Smok RPM 5 Kit Grey · 80W Pod Mod with 2000mAh Battery

The Smok RPM 5 Kit Grey is the definitive evolution of the pod mod concept, combining the portability of a compact device with the beastly performance of a sub-ohm mod to give you the best Direct-to-Lung (DTL) experience. It is not just another vape; it is a precision tool designed to offer you up to 80W of power, intense flavor, and vapor production that rivals much larger devices, all wrapped in a sleek, ergonomic Grey finish.

Is your current vape letting you down when you need it most?

There is nothing more frustrating than stepping out for the day and realizing your battery is already flashing red, or reaching into your pocket only to find it sticky because your tank leaked again. You want a satisfying hit, but you are stuck with weak vapor, muted flavor, or a device that requires a degree in engineering to refill without making a mess.

Ignoring these issues usually leads to the "drawer of shame"—a collection of devices you bought, tried, and hated. You end up wasting money on coils that burn out in two days and e-liquids that taste like burnt cotton. It kills the vibe, wastes your stash, and makes you want to go back to combustion just to avoid the hassle.

The Smok RPM 5 is the solution that finally addresses these pain points. With its massive 2000mAh internal battery, you have enough juice to get through the day, and the newly designed pod features a child-resistant lock and slide-to-open top fill that virtually eliminates leakage. It delivers consistent, flavorful hits every time, putting an end to your vaping frustrations.

Why the RPM 5 is actually worth it for you

Let’s be real: the market is flooded with pods, but the RPM 5 hits that sweet spot between a simple starter kit and a complex box mod. If you are looking for a device that fits in your hand perfectly but still hits like a truck, this is it. The Grey finish gives it a stealthy, professional look that fits any situation, whether you are chilling at home or on a break at work.

The value here is in the RPM 3 Mesh Coils. Smok has really stepped up their game, increasing the mesh surface area to heat up faster and more evenly. This means you aren't just blowing clouds; you are tasting every nuance of your favorite juice. Plus, the airflow control is stepless, meaning you can dial it in exactly how you like it, not just choose between "too tight" and "too airy."

Most important features and benefits

• 2000mAh Built-in Battery: Forget about carrying spare batteries. You get long-lasting power that supports high-wattage vaping all day.
• 80W Max Output: Gives you the freedom to crank up the power for massive clouds or dial it down for a cooler vape.
• New RPM 3 Mesh Coils: Specifically engineered to maximize flavor and vapor, ensuring you get the most out of your Eliquid / Best Vape Flavors.
• 6.5ml Pod Capacity: A huge tank means fewer refills and more time vaping (note: 2ml in TPD regulated areas).
• Slide-to-Open Top Fill: Refill in seconds without removing the pod from the device. It’s clean, fast, and convenient.
• 0.96-inch TFT Display: All your data (puff count, wattage, battery) is crisp and easy to read at a glance.
• Child-Resistant Pod Design: Keeps the coil locked in place and prevents accidental spills, making it safer and cleaner.

Typical objections and clear answers

We know you might be skeptical about switching devices, so let’s clear up the common doubts right now:

• You think that Smok devices always leak. In reality, the RPM 5 uses a new pod design with a slide-top lock and a coil lock mechanism that drastically reduces leakage compared to older RPM models.
• You think that 80W is too complicated for a pod. In reality, the interface is super intuitive. You just adjust the wattage with two buttons, and the smart chip protects you from burning the coil.
• You think that internal batteries degrade too fast. In reality, the Type-C fast charging keeps the battery healthy, and 2000mAh is robust enough to last through hundreds of charge cycles without significant loss.

How to use it safely and effectively

To ensure your RPM 5 lasts a long time and performs perfectly, follow these simple steps:

1. Prime the Coil: Before inserting a new RPM 3 coil, put a few drops of e-liquid directly onto the visible cotton wicking ports.
2. Install the Coil: Push the coil into the bottom of the pod until the red locking lever secures it in place.
3. Fill the Pod: Slide the top cap open and fill with your favorite e-liquid. We recommend a 70VG/30PG ratio for this device.
4. Wait 5-10 Minutes: This is crucial. Let the cotton fully saturate to avoid burning the coil on the first hit.
5. Adjust Airflow & Wattage: Start at a lower wattage (e.g., 25W) and work your way up to the recommended range printed on the coil. Open the airflow for DTL hits.
6. Vape: Press the fire button and enjoy.
7. Maintenance: Wipe the bottom of the pod and the connector pins with a tissue occasionally to keep the connection clean.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use Nicotine Salts with the RPM 5?

Technically yes, but it is not recommended with the included 0.15Ω or 0.23Ω coils, as they are too powerful and produce too much vapor for high nicotine strengths. These coils are designed for freebase nicotine e-liquids (0mg, 3mg, 6mg). If you want to use salts, you'd need higher resistance coils and lower wattage.

How long do the RPM 3 coils last?

With proper priming and using sweet e-liquids moderately, a coil can last anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks. Darker, sweeter juices may shorten this lifespan.

Is this compatible with RPM 2 or RPM 4 pods?

No, the Smok RPM 5 uses specifically designed RPM 5 Pods and the new RPM 3 Coils. It is not backward compatible with older series parts.

Where can I find spares?

You can find replacement coils and pods right here in our Vape Shop section.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

"I've been testing Smok products since the very first RPM 40, and I'll be honest—leakage was always my biggest gripe with their older pods. But with the RPM 5, they've genuinely listened to the community. I took the Grey unit with me on a weekend trip, kept it in my jeans pocket, and not a single drop leaked. That slide-to-fill mechanism is a game-changer for refilling on the go."

"For me, the sweet spot is the 0.15Ω coil at about 65W with the airflow half open. The flavor is incredibly crisp, and the vapor is dense without being too hot. If you want a device that feels premium but doesn't weigh your pants down like a dual-battery mod, this is the one I'd recommend. Just remember to keep your juice ratio high in VG, and it will treat you right."
