Review of SMOK RPM 40 Pod Mod Kit

After POD-systems appeared on the vaping market, many vapers reconsidered their attitude to vaping and began to switch to them en masse, leaving box-mods, tanks and drips on the shelf at home. This desire is quite logical, as it is not always convenient to carry a two-bar mod with a large atomizer, and even with a bottle of liquid in addition. And considering the fact that many vapers are former smokers, who in any case need nicotine, POD-system has become a real salvation, enough to fill it with a liquid based on the salt nicotine high strength, make a couple of puffs and saturate the body nicotine. But the fact that vapers can not fully adjust the modes of POD-systems is a minus. And this minus decided to fix the company Smok, introducing a symbiosis of box mod and POD-system RPM 40 Pod Mod Kit. This device is really something in between an AIO system and a small box mod. While it is hard to say whether vapers will appreciate such a novelty, but the fact that the device is interesting and original.

General Info

SMOK RPM 40 Pod Mod Kit is a small box mod that has a fairly powerful built-in battery and performance chipset that uses the liquid vaporization system of a traditional POD. You can’t say that the new device has quite miniature size, but it is equipped with a high-capacity battery, which will allow the vaper to get a significant autonomy. The form factor is original in the section of the device is square, but its ergonomics is at the highest level. The built-in LQ-R chipset and small color display allows the vaper to choose the optimal power of the device. The large capacity cartridge is designed to work with Nord and RPM series vaporizers allows you to choose the combination of flavor and vapor without much trouble. The SMOK RPM 40 Pod Mod Kit is available in eight colors – black, gray, purple, gold, rainbow, white, orange and green.

Kit

Taking into consideration the fact that the SMOK RPM 40 Pod Mod Kit is not just POD-system, but more functional and productive device, the developers decided to equip it accordingly. In the original box the vaper waits:

RPM40 Device box mod;

RPM Standard Pod 4,3 ml cartridge with pre-installed vaporizer RPM Mesh4ohm Coil;

RPM Nord Pod 4.5 ml cartridge with Nord DC6ohm Coil vaporizer pre-installed;

USB charging cable;

User manual.

RPM40 Device Box Mod

The fact that sooner or later one of the manufacturers will present a POD-system, which will have the functionality of an ordinary box-mod, was quite expected. And the fact that the first to do it the company Smok, also, because not for nothing they have long held a leading position in the market. RPM40 Device box mod looks like the usual box mod of low power, designed to use atomizers for cigarette puffs, but of course it is not equipped with a traditional 510 connector.

Small size of the mod and original enough form factor (in the cross section the device is made in the form of a square) make it convenient to work with. The use of Carbonne inserts in the design will allow the device to slip out even if you pick it up with wet hands.

The power of the RPM40 Device ranges from 1-40 watts and is provided by a built-in 1500 mAh battery. The battery is traditionally charged using the micro-USB connector located in the end of the device. Charging current 0.88A, so you can charge the battery for two hours.

The LQ-R chipset with an activation time of 0.001 seconds deserves special attention, which is an excellent indicator for such a device. Of course, there is only one variwatt mode in the device, but the vaper can choose the optimal power for him.

An additional plus can be considered a small color display, where you can find all the necessary information for the vaper working power, vaporizer resistance, voltage, number of puffs, battery level.

Cartridges, vaporizers and usage features

SMOK obviously decided to make the new device as versatile as possible, so it initially comes with two cartridges that work on different vaporizers. If we believe the manufacturer, in the near future there will also be a serviced base for the SMOK RPM 40 Pod Mod Kit.

Depending on the preference of the vaper can use the RPM Standard Pod and RPM Nord Pod, the main difference is not even in the different volume (4.3 and 4.5 ml), but in the type of vaporizers used.Vaper can use the vaporizers series RPM or Nord, among which you can choose options with different resistance and based on different heating elements.

Regardless of the type of cartridges selected, the filling is done the same way, a small silicone cap is opened on the side surface, then you can safely pour 4.3 or 4.5 ml of liquid.

It is worth noting that there is no blowing control, but the air comes to the vaporizers from the bottom, so the vaper will get a good flavor transfer.

Conclusions and impressions

Some vapers after seeing the SMOK RPM 40 Pod Mod Kit will say that it is complete nonsense and the device is some kind of weird vaping device, but many vapers will appreciate the functionality of the device. The possibility of choosing vaporizers, power and ease of use will bribe many people.
