. They feature a more powerful battery and power output. The 80W maximum wattage output is more than sufficient for a mod pod. The newly upgraded IQ80 chip makes the RPM80 series stands out, as it provides the intelligent features and several safety protections due to the higher power output. The flavor from RPM80 and RPM80 Pro is excellent and extremely top-notch. The brand new RPM80 RGC Pod features adjustable airflow and uses the RGC Conical Mesh 0.17ohm coil that supports the power up to 80W for warm and intense flavor with massive vapor. The RPM80 RPM Pod is also compatible with all of the RPM40 coils. If you are looking for a portable and functional device, I will highly recommend you to try the SMOK RPM80 series. It will never let you down!
