RandM Tornado 18000 vs Ultra 32000: Flavours, Refill Pods & UK Guide (2026)
Written by the Vape7Store team — a UK-registered online vape retailer. All products sold are for adults 18+. Last updated: 7 July 2026.
Fumot's RandM Tornado is one of the most searched vape names in the UK, but the range confuses people: the Tornado 18000 and the Tornado Ultra 32000 are very different devices at very different price-per-puff points, and only one of them takes refill pods. This guide breaks down both, ranks the standout flavours, and tells you which one to buy for how you actually vape.
Wondering how Tornado compares outside the Fumot family? We've tested it against Lost Mary in our RandM Tornado vs Lost Mary BM6000 comparison.
Tornado 18000 vs Tornado Ultra 32000: head to head
| Tornado 18000 | Tornado Ultra T32000 | |
|---|---|---|
| Puff count | Up to 18,000 | Up to 32,000 |
| Battery | 650mAh, USB-C rechargeable | 850mAh, USB-C rechargeable |
| Nicotine | 20mg (2%) nic salt | 20mg (2%) nic salt |
| Coil | Mesh coil (rated for the full 18K) | Mesh coil |
| Pod system | Sealed — replace device when empty | Dual replaceable pods — buy refills, keep the device |
| Display | Battery/liquid indicators | Full LED display |
| Best for | Trying the range, lighter use | Daily drivers — lowest cost per puff |
The one-line verdict: the 18000 is the entry point, the Ultra 32000 is the commitment. Once you know your flavour, the Ultra's refill pods make it the cheapest way to vape a Tornado, because you stop paying for a new battery every time.
Best RandM Tornado 18000 flavours
1. Blue Razz Cherry
The range's bestseller — classic blue razz sharpened with dark cherry. If the blue-razz era disposables were your thing, start here.
2. Mango on Ice
Proper ripe mango, not the perfume-y kind, with enough ice to keep it clean at 20mg. The best fruit-ice in the line-up.
3. Grape Ice
Concord-style purple grape with a frosty exit. Tornado's grape is stronger-flavoured than most rivals' — a genuine signature.
4. Cola Ice
Fizzy cola bottles from the corner shop, iced. Novelty flavours usually get old fast; this one somehow doesn't.
5. Blueberry Cherry Cranberry
The complex one — three-fruit blend that leans tart rather than sweet. Best pick if candy-style flavours aren't for you.

Tornado Ultra 32000: how the refill pods work
- The Ultra T32000 runs a dual-pod system — two prefilled pods on board, switchable without tools.
- When pods run dry, click in Tornado Ultra 32000 refill pods — the 850mAh battery is built to outlast many pod cycles.
- Mixing two flavours across the two slots is the Ultra's party trick, same idea as the twist-switch kits from Hayati and Al Fakher.
- The LED display shows battery and liquid levels, so you're never surprised by a dead pod on the way out the door.

How Tornado compares to the other 30K-class kits we stock
The Ultra 32000 currently has the highest puff count in our range — ahead of the Al Fakher 30K HyperMax (best for shisha flavours), the Lost Mary Nera 30K (best flavour pedigree) and the Crystal Pro Switch 30000. Between them, pick by flavour loyalty rather than puff maths: all four are refill-pod systems with near-identical running costs, so the brand whose flavours you already love is the right answer.
Are Tornado vapes legal in the UK?
Yes — both models are rechargeable, which keeps them outside the single-use disposables ban of June 2025, and the Ultra's replaceable-pod design is exactly the direction UK regulation has pushed the market. Factor in the Vaping Products Duty arriving October 2026, which will raise e-liquid prices across every brand: if you're an Ultra user, pods bought before autumn are the cheap ones.
FAQs
How long does a Tornado 18000 actually last?
Rated 18,000 puffs; in practice 10–20 days depending on how heavily you vape. The mesh coil is rated to stay clean-tasting for the full liquid capacity.
Do Tornado 18000 and Ultra 32000 share pods?
No. The 18000 is a sealed device with no replaceable pods; only the Ultra T32000 takes refill pods, and they're specific to that model.
Is 32,000 puffs too much to buy at once?
Not really — unopened pods keep well when stored cool and sealed. See our e-liquid storage and shelf-life guide for how long pods stay fresh.
Which should a heavy ex-smoker choose?
The Ultra 32000 — bigger battery, refill economics, and no risk of running dry mid-week. For more switching advice, see our guide to the best vape kits for heavy smokers.
