First Things First: The Design

Design is usually where everyone starts, isn’t it? You look at a kit, you hold it in your hand, and you instantly know whether it feels right or not. The Smok RPM 85 has gone down the route of smooth curves and a finish that leans towards both sturdy and flashy, depending on the colour you choose.

There’s the Matte 7-Colour Plating that looks like it’s been nicked from a sci-fi film.

Then you’ve got Matte Blue, Matte Gold, Matte Gunmetal, and Matte Red for those who want something a bit more classic but still noticeable.

In terms of size, rpm 85 is ergonomic – meaning it doesn’t jab your palm when you grip it. The edges are rounded rather than boxy, so sliding it into a pocket isn’t a chore. Right at the front, a 1.45-inch TFT colour screen sits proudly, showing you wattage, puff count, battery life, and all that good stuff. The screen’s big enough that you don’t squint, but not so big that it feels like you’re carrying a tablet.

The buttons? Straightforward. No confusing arrangements. Just a sensible layout that makes sense the moment you pick it up.

And then we get to coils, the unsung heroes of any vape. The RPM 85 works with the RPM 3 coil series, which gives you options:

1. 0.15 Ohm mesh coil for those direct-to-lung sessions.
2. 0.23 Ohm coil for a balance of vapour and flavour.
