SMOK RPM160 Replacement Coil - Pack of 3
If your SMOK RPM160 has started tasting scorched, muted, or noticeably weaker than when it was new, the coil is almost always the culprit rather than the pod or the e-liquid itself. The SMOK RPM160 Replacement Coil - Pack of 3 is the genuine 0.15ohm NiCr mesh atomiser head built specifically for the RPM160 pod mod, giving you three fresh coils on hand so a worn original never leaves you stuck mid-vape. Shop the full range at Vape Wave.
Key Features of the SMOK RPM160 Replacement Coil
- Genuine SMOK 0.15ohm NiCr mesh coil, built for the RPM160 pod mod platform
- Honeycomb hexagonal mesh structure for fast, even heating
- Compatible with RPM and RGC style pods
- Simple press-fit installation, no threading required
- Rated for direct-to-lung vaping up to 80W
- Pack of three coils for a running supply
Design
The RPM160 coil uses a honeycomb-patterned mesh core made from nickel-chrome, a material chosen for durability and even heat distribution across the coil face. This hexagonal structure means the mesh wire heats up faster and more uniformly than a single-strand build, which helps every drop of e-liquid vaporise fully rather than pooling in cold spots. The base uses a press-fit connection, so the coil clicks straight into a compatible RPM or RGC pod without any screwing or fiddly threading.
Pod Compatibility
This coil is designed to sit inside RPM and RGC-style pods, which is the pod format used across SMOK's RPM160 pod mod ecosystem. Because the coil and pod are matched, fitting a genuine RPM160 coil into its compatible pod keeps the seal tight and reduces the leaking that often comes from mismatched third-party parts.
Coil Technology
At 0.15ohm, this is a sub-ohm mesh coil built for direct-to-lung (DTL) vaping rather than a tight, cigarette-style draw. The honeycomb mesh design is engineered to maximise surface contact with the wicking material, which is what gives sub-ohm mesh coils their reputation for bigger clouds and richer flavour compared with older kanthal builds.
Puff Count
SMOK doesn't publish a fixed puff count for RPM160 coils, since real-world lifespan depends heavily on wattage, e-liquid thickness, and daily usage patterns. As a rough guide, most users see somewhere between one and two weeks of regular use per coil, with high-VG juices at the top end of the wattage range wearing the mesh down a little faster. The three-pack means you've always got a spare ready rather than waiting on a single replacement.
Nicotine Strength Compatibility
As a replacement coil rather than an e-liquid, there's no nicotine strength attached to this product directly. What matters is pairing the right juice with the resistance: at 0.15ohm and up to 80W, this coil is built for high-VG, freebase shortfills at lower nicotine strengths, typically 0mg to 6mg, rather than higher-strength nic salts, which suit restricted, lower-wattage coils better.
SMOK RPM160 Replacement Coil Performance
Running this coil at its rated wattage delivers dense vapour and a noticeably open, airy draw, which is exactly what sub-ohm direct-to-lung fans are after. Flavour comes through cleanly thanks to the even heating across the mesh surface, and the press-fit seal helps prevent the slow leaks that dull performance on lower-quality coils over time. Vapers moving up from a mouth-to-lung setup will notice a real step up in cloud volume.
Who It's For
This coil pack is built for existing SMOK RPM160 pod mod owners who want their device performing at full strength without buying new hardware. It also suits sub-ohm vapers who prefer a pod-style form factor over a traditional box mod and tank, since the RPM160 platform gives that flexibility.

Safety Information
Always prime a new coil before firing it: add a few drops of e-liquid directly onto the mesh and let it soak for several minutes before your first vape. Firing a dry coil, even briefly, can burn the wick and ruin it permanently. Only fit genuine SMOK RPM160 coils in compatible RPM160 devices, and this product is restricted to over-18s under UK vaping regulations.
Things to Consider Before Buying
Check that your device is specifically the SMOK RPM160 before ordering, since this coil is matched to that platform's pod format and isn't a universal fit across every SMOK device. It's also worth thinking about whether your vaping style suits a sub-ohm, DTL setup, as the 0.15ohm resistance is built for bigger clouds rather than a tight, restricted draw.
Maintenance Tips
Prime every fresh coil properly and ease into the first few puffs rather than firing at full wattage straight away. Keeping the pod topped up, rather than running it near empty, is the single biggest factor in extending coil lifespan. Wiping the coil's contact points occasionally also helps maintain a reliable connection with the device.
Storage Tips
Store spare coils in their original sealed packaging until you're ready to fit them, kept at room temperature and away from direct sunlight or damp conditions. This protects the wicking material from picking up moisture or dust before the coil is even installed.
Returns and Refunds
As an opened consumable item, used coil packs are generally excluded from returns once the seal has been broken, in line with standard UK vape retail practice. Full eligibility terms are set out on Vape Wave's Return & Refund Policy.
Conclusion
The SMOK RPM160 Replacement Coil - Pack of 3 keeps your RPM160 pod mod running at full flavour and vapour output, with a genuine 0.15ohm NiCr mesh build designed for direct-to-lung vaping up to 80W. Stocking up on a three-pack means consistent performance without the expense of replacing the whole device every time a coil wears out.

FAQs
How long do SMOK RPM160 coils last?
Most vapers get roughly one to two weeks from a single RPM160 coil under regular use, though this varies with wattage, e-liquid thickness, and how often the device is fired. Thicker, high-VG juices at higher wattage tend to wear the mesh down a little sooner.
What wattage should I run the RPM160 0.15ohm coil at?
This coil is rated for use up to 80W, though many vapers find a mid-range setting between 55W and 65W gives the best balance of flavour and coil longevity.
Can I use nic salts with this coil?
Nic salts aren't the ideal match here. At 0.15ohm and higher wattage, this coil is built for high-VG, freebase e-liquid at lower nicotine strengths rather than the higher-strength salts suited to restricted, low-wattage coils.
How do I install a SMOK RPM160 coil?
Remove the pod from the device, pull out the old coil, then press the new coil firmly into place using the press-fit base, no screwing needed. Prime it with e-liquid and leave it to soak for a few minutes before vaping.
Why does my new RPM160 coil taste burnt straight away?
This is almost always down to insufficient priming, meaning the coil was fired before the wick had time to fully saturate. Refill the pod, apply e-liquid directly to the mesh, and wait several minutes before trying again.
Is the RPM160 coil compatible with RGC pods?
Yes, this coil is built to work with both RPM and RGC style pods, which are the pod formats used across the RPM160 platform.
What's the difference between this coil and the SMOK RPM 4 coil?
The RPM160 coil is a single 0.15ohm sub-ohm mesh build rated up to 80W for direct-to-lung vaping, while the RPM 4 range offers two resistance options covering both restricted and direct-to-lung styles.
How many coils are in one pack?
This listing includes three genuine SMOK RPM160 coils per pack, giving you a running supply rather than a single spare.
Can beginners use the RPM160 0.15ohm coil?
It's better suited to vapers with some sub-ohm experience, since the higher wattage and airy draw differ significantly from a beginner mouth-to-lung setup.
Can I return an opened pack of coils?
Opened consumable items such as coils are generally excluded from returns for hygiene reasons. Full details are available on Vape Wave's Return & Refund Policy page before ordering.
Will this coil fit any SMOK pod mod?
No. It's built specifically for the RPM160 platform and its compatible RPM and RGC pods, so it's worth confirming your exact device before buying.
What e-liquid works best with this coil?
High-VG, freebase shortfills at 0mg to 6mg nicotine give the best flavour and cloud production at this coil's rated wattage range.
