These devices also offer multiple protections to avoid oopsies. These include :
- Short circuit protection
- 8 Seconds cut-off
- Low voltage protection
- High temperature protection
The Coils :
For MTL, the best coil options would be high resistance coils (1.0-2.8 ohm).
Low ohm coils are perfect for DTL vaping as they create higher heat on the coil.
The Nord 0.6 ohm Mesh Coil was specifically designed for sub-ohm vaping. (Anything below 1.0 ohm).
Button Functionality :
* Press the fire button five times within 2 seconds to turn the device on/off.
* Hold the fire button to vape.
* Press the fire button 3 times to lock/unlock the device.
* Use the left/right menu keys to adjust the wattage.
* Hold the fire button and left menu key to clear puff counter.
* To change the colour scheme, press the fire button and the right menu key.
That covers the basics of this device.
The next portion of this review is purely based on my personal observation of using this kit – your own experience may differ.
The Pods :
These pods are not magnetic like the Fetch mini for example, but they do click in securely. On the side of the pods you will find the filling gaps.
Again, with or without nails it is a struggle to get the plugs open. Also after a few times of filling, pulling your hair out of your head, the plugs will start tearing apart.
The replacing of coils is also a rather quick process. Pull out the coil, pop in the new coil (don’t forget to prime).
I really don’t want to go into too much details regarding the pods and the coils as they are pretty much the same as mentioned in my Fetch mini review.
Pro’s :
* Adjustable wattage.
* Compatibility for freebase and nic salts.
* Fast charging (2 hours).
* Curved sides for a comfy grip.
* Auto cutting after 8 seconds of vaping.
* Good battery life.
* Bright display.
* Massive e-liquid capacity.
Con’s :
* Pod’s filling rubbers are a struggle to open and break easily.
* To check the juice levels, you need to remove the pod from the device.
* Leaking pods
* Not able to adjust airflow.
Overall Thoughts :
When I first received the Smok RPM40, I was super stocked about it. I mean, the box itself says ‘The Real Mod Pod’. I don’t know, to be honest I am in two about my decision about this one. Yes, it might look nice but I am not too sure if I would classify this as the way the product is marketed.
I had a better vaping experience when sub-ohming due to the two big airflows the device has on the sides at the top. Flavour wise, I can not complain. I have had good flavour and good vapour production from the low resistance coils. I also have to say, although you can change the colour on the screen, I found the white works best and it is ideal in the sun as the screen is bright.
I stopped using this device at around 4737 puffs, because of my last-mentioned reasons.
Two major concerns for me with these devices are the leaking pods (I have verified this with a few vapers) and the silicone plugs that are hard to get out and break easily.

The Final TVC Verdict : Unfortunately this would not be a device that I would recommend personally.
Wait for today's reviewThanks for this @Chanelr. This will definitely not be on my To Buy list!!
