Vaporesso Target PM80 Pod Device Replacement Cartridges (Pack of 2)
Vaporesso put their best foot forward when they designed the Target. It is compact, good-looking, yet powerful enough to appeal to both beginners and experienced vapers. The Target has a maximum output of 80 watts and is certainly in a different league than most “pod” systems on the current market. Yet, despite the power, the Target is still focused on providing a natural experience for Vapers, and a stylish, pocketable mod for those on the go.
Close up with the Vaporesso Target PM80 Pod Mod
The Target PM80 features a zinc-alloy chassis for sturdy and long-lasting life. It is incredibly versatile and lightweight, delivering sub-ohm status clouds of vapor, something we’ve missed sorely since the pod mod market began. Using the AXON chipset, the Vaporesso Target PM80 Kit fires at speeds as low as 0.001s.
Its fire button is oversized and very intuitive. There is a full panel of adjustment buttons at the bottom. Relaying crucial data on the 0.96″ TFT color screen, the Target PM80 Pod Mod Kit can be fully charged in an hour of less. The 4mL PM80 pod can be refilled by a bottom fill port, hidden by a silicone stopper.
The Vaporesso Target PM80 is a unique-looking hybrid. It delivers on some really good ideas, and delivers a punchy, potent alternative to traditional pod systems and beginner vape rigs.
Though it’s not a pod mod in the traditional, “smoking-like” sense, and it can struggle with some coil and battery longevity issues, the Target PM80 still delivers an experience well above the garden-variety pod mods cluttering shelves across the world.

SMOK RPM REPLACEMENT COILS
If you’ve seen the Stabilized Wood model of the RPM80 (stabwood), or the resin, or carbon fiber, then you know SMOK never has a problem with making every one of their products extraordinarily beautiful.
If there’s a luxury material used to make vape mods, it’s available on the SMOK RPM80. Each design, pattern, or color combination is remarkable. Some Vapers would prefer the stabwood options, others will go for a resin pattern, but no matter, SMOK is aiming the RPM series toward more mature attitudes, and away from their often-overdone 18650 mods.
The bold colors and contrasts, the flawless build quality and effortless operation, the RPM80 might just be the most attractive pod/AIO device on the market — a bold statement in a market usually dominated by the likes of Lost Vape. No matter which RPM80 you choose, you’re automatically getting something distinctive, tasteful and conversation worthy.
TFT Color Display
One of the nice carryovers from the previous RPM40 is the fantastic TFT color screen, which is vertically oriented and crams a ton of information and control options in full view. SMOK has learned that “nicer” screens on their more powerful vape mods are vital to a successful launch, but for something as compact and pocket friendly as the RPM80, not a single ounce of the pod mod was wasted on non-essential real estate.
The simple menu system keeps the power controller front and center. This device is a straight up power mod, no temp control, no bypass, no passthrough, just a scaled back, potent pod mod that leaves the minutiae aside in favor of performance. By keeping those options away, the developers were allowed to focus on smart coil recognition and all the safety preventions we’ve come to expect from a modern device.
Being honest, both devices can use regular 70/30 and 50/50 e-liquids. We don’t like to encourage people to use nicotine salt e-liquids because of the heavy amount of nicotine found in nic-salts. Try some regular e-liquids, you’ll be surprised.
