Your Complete Guide to SMOK RPM 2 Coils
Posted by Chris on
So, you've got a SMOK device and you're ready to get the best possible flavour and vapour out of it. Let's talk about the heart of your vape: the SMOK RPM 2 coil. Think of it as the engine under the hood—it's what does all the heavy lifting to turn your e-liquid into the rich, satisfying vapour you're after.
These little powerhouses are specifically designed for a whole family of popular SMOK devices, and they're the single biggest factor in determining how your vape feels and tastes.
Finding Your Perfect Vape with RPM 2 Coils
Picking the right coil isn't just a small tweak; it's the most critical decision you'll make for your daily vape. It’s what separates a vape that’s all about massive, dense clouds from one that’s focused on pulling out every subtle note of flavour from your juice.
It’s a bit like choosing tires for a car. You wouldn't put skinny road tires on a 4x4 heading for the trails, right? And you wouldn't put chunky off-road tires on a sports car meant for the track. Vaping is the same idea. Your coil needs to match your goal. The SMOK RPM 2 coil lineup gives you a couple of fantastic options, each built for a different style of vaping, so you can really dial in the experience you want.
Curious about what’s happening inside that tiny metal cylinder? It's actually pretty straightforward:
- The Heating Element: This is a strip of mesh or a traditional wire that gets hot the moment you press the fire button.
- The Wicking Material: Pure, organic cotton is packed around that heating element, acting like a sponge to soak up your e-liquid.
- The Magic Moment: When the element heats up, it instantly vaporizes the e-liquid held in the cotton, creating the vapour you inhale. Simple as that.
Once you get a handle on what makes these coils tick, choosing the right one becomes second nature. This is how you guarantee every puff is just right, whether you're a cloud chaser or a flavour fanatic.
And for all our local vapers, getting your hands on genuine RPM 2 coils is a breeze. Here at Wii Vape in Toronto, we offer same-day delivery across the GTA, so you can get back to what you love without the wait. Stick with us as we dive deeper into the different types, which devices they work with, and some pro tips to make them last.
Choosing Your Perfect RPM 2 Coil
Picking the right RPM 2 coil is where the magic really happens. This is how you take a great device and truly make it yours, fine-tuning it to deliver the exact kind of vape you're after, whether that's intense flavour or massive clouds.
To break it down, let's think about it like choosing a camera lens.
The RPM 2 Mesh 0.16ohm coil is your wide-angle lens. It's designed to capture the biggest picture possible—or in our case, produce huge, dense clouds of vapour. The mesh inside heats up super fast and evenly over a large surface, which is exactly what you want for a big, airy, Direct-Lung (DL) inhale.
On the other hand, the RPM 2 DC 0.6ohm coil is more like a zoom lens. It zeroes in, concentrating all its power on delivering a sharp, intense, and flavour-packed hit. This is the perfect setup for Mouth-to-Lung (MTL) vapers who love a tighter draw that mimics a traditional cigarette and puts flavour front and centre.
Still not sure? This little guide should help point you in the right direction based on what you want most from your vape.

As you can see, it all starts with one simple question: clouds or flavour? From there, the choice becomes crystal clear.
RPM 2 Coil At-a-Glance Comparison
If you're looking for a quick reference, this table breaks down everything you need to know to find the perfect RPM 2 coil for your setup and favourite e-liquid.
| Coil Type | Resistance | Recommended Wattage | Best Vaping Style | Ideal E-Liquid |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RPM 2 Mesh | 0.16ohm | 25W-50W (Best at 40W) | Direct-Lung (DL) | High VG (70% VG or higher) |
| RPM 2 DC | 0.6ohm | 12W-25W | Mouth-to-Lung (MTL) | Nic Salts or 50/50 Blends |
Just find the vaping style that matches yours, and you’ll have your answer!
The Mesh 0.16ohm Coil for Cloud Chasers
Built from the ground up for pure performance, the Mesh 0.16ohm coil is the undisputed champion for sub-ohm vaping in the RPM 2 family. Its super-low resistance means it can handle more power, turning your vape into a true cloud machine.
- Resistance: 0.16 ohms
- Recommended Wattage: 25W - 50W (hits the sweet spot at 40W)
- Vaping Style: Direct-Lung (DL)
- Best E-Liquid Pairing: You'll want thicker e-liquids with a high Vegetable Glycerin (VG) ratio—think 70% VG or more. This thicker consistency works perfectly with the coil's larger juice ports, preventing any messy leaks while producing that thick, satisfying vapour.
This coil is all about a smooth, warm, and wonderfully airy vape. If you love exhaling impressive clouds but don't want to compromise on good flavour, you've found your match.
The DC 0.6ohm Coil for Flavour Aficionados
For vapers who are all about taste, the DC (Dual Coil) 0.6ohm option is a game-changer. Its higher resistance and more restricted airflow are specifically designed to concentrate the vapour, pulling out every last delicious note from your e-liquid.
The secret is its dual coil build, which heats up instantly and does an amazing job of reproducing flavour. It’s a huge favourite among MTL vapers who want a really defined and punchy taste from their juice.
Here’s a quick look at the specs:
- Resistance: 0.6 ohms
- Recommended Wattage: 12W - 25W
- Vaping Style: Mouth-to-Lung (MTL)
- Best E-Liquid Pairing: This coil shines with thinner e-liquids like nicotine salts or balanced 50/50 VG/PG blends. These runnier juices are easily absorbed by the smaller wicking channels, giving you a smooth throat hit without any dreaded dry puffs.
Getting a handle on the basics of how coils are made can really help you dial in your perfect vape. If you're curious to learn more about how different materials and designs affect performance, you can dive deeper into the science behind wicks and wires in our detailed guide.
At the end of the day, picking between these two RPM 2 coils is all about what you enjoy more: incredible clouds or unforgettable flavour.
Which SMOK Devices Can I Use RPM 2 Coils With?
"Will these RPM 2 coils actually fit my vape?" This is probably the most common question we get, and for good reason. In the vaping world, not all parts are created equal, and getting the right fit is everything. Think of it like trying to use the wrong key for a lock; if it's not a perfect match, it's just not going to work. The same principle applies to your vape's pod and coil.
The RPM 2 coil series was specifically designed to be part of a high-performance family of SMOK devices. These coils won't just slot into any old pod. They're engineered to create a perfect, leak-free seal inside the matching RPM 2 Pod. It's this hand-in-glove relationship between the pod and coil that unlocks the incredible flavour and vapour they're known for.

When every part works together just right, you sidestep messy leaks and annoying performance glitches. Nailing this combination means you can buy your gear with confidence, knowing you'll get the exact experience you're looking for.
Popular Devices That Use RPM 2 Coils
So, which devices are in the RPM 2 club? The list features some of SMOK's most beloved and powerful kits, all respected for their reliability and impressive output. If you've got one of these in your collection, you're good to go.
- SMOK Nord 4 Kit: A massive fan-favourite, the Nord 4 is famous for its flexibility. It comes with both an RPM 2 pod and an original RPM pod, giving you a huge menu of coil options to choose from.
- SMOK RPM 2 & RPM 2S Kits: These are the OG devices for this coil series. They were literally built from the ground up to get the absolute most out of the RPM 2 coils.
- SMOK Scar-P3 & Scar-P5 Kits: Built tough and known for their shockproof design, the Scar series devices also depend on the power and flavour of the RPM 2 platform.
- SMOK Thallo & Thallo S Kits: These sleek pod mods also rely on the RPM 2 pod and coil system to deliver a seriously satisfying vape.
- Latest additions: The compatibility list is always growing, with newer devices like the SMOK Nord X, IPX 80, and G-Priv Pod Kits also joining the family and using these versatile coils.
The SMOK Nord 4 really stands out from the pack because of its dual-pod system. If you want to learn more about how it works, check out our complete guide to the Nord 4 coil system.
Why Is Compatibility Such a Big Deal?
The vaping industry moves fast. New hardware with better features is always just around the corner, which is a big reason the vape market keeps growing as new tech and vaper demands push things forward.
This constant need to improve is exactly why product lines like the RPM 2 coils exist. SMOK didn't just make a new coil; they developed a whole new system to keep up with more powerful devices, creating something far more efficient and capable than what came before it.
By designing a dedicated pod and coil system, manufacturers can perfectly dial in the airflow, wicking channels, and electrical contacts for the best possible performance. It ensures that when you pop a genuine RPM 2 coil into its matching pod and device, you're getting the exact experience the designers wanted you to have. That kind of attention to detail makes all the difference in every puff.
How to Install Your New Coil Like a Pro
Swapping out your RPM 2 coils should be a breeze, not a chore that makes you want to pull your hair out. When you get it right, you're rewarded with amazing flavour from the very first puff and a coil that actually lasts. Let's walk through the process, focusing on the one step that makes or breaks a new coil: priming.
Think of it this way: you wouldn't throw a dry sponge on a hot skillet. The same goes for your coil. The fresh, dry cotton inside needs to be completely soaked with e-liquid before you introduce any heat. If you skip this, the cotton just burns. That’s what we call a "dry hit," and it delivers a nasty, scorched taste that instantly ruins your brand-new coil.
Taking a minute to prime it properly is the secret to a great vaping experience, every single time. So, let’s do this the right way.
Step-by-Step Installation Guide
Just follow these simple steps for a perfect coil swap. This method works for pretty much any compatible device, including the popular SMOK Nord 4.
- Pop the Pod Out: First thing's first, pull the magnetic pod straight out of your device. No need to force it; a gentle tug is all it takes.
- Yank the Old Coil: Flip the pod over. You’ll see the base of the old coil. It’s just press-fitted in there, so grab it firmly and pull it straight out. It might be a little snug, but there’s no twisting or unscrewing involved.
- Prime the New Coil: This is where the magic happens. Grab your shiny new RPM 2 coil and drip a few drops of your e-liquid right onto the cotton you can see through the little windows on the sides. For good measure, add a drop or two straight down the middle. You'll see the cotton darken as it soaks up the juice—that's a good sign!
Don’t be shy with the e-liquid here. You really want to make sure every last fibre of that cotton is saturated before it ever meets heat. This one simple step is your best defence against that dreaded burnt taste.
Finalizing the Installation
Okay, your new coil is primed and ready to go. You're just a couple of quick steps away from that fresh-coil flavour.
- Seat the New Coil: Look at the base of the new coil—you’ll see it has flat sides. Just line those up with the opening in the pod and push it in firmly until it’s sitting flush. That press-fit design is what keeps everything sealed up tight and leak-free.
- Fill’er Up and Wait: Open the little rubber plug on your pod and fill it with your e-liquid. Once it’s full, let the pod sit upright for at least 5-10 minutes. Seriously, don't skip this wait time. It gives the cotton a chance to soak up even more liquid from the pod, making absolutely sure it's ready.
- Set Your Wattage and Vape: Click the pod back into your device. Before you take a puff, glance at your screen and set the wattage to the recommended range for your specific RPM 2 coil. A good pro-tip is to start at the low end of that range and slowly work your way up. It’s a great way to gently break in the new coil.
Following this routine helps you dodge all the common pitfalls of changing a coil. It’s a simple habit that pays off big time in both flavour and how long your coils last.
Troubleshooting Common Coil Problems
Sooner or later, even with the best gear, you're bound to hit a snag. But don't sweat it. Most of the little quirks you'll encounter with RPM 2 coils are surprisingly easy to fix once you know what to look for. Whether you're dealing with gurgling, a messy leak, or that awful burnt taste, we'll get you sorted out and back to a great vape.

More often than not, the culprit is something simple. Maybe your wattage is set a bit too high, the e-liquid you're using isn't quite right for the coil, or it's just time to swap out an old coil for a fresh one. Let's walk through the usual suspects and how to handle them.
Fixing a Gurgling or Leaking Coil
Hearing a gurgling or spitting sound from your pod? That's the textbook sign of a flooded coil. It just means the cotton wick has soaked up more e-liquid than it can turn into vapour, leaving a little puddle of juice sitting in the coil's airway.
Think of a flooded coil like an oversaturated sponge. Once it can't hold any more water, it just starts to drip. Your job is to clear that excess liquid out.
Here’s a quick fix that works like a charm:
- Pop the pod out of your device and wrap a paper towel around the mouthpiece.
- Give it a few sharp flicks downward, like you’re trying to reset an old-school thermometer. This little trick uses centrifugal force to push that trapped e-liquid out of the airway and onto the paper towel.
- Wipe everything down, click the pod back into place, and you should be good to go. The gurgling will be gone.
If you find your coil is still leaking, take a look at your e-liquid. If it’s too thin, it can cause problems. A high-PG liquid, for instance, is a bit too runny for a sub-ohm coil like the Mesh 0.16ohm RPM 2 coil and can easily seep through its larger wicking ports.
Eliminating That Burnt Taste
Ugh, there's nothing that ruins a vape session faster than the harsh, charred taste of a dry hit. This almost always happens because the cotton wick wasn't properly soaked with e-liquid before you started vaping, causing it to scorch the moment it heats up.
The main reasons this happens are:
- Forgetting to Prime: This is the big one. Skipping the step of dripping e-liquid onto a new coil and letting it sit for 5-10 minutes is the most common mistake people make.
- Pushing the Wattage: Vaping above the coil’s recommended wattage range vaporizes juice faster than the cotton can re-saturate, leading straight to a burnt hit.
- Chain Vaping: Taking one puff right after another doesn't give the wick enough time to soak up more e-liquid. Just pause for a few seconds between draws.
Once a coil is burnt, that nasty taste is there to stay—the only real fix is to replace it. Taking a few moments to prime your coils correctly and keeping an eye on your wattage is the absolute best way to make sure every one of your RPM 2 coils lasts as long as it should.

Got Questions About RPM 2 Coils? We’ve Got Answers.
Here are some of the most common questions we get from vapers about SMOK RPM 2 coils. Think of this as your personal cheat sheet for getting the most out of your gear.
How Long Should My RPM 2 Coil Last?
Realistically, you can expect an RPM 2 coil to last anywhere from one to two weeks. But that's not a hard and fast rule; it really depends on your personal vaping habits.
If you’re a heavy vaper, use super-sweet e-liquids, or push your wattage to the max, you might find yourself changing it more often. Those sweet juices are notorious for gunking up coils. The tell-tale signs it’s time for a swap are a weak, muted flavour or that dreaded burnt taste.
Can I Use Nicotine Salts With the 0.16ohm Mesh Coil?
We get this one a lot, and the short answer is: please don't. Using high-strength nicotine salts with the powerful RPM 2 Mesh 0.16ohm coil is a recipe for a really unpleasant, harsh experience. That coil is built for big clouds and direct-lung inhales at high power.
If you're a fan of nic salts, you'll have a much better time with the RPM 2 DC 0.6ohm MTL coil. It’s designed for the lower-wattage, mouth-to-lung style that makes nic salts shine, giving you a smooth and satisfying hit.
What's the Real Difference Between RPM and RPM 2 Coils?
This is a crucial one: RPM and RPM 2 coils are two completely separate families. They are not interchangeable and won't fit in each other's pods. It’s like trying to use a Ford key to start a Honda—it just won’t work.
Think of it this way: RPM 2 coils are generally beefier and designed for the newer, more powerful devices like the Nord 4. Always, always double-check you’re buying the right coil series for your specific device to avoid leaks and frustration.
Why Does My Brand New Coil Taste Burnt?
A burnt taste right out of the box is almost always a priming issue. Before you even think about firing up a new coil, you have to let the cotton wick get completely soaked in e-liquid. This isn't a step you can rush!
Drip some juice directly onto the cotton, install it, fill your pod, and then let it sit for a good 5-10 minutes. Firing it with even a small dry spot will scorch the cotton instantly and ruin the coil for good. It's also smart to start at the lower end of the recommended wattage range printed on the coil itself and work your way up.
