The SMOK RPM5 Replacement Empty Pod (3 Pack) contains the refillable cartridges that keep the SMOK RPM 5 and RPM 5 Pro running. Each pack includes 3 empty pods, each with a generous 6.5mL e-liquid capacity. The pods feature a side fill system for clean, convenient refills and are designed to accept SMOK RPM 3 coils, which are sold separately. This CRC (child-resistant cap) version includes the safety feature required for Canadian retail compliance.
Separating the pod from the coil means the cartridge can last through multiple coil changes. When flavour drops off, simply pull the old RPM 3 coil from the base of the pod, press a fresh one in, and the pod is ready to go again. The 6.5mL capacity is notably larger than many pod systems, cutting down on refill frequency and making the RPM 5 platform practical for heavy vapers who do not want to top up constantly throughout the day.

Side Fill and Coil Installation
Filling the SMOK RPM5 pod is straightforward. Locate the silicone plug on the side of the pod, pull it open to reveal the fill port, and insert the e-liquid bottle nozzle. Fill to the visible line and press the plug firmly back into place. The side fill placement keeps the mouthpiece area dry and makes refilling quick and mess-free.
Coil installation uses a press-fit system. Remove the pod from the device, pull the old RPM 3 coil straight out from the bottom of the pod, and push a new RPM 3 coil in until it seats securely. No threading or twisting is required. After installing a fresh coil, fill the pod and let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes to allow the wicking material to fully saturate before the first puff. This prevents dry hits and extends the life of the coil.
Pod Longevity and When to Replace
Because the RPM 3 coils are replaceable, the pod cartridge does not need to be swapped every time flavour drops off. The pod itself can typically last through 3 to 5 coil changes before the silicone seal starts to degrade, residual flavour buildup becomes noticeable, or the coil no longer seats firmly. Rinsing the pod with warm water between coil swaps and allowing it to air dry can extend its usable life. When the pod starts leaking from the base, the coil fit becomes loose, or flavour tastes off even with a fresh coil, it is time for a new pod.
Frequently Asked Questions
What devices are the SMOK RPM5 Replacement Empty Pods compatible with?
The SMOK RPM5 Replacement Empty Pods are designed for the SMOK RPM 5 and SMOK RPM 5 Pro pod mod systems. These pods are not compatible with older SMOK devices such as the RPM 40, RPM 80, or Novo series, which use different pod and coil platforms. Always confirm the specific device model before purchasing replacement pods.
Are coils included with the SMOK RPM5 Replacement Empty Pod (3 Pack)?
No. The SMOK RPM5 Replacement Empty Pods are sold as empty pod cartridges without coils. SMOK RPM 3 coils are purchased separately and press-fit into the bottom of each pod. This allows users to choose the specific RPM 3 coil resistance that matches their vaping style.
What coils does the SMOK RPM5 pod use?
The SMOK RPM5 pod uses SMOK RPM 3 coils. These are available in 0.15ohm (DL) and 0.23ohm (RDL) mesh options, supporting both direct-to-lung and restricted direct-lung vaping styles. The coils install with a simple press-fit into the bottom of the pod.
How do you fill the SMOK RPM5 Replacement Empty Pod?
Locate the silicone plug on the side of the SMOK RPM5 pod. Pull it open to expose the fill port. Insert the e-liquid bottle nozzle and fill to the indicated line. Do not overfill, as this can cause leaking or gurgling. Press the plug firmly back into place to seal the pod. The 6.5mL capacity means fewer refills compared to smaller pod systems.
What is the e-liquid capacity of the SMOK RPM5 Replacement Empty Pod?
Each SMOK RPM5 Replacement Empty Pod holds 6.5mL of e-liquid. This is a generous capacity for a pod system, reducing refill frequency and making the RPM 5 and RPM 5 Pro practical for all-day use without constant top-ups.
How long does the SMOK RPM5 Replacement Empty Pod last?
The SMOK RPM5 Replacement Empty Pod can last through multiple coil changes, typically 3 to 5 RPM 3 coil swaps with proper care. The RPM 3 coils inside wear out first, usually lasting 1 to 2 weeks depending on usage and e-liquid sweetness. When the pod starts leaking, the coil no longer seats firmly, or flavour tastes off even with a fresh coil, the pod should be replaced.
What does CRC mean on the SMOK RPM5 pod packaging?
CRC stands for child-resistant cap. It is a safety feature on the fill port designed to prevent children from accessing the e-liquid inside the pod. The CRC mechanism requires a specific action to open the fill port, adding an extra layer of protection. This is the version required for Canadian retail compliance.
