SMOK RPM 3 0.15ohm Replacement Coil in the UK
The SMOK RPM3 0.15Ω Replacement Coil is a mesh direct-to-lung (DL) coil built for vapers who want dense clouds and bold flavour without sacrificing consistency. Designed as a direct swap-in for the SMOK RPM3 coil series, it's compatible with several popular SMOK RPM pod kits, making it one of the most useful spares to keep in your kit bag. Each pack contains five coils, so you're covered for weeks of vaping rather than just a single top-up.
If you're restocking coils for your SMOK pod kit, this listing sits within our Coils and Pods collection, where you'll also find matching resistances and other SMOK-compatible coils.
Key Features Of the SMOK RPM 3 0.15ohm Replacement Coil
- Mesh coil construction for faster ramp-up and fuller flavour
- 0.15Ω resistance, rated for a 40–80W wattage range
- Press-fit installation, no tools required
- Pack of 5 coils for extended use
- Built from Kanthal A1 mesh wire for even heat distribution
- Designed for direct-to-lung (DL) vaping with high VG e-liquid
Design
The coil uses a mesh heating element rather than traditional round wire, which increases the surface area in contact with e-liquid. This means the wick saturates more evenly, reducing dry hits and giving a smoother pull from the first puff to the last. The press-fit base makes swapping coils straightforward simply pull the old coil out and push the new one in until it seats. Available at Vape Wave.
Pod System
The SMOK RPM3 0.15Ω coil is designed for use with SMOK's RPM3-compatible pod systems, including the RPM 5 and RPM 5 Pro Pod Kit range, alongside other devices sharing the same RPM3 coil deck. If you're unsure whether this coil fits your device, check your pod kit's original coil packaging or product page, as SMOK has released several similarly named coil families across its RPM range. Browsing our SMOK pod kits can help confirm compatibility before you order.
SMOK RPM 3 0.15ohm Replacement Coil Technology
Mesh coils like this one heat more evenly across their surface than traditional single or dual coil builds, which reduces the chance of hot spots and burnt hits. The 0.15Ω resistance sits in sub-ohm territory, meaning it's built to be fired at higher wattages for warmer, denser vapour, ideal for vapers who prioritise cloud production and rich flavour over a tighter, MTL-style draw.
Performance
At 0.15Ω and a 40–80W recommended range, this coil is tuned for warm, flavourful, high-vapour output. Most users find the sweet spot sits around 50–60W, where flavour and vapour production balance well without over-saturating the wick. Because it's a sub-ohm build, it draws more power than higher-resistance MTL coils, so battery life on your device will be shorter per charge when running this coil consistently.
Who It's For
This coil suits vapers already using a compatible SMOK RPM3-series pod kit who want a direct-to-lung experience with strong flavour and visible vapour. It's not intended for beginners looking for a tight, cigarette-like MTL draw; those vapers are better served by a higher-resistance MTL coil.
What's Included
- 5 x SMOK RPM3 0.15Ω Mesh Replacement Coils

Safety Information
Sub-ohm coils must only be used in a device capable of firing safely at 0.15Ω or lower resistance; check your pod kit's specifications before use. Always prime a new coil by adding a few drops of e-liquid directly onto the mesh and letting it sit for 5–10 minutes before your first vape, this prevents dry firing and extends coil life. Stop using a coil immediately if you notice a burnt taste, leaking, or unusual heat.
Things To Consider Before Buying
- Confirm this coil is compatible with your specific SMOK RPM3-series device before ordering
- Sub-ohm coils use more power, so factor in reduced battery life between charges
- Pair with high VG e-liquid (70%+) for best results; thinner, high-PG liquids can cause leaking or poor wicking
Maintenance Tips
Prime each new coil before use and avoid firing it dry. Keep your pod topped up rather than letting it run low, as vaping on an empty or near-empty pod is the most common cause of premature coil burnout. Wiping excess e-liquid from the coil's exterior contacts between fills can also help maintain a consistent connection.
Storage Tips
Store spare coils in their original packaging, away from direct sunlight and extreme heat, to protect the mesh element and wicking material. Keep them in a dry area, as moisture can affect the wick before the coil is even installed.
Returns and Refunds Policy
Unopened, unused coils can be returned in line with our refund policy. As with all consumable vape parts, opened coil packs cannot be returned once used for hygiene and safety reasons.
Conclusion
The SMOK RPM3 0.15Ω Replacement Coil is a dependable, flavour-focused mesh coil for anyone running a compatible SMOK RPM3-series pod kit. With a pack of five, straightforward press-fit installation, and a wattage range built for dense, satisfying vapour, it's a straightforward restock that keeps your device performing the way it did on day one.

Frequently Asked Questions
What devices is the SMOK RPM3 0.15Ω coil compatible with?
This coil is built for SMOK's RPM3 coil deck and works with RPM3-compatible pod kits, including the RPM 5 and RPM 5 Pro. If you're vaping on a different SMOK device, it's worth checking your kit's original coil packaging first, as SMOK has released several coil families with similar names across its RPM range.
How long does a SMOK RPM3 0.15Ω coil last?
Most vapers get around one to two weeks of regular use from each coil, though this varies depending on how often you vape, the e-liquid used, and the wattage it's fired at. A drop in flavour or a burnt taste usually signals it's time to replace it.
What wattage should I use with the 0.15Ω RPM3 coil?
It's rated for a 40W to 80W range, with most users finding the best balance of flavour and vapour around 50W to 60W. Running it too low can cause weak flavour, while pushing it too high too often can shorten the coil's lifespan.
Do I need to prime this coil before using it?
Yes. Add a few drops of e-liquid directly onto the exposed mesh and let it sit for around 5 to 10 minutes before your first vape. This saturates the wick and helps prevent a burnt hit on first use.
Can I use nicotine salt e-liquid with this coil?
Sub-ohm coils like this one are generally better suited to freebase, high VG e-liquid rather than nic salts, which are typically formulated for lower-wattage MTL setups. Using nic salts at 40W+ can be harsh on the throat.
Why does my new coil taste burnt straight away?
This is almost always caused by not priming the coil before use, or installing it into a pod that wasn't fully saturated with e-liquid first. Always prime and fill the pod before firing a fresh coil for the first time.
How many coils come in a pack?
Each SMOK RPM3 0.15Ω pack contains five coils, giving you enough spares to last several weeks without needing to reorder immediately.
What VG percentage e-liquid works best with this coil?
A high VG e-liquid, ideally 70% VG or above, is recommended. Thinner, high-PG liquids don't wick as efficiently through a mesh coil built for sub-ohm, cloud-focused vaping and can lead to leaking.
Is the 0.15Ω or 0.23Ω RPM3 coil better for flavour?
Both are mesh coils, but they suit slightly different styles. The 0.15Ω option runs at higher wattage for bigger clouds and bolder flavour, while the 0.23Ω is milder and better suited to a smoother, more efficient draw at lower wattage.
How do I know when to replace my coil?
Signs include a burnt or muted taste, gurgling or leaking, reduced vapour production, or a noticeably harsher throat hit than usual. If priming and refilling don't resolve it, the coil needs replacing.
Can I return this coil if I ordered the wrong resistance?
Unopened, unused packs can be returned under our refund policy. Once a coil pack has been opened, it can't be returned for hygiene and safety reasons, so it's worth double-checking device compatibility before purchase.
Does this coil fit the original SMOK RPM 3 pod kit as well as newer RPM devices?
It's designed around the RPM3 coil deck, which SMOK has carried across several devices beyond the original RPM 3 kit, including newer RPM 5 series pod kits. Always cross-check against your specific device's coil requirements if you're unsure.
