The SMOK Nord 5 Pod Mod Kit is KSh 6,000 at Vapesoko, and it is 2000mAh and 80W. That 80W figure is the whole story: this is a pod mod, not a pocket pod, and it is a meaningfully different device from the small MTL kits most people start on.
If you have been vaping on a 520mAh Caliburn or a 900mAh Novo, understand before you buy that the Nord 5 is not a bigger version of those. It is a different class; it is used differently, and it takes a different kind of liquid.
Sold to adults of 18 and over. We verify age before dispatch, and our riders may ask for ID on delivery.
Payment is M-Pesa and cash only. No card is required.
The verdict up front
At KSh 6,000, the Nord 5 is good value for what it is: a proper 80W pod mod with a 2000mAh cell, adjustable power, and a coil and pod supply we actually stock.
It is not for everyone. It is bigger, it needs more attention, and it will cost you more per week to run than a small pod kit. Buy it because you want restricted-lung or direct-lung vaping at higher power, not because it is the most expensive thing on the page.
What "80W pod mod" actually means
A small MTL pod runs at low power through a high-resistance coil. It produces a tight, cool, cigarette-like draw; it sips liquid, and it is usually paired with a high-strength nicotine salt because the volume of vapour is small.
An 80W pod mod inverts all of that. More power through a lower-resistance coil produces more vapour, a warmer draw, and an airflow that is either restricted lung (a looser, airier version of a tight draw) or direct lung (straight into the lungs, like breathing).
The consequences are practical:
- It gets through liquid much faster. More vapour per puff means more millilitres per day.
- It gets through coils faster. Higher power is harder on a coil.
- It takes a lower-strength liquid. The point most people miss, so it has its own section below.
What it is like to use
You set the wattage rather than just drawing on it. That is the main difference in daily handling, and it is not difficult, but it is a step small pods do not have. The airflow is adjustable, which is what lets the same device do a restricted-lung or a direct-lung draw: opening it up gives an airier, cooler draw, closing it down tightens and generally warms it.
Coil life is the running-cost variable. A fresh coil wants priming: fill the pod, let it stand for a few minutes, and start at the lower end of the coil's range before pushing the power up. Firing a dry coil hard is the quickest way to ruin one.
At 2000mAh the battery is respectable for the class, but 80W drains a cell faster than 30W does. Expect to charge more often than the milliamp-hour number alone suggests.
Specifications
Only figures our catalogue supports:
- Kit price: KSh 6,000
- Battery: 2000mAh
- Maximum output: 80W
- Class: pod mod
- Draw style: restricted lung or direct lung, via adjustable airflow
- Refillable: yes, with replaceable coils and pods
We do not list a pod capacity, a coil resistance range, a screen size, a charging rate or body dimensions. Our catalogue carries no verified figure for any of those, and we are not going to supply one.
What liquid it takes, and which stocked ranges fit
This is a format fact about the device, not advice about you.
An 80W pod mod produces a lot of vapour per puff. A liquid that is comfortable at 1 or 2 watts through a tiny MTL coil delivers a very different amount of nicotine through an 80W coil, simply because there is far more vapour carrying it. The format that matches this class of device is a lower-strength 70/30 freebase, not a high-strength salt.
The high-strength nicotine salts we stock, Ultimate Salts 30ml at KSh 2,000 (50mg) and Nasty Salts 30ml at KSh 2,000 (35mg and 50mg), are made for low-power MTL pods. They are not the format for an 80W device. That is a statement about what the bottle is built for and what the hardware does, nothing more.
The stocked 70/30 freebase ranges that fit this device:
- Doozy 100ml shortfill, KSh 2,300: 0mg as supplied, 3mg with two 18mg shots, 2.5mg with two 15mg shots
All fifteen Ultimate Puff flavours are made at 3mg, 6mg, 12mg and 18mg. Gaps on the site are sold-out stock rather than combinations that do not exist. Those are the strengths available, and choosing between them is yours.
Consumables and prices
Item | Price KSh | What it is |
|---|---|---|
2,000 | The pod. Not a kit | |
2,500 | The coils this kit uses | |
SMOK Nord Replacement Coils (5 pack) | 2,500 | Five coils |
The KSh 6,000 price is the complete kit. Pods and coils are separate consumables and are never quoted as kit prices. Budget for coils in particular: at 80W they are the part you will replace most often.
Who it suits, by use pattern
The Nord 5 tends to suit you if:
- you want restricted-lung or direct-lung vaping rather than a tight MTL draw
- you are happy to set wattage and adjust airflow rather than just puffing
- you buy liquid in 60ml, 100ml or 120ml bottles and get through it
- you do not mind replacing coils as a routine cost
Look elsewhere if:
- you want something pocket-sized and button-free. The SMOK Novo 5 at KSh 5,000 (900mAh, 30W) or the UWELL Caliburn G4 at KSh 5,000 (1300mAh, 35W)
- You want a bigger battery in the same 80W class. The VOOPOO Argus Pro 2 at KSh 6,500 (3000mAh, 80W) or the VOOPOO Drag X3 at KSh 6,300 (80W)
