SMOK Thallo 80W Pod Mod Kit

The SMOK Thallo 80W Pod Mod Kit is listed at AED 105 on POD Shop, and it is the pod mod with the biggest battery in the SMOK range: a built-in 3000 mAh cell. It runs from 1 to 80 watts on the IQ-XS chipset, with a 5.0 ml RPM 2 pod and USB-C charging. A pod mod is a pod system with the power of a box mod, and the Thallo is the version for vapers who want that power without carrying a separate battery or a large device.

The 3000 mAh battery is the Thallo's headline feature, and it changes how the device is used. Most pod systems need charging every day for heavy users, but a 3000 mAh cell covers a full day and often more, even at higher wattages. The IQ-XS chipset manages the power delivery and the safety protections, and the 1 to 80 watt range means the same device can vape gently at low power or produce dense vapour at high power. The 5.0 ml RPM 2 pod holds a lot of e-liquid, so refills are infrequent. At AED 105, the Thallo is the cheapest way to get an 80-watt pod mod with a battery this large.

Power, pod and chipset

The Thallo runs from 1 to 80 watts, which is the full range a pod mod needs. At the low end it vapes like a normal pod system, and at the high end it delivers the warm, dense vapour that direct-lung vapers want. The IQ-XS chipset is the brain of the device: it sets the power, manages the battery and handles the safety cut-offs. The RPM 2 pod holds 5.0 ml of e-liquid, which is large for a pod system, so you refill less often than with a 2 ml pod. USB-C charging tops the battery up quickly when it does run low.

Battery and everyday use

The built-in 3000 mAh battery is what sets the Thallo apart from the other pod systems on POD Shop. The Nord 5 has 2000 mAh, the Novo 4 has 800 mAh and the original Nord has 1100 mAh, so the Thallo's battery is the largest of the four. That matters most for heavy users and for people who do not want to think about charging during the day. There is no separate battery to buy, no battery door to open and no external charger to carry. When the flavour fades or tastes burnt, change the coil, not the device, and the pod itself lasts through many coil changes.

Choosing the right one

Choose the Thallo if you want the biggest battery in the SMOK pod range and 80 watts of power at AED 105. It is the right pick for heavy vapers, for people who hate charging mid-day, and for anyone moving up from a smaller pod system who wants a pod mod. If you want the same 80 watts with a display and a leather finish, the Nord 5 at AED 135 is the alternative. If you want a compact device with a display, the Novo 4 at AED 90 is the smaller option.

Who it suits

This kit suits adult vapers in the UAE who want a refillable pod system instead of a disposable: people who vape regularly, who want to choose their own e-liquid, and who do not mind filling a pod and changing a coil now and then. It suits vapers who already know their preferred strength and flavour and want a device they can keep using. It does not suit anyone who wants a sealed disposable with no filling or maintenance, and it is for adults aged 18 and over only.

How to use

To use this pod system, fill the pod with e-liquid and let it sit for a few minutes so the coil soaks through before you vape. That first soak matters: vaping on a dry coil burns it out. Charge the device with a USB-C cable when the battery runs low, and replace the coil or pod when the flavour fades or tastes burnt. Keep the device clean and dry, store it at room temperature away from heat and direct sunlight, and keep it, and your e-liquid, out of reach of children. Use only the coils and pods made for this device.

E-liquid and coils: what to buy with your kit

A refillable pod system needs two things besides the device itself: e-liquid to fill the pod, and replacement coils or pods for when the flavour fades. Coils wear out with use, and the sign is a flavour that fades or starts to taste burnt. When that happens, change the coil, not the device, and let the new coil soak in e-liquid for a few minutes before you vape on it, because vaping on a dry coil burns it out straight away. Keep a spare coil or pod with you so a worn coil does not leave you without a vape. E-liquid should be stored in a cool, dark place away from heat and direct sunlight, with the cap closed, and both the device and the liquid should be kept out of reach of children. Charge the device with a USB-C cable when the battery runs low, and use only the coils and pods made for your device, because coils from another model will not fit or will not work properly.
