This SMOK IPX 80 Pod Kit review looks at a refillable 80W pod system with a 3000mAh built-in battery, a 5.5ml pod and a 0.96-inch screen, sold in Dubai and across the UAE for AED 149. Verdict: a rugged, big-battery kit for adults who want a rechargeable device they refill themselves, but not the pick if you want adjustable airflow or a grab-and-go disposable.

SMOK IPX 80 Pod Kit Review: What Is It and What Are the Specs?
The SMOK IPX 80 is a refillable, rechargeable pod kit with adjustable output from 5W to 80W. This SMOK IPX 80 Pod Kit review uses the current Vape Store Web product listing, and every figure below comes from that page. Unlike a disposable, you fill the pod yourself and replace coils when they wear out, so you choose the e-liquid and its nicotine strength. The kit uses SMOK’s RPM 2 coil series and supports both mouth-to-lung (MTL) and direct-to-lung (DTL) vaping.
| Spec | Detail |
|---|---|
| Battery | 3000mAh, built-in, rechargeable |
| Output | 5W to 80W, adjustable |
| Pod capacity | 5.5ml, refillable |
| Coils in the box | 0.16 ohm RPM2 mesh and 0.6 ohm RPM2 MTL |
| Resistance range | 0.15 to 1.0 ohm |
| Display | 0.96-inch TFT screen |
| Protection | IP67 waterproof rating |
| Charging | USB Type-C |
| Size and weight | 115 x 27 x 40 mm, 115g |
| Price | AED 149 |
Charge time and coil life are not specified by the manufacturer listing, so we do not quote them. For official product details, check SMOK’s official website.
Because the pod is refillable, running costs depend on the e-liquid and coils you buy. The listing also names compatible spares: RPM 2 replacement pods (sold in packs of three) and RPM and RPM2 coils (sold in packs of five). That makes spares easy to source in the UAE, and you are not locked into one e-liquid brand.
How Is the Design, Screen and Battery Performance?
The IPX 80 has a zinc alloy body and is listed as waterproof (IP67), dustproof and shockproof, which is the main reason to choose it over a standard pod kit. It measures 115 x 27 x 40 mm and weighs 115g, so it is a chunky pocket device rather than a slim one. The 0.96-inch screen shows wattage, battery level and puff count, and the buttons under it set your power from 5W up to 80W.
To use the kit, fill the pod through the side port, set your wattage with the buttons under the screen, and draw on the mouthpiece to fire it. The USB Type-C port sits at the base, so a common phone-style cable will usually fit. The screen also counts your puffs, which helps you see how much you draw in a day.
Battery and charging
The built-in 3000mAh battery is the headline spec, and the listing describes it as long-lasting for extended sessions. Actual runtime depends on the wattage you choose and how you draw, and the manufacturer listing does not state a charge time or a runtime, so treat any promised hours with caution. Charging is by USB Type-C, and the cable comes in the box.
Coils, pods and airflow
The kit ships with two RPM2 coils: a 0.16 ohm mesh coil for direct-to-lung draws and a 0.6 ohm coil for mouth-to-lung. The 5.5ml pod is filled through a side port. The listing states there is no adjustable airflow, so you cannot tighten or open the draw the way you can on a kit with an airflow ring.
Two coils in the box let you try both draw styles before buying more. The 0.16 ohm mesh coil suits direct-to-lung draws with bigger vapour, while the 0.6 ohm coil suits a tighter, cigarette-like mouth-to-lung draw. Resistance across the kit runs from 0.15 to 1.0 ohm, so there is room to grow into other RPM 2 coils later.
Who Is the SMOK IPX 80 For, and Is It Worth It?
The IPX 80 suits adult vapers who already use a refillable pod kit and want a tougher device with a bigger battery. It is a strong fit for people who carry a vape outdoors, commute, or work in dusty or wet conditions, because of the IP67 rating. Nicotine strength is not fixed by the device: it depends entirely on the e-liquid you put in the pod. In this SMOK IPX 80 Pod Kit review, the value case is a large battery and pod at AED 149, plus the freedom to pick your own e-liquid.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| 3000mAh built-in battery, the largest among the SMOK kits compared below | No adjustable airflow, per the listing |
| IP67 waterproof rating, dustproof and shockproof | Chunky at 115g and 115 x 27 x 40 mm |
| 5W to 80W adjustable output with MTL and DTL support | You must buy and fill your own e-liquid |
| 5.5ml pod and a 0.96-inch screen with puff counter | Charge time and runtime not specified by the listing |
| Five colours and two coils included | Pod capacity may still be small for very heavy use |
First-time users can manage it, but the 80W ceiling and two coil types add choices a beginner may not need. Start at a low wattage, follow the guidance in the box, and pick your e-liquid strength deliberately, since nicotine strength comes from the liquid you choose, not from the device.
Not for you if…
Skip the IPX 80 if you want a pre-filled device with no refilling, if you need to fine-tune airflow, or if you prefer a slim, light pocket vape. It is also not for anyone who has never used nicotine.
Which Colours and Pods Are Available?
The listing offers five colours, all at the same price:
- Black Carbon Fiber: a textured finish with extra grip
- Blue: a bright, clean shade
- Fluid Black Grey: a swirled black and grey finish
- Fluid Rainbow: a multi-colour finish that shifts in the light
- Grey: a plain, understated option
Replacement RPM2 pods and RPM2 coils are sold as separate products, so plan to buy spares. Browse more devices in our pod device category or the SMOK full range guide.
Colour does not change any specification, and the details on the listing apply to every finish. Choose on looks and grip: the Black Carbon Fiber finish is described as textured, while the fluid finishes are more decorative. Every colour is priced at AED 149.
How Does the IPX 80 Compare With Other SMOK Kits?
The IPX 80 beats its 80W siblings on battery size, but loses on airflow control against the RPM 5. All figures below come from each product listing.
| Model | Battery | Max power | Pod | Display and airflow | Price (AED) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SMOK IPX 80 (this page) | 3000mAh | 80W | 5.5ml | 0.96-inch screen, no adjustable airflow | 149 |
| SMOK Nord 5 | 2000mAh | 80W | 5ml | 0.69-inch OLED | 149 |
| SMOK RPM 5 | 2000mAh | 80W | 2ml | Adjustable airflow, display size not listed | 159 |
Choose the IPX 80 for battery and toughness. Choose the RPM 5 if adjustable airflow matters more, and the Nord 5 if you want a similar pod size with a slightly smaller battery.
At AED 149 the IPX 80 costs the same as the Nord 5 and AED 10 less than the RPM 5. Add the cost of e-liquid, spare pods and coils to your budget, because the kit ships without e-liquid. Read the table with one caution: the Nord 5 uses the RPM 3 coil series while the IPX 80 uses RPM 2, so coils may not be interchangeable. Check the coil listed for your device before you buy spares, and see the SMOK full range guide for every in-stock kit side by side.
Where Can You Buy the SMOK IPX 80 in the UAE, and Is It Legal?
You can order the SMOK IPX 80 Pod Kit from Vape Store Web for AED 149, with delivery across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah. You must be 18 or older. See more from the SMOK brand page.
Vaping rules in the UAE change, and the device is only one part of the picture: the e-liquid you fill it with also has to meet local standards. Read our guide on whether vaping is legal in Dubai, and see Tobacco Control Laws for the wider legal picture.
You may be asked for age verification at delivery, so keep your ID to hand. Keep your order confirmation, and check that the box contents match the list on the product page before you fill the pod. If anything is missing or looks tampered with, contact the shop straight away.
How to spot a fake in the UAE
Buy from a licensed retailer, check the packaging for the ECAS or MoIAT conformity mark, and be wary of prices far below the market. Compare the box contents with the listed items: one device, one 5.5ml pod, two coils and a charging cable.
Still unsure? The SMOK IPX 80 Pod Kit review verdict is simple: buy it for battery size and durability, look elsewhere for airflow control. Compare it against the other kits above before you decide, and check the pack contents on arrival.
