Smok Novo 5 Pod Kit: A Comprehensive Review

At Vapesoko Nairobi, we are proud to offer the Smok Novo 5 Pod Kit, a versatile and compact pod system that is ideal for vapers who value both performance and convenience. The Novo 5 is a remarkable addition to the Novo series from Smok, combining sleek design, adjustable settings, and high-quality performance into one powerful yet user-friendly device.

Design and Build Quality

The Smok Novo 5 is a standout in the pod vaping market, known for its compact, lightweight design and stylish aesthetic. It comes in various finishes, including striking cobra patterns and other fashionable designs, ensuring that users have plenty of options to match their personal style. Its size makes it highly portable, allowing it to easily slip into your pocket or bag for vaping on the go.

Measuring approximately 96mm by 29mm by 18mm, the Novo 5 feels great in hand, with a lightweight yet sturdy chassis. Despite its compact size, it boasts a durable construction made from high-quality materials, ensuring that it can handle the daily rigors of use without compromising on performance or comfort.

A defining feature is the 0.69-inch OLED display, which conveniently shows important vaping data such as wattage, battery life, and coil resistance. This allows users to monitor and adjust their settings with ease, making the Novo 5 not only sleek but also highly functional.

Battery Life and Power Output

The Novo 5 Pod Kit comes equipped with a 900mAh built-in battery, which is impressive for a device of this size. This powerful battery ensures that you can enjoy extended vaping sessions without needing to recharge constantly. The device supports USB-C charging, which significantly speeds up the charging process, allowing the device to be fully charged in less than an hour.

One of the standout features of the Novo 5 is its adjustable wattage. With a power range from 5W to 30W, users can customize their vaping experience to suit their preferences. Whether you prefer low-power mouth-to-lung (MTL) vaping or want a more powerful restricted direct lung (RDL) experience, the variable wattage gives you the flexibility to switch between the two. This makes the Novo 5 ideal for both beginner and advanced vapers alike.

Refillable Pods and Coil Performance

The Smok Novo 5 Pod Kit comes with a 2ml refillable pod that is easy to use and designed to provide a leak-proof vaping experience. The pod features a side-fill system sealed with a silicone plug, making refilling straightforward and minimizing the chances of any e-liquid spills. This makes the device low-maintenance, which is a bonus for those who want a hassle-free experience.

Each pod is equipped with a 0.7-ohm mesh coil, which is built-in and non-replaceable. While this might seem limiting to some, it actually simplifies the overall vaping process. Once the coil wears out, you simply replace the entire pod. The mesh coil design ensures excellent flavour and vapor production, especially when used with nicotine salts or high-PG e-liquids. The 0.7-ohm coil is optimized for MTL vaping, which delivers a tight, cigarette-like draw that’s satisfying for those looking to transition from smoking.

The pod itself attaches magnetically to the device, ensuring a secure connection without the risk of it popping out accidentally. This magnetic connection is both firm and easy to manage, adding to the Novo 5’s user-friendly design.

Adjustable Airflow System

One of the key features that set the Smok Novo 5 apart from other pod systems is its adjustable airflow system. Located on the side of the device, this rotating airflow control lets users fine-tune their draw for a more personalized vaping experience. Whether you prefer a tighter draw for MTL or a looser draw for RDL, the Novo 5 gives you the flexibility to find the perfect balance.

This feature is particularly beneficial for users who enjoy experimenting with different vaping styles. The adjustable airflow, combined with the variable wattage and 0.7-ohm mesh coil, makes the Smok Novo 5 one of the most versatile pod kits on the market.

Performance and User Experience

When it comes to performance, the Smok Novo 5 shines. The combination of its mesh coil and adjustable settings ensures a smooth and satisfying vape with each puff. The draw-activated firing system adds to the convenience, allowing users to take a hit without pressing any buttons, which feels natural and intuitive, especially for those coming from traditional cigarettes. Alternatively, users can also opt to use the button-activated firing system if they prefer a more tactile experience.

The flavour produced by the Novo 5’s mesh coils is rich and intense, particularly when using nicotine salts or 50/50 e-liquids. Vapor production is also impressive for a pod system, especially when the wattage is set closer to 30W. This makes the Novo 5 not only ideal for MTL vapers but also a great option for those who enjoy larger vapor clouds without the need for a full-sized mod.

The 900mAh battery holds up well under daily use, providing enough power for a full day of moderate vaping. For heavier users, the Type-C charging port ensures that downtime is kept to a minimum, thanks to its fast-charging capabilities.

Safety Features

Safety is a top priority for Smok, and the Novo 5 comes equipped with a variety of built-in safety protections to ensure a worry-free vaping experience. These include:

8-second cut-off protection: Prevents overheating and damage from extended firing.
Low voltage protection: Shuts off the device when battery levels are too low, protecting both the user and the device.
Short-circuit protection: Ensures that the device remains safe to use, even if there’s an issue with the coil or pod.
Overcharge protection: Safeguards the battery from damage during charging.

These safety features make the Novo 5 Pod Kit not only powerful but also reliable, giving users peace of mind.

Price and Availability

At Vapesoko Nairobi, the Smok Novo 5 Pod Kit is available for Ksh 5,500, making it an affordable option for vapers looking for a high-quality device. The price includes the device, a 2ml pod, a USB-C charging cable, and a user manual. With its combination of features, performance, and price point, the Novo 5 is an excellent value for money.

Conclusion
