Understanding Coil Types in the SMOK RPM Lineup  

The Overview of Mesh Coils  

The mesh type of coils are made out of a flat, net-like shaped metal strip. As the strip heats up, it heats up faster and even improves the efficiency of vapor creation. Consequently, the vapor produced is richer in flavor and dense. This is beneficial for those that enjoy direct lung (DL) vaping. Smok mesh coils are optimized to work with freebase nicotine e-liquids and slightly higher wattages. This makes them ideal for cloud chasers and flavor seekers.

Understanding MTL Mesh Coil 

MTL mesh coils focus on the mouth-to-lung (MTL) style of vaping, which mimics a cigarette draw. These coils implement the same mesh style, but they have more constricted airflow and are designed for a lower wattage. The flavor still remains great, but vapor production is more limited. Best of all, they’re great for salt nicotine e-liquids, and they deliver a satisfying hit to the throat, but don’t overwhelm the lungs. This combination makes MTL devices popular with those who are transitioning from smoking. 

Acceptable with SMOK RPM 40 Replacement Pods 

The good news? Both coil types work with the Smok RPM 40 replacement pods, but there is a caveat to this. It is very important to use the correct pod for the coil type being used. Some RPM pods are designed for mesh coils, while others perform better with MTL mesh coil airflow. Make sure to always check your pod and coil combination to optimize your RPM 40 Smok device.

Mesh vs MTL Mesh Coils - The Main Differences  

Airflow Experience Comparison  

Mesh coils give a nice wide draw that works very well for direct lung (DL) inhaling. You will not have to work hard to inhale at all and with each puff you will be able to create large clouds. MTL mesh coils work for mouth-to-lung (MTL) vaping but with a tighter cigarette-like draw to it. If you prefer to inhale tighter lung hits, then MTL is a better fit for you.  

Nicotine Delivery and Throat Hit 

MTL mesh coils do best with higher-strength e-liquids and nicotine salts. They deliver a strong but non harsh throat hit, which is something a lot of ex-smokers love. In contrast, mesh coils do better with freebase e-juice, especially those that contain lower nicotine levels. These tend to be smooth to inhale and for sub-ohm users, will not have much throat impact. Choose your coil according to how strong of a nicotine punch you wish to have.

Flavor Production & Cloud Density

Due to their rapid heating and even heating properties, saturated flavors are dynamically bold and provide a strong superfine sensation with immense vapor production. Discrete vapers, on the other hand, will prefer MTL mesh due to its low vapor production during hits. For those who love flavor MTL will be their best choice. However, those who love vapor and powerful hits should select mesh.

When to Use Mesh Coils with Your SMOK RPM Device

Ideal with Direct Lung (DL) Vaping

 Vapers who love inhaling directly into their lungs will definitely consider using a mesh coil. Due to the open airflow and speed of heating, pulling hits is intense and smooth at the same time. For those who love a restrained draw and bold powerful flavor, deep hits mesh is the answer.

Best Wattage for SMOK Mesh Coils  

Most RPM Smok mesh coils work best in the 25W to 40W range. Start to break in the coil and prevent burning. Gradually increase wattage from the lower end until you reach the perfect balance of flavor and vapor. Within this range, extending coil life and making the experience smooth is possible. If the coil is overpowered, there will be dry hits and wasted juice.  

E-Liquid Suggestions  

Obtain best results by using freebase e-liquids with a 70/30 VG/PG blend. A thicker consistency is good with mesh coils and enhances cloud production. Do not use high strength nicotine salts, as they can be overly harsh at higher wattages. If you use nic salts, keep to very low strengths like 3-6mg. For the best vaping experience, always match e-liquids to the coil type.

When To Use MTL With SMOK RPM Coils

Perfect For Mouth-To-Lung (MTL) Style

MTL mesh coils are perfect for those who have just switched from cigarettes or prefer tight, controlled draws. These coils provide a smooth and controlled inhale that is slower and easier. This style of inhaling is similar to traditional smoking. The airflow is restrained which enhances throat hit and vapor production. For those who enjoy a slower pace and stealth vapor, MTL mesh is perfect. MTL mesh brings comfort to your vaping style and control to your draw. 

Nic Salt & E-Liquids 20mg and Above 

MTL coils are meant to be used with salts and high-strength nicotine e-liquids, which is around 20mg and above. The lower power of the MTL coils makes the process much smoother without choke hits to the throat. This effect helps to curb the nicotine cravings with a smoother experience to enjoy. It decreases the number of puffs needed to enjoy the nicotine hit and is the best option to replace smoking. Just make sure to have the right wattage to avoid any harshness.

Power Use & Coil Longevity

With MTL mesh coils, one of the advantages is their efficiency. MTL coils are less power consuming. Therefore, the battery of your pod Smok 40 RPM will have a longer life. Moreover, these coils last a long time, about 2 weeks or longer, although proper maintenance is necessary. While vaping at lower watt amounts, the strain on the coil, using e-liquid, and costs are all lower. The benefits of vaping at these wattages are less refills, limited waste, and greater value for your dollars spent.

RPM 40 Pod Mod by SMOK - Recommendations

The Best Ways to Prime Your Coils

Always remember to add a few drops of e-liquid to the cotton ports of the coil before using a new one. This makes sure the cotton is able to soak up juice before the heating process starts. Fill your pod after the coil is set, and for the best results, don't puff for the first 10 minutes. Burnt cotton is the only way one can damage a coil, so don't skip this simple and necessary step. Priming is important not only for taste but for the life of the coil.

Changing the Wattage for Better Performance  

Each Smok RPM coil has a specific wattage range for best performance. To prevent coil burnout, avoid starting at the range’s upper limit. If the range is 25 - 40W, starting at 30W is a reasonable jump. From there, increase wattage gradually until your sweet spot is found. Shortened coil life is a downside to increased flavor, vapor, and wattage. Performance and durability will always be best when staying within a coil’s safe limits.  

How to Prevent Burnt Coils and Dry Hits  

Never allow your RPM pod to run dry if you wish to avoid burning your coil, and always refill when your e-liquid is at half tank. Between puffs, allow for a few seconds of rest so the cotton can fully re-saturate, to allow proper soaking. If cotton is overly soaked, dry hits, which will harm the coil, are bound to happen and aren’t the best to taste. Good habits will always aid in coil preservation and boosting vaping enjoyment.

Conclusion

The SMOK RPM coil game is strong but it all comes down to how you vape. Mesh coils hit harder, deliver huge clouds, and work best with lower nicotine. MTL mesh coils are smoother, discreet, and perfect for quitting smokers or anyone using nic salts. Choose wisely, vape smart, and enjoy the performance of your SMOK RPM 40 pod mod to the fullest.
