Performance
The Smok Nord 5 has a 2000mAh battery, which is larger than the battery in the Nord 4. This means that the Nord 5 can last for longer on a single charge.
The Nord 5 has an output range of 5-80 watts, which gives you a lot of flexibility in terms of how you vape. You can use the Nord 5 for both MTL and DTL vaping, and you can adjust the wattage to get the perfect vape experience for you.
The Nord 5 comes with two coils: a 0.15ohm mesh coil for DTL vaping and a 0.23ohm mesh coil for MTL vaping. Both coils are very good, and they produce excellent flavor and vapor production.
The 0.15ohm mesh coil is best for DTL vaping. It produces a lot of vapor and flavor, and it is great for vaping high-VG e-liquids. The 0.23ohm mesh coil is best for MTL vaping. It produces a more restricted vape, and it is great for vaping high-PG e-liquids.
The Nord 5 also has a new temperature control mode that allows you to vape at a specific temperature. This is great for vapers who want to get the most out of their e-liquids.
Airflow
The Nord 5 has a new airflow control system that is much easier to use than the airflow control system on the Nord 4. The airflow control lever is located on the bottom of the device, and it is very easy to adjust.
The Nord 5 has a wide range of airflow options, so you can customize the vape experience to your liking. You can open up the airflow for a more airy vape, or you can close down the airflow for a more restricted vape.
The airflow lever is also very smooth, so you can easily adjust the airflow, and fine tune it to your liking,
Build Quality
The Smok Nord 5 is made of high-quality materials, and it has a sleek and stylish design. The device is made of zinc alloy, and it has a durable plastic coating. The Nord 5 is also very lightweight, making it easy to carry around with you.
The Nord 5 has a clear pod that allows you to see the e-liquid level. The pod is also very easy to fill, and it has a child-proof lock to prevent accidental spills.
The Nord 5 is also very durable. It is made of high-quality materials, and it has a sturdy design. I have dropped it a few times, and it has not been damaged.
It comes in a choice of 8 regular finishes,and 4 stunning leather editions.
Although I really like the look and feel of the Leather faced pods, I do find that they tend to get a little grubby quite quickly, especially when Eliquid is involved. Definitely not as easy to maintain and clean as the plastic finish. But I must say the gray leather edition that I was sent, looked stunning, and felt great in the hand.
Other Features
The Smok Nord 5 also has a few other features that make it a great pod mod device. These features include:
- A bright LED screen that displays the battery level, wattage, and puff counter.
- A Type-C USB charging port that allows for fast charging.
- A child-proof lock to prevent accidental firing.
- A 2ml pod capacity that is refillable through a simple rubber plug on the side of the pod.
It is unusual to have a thin stacked display, with each item stacked on top of each other, most devices would have a side on display, which you would have to turn on its side to read.
Overall
The Smok Nord 5 is a great pod mod device that offers a lot of features and performance. It is a versatile device that can be used for both MTL and DTL vaping, and it has a long-lasting battery. The Nord 5 is also very easy to use, making it a great choice for both beginners and experienced vapers.
Here are some additional things to consider when choosing the Smok Nord 5:
- The Nord 5 is a bit larger and heavier than the Nord 4, but it is still very portable.
- The Nord 5 is not as customizable as some other pod mod devices, but it still offers a good amount of flexibility.
- The Nord 5 is a bit more expensive than some other pod mod devices, but it is worth the price for the performance and features it offers.
Overall, the Smok Nord 5 is a great successor to the Nord 4, and defiantly worth adding to your vaping line up.
