Smok RPM 85 Vape Kit

Smok RPM 85 Vape Kit

Sub-ohm power without the bulk of a box mod. The Smok RPM 85 pairs a 3000mAh built-in battery with an adjustable 5-85W output, sitting neatly between a pocket pod kit and a full direct-to-lung setup. Its 2ml refillable pod top-fills through a sliding cap, and it runs Smok RPM 3 mesh coils, with two included in the box.

A 0.96-inch TFT colour screen shows your wattage at a glance, while USB-C takes care of charging. One of the more compact Refillable Pod Kits that still pushes real cloud production.

Why vapers choose this:

• Serious power in a small shell. Getting a genuine 85W out of an internal-battery device this pocketable is not something many kits manage, and the RPM 85 does it without feeling like a brick.

• Two coils, two moods. The 0.15ohm leans warm and cloudy, the 0.23ohm pulls tighter and cooler.

• Top-fill sliding cap. Refill without ever removing the pod.

• A screen you can actually read. The 0.96-inch colour display keeps your wattage and settings in view.

• Room to grow. Runs the full RPM 3 coil line, with RPM 2 coils on the table too.

Smok RPM 85 Features

That 3000mAh Battery Does the Heavy Lifting

A big internal cell is the reason this kit lasts. 3000mAh is generous for something this compact, and at lower wattages you can stretch it across a full day. When it does run flat, USB-C charging brings it back quickly rather than leaving you tethered for hours. No spare batteries to carry, no external charger to lose.

Why Two Coils Instead of One?

Because they do different jobs. The 0.15ohm RPM 3 mesh coil is happiest between 40W and 80W, throwing out warm, dense vapour. The 0.23ohm sits lower at roughly 20-25W for a tighter, cooler draw. One kit, two vaping styles, and both perform best with a High VG E-Liquid at 70% VG or above.

A Colour Screen That Earns Its Place

The 0.96-inch TFT display is not just for show. It lays out your wattage, coil resistance, and battery level clearly, so adjusting 5-85W on the fly takes a glance rather than guesswork. Smok redesigned the interface for this model, and it reads cleanly even in daylight.

Dial In the Airflow to Suit You

The adjustable airflow ring changes the whole feel of the draw. Widen it for looser, cloudier DTL hits, or tighten it right down for a more restricted pull. It is a small control that makes a real difference. Two vapers can share the same RPM 85 and set it up completely differently.

Built As It Means It

Zinc-alloy body, rounded edges, 162.5g in the hand. It has weight to it, which honestly feels reassuring rather than heavy, and the electroplated finish holds up to daily knocks around a pocket or bag. This is hardware built to be carried every day.

Smok RPM 85 Colours

Five finishes are stocked, each on the same rounded, electroplated body. The choice here is purely about the look you want in your hand.

How to Set Up the Smok RPM 85

Quick job. A few minutes start to finish.

1. Slide open the top cap and lift the 2ml pod away from the device.

2. Drop your chosen coil into the pod and press it home until it seats fully.

3. Add three or four drops of e-liquid straight onto the exposed cotton so it is not bone dry on the first fire.

4. Fill the pod through the top port with a high-VG e-liquid, then close the sliding cap.

5. Stand the filled pod upright and leave it to soak for a good six to seven minutes so the wick draws liquid all the way through.

6. Drop the pod back in, start at a low wattage and step up until the draw feels right.

What's in the Smok RPM 85 Box

Every kit comes with:

• the RPM 85 device,

• one refillable RPM 85 pod,

• and two RPM 3 mesh coils: a 0.15ohm and a 0.23ohm.

• You also get a USB-C charging cable

• and the user manual.

No e-liquid is included, so you will need a bottle of your own before the first vape, and the pod supplied is the RPM 3 fitment (the RPM 2 pod is a separate purchase).

Which Coils and Pods Fit the RPM 85

Out of the box, the kit uses the RPM 3 fitment pod with Smok's RPM 3 mesh coils, and the two included heads cover most vaping styles. When they wear down, the whole RPM 3 range drops straight in, so keeping a few Replacement Vape Coils on hand keeps the kit running for pennies per week.

There is a second option too. Fit the separate RPM 2 pod and the device happily takes RPM 2 coils instead, which opens up a milder, more mouth-to-lung leaning set of resistances. Spare Empty Replacement Pods are worth having around either way, since a fresh pod sharpens flavour once an old one starts to cloud up.

About Smok

Smok has been one of the biggest names in vaping hardware for over a decade, and the RPM line is a core part of why. The series built its reputation on cramming sub-ohm, mod-level power into pod-sized bodies, and the RPM 85 is a direct descendant of that idea.

RPM 3 coils, the format this kit is built around, are known for strong flavour and solid coil life across Smok's wider range. It is dependable, widely supported hardware, which matters when you want replacement coils and pods still on the shelf a year from now.

Stock Up and Save

Coils are where the running cost of any sub-ohm kit really lives, so it pays to keep a few RPM 3 heads in the drawer rather than buying one at a time. Grab them alongside the kit, and you are covered for weeks.

Every order from Pirate Vapes goes out with same-day dispatch before 4 pm, and orders over £40 travel on Free Pirate Post. All stock is TPD compliant, sold through an age-verified checkout, over-18s only.

Conclusion

The Smok RPM 85 is a smart pick if you want proper sub-ohm DTL performance without carrying a full box mod. A 3000mAh battery, 85W on tap, two coils in the box and a clear colour screen make it easy to live with day to day, and the RPM 3 coil support keeps it cheap to run.

FAQs

What resistance coils come with the RPM 85?

Two RPM 3 mesh coils: a 0.15ohm best run at 40-80W, and a 0.23ohm suited to around 20-25W. Warm clouds from one, a tighter draw from the other.

Can it use RPM 2 coils in the RPM 85?

Yes, but only with the separate RPM 2 fitment pod. Fit that pod and the RPM 2 coil range works fine. The kit ships with the RPM 3 pod as standard.

How big is the RPM 85 pod?

2ml, in line with UK limits. It top-fills through a sliding cap, so you refill without pulling the pod out of the device.

What e-liquid should I use with the RPM 85?

High-VG, 70% VG or above. These sub-ohm mesh coils are built for thicker liquid and higher wattages. Thin 50/50 juice will struggle and can wick poorly.

Is the RPM 85 battery removable?

No. The 3000mAh cell is built in and charges over USB-C. If you specifically want swappable 18650 batteries, the RPM 100 is the external-battery version of this kit.

How long does the RPM 85 battery last?

Most vapers get close to a day from a full charge, though heavy DTL use at higher wattages pulls it down faster. USB-C tops it back up quickly.
