Overview
This Smok RPM 85 review covers the 85W RPM 85 pod mod kit we sell in the UAE. It has the largest battery of the Smok kits we list, 3000mAh, and a 6ml pod, so it is built for people who want to vape through a long day without charging. The listing also gives a 0.96-inch colour screen, a sliding top fill, a rotating airflow ring and USB-C fast charging, at AED 150. Below we cover the specifications, who it suits, the coil match and what to check before you order in Dubai. It is based on the product listing on this site, not on lab testing.

Smok RPM 85 review: quick verdict and who it suits
The RPM 85 is the long-battery direct-to-lung kit in the Smok range we list. It has up to 85W, a 3000mAh built-in battery and a 6ml pod at AED 150, the same price as the Nord 5 with a much larger battery.
It is a bigger device than the Novo kits and is meant for a looser draw. If you want something pocket-sized with a tight draw, read the Novo 6 review instead, and for a smaller 2000mAh option see the RPM 5 review.
Who should buy it
Buy the RPM 85 if battery life is your priority, you like a loose direct-to-lung draw, and you want a colour screen and a sliding top fill that makes refilling quick.
Who should skip it
Skip it if you want a small, light kit or a gentle draw. The listing describes a zinc alloy body and a button-activated, variable-wattage design, so it is bulkier than the auto-draw pods.
Specifications and what is in the listing
The listing gives the following for this Smok RPM 85 review: output 5 to 85W, a 3000mAh built-in battery, a 6ml pod, RPM 3 coils with optional RPM 2 coil use on a compatible pod, a sliding top fill, a rotating airflow ring, a 0.96-inch TFT colour display, Type-C fast charging, a zinc alloy body with a TPU pod, RDL or DL vaping style and button activation.
The two details that matter most are the 3000mAh battery and the dual coil compatibility. Most Smok kits we list take one coil family only, while the RPM 85 can use RPM 3 and, with a compatible pod, RPM 2 coils.
Smok RPM 85 power, battery and draw
Power runs from 5W to 85W in variable-wattage mode. As with all direct-to-lung kits, the coil sets the useful range, so start low and increase until the flavour is right. The 3000mAh battery means you can use higher power without charging several times a day.
Pods and coils
The listing says the kit uses RPM 3 coils and RPM 2 coils with a compatible pod. Check the pod name in the listing before you order spares. Replacement pods and coils are on the store.
Everyday use and upkeep
The sliding top fill opens from the top of the pod, which makes refilling quick and clean, and the 6ml pod holds enough for a long day. The rotating airflow ring lets you open or close the draw.
Charge with Type-C, keep the kit out of a parked car in Dubai heat and let a new coil soak before the first draw. Coil life depends on the user, so we do not quote a single figure.
How it compares with similar kits
The table compares the RPM 85 with three other Smok and Voopoo kits we list, using figures from the product titles and listings.
| Kit | Power | Battery | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Smok RPM 85 | 5-85W | 3000mAh | AED 150 |
| Smok RPM 5 | 5-80W | 2000mAh | AED 140 |
| Smok Nord 5 | 5-80W | 2000mAh | AED 150 |
| Voopoo Argus Pro | Up to 80W | 3000mAh | AED 150 |
The Argus Pro matches the RPM 85 on battery and costs the same, with a smaller 4.5ml pod and different coils. The RPM 5 and Nord 5 have 1000mAh less and cost AED 10 less or the same respectively.
UAE rules, nicotine strength and safe use
Electronic nicotine products sold in the UAE fall under a national standard, which you can read about on the UAE.S 5030:2018 standard (MoIAT). Direct-to-lung kits are usually used with lower-strength liquids, so check the nicotine strength on the bottle and buy only from a licensed seller. Rules can change, so confirm current limits with MOIAT rather than relying on any blog post.
The NHS says vaping is less harmful than smoking but not risk-free, and that it is not for people who do not smoke or for children. We sell only to adults aged 21 and over. Keep devices, pods, coils and liquids away from children and pets.
This post is general product information, not medical or legal advice, and we make no claim that vaping helps anyone quit smoking.
Price, delivery and final verdict
The RPM 85 is listed at AED 150. Prices and stock change, so check the product page before you order.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| 3000mAh battery and up to 85W | Bulkier than pod-style kits |
| 6ml pod with a sliding top fill | Direct-to-lung draw is not for everyone |
| 0.96-inch colour screen and Type-C fast charging | AED 150, more than the Nord 50W or Novo 6 |
| Works with RPM 3 coils, and RPM 2 with a compatible pod | Button-activated, so no auto-draw |
Our verdict: the Smok RPM 85 is the one to choose if you want the biggest battery and a large pod in a Smok kit.
