Smok RPM 4 Style as well as Construct High Quality.
I got the Smok RPM 4 in the best color there is– Cyan Pink! If I can select any kind of in the line-up this would have been the one– so I am over the moon! The packaging is best as well as everything showed up in sparkly condition.
Even the instruction booklet is terrific– all these web pages (both sides published) are in English language only– so you can see exactly how extensive the guidelines are! In some packages, a brochure this dimension caters for all the languages ever known to man with only 3 sentences for each language– Bravo Smok!
On mild drawback is rather a brief USB Kind C cord at 50cm long– yet I have actually seen a great deal much shorter so this is still okay-ish.
Smok RPM 4 Mod.
Just WOW! I can barely share how lovely this tool is! The text has a metallic feel with little indents as a pattern to give the appearance.
The color at the base starts at a Cyan blue metal as well as delicately fades into a truly lovely metallic pink– Definitely spectacular. Even far better than the main body surface is the trim panels!
These are a very refined lovely rainbow steel finish and are found on the base of the mod, the front control panel, around the 2 side airflow inlets, and also a panel on the back of the mod.
The color adjustment is perfect and just makes this mod shine with the appeal. All the fittings and ports feel absolute premium– not a rickety or wobbly bit insight.
A Tiny “Smok” logo design gets on the front of the mod as well as on the back rainbow panel is the RPM 4 logo and also CE markings etc.
. The base houses the USB Kind C port and also it works completely along with some message claiming “Designed By Smok” just in case you had neglected who made your kit. Plus there seem 3 little battery airing vent holes.
The pod will just move in 2 ways– two lugs on the side of the shell line up with 2 remove in the mod body. The sheath will likewise fit if you revolve it 180 °.
A magnetic connection secures the capsule in securely– you can even examine this by just mounting the capsule half means and also see the magnet draw it in like magic into the mod.
airflow slide button is located on the back of the mod, it is a little bit challenging to move as it is somewhat rigid and a little bit recessed so it will need a fingernail or similar execute to move it. Nonetheless, the bright side is as soon as it has actually been adapted to your preference it is not likely to need moving once again.
Show Panel & Controls.
The front of the mod features the screen panel as well as primary tool controls. At the top is the square fire switch, which has actually been placed well and also is responsive with dull click audio.
Below that is the wonderful TFT 0.96 in color screen which is clear and quite brilliant. At the top of the display is the battery data– a symbol presents pictorially the cost staying plus a percent is shown in the message next to it– I like having both of these.
Listed below is your wattage setup– from 5-60W with the W icon next to it.
Over the power, the level sign is the “lock” sign– a lock that will be presented in red if the fire or change switches are locked. Underneath that is the coil resistance with an odd coil design icon and also to the right of that is the voltage as well as a little stimulate icon.
The voltage will just present when the fire button is pressed and also is not flexible. The last 2 lines on the screen are committed to the smoke counter as well as vape time.
The timer resets each time you push the fire switch. I am not exactly sure truly if this function is of any type of usage as the only incidence where vape time is a problem is if you hold the fire button down for over 8 secs and also the tool will cut out to stop overheating.
Following are the up and down adjustment buttons these behave and also clicky and also although small is easy to use. I love the fact you can secure the fire switch and power level buttons individually– some devices just secure one or the various others. You can do simply one or both on this.
Smok RPM 4 Sheath.
The best feature of the skins are the clear home windows at the top to offer a great indication of fluid degree. Some of the pod is still concealed within the mod yet if you tip the mod you can judge from this small window exactly how high the fluid degree is.
You get 2 husks in the kit– the LP2 compatible vessel and also the RPM compatible skin. The fill port cover has the name of the husk stamped on.
The cover is fairly simple to raise and also you can revolve it out of the way to make filling simpler. However, like the RPM Lite, I do discover it tough to shut the case as it has rather a tight plug suit the fill port opening.
Size sensible the fill port is pretty basic I have come across no concerns using spout containers however a dropper applicator may be hard to utilize. Complying with on from the earlier RPM kits this has the “Duck Expense” style mouthpiece which is actually comfy in the mouth and I located it wonderful on the original Nord set.
This is just slightly larger than the mouthpiece you would find on the Nord yet still wonderful to use. The capsule base houses the take-out coil and also the magnets to secure the shell strongly in the mod.
One concern I did locate was that the RPM pod was a bit challenging to press right into the mod fully. I don’t know why yet it kind of quit with a void in between the hull and the mod. You can press it in further yet took more initiative than the LP2 capsule. Additionally, it is a lot tighter to eliminate than the LP2 Pod.
Smok RPM 4 Coil Options.
The set includes 2 various shells suitable with different coil varieties …
- RPM4 LP2 shell– this utilizes the brand-new series of LP2 coils.
- RPM4 RPM skin– this makes use of the existing range of RPM coils suitable with other RPM gadgets consisting of the RPM range and also some later Nord devices.
There are 2 various LP2 coils readily available a 0.23 ohm fit together coil which is included in the kit and also a 0.6-ohm dual cord coil which is offered independently. When it involves the RPM coils there are great deals to choose from– you obtain the 0.4 ohm RPM Mesh coil with the set.
Smok RPM 4 Quick Start Guide.
The package shows up with the LP2 Pod mounted. However, there are a few more steps to take in the past you can stand up as well as running– I will certainly order you by the hand as well as guide you through them delicately I assure!
Firstly the coil is shielded by a shielding sticker– this is to avoid the tool shooting unintentionally in the product packaging.
Also, make sure to fill up the vessel with e-liquid and also leave to stand for 10 mins before eliminating this sticker to stop burning the coil out and also knackering it up totally.

If this comes up and also the sheath is set up check the connection to the coil as well as the Pod or replace the coil.
- Resistance restrictions– if a coil over the 2.5-ohm resistance limit is mounted the display screen will show “Ohms too High”. If a coil listed below the 0.2-ohm restriction is installed the display will reveal “Ohms as well Low”. In both cases replace the coil which has a resistance that is within these limits.

- The screen will certainly head out when totally billed.
Utilizing a 2.4 A charging plug it required to around 1 hour and also 2 minutes to charge. Originally the screen told me it would be 59 mins to totally charge– so this is rather well guessed! Although my billing outcome was 2.4 A– the limit input for the mod is 1.5 A. I believe I am right in saying the tool will only draw the present it can anyhow?
How To Fill up.
- Remove the skin by pulling it out of the mod. There is some resistance because of the magnetic retaining system.
- Turn the shell on its side with the fill port cover encountering up.

Just how Does the Smok RPM 4 Perform?
As this is a DTL (Direct To Lung)/ RDL (Limited Direct Lung) kit I will be utilizing reduced nicotine and higher VG e-liquid. I am using my old much-loved Stika Bombz Fruit Salad. This has freebase pure nicotine as well as is an 80/20 PG/VG e-liquid.
It is additionally quite kind to coils I have actually discovered for many years. If any of these terms are over your head– have a read of our handy guides listed below!
- MTL V DTL– A Guide To Vape Styles.
- VG and PG in E-liquid– all you require to know.
- Novices direct to E-liquid.
LP2 Meshed 0.23 ohm, DL Coil.
This has a preferred power score of 20-45W. I started at 25W with the air movement in the much more limited area and already just wow! From the first vape, the flavor blew me away!
The vape is rather warm also at the reduced end of the power limitations yet slightly much less vapor than I would certainly get out of this e-liquid. Up to 30W and also this has warmed up much more as well as I am needing to take much shorter vapes currently!
At 35W this is warmer still yet the cloud result has actually raised. I am sad that being an MTL vaper nowadays I can not take the enormous inhales I utilized to!
I got to endure and also increased to 40W and also more of the exact same. The flavor result has ended up being a lot more intense with various nuances of flavors coming through. Likewise, the vapor result has actually boosted widely.
At 40W I likewise opened up the airflow totally as well as the experience became even more intense.
I will certainly say this is rather a noisy vape– not stormy but you can listen to the airflow as well as also without vaping with the fire button pressed you can listen to the coil shooting.
This really feels way a lot more powerful than 40W! It is similar to making use of a big mesh sub-ohm container at 70W.
Fairly extraordinary– I enjoy it!
I found myself knocking the power to 30W and also setting the air movement simply somewhat below fully open for a little restriction. In completely limited the flavor is excellent but the clouds experience and it does end up being a bit too cozy to vape. Nonetheless with the air movement closed down the warmth makes it feel like you are vaping at 50W instead of simply 25W!
Having actually vaped 5ml currently and on my second fill– the flavor is still lovely as well as navigated 150 puffs from 5ml.
RPM Mesh 0.4 ohm Coil.
This has a recommended power rating of 25W. I utilized the same e-liquid as made use of on the LP2 capsule and began at 25W– which is the only recommendation on the Smok site. Once again whichever air movement setting you use the flavor is punching!
The vapor is a great deal thicker than the LP2 coil I think with the air movement completely open.
At 25W I discovered the vape was somewhat cooler than it was with the LP2 coil and also I had the ability to take longer breathes in– they were more comfortable.
It is a much drier vape than the LP2 coil– but the flavor is strong as well as the throat hit is most definitely there. But I do choose the moist (urgh awful word!) vapor from the other coil/ skin combination.
Also, the output feels a great deal reduced but smoother– I did a direct contrast exchanging in between both shucks at 25W– the LP2 had even more of a kick as well as a crackle, whereas the RPM was a whole lot smoother and also calmer.
Both coils truly have a lot of flavor going on– but for my choice, the LP2 coil fit me much better. The RPM coil is a great deal more refined, smooth, awesome, and gent like whereas the LP2 was a little bit much fierier.
Air movement.
With the LP2 coil in the fully closed (more limitation) setting there is absolutely a lot of constraint.
I would not state quite MTL though! Additionally completely shut this does influence the vapor output yet the flavor is still quite impressive!
In the fully open setup, this is extremely airy with 1 being completely closed as well as 10 being like breathing this is about 8-9. So the very smallest of limitations. Fortunately is that in this setting the flavor, as well as clouds, are really at their optimum.
With the RPM coil and covering the completely open-air movement was a little much more limited– around concerning an 8 as well as the totally shut was a limited DTL vape– still not shut sufficient for MTL.
Smok RPM 4 Mod Performance.
I have actually had no issues at all with the performance and even been really shocked at just how well the battery lasted. Likewise, the construct’s high quality was unusual!
The speed of shooting was instantaneous without any delays and also the power outcome seemed to be consistent right down to 3% battery fee remaining. Something that did truly stun me was how economical this was with e-liquid– I did get the 5ml version– however, I overcame 150 smokes from one container full.
I have had no issues in any way, no leakages or breakdowns, there was a mild amount of e-liquid in the mod link area from the fill port cover. I did struggle to obtain the cover to go in totally– as it has a really tight “Plug” seal and I think some fluid may have seeped out as I was fannying concerning attempting to shut the cover.
Smok RPM 4 Battery Life.
Typically I time how long the battery lasts with regular vaping– however, this is so variable with different vaping styles and your very own choice. So when a device has a smoke counter I will use the smoke matter rather. This is also rather variable as some people do take longer inhales than others as well as this will certainly affect the battery life.
Anyway as an overview I got 275 smokes with the LP2 coil at 30W. This has the 5ml vessel which was primarily 1.5 shuck fulls (approx 7.5 ml) of e-liquid to one cost. I really did not see any type of decrease in power or efficiency up until the battery display showed 3% battery staying, then I got the “Battery Low” message if I vaped longer than a second.
Pros.
- The most beautiful shell package I have ever before seen– attractive describing on the panels as well!
- Develop top quality is rather unbelievable– specifically for a Smok tool in the reduced cost bracket too!
- Compatible with RPM and brand-new LP2 coil varieties– plenty to pick from.
- LP2 coil gives the result at 40W of a big below ohm tank at 70W! Quite surprising. This coil even executes at the lower power of 25W!
- RPM gives a smoother, quieter vape.
- Easy to see e-liquid level with clear window location in the shell.
- Cost-effective e-liquid usage.
- No leaks or malfunctions.
Disadvantages.
- The fill port can be a bit fiddly.
- Tough to tell the shucks apart if you had sight problems– the writing is not really clear on the fill port covers, a color code or comparable may improve this.
- Can be a little bit hard to grasp the coil base for coil elimination– if you haven’t any fingernails you will require something to prise it out with– not excellent if you are out and about.
- Vaping is fairly noisy on the LP2 coil– from the airflow to the real sound of the coil being fired.
- RPM shuck was quite a tight fit and also took even more effort to get rid of and install.
Last Testimonial Verdict.
I dropped absolutely head over heels with this kit the 2nd I opened it– really actually magnificently designed and finished.
It is that good that I will be purchasing several of the LP2 coils as I actually appreciate this reduced power DTL experience as well as exactly how little e-liquid this utilizes in contrast with a massive below ohm container.
I think any kind of DTL vaper would certainly appreciate this experience, yet if you are someone that needs high nicotine as well as throat hit– this is not really a set for you. For those individuals, you are far better off looking much more towards the RPM Lite or the Nord/ Novo range. Or even chucking the 0.8 ohm DC RPM coil in this kit.
This is not a massive cloud chucking power monster by any means– but any type of vaper who such as higher VG e-liquid flavor might happily take this out with them for a few hrs and also delight in the flavor as well as heat you get.
A Couple Of Niggly Issues …
I have a couple of small niggles about things like the fill port cover being fiddly and telling the pods apart. But these are a lot more niggly problems than actual offer breakers. Additionally, as this is a DTL device I have not used this away from the house– I am an MTL vaper that needs some larger pure nicotine when I am out and about.
So for this testimonial, the package has just been made use of resting at a desk or lounging in the house– it hasn’t had the “purse” or “rolling around the vehicle” experience my tools generally need to manage!
I always rank the item I have in front of me as well as in regards to vaping enjoyment this is a beauty. I know how much the top quality can vary with Smok gadgets– I have my own experiences of this, unfortunately.
But in my hands, the Smok RPM 4 Pod I am making use of is an outright elegance that discards way a lot more flavor than I anticipated. I enjoy it– do you? Please let me know your ideas and also viewpoints in the remarks listed below …
