SMOK RPM 5 and RPM 5 Pro

Checked October 26, 2026

SMOK RPM 5 vs RPM 5 Pro

The SMOK RPM 5 and RPM 5 Pro differ mainly in length and battery, by SMOK's spec sheet: the RPM 5 measures 122.5 by 29.5 by 31.2 mm and has a 2,000 mAh internal battery, while the RPM 5 Pro measures 129.4 by 29.5 by 31.2 mm and its table lists no battery capacity.1

SMOK says internal and external battery versions are offered. Coil range differs slightly too: 0.15 to 2.0 ohm on the RPM 5 and 0.15 to 2.50 ohm on the RPM 5 Pro. Both are listed on SMOK's RPM 5 and RPM 5 Pro page.

SMOK RPM 5 Pod and Coils

The SMOK RPM 5 pod holds 6.5 mL in the standard edition, and SMOK lists 2 mL editions for EU and CA markets.1

Each kit comes with an RPM 3 Meshed 0.15 ohm coil installed and a 0.23 ohm RPM 3 coil in the box, the same pair the SMOK Nord 5 uses. SMOK says the RPM 5 is designed for direct-to-lung (DL) vaping.

SMOK RPM 5 Screen and Charging

The SMOK RPM 5 screen is a 0.96 inch TFT with a theme color you can change, SMOK says, and power adjusts from 5W to 80W.1

Both models charge over USB Type-C at a maximum of 1.4A, according to the RPM 5 and RPM 5 Pro spec sheet. SMOK offers the pair in 8 colors.

The SMOK RPM 5 is not FDA authorized, and without a marketing order neither it nor the RPM 5 Pro can be legally sold under federal rules.2

The FDA's January 16, 2024 denials hit 22 SMOK products, including the older RPM 40, and the agency says none of the 22 is an RPM 5 product.3

How to Spot a Fake SMOK RPM 5

To spot a fake SMOK RPM 5, use SMOK's AB-QR code: scan Code A on the outer package with the IVPS Tour app (version 2.2.1 or later) to see whether the kit has been activated and how often the code has been scanned, then scan Code B to activate and bind it.4

SMOK says to pass over a product the app reports as fake or not genuine, and to contact it if the app says the code is not recorded yet.
