Review of SMOK RPM80 Pro Pod Mod Kit
Not so long ago POD-systems were something amazing and a little strange, and the purchase of a liquid based on the salt nicotine was like a holiday. But a little time has passed and the first vapers 2.0, thermometers and felt-tip kits have not only successfully sold in many vape-shops, but also have changed significantly. Today, vapers no longer want to get an uncontrollable device with little autonomy, so the emergence of All-In-One or AIO format systems was a matter of time. There are already quite a few AIO systems in this segment, but some of them are in particular demand, such as the SMOK RPM 40 Pod Mod Kit, which although vapers like it, but has certain drawbacks. To fix them, Smok decided to release the RPM80 Pro” Pod Mod Kit (although there is a suspicion that the main reason for the appearance of this device is the release of Voopoo Vinci X) more powerful, practical and functional AIO system.
General information
SMOK RPM80 Pro” Pod Mod Kit AIO-system running on removable battery 18650, equipped with modern chipset IQ-80, distinguished by the performance and functionality, and designed to use the vaporizers series RGC” and RPM. The design and form factor of the new device slightly resembles the AIO-system, rather it is a box mod with a specific atomizer, and not the smallest size, but this is due to the peculiarities of design. Through the use of an updated chipset IQ-80 not only increased the maximum power of the device, but also the functionality. The vaper can use two types of cartridges for vaporizers RGC” and RPM series, so the vaper can choose the best option for themselves depending on their preferences. Buy SMOK RPM80 Pro” Pod Mod Kit is available in seven colors – Black Stabilizing Wood, Red Stabilizing Wood, Fluid Gold, Fluid Blue, Black and White Resin, 7-Color Resin, Black Carbon Fiber.
Accessories
Everyone knows that Smok always tries to pack their devices decently, so this new device will also pleasantly surprise you with its complete set. In a simple cardboard box the vaper will find:
Battery pack RPM80 Pro”;
RPM80 RPM Pod cartridge with pre-installed RPM Mesh Coil 0,4 Ohm vaporizer;
RPM80 RGC Pod with RGC Conical Mesh Coil 0,17 Ohm pre-installed vaporizer;
USB charging cable;
User’s Manual.
RPM80 Battery Pack
The segment of functional and productive AIO systems is constantly expanding, as most manufacturers are trying not only to surprise vapers, but also to increase their market share. Not too long ago, Voopoo released the Vinci series, the latest of which was the Vinci X with a replaceable battery and relatively high power. Smok couldn’t help but respond, especially since they had an AIO system that competed with the Vinci – the RPM 40 Pod Mod Kit. Therefore, the appearance of SMOK RPM80 Pro” Pod Mod Kit is quite logical and expected, as this device is able to compete with the Vinci X.
We can not say that the SMOK RPM80 Pro” Pod Mod Kit is a miniature device, because its dimensions are 118*31.5*26 mm, but this is due to the design features. The design is quite original device in the cross section resembles a drop, in which the acute angle is cut off in order to place the control panel on the resulting surface. The manufacturer has taken care that the RPM80 Pro” looked original originally offered seven design options using resin and carbon fiber.
The maximum power of the device is 80 Watts and it is provided by the traditional 18650 battery, for the installation of which there is a hinged cover on the bottom end of the device. At any time, the battery can be charged via micro-USB connector current of 1.5 Ampere (to fully charge the battery capacity of 2500-3000 mAh takes about two hours).
Important advantage of the SMOK RPM80 Pro” Pod Mod Kit is the presence of modern chipset IQ-80, through which the vaper can not only adjust the power between 1-80 watts, but also gets a full set of protection.
For ease of use, the device is equipped with a fairly large color display, through which you can control the power, voltage, vaporizer resistance, number and time of puffs, as well as change the color scheme.
Cartridges and usage features
In order to stand out from the competition, Smok decided to complete the RPM80 Pro” Pod Mod Kit with two types of cartridges RPM Pod and RGC Pod, thanks to which the vaper can choose the best vaping style for themselves.
Depending on the chosen type of cartridge, the vaporizer can use the corresponding series of RPM and RGC vaporizers. It is worth to say that RGC vaporizers so far are presented only in one version with 0,17 ohm grid, but RPM series vaporizers can be of different resistance and design, since now there are five of them with 0,4/0,6/0,8/1,0/1,2 ohm resistance. If we talk about RGC vaporizers, they have a unique conical mesh design, so the vaper will get both flavor and fullness.
When using the RGC Pod cartridges, the vaper will be able to adjust the blowing, which cannot fail to please. It is worth mentioning that the cartridges are equipped with a classic 510-type drip tip.
The cartridges have high volume of 5 ml, so you do not need to refill them constantly. The process of refilling is very simple and on the top end there is a small silicone plug which you can open to fill the liquid.
Conclusions and impressions
We can say with confidence that SMOK RPM80 Pro” Pod Mod Kit will be a worthy competitor to many AIO-systems on the market. Of course, there are certain remarks to it, but the positives are much more. In any case, the vaper will get a functional, practical and handy device that will please him with its taste and bulk.
