SMOK Fetch Pro Kit Design Summary
Pod Design
The position of the fill port on pod is not as high as it could’ve been. For this reason I initially suffered a few problems with the fill level and juice would leak back out.
So although side filling is convenient enough, just make sure to tilt the pod at a 45 degree angle when administering to avoid this issue.
SMOK Fetch Pro Airflow Structure
At any given time there’s going to be a lot of airflow around the base of the pod due to those large dual air channels on either side. This makes the kit far more suited to a direct to / restrictive lung vaping experience despite both pods sporting AFC rings.
As tends to be the case with many “super pods” there’s very little chance of a satisfying MTL vape.
It was also the reason why the vape was actually quite loud, I feel.
SMOK Fetch Pro Menu Buttons
This one was another head scratcher until I figured out what was actually happening.
If you press and hold the left and right menu buttons when locking or unlocking the wattage you will find that the power output is randomly increased too!
There seems to be an over sensitive right menu button that if held too long will take on a mind of its own.
In order to combat this issue you need to make one quick stab at both menu buttons. So not technically a design fault.
SMOK Fetch Pro Coil Performance
The flavour from the 0.4ohm mesh coil was a little bit dull and disappointing, cloud production was superb though.
The AFC ring, while quite stiff to adjust, wasn’t offering much diversity in airflow restriction, indeed it was hard to notice much difference while testing.
It just felt a little under-powered for my liking.
Overall a smooth, if loud vaping experience, shame about that dilution of flavour though.
Shame also about the 0.17ohm conical mesh coil. The AFC ring was very much more responsive. In the shortened length of time spent with it, airflow adjustment capabilities were spot on!
Always Look On The Vape Side Of Life
The SMOK Fetch Pro kit has been designed with ergonomics in mind. It fits perfectly in the palm of the hand and the dual air intake ports are always free of fingers or thumb.
The clear colour screen is easily viewed in direct sunlight, and there’s a no thrills set of menu functions tailor made for a pod system.
The screen also times out after 15 seconds of inactivity which always helps with overall battery performance.
You can also “round robin” the device if needs be.
It’s possible to replace the included 510 drip tip with one of your own, I personally had no issues with the one SMOK supply.
The battery door and hinge have given me no problems at the time of writing and is very easy to use. The battery sits within the mod as snug as you like and there’s zero battery rattle.
SMOK Fetch Pro – The Bodacious Battery
I managed to achieve 16 hours continuous use from the single 18650 battery using the 0.4ohm mesh coil at a constant 25W. During this time I amassed 335 puffs on the screen counter.
As much as I don’t recommend charging an external battery within a device, I gave it a go for the purposes of review – note: it’s al;ways best to use an external battery charger.
The fast type C charging wasn’t as efficient as expected. It took 1 hour 45 minutes. Further galvanizing the merits of a dedicated charging unit.

The pod design is very good and the toughened PCTG body means they will last the course.
I favour the side filling system over bottom fill simply because there’s more space to get your fingers around the silicone stopper.
Once in contact with e liquid the stopper was relatively easy to use, certainly not as fiddly as many designs out there, so kudos for that!
Liquid levels were clearly visible through the tinted plastic.
Backwards compatibility with RPM40 and RPM80 coils is a major plus. It would be interesting to see how the MTL coils performed.
The option of an RBA section only helps to increase the appeal of this reliable, compact and battery efficient device.
Are you already vaping on the SMOK Fetch Pro kit or thinking of buying it?
