Both pods are black, with a smoked transparent black fluid reservoir and a fixed drip-tip/mouthpiece.

Our guide on vaping styles, explains the differences between mouth-to-lung (MTL) vaping and direct-to-lung (DTL) vaping. Equipped with the brand new IQ-80 chipset, the SMOK RPM80 Pod Mod has upgraded many of the components from the original RPM Series pioneer. A complete re-design of the popular RPM40, the SMOK RPM80 Pro is an AIO (all-in-one) variable wattage pod mod with MTL and DTL coil options. While the RPM80 isn’t going to make you forget that 200-watt rig with the HorizonTech Falcon on top, sub-ohm vapers are going to find an awful lot to like in this supposed “pod mod.Even with an integrated cell more than twice as capable as the RPM40, we still only averaged 2-3 hours per charge before having to plug in. Featuring an upgraded battery, the capacity sits at an impressive 3000mAh, providing plenty of flavor and vaping at the touch of a button. 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. Battery life on the SMOK RPM80 Pro depends on the type and capacity of the battery you’re using and which pod/coil you have installed. The menu is easy to navigate via the buttons and even has an option to change the colour of the text on the display.

The Smok RGC coil is designed for use with the Smok RPM80 RGC replacement pods (for the Smok RPM80 and the Smok RPM80 Pro pod kits) only. The RGC pod/coils do tend to leak a little, especially as the coil starts to degrade or e-liquid is left in it for a little while without using.Use these coils with RPM80 - most 70/30 liquids I use at 40-50watt setting and get around 1 week out of a coil before taste starts to go - but this is obv dependant on liquids. Please ensure that your batteries can handle the extra power requirements, and that your mod can handle the amps.

None of this matters if the flavor isn’t there, and thankfully, SMOK didn’t cut corners in this department. The RGC head was definitely designed for higher-wattage use, but even though this is an 80-watt mod, I never felt like the power was enough to make the coil truly sing. Finally, in a nice touch, the USB charge port is located at the bottom of the mod, but forward-facing, so you don’t have to lay your device on its side, potentially causing flooding and leaks.

These coils don’t last very long (mine lasted 3 to 4 days before burnt taste started) but the air flow option with the rgc pod is way better than the rpm pod.

The Smok RPM replacement coils are recommended for use with both High VG 70+ (DTL), 50/50 Freebase(MTL) and Nic Salt (MTL) E-Liquids. Once you investigate the coils provided in the kit, you’ll quickly realize that SMOK intended the RPM80 as a full-on, mid-wattage vape mod, leaving behind any trappings of lower-power pod mods.

We can’t say we were “disappointed” in the battery life, but touting 3,000mAh is a bold claim, and this just didn’t meet the mark. I usually find every time i fill the pod I give the pod recess and bottom of the pod a little wipe to keep it at bay. With a 5ml e-juice capacity, the pods are really easy to re-fill via a rubber plug at the top of the pod. Most of the coils were flawless, however some didn't prime very well, and essentially burnt on the first pull.
