The SMOK RPM2 series is one of the most versatile pod systems available, designed to provide both MTL (Mouth-to-Lung) and DTL (Direct-to-Lung) vaping experiences. With compatibility across multiple devices, including the RPM 2, RPM 2S, RPM 4, and RPM40 kits, RPM2 pods and coils deliver flavourful vapour and smooth performance every time.
Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced vaper, this guide breaks down SMOK RPM 2 pod features, coil options, wattage ranges, and device compatibility so you can optimise your vape setup.
RPM vs RPM2 Pods – What’s the Difference?
- RPM Pod: Works with RPM coils
- RPM2 Pod: Works with RPM2 coils
Important: RPM and RPM2 coils are not interchangeable. Always pair the correct coil with its designated pod.
The dual pod system allows you to switch between a tight MTL draw and a looser DTL inhale, depending on your vaping preference.
RPM2 Replacement Pod Features
- 2ml e-liquid capacity (TPD compliant)
- Durable PCTG material construction
- Oval-shaped curvature design for enhanced flavour and cloud production
- Side-fill silicone stopper for easy refills
- Bottom press-fit coil installation for hassle-free coil changes
