Smok RPM 100 POD kit
Manufacturers of vape devices are constantly competing with each other, trying not only to attract customers, but also to gain their trust. Of course, from time to time small companies appear, which, having released two or three quite interesting devices, disappear as suddenly as they appear. But there are also the “mastodons” of the vape market, which not only keep their positions, but also constantly gain momentum, presenting more and more new devices. It is to the category of “mastodons” can be safely attributed the company Smok, which regularly produces new devices. After the compact submods became in particular demand among vapers, the company released its device RPM, which became a real hit of sales. Deciding once again to play on the popularity of this series, the developers presented the Smok RPM 100 POD kit.
General Data
Smok RPM 100 POD kit is quite a big size submod, designed to use one battery 21700/18650 and interchangeable vaporizers RPM3 and RPM2 series. Visually submod looks like a traditional box mod for one battery. We can’t say that the device is made in a small size, but it can be explained by the possibility of installing the battery size 21700. The device is made in an ergonomic shape, provided by the semicircular one side and straight second side. The device works under the control of a proprietary chipset, through which you can get power up to 100 watts. The device cartridge is designed to install replacement vaporizers RPM3, and if you buy an additional cartridge, you can buy the RPM2. Buy Smok RPM 100 POD kit is available in five colors – gold, red, rainbow, blue and gray.
Equipment
Almost all devices from the company Smok are equipped similarly, but the vaper gets everything he needs for trouble-free use of the device. In the box the vaper waits:
– RPM 100 Device battery pack;
– RPM 85/100 Empty Pod (RPM 3 Coil);
– RPM 3 Meshed 0.15Ω Coil;
– RPM 3 Meshed 0.23Ω Coil Vaporizer
– Adapter for 18650 Batteries;
– USB Type-C cable;
– User’s Manual.
RPM 100 Device Battery Pack
After the vape market appeared pod-mods, many manufacturers, as well as vapers, at first treated them rather skeptically, but after a while they not only became popular, but also began to steadily displace the traditional box-mods. Smok immediately responded to such market trends and released a real hit – RPM sub-mod, which became the first in the line of devices of the same name. Despite the fact that the company offers about a dozen RPM series devices, the developers have not stopped, so the light saw a new device – Smok RPM 100 POD kit.
At first glance Smok RPM 100 POD kit looks not like a sub-mod, but like a full-fledged “one-bar”, because its form factor is quite traditional – it is a rectangular device, with a rounded one side and a flat second. Due to this form-factor, the device sits perfectly in the hand and has good ergonomics. It’s hard to call the sub-mod small – 136*36*29 mm, but such dimensions can be explained by the supported battery size. The device weighs 136 grams, but such weight is based on the fact that the body is made of galvanized alloy.
The sub-mod is designed to use one 21700/20700/18650 traditional replacement battery (with the help of an adapter), installed from below under the hinged lid. If necessary, you can charge the battery using the USB Type-C connector, located under the control buttons, 1.5A current.
Powered Smok RPM 100 POD kit under the control of proprietary chipset, through which the vaper will get at its disposal Varivatt with a maximum capacity of 100 watts and support vaporizers resistance of 0.15 ohms. Operation is as simple and intuitive as possible. The device is equipped with a 0.96 inch color display on which you can find a standard set of information about the operation of the device.
RPM 85/100 Pod cartridge
Smok RPM 100 POD kit was presented with a similar device RPM 85 POD kit, so both devices use the same cartridges held in the battery pack by strong magnets. The cartridge supplied with the device is designed to use RPM3 vaporizers, but if the vaper wants to use a wider range of RPM2 vaporizers, the cartridge to install them will have to buy separately.
The RPM 85/100 POD cartridge installs RPM3 series vaporizers, and it comes with two – 0.23 and 0.15 ohms. Both are on mesh, so you won’t have any problems with flavor or bulk. In order to set the draw level, you just need to rotate the ring at the base of the cartridge, and it has a fairly tight stroke, so you can set the blowback quite accurately. Filling the cartridge is very simple – you just need to slide the top tank lid in a straight line and pour 6 ml of liquid into the hole equipped with a check valve.
Conclusions and impressions
Smok RPM 100 POD kit will be a real find for many vapers, because it can surely replace the single battery box mod. The device is self-contained, easy to use, easy to maintain and versatile in terms of installed vaporizers, so it is a pleasure to use.
