Just three or four years ago, devices with sufficiently high power, fairly large dimensions and, most importantly, with good functionality were in particular demand among vapers. But, as it turned out, high-power devices are not always necessary, especially when you constantly carry devices with you (it’s unlikely that anyone will argue that a metal box mod is not very convenient to carry in your pocket), so special Compact, practical and convenient pod-modes have become popular. One of the leaders in the production of devices of this format is the Smok company, which has many sub-mods that are sales leaders. Surely many vapers remember the legendary and best-selling RPM sub-mod, which, thanks to the light hand of the developers, was revived again, but in its fourth generation – Smok RPM 4 kit.
General information
Smok RPM 4 kit is a compact pod-mod equipped with a built-in medium-capacity battery, operating in vari-watt mode and designed for the use of replaceable evaporators of the RPM and LP2 series. The new pod-mod is made in a rather traditional format for devices of this series, a small block that fits perfectly in your pocket. The vaper will only have a standard vari-watt with a maximum power of 60 Watts, which is quite enough for most users. Depending on the vaper’s preferences, you can install both the usual RPM series evaporators (including a serviced base) and the new LP2. The Smok RPM 4 kit can be purchased in two color series: Regular and Leather, so the user has plenty to choose from.
Equipment
Devices from the Smok company are always equipped more or less identically and standardly, but this is another confirmation of the phrase stability is a sign of skill, so the vaper will receive everything he needs to fully use the device. In the vaper’s box awaits:
Battery pack RPM 4 Device;
RPM 4 LP2 Pod Cartridge with pre-installed LP2 Meshed23ohm DL Coil;
RPM 4 RPM Pod Cartridge with pre-installed RPM Mesh4ohm Coil;
USB Type-C cable;

Battery pack RPM 4 Device
If a vaper follows the development trends in the vaping world, then he knows for sure that one of the best-selling pod-mods in history was Smok RPM, which, although it was released about two years ago, remains in demand. Despite its popularity, this device has a number of complaints and comments from users, which the company is trying to eliminate by releasing more and more new devices in this series. And an example of this is the Smok RPM 4 kit, which is designed in such a way that it can confidently compete with devices of this format from other manufacturers.
According to established tradition, the Smok RPM 4 kit has a fairly simple and laconic design – it is a rectangular block with slightly rounded corners and edges. The device is quite small (103*27.9*25 mm), so it fits perfectly in your pocket. The body is made of zinc alloy, plastic and eco-leather, so it is tactilely pleasant and fits perfectly in the hand.
The maximum power of the Smok RPM 4 kit is 60 Watts, and it is provided by an average capacity battery of 1650 mAh, which is not so much, but with the right power and evaporator it will allow you to get autonomy throughout the day. The battery is charged using the USB Type-C connector located on the bottom end with a current of 1.5A.
Smok RPM 4 kit is equipped with a fairly simple, but at the same time reliable and productive chipset, allowing the vaper to use the device in variable watt mode with a power of 5-60 Watts. The minimum resistance with which the board operates is 0.2 Ohm (this should be remembered when using an RBA base).
The device is equipped with a 0.96-inch diagonal color display, traditional for Smok devices, on which the vaper will find a standard set of information: battery charge level, power, coil resistance, voltage, number and time of puffs.
RPM 4 cartridge
According to established tradition, the Smok RPM 4 kit is equipped with two cartridges so that the vaper has the opportunity to choose from two series of RPM and LP2 vaporizers. The cartridges in the battery pack are held in place using magnets, so replacing them will only take a few seconds.
The vaper has at his disposal two series of evaporators: traditional RPM Coil (you can buy them in every vape shop) and new LP2 on a mesh and with three orings that prevent leakage, so everyone can choose the optimal resistance option depending on their preferences. If desired, you can use a standard RBA base for RPM cartridges.
The Smok RPM 4 kit provides tightening adjustment, implemented using a small slider located on the side surface of the battery pack.
To refill the cartridge, you need to remove it from the battery pack, open the small silicone plug on the side surface and fill in 5 ml of liquid.
