Looking for a super durable and waterproof vape kit? Then, The SMOK IPX80 is here to answer all your needs! This vape kit is built to handle anything you throw at it—shockproof, waterproof, and dustproof. Plus, it features adjustable wattage, dual airflow control, and a seriously impressive battery capacity. But let's get to the real question: How does the SMOK IPX80 perform when it comes to flavor? Without wasting any time, here's everything you need to know about it!

The SMOK IPX 80 Vape Kit's Structure Explained

On the front, you'll find a square power button, a 0.96-inch full-color display, and two small square adjustment buttons. The screen is bright, colorful, and super easy to read.

On both sides of the device, there are dials you can twist to adjust the airflow. Turning them counterclockwise opens the airflow, while clockwise closes it—simple and convenient!

The pod is made from durable PCTG plastic and has a semi-transparent window so you can keep an eye on your juice levels. However, since the pod is firmly attached to the battery section with strong magnets, only about half of the juice capacity is visible while in use.

The IPX80 kit comes with two RPM2 mesh coils. One has a 0.6-ohm resistance for a smoother experience, while the other is a robust 0.16-ohm coil for more intense performance.

At the bottom, there's a Type-C charging port protected by a rubber plug to keep everything waterproof.

SMOK IPX 80 Vape Kit's Technical Highlights

TFT Color Screen

The SMOK IPX80 has a 0.96-inch TFT color screen that displays essential information like battery life, wattage, resistance, and puff count. It's super intuitive to use, with easy navigation for wattage adjustment and lock/unlock functions. Battery life is shown as an icon with a percentage, and the wattage is displayed as large white numbers in the center of the screen. Below that, you'll see the coil resistance, voltage, puff counter, and puff time.

Wattage Locking

To lock the wattage, press and hold the + and - buttons. You can still fire the device, but the wattage won't change.

Lock Device

Tap the fire button three times to lock the device. When locked, the device won't fire, and the wattage cannot be adjusted.

Clear Puff Counter

To reset the puff counter, simultaneously press the fire buttonand left menu buttons together.

Change Screen Color

Hold the fire button and the + button to change the screen color. You can choose between white, blue, green, red, yellow, or purple.

Coil Options

The IPX80 is compatible with RPM 2 coils, offering options from MTL (mouth-to-lung) to DTL (direct-to-lung) vaping. The 0.6-ohm coil is great for MTL vaping, with a recommended wattage range of 12 to 25W. The 0.16-ohm coil is perfect for DTL vaping, with a range of 25 to 50W.

Pod

The pod has a capacity of up to 5.5ml of e-liquid and has a larger filling port for easy refills. The transparent pod uses side filling; lift the rubber plug marked with a small arrow to refill. The RPM2 pod features a duckbill design and strong magnets, making sure it stays securely attached to the mod. The site also has a rubber-plugged filling port that's easy to access when you want to refill.

Safety Features

Lithium Battery Protection

The device ensures the lithium battery doesn't overcharge by stopping at a certain percentage and blinking to prevent damage.

Atomizer Detection

This feature confirms when your pod is properly connected, and the device will only fire when it detects the pod.

8-Second Cutoff

If you press the fire button for longer than 8 seconds, the device will stop firing automatically.

Short Circuit Protection

This function protects against excessive current or short circuits, preventing any damage to the device.

Low Voltage Protection

If the voltage gets too low, the device shuts off. It won't turn back on until the voltage is back to normal, preventing any auto-restart issues.

What's The Performance Like On SMOK IPX80?

The SMOK IPX80 excels in performance, especially when it comes to capturing great flavor, even with complex e-liquid profiles. Thanks to its thoughtfully designed airflow system, the vapor quality remains consistent, even at higher wattages.

RPM2 0.16Ω Mesh Coil (DTL)

This coil is perfect for direct-to-lung (DTL) vaping and works best with high-VG e-liquids. The ideal wattage range is between 25-50W, and 40W is the sweet spot for the 0.16Ω mesh coil. With both airflow dials fully open, I got a really smooth and enjoyable hit! The flavor is rich and intense right from the start. There's only a slight difference in airflow when fully open or closed, but in either setting, the flavor and cloud production is really impressive.

0.6Ω DC Coil (MTL)

For mouth-to-lung (MTL) vaping, this coil is best for 50/50 e-liquids and nic salts, with a recommended wattage range of 12-25W. While the flavor isn't quite as intense as the 0.16Ω mesh coil, it still delivers a great taste. With the help of the airflow control ring, you can adjust the draw by rotating the dial for a tighter, more restricted inhale. When both airflow dials are fully closed, it gives you a solid MTL vaping experience.

What Does An IPX67 Rating Indicate?

IP is a rating system that measures how well electronic devices resist moisture and solid particles like dust. An IPX67-rated vape device means it's completely dustproof—no dust can get into its internal parts—and it's water-resistant enough to be submerged in water for up to 30 minutes without affecting its performance.

How Long Can The SMOK IPX 80 Battery Keep You Vaping?

The SMOK IPX80 is powered by a built-in 3000mAh battery. It uses a 0.16Ω coil, and the fully charged battery lasts around two days. If you switch to a 0.6Ω coil, the battery life improves even more. You can recharge the device using a USB-C cable that supports fast charging. The IPX80 takes roughly 90 minutes to charge fully.

How To Properly Refill the SMOK IPX 80 Pod？

Here's how to refill your SMOK IPX 80 pod with e-liquid in just a few easy steps:

• Take the pod out of the device to reach the filling port.
• Take off the rubber plug on the side of the pod to uncover the wide filling hole.
• Carefully pour in your e-liquid, but don't fill it all the way—leave a little space for air.
• Once it's filled, press the rubber plug back into place to prevent any leaks.

Final Verdict

There are plenty of vape kits out there, but when it comes to devices with an IP67 rating, the options are limited. You don't have to worry about using it in all kinds of environments. The build quality is top-notch—it feels rock solid like it could withstand anything you throw at it. The flavor is stunning, and the vapor production is just as outstanding. The SMOK IPX80 makes everything so easy—it lets you enjoy everything you want to do without any fuss.
