Smok Rpm Lite Kit 40W: RPM LITE KIT - SMOK® | Innovation Keeps Changing the Vaping Experience



The RPM Lite maintains the excellent IQ-R chip which boasts great fire reactivity, (only 0.001S,) the RPM Lite combines the dimensional advantages of a Pod with the performance advantages of a Box.

In this Lite version compared to the RPM40 the dimensions have been further reduced, the battery capacity of 1250Mah still allows it to manage a power range from 1W to 40W with a discrete autonomy, the various functions are also well controllable thanks to the "enormous "0.96 inch color display.

The cartridge holds up to 3.3ml of liquid and houses the excellent RPM coils already seen on the RPM40.



The Smok RPM40 Lite Kit arrives in this pack with the following facade design; the SMOK brand is clearly visible at the top, below is the image of the RPM Lite, alongside we find some main features in the form of 4 red circles, at the bottom we find the writing RPM Lite Kit and the indication "Gold" concerning the coloring of my copy.



On the back side it is remembered that it is the RPM Lite Kit (not salable to minors), it is also reported the content together with the various warnings, logos / brands.



The scratch and check for checking originality is located on the narrow upper side of the package.

On the first of the two long sides we find the wording Made in China with a serial number alongside, the bar code and the classic anti-counterfeiting Smok home holographic system.

The various addresses of the manufacturer are shown on the other side.



The kit includes:

- 1 Device RPM Lite 40W
- 1 RPM cartridge of 3.3ML capacity (2ml TPD)
- 1 Coil RPM Mesh from 0.4Ω with Best at 25W
- 1 Coil RPM DC 0,8Ω (Mtl)
- 1 Usb cable
- 1 User Manual

The activation button in plastic material is well-sized and comfortable to click, under it we find the 0.96 "display with clear and easy to read indications, the up / down keys are located below and in the lower part we find charging socket.

The rear side is clean, only highlights the air-flow (not adjustable) in the upper part.

Hi guys (back again)

As some of you might know, I sold my Dani 25 I picked up at the beginning of May from Creme de Vape, because I thought I would prefer the 22mm's cleaner look (which I still do). However, now I'm regretting selling the Dani 25 for the customization it has (reduction cones).

I received the V3 from Creme de Vape on May 8, it hasn't left my house! Comes with TWO (2) Molicel P26 2600mAh batteries, that were also purchased from RTD Vapor during the same time frame. Today (5/20) I received a surprise birthday gift from a family member (Extreme V3 23mm). I can't sell that one because it would be rude of me, so I'm looking to unload the 22mm device and repurchase the Dani 25.

Price: $225.00 (FIRM)

Payment: PayPal

Shipping & Handling: UNITED STATES ONLY/FREE USPS Priority Shipping! Includes confirmation & insurance.

Thanks!

The Smoant Knight 80 is the latest in a long line of Knight branded devices from Smoant. This time however it has gone down the road, not of full mod design, but an external battery AIO style device which is rather chunky compared with others.

I was waitlisted for this mod for a long time, yet when I finally received the Golden Greek Proteus I couldn’t use it since I didn’t have the correct set-up.
This is #13 and has never been used (will throw in 4 brand new AW batteries as well).
I would like to either sell or trade for a Super T or similar mods.
I’m looking for a very simple, fully mechanical, high end mod and if I cannot find a trade I’d like to sell since he’s been sitting untouched in a box for years now.
Danke

Hello Everyone!

Me again, so … I went through these threads and forums and I really was looking for a Recycle option for this pile of Disposables that I have.. Does anyone know if stores? or Places that would recycle these things because I feel like they are stupid bad for the environment and I would like to keep them OUT of a landfill if possible? I mean does anyone know if the insides can be salvaged for something that can be used again? mmm… Does anyone know a maker of these that has a Option to send it back once your done?

Thanks for the help xoxo

Hi ECF members, In this review i take a look at the iJust AIO Kit from Eleaf. The iJust AIO Kit was supplied for the purpose of this review by Eleaf.

Eleaf electronic cigarette » iJust AIO



Introduction

The iJust AIO is the latest in the iJust series and an AIO Pod Stick device bringing an AIO/Pod device to those who prefer the tube/pen style form. When i was told this was being sent i really didn't look up it's specs and features and was not expecting anything of great interest but the iJust AIO Kit surprised me ticking many boxes. It has a neat side filling method, adjustable airflow, 3 power levels, 3 tier battery status indication and for it's compact size accommodates an impressive 1500mAh battery. With e-liquid viewing windows, no need to remove the pod to refill and coming in 5 colour options, let's check the iJust AIO Kit out!

___________________________________________________________________



In The Box



Contents:

1x iJust AIO
1x GT M 0.6ohm coil
1x USB Cable
1x USB Manual
1x Warranty Card



___________________________________________________________________



Aesthetics and Ergonomics

The iJust AIO Kit came in quite basic cardboard packaging with a picture of the device on the front of the box. I received the Black version, the colour options are Black, Gunmetal, Silver, Rainbow or Pink.

The device comes with the pod inserted but no coil installed, only the top of the pod protrudes from the device which includes the fixed drip tip and viewing windows with adjustable ring. The device is tubular with "Eleaf" printed towards the bottom on the front and "iJust AIO" in the same position on the rear, apart from that the device is quite plain.

On the front we have a protruding large fire button with translucent surround for the LED to shine through, in the same position on the rear is the micro USB port.
On either side towards the top we have small airflow slots and then moving to the base printed safety marks.

The device is small and portable just getting swallowed up by the hand so good for out and about, the device is well thought out and made well!



___________________________________________________________________



iJust AIO Specs and Features:

Size: 22mm x 102.5m
Capacity: 2ml
Resistance Range: 0.3-3.0ohm
Battery: Built-in 1500mAh
Output: 23W max
Dual air inlets & adjustable airflow
3 power modes
Compatible with GT Coils
Easy side filling design
3-Tier Battery Status Indication
Multiple Protections
Thread: 510
Colours: Black, Gunmetal, Silver, Rainbow, Pink





___________________________________________________________________



The Pod

You receive one pod which accommodates replaceable coils and is refillable, the pod has a tinted mouth section and clear main lower section with the upper main section having a broad adjustable ring with large cutouts for viewing windows, when turning this ring it reveals the fill port but more about that in another section of the review.

Either side of the pod towards the bottom we have small slots for airflow and moving to the base we have 2 magnets either side which are recessed by an hair so don't fully make contact with the metallic rail inside the device, the pod has a 2ml capacity.



___________________________________________________________________



The Coils

The Coil head as with so many of these pods just get press fitted into place and then pulled free to replace. You receive just one coil which to me is a big con, even if a couple of Dollars is added to the price at least 2 coils should come with any pod based device if using replaceable coils.

The pod hosts GT coils and the coil you receive is a Kanthal mesh 0.6ohm coil with a rating between 10w to 25w, the bore while not wide is definitely more suited for a direct lung draw.

Also available is the regular Nichrome 1.2ohm coil rated between 7w to 14w which is a MTL option and really with that adjustable airflow should of been included in the kit giving the user more choice.





___________________________________________________________________



Fitting The Pod

Looking inside the Pod's bay we can see the recessed central circular area with contacts for the base of the coil to sit. The perimeter of the inside of the bay is a metallic rail with 2 large protruding sections that act as stoppers. The way it works is quite clever, as mentioned the magnets on the base of the pod are recessed by a hair but these magnets are quite powerful, just the magnetic pull between the magnets and metallic rail gives the pod a very secure fit while because the magnets don't actually touch the rail it allows for rotation between the stoppers for the adjustable airflow.



___________________________________________________________________



Adjustable Airflow

On either side of the device we have small slots and also matching slots on the pod. As described in the previous section the pod can rotate between stoppers to either have the slots on the device and pod perfectly lined up for airflow fully open or adjust to preference. It works really well giving good adjustability but a very minor con is when the device is in your pocket the pod does sometimes get rotated so the airflow needs readjusting.



___________________________________________________________________



Filling

Another neat feature is the filling method which allows filling without removing the pod. The top of the pod which protrudes from the device has an adjustable ring with two large cutouts that act as viewing windows.

When this ring is turned in one of the viewing windows appears a silicone section with self sealing membrane. The silicone section only takes up half the viewing window so as you fill you can clearly see the juice level, once filled just turn the ring to hide the silicone fill section.

The fill slot allows the use of modern Gorilla nozzles but not glass droppers so if you use glass droppers you would need to decant into a bottle with a smaller nozzle.





___________________________________________________________________



Operating The iJust AIO Device

The device is the usual 5 clicks of the fire button to turn on and 5 clicks to turn off and once on you have the choice of 3 different power settings, high, medium or low. The power settings appear to be different constant voltage outputs but no details are given other than the already mentioned high, medium and low. To change between settings is 3 quick presses of the fire button and the LED will flash 3 times in the colour that represents the new setting selected:

Red = Low
Blue = Medium
Green = High

Also 2 quick clicks of the fire button allows you to check the current power setting, the LED will light solid in the corresponding colour for two seconds.




The device also has 3 tiers of battery status indication which is shown by what colour the LED lights while vaping, the percentages are the following:

Green = 60% - 100%
Blue = 20% - 60%
Red = 0% - 20%




Finally the iJust AIO device has all the usual protections you would expect which if they kick in are indicated by various flashes from the LED.

___________________________________________________________________



Protections:

Over-charge Protection
Over-discharge Protection
Over-current Protection
Over 10s Protection
Short Circuit Protection



___________________________________________________________________



Charging

The Charge rate isn't given but it took around 2 hours to charge so about 1A max during charging which is a bit sluggish but the device does support pass-through. While charging the LED lights solid Red and once fully charged the light goes off.

My Experience Using The iJust AIO KIt, And Thoughts!

Pod and AIO devices are not everyone's cup of tea especially those into rebuildables but their are many that have embraced them while others are warming to them as they improve.

I am a mod and RTA vaper myself but come in the category of warming to pod and AIO devices as they improve but i must admit i was surprised by this device thinking it might be too basic for my personal liking, well it is a simple device but it's executed so well i really like it.

Adjustable airflow, refillable, replaceable coils, can see juice level at all times, fill without moving the pod, DL and MTL (mtl coil not included), 3 different power levels, 3 tiers of battery status indication and decent battery for it's portable size, that's a lot of boxes ticked.

The power settings work well with a clear difference between the 3 when using the 0.6ohm coil although the TPD compliant 2ml capacity is a bit lacking for this coil but at least filling is quick and easy. I have always found Eleaf coils better than they are given credit for and this pod with the 0.6ohm coil installed is very similar to the vape and flavour the better disposable sub-ohm tanks give which is pretty darn good and no issues with longevity. I have been using this as a second device for 2 weeks and despite getting sent a pack of spare coils i still have the original coil installed.

The airflow adjustment works really well and when closed down to barely open i can get a loose MTL with the 0.6ohm coil so the not included 1.2ohm MTL coil with it's narrower bore should give a decent MTL vape, as it is the included 0.6ohm coil is a semi restrictive lung hit fully open.

Also these type of pods with press fitted coil heads tend to leak to varying degrees but i am finding any moisture present when removing the pod minimal which could just as easily be condensation so very happy! If using as your main device a charge during the day will possibly be needed with the 0.6ohm coil dependant on how much you vape but if you use the optional 1.2ohm coil head then this will last most vapers all day.

So plenty to like but like most things it could be better, the biggest con for me is only one coil included, i really think the 1.2ohm coil head should also come with the kit. This is not an expensive kit and Eleaf obviously are trying to keep it as cheap as possible but do they not watch or read reviews that universally and constantly say these types of kits have to come with at least 2 coils.

The only other minor cons for me is the sluggish charging and when in the pocket the pod can rotate so the airflow needs readjusting but apart from that, it's a little gem!

Hello everyone,

I joined this forum cause it's Q-time and I was done reading all my other forums on the UK side of things, but thought I might as well see what everyone else is saying in the world during this time.

Just want to tell everyone a little bit about myself. I've been vaping since 2019 and I recently started to vape on pods but now I am starting to think about building again ( cause im bored ) haha.. Anyways, I like fruit and candy flavored E-Liquid, I think all bans and FDA regulations need HELP! As much help as the Trump administration for handling the Epidemic. I mean lets face it our whole Constitution and laws need to be re-done …1776 Laws are a bit out dated wouldn't you think? haha…
Please don't take anything I say to heart, it's honestly just meant to poke and make fun, im sarcastic a lot of the time. Hope you guys can handle my Weirdness, yes… I am literally weird…
Thank you for having me and I look forward to commenting and posting up here often about things that bother me, I don't know about, need help on, and help in general ..

Stay Happy - and Stay Vappy

Looking for facts or personal opinions from experience for which cell you would reccomend to give the hardest hit off a single 18650 battery mech mod. Appreciate any feedback.

One thing that is quickly apparent when joining the vaping community is how exceptionally helpful people are. Vapers are happy to encourage, support and help people who smoke switch to far safer alternatives, whether in a social media group, online forum, local vape shop or just a stranger on the street asking about vaping. Most vape shop owners say they opened their stores because they wanted to help people quit smoking like they did.

Even as vapers and vape shops contend with reduced access to low-risk products due to forced closures, flavor bans and looming regulations, their thoughts turn to helping others.

Along with working at the vape shop, Skip is a Direct Service Professional at a company with 4 group homes in her area. A huge advocate for vaping, she became a Tobacco Harm Reduction Specialist for the Minnesota Smoke Free Alliance, a grass-roots advocacy group promoting tobacco harm reduction policies.

When the COVID-19 outbreak started to impact her community, Skip’s giving nature kicked into high gear. So far, she, her family and her coworkers have donated bottles, disposable and N95 face masks, and more than 16 gallons of hand sanitizer to first responders. They are also donating groceries and even crafting supplies for families with special needs children.

As Skip was dealing with reduced business and income at the vape shop, she was running donated supplies around town and then working her other job, while proudly sharing stories on social media of other vapers and small vape businesses helping out their communities...

I understand that with everything going on that shipping from China to the US is taking much longer than normal. However, I have submitted two tickets to the help desk on the website and have not gotten a response. One was well over a week ago. I didn't record the id numbers and when I put in my email to have the id sent to me then I never receive anything from healthcabin. And yes, I did check my spam folder. So, how long is the expected time frame that one should expect a response from the help desk after submitting a ticket?

Okay, I just want to be sure about something.
If I were to, let's say. Purchase a tfv12 cloud beast king, from a cheap Chinese website with slow shipping
And vape it at 220watts.

What would the possible dangers be.
Because imo this tank seems as sturdy as an official smok one, doesn't leak, and looks official. But it's not

I just want to be sure before I blow my head off with this ....

Hello To you all I'm a newbie here and need to test some of your brains
Can anyone tell me if i mix 50ml of 40mg base liquid with 50ml of 72mg base liquid
What strength will I have.
I've just ordered a new bottle of 72mg but I've still got some 40mg left so i want to mix it together.
I am normally quite good with the calculations but this one's got me scratching my head
Thanks for the help if you can

With new vaping ban, Palo Alto expects smoke shops to shutter

...the council voted 4-3 to move ahead with a ban on electronic cigarettes and flavored tobacco. In doing so, it rejected a proposal from city staff to exempt from the ban adult-only stores that would likely have to shutter as a result of the ban. Once the ban takes effect later this year, it would leave Palo Alto with one of the region's most stringent prohibitions on vaping, effectively banning sales of all vaping equipment and flavored tobacco throughout the city.

The Bizarre Attack On Vaping

But why stop there? Obesity also is a major threat to health, so why not ban cakes, pies, pasta, and french fries? And big gulps (oh, wait, that’s already happening)?

And mandate broccoli consumption as well, along with a government-required five-mile jog on days that end in “y”.

At the risk of understatement, the right solution is to let adults make their own decisions. The FDA should quit its harassment campaign against vaping.

I have a lot of mods, this is the first half I’m selling. Many older collector pieces, a few not so rare and a few rare. If your a collector, then you know most of these already. Including the elusive Fogatti Hybrid. If anyone would like more pictures, just comment and I’ll post. Prices vary, or OBO. I’m not getting out of vaping by any means, but most of these have been sitting on my “vaping bookshelf”. I’ve been in the game for a long time, owned a b&m, but my love for collecting stop a long while ago. So I hope these goto good homes that will appreciate them. Most of them are like new and lightly used. Will be thoroughly cleaned and sterile before shipping if sold. Thanks guys and have. Great day!
