The SMOK Nord has become a household name in the world of pod vaping. Since the launch of the original model, the Nord series has evolved into one of the most versatile and reliable vape lineups on the market. From compact designs to powerful sub-ohm capabilities, each version of the SMOK Nord brings something unique to the table.
This guide will walk you through every major model in the SMOK Nord family, including the Nord, Nord 2, Nord 4, and Nord 5, to help you choose the one that best fits your vaping style.
The SMOK Nord is a pod vape series known for combining compact design with powerful performance. What sets the Nord apart from basic pod systems is its replaceable coil system. Instead of discarding the entire pod when the coil burns out, you simply swap in a new coil, saving money and reducing waste.
Over the years, SMOK has expanded the Nord range, giving each new model more power, more battery life, and better coil compatibility. The latest models even support adjustable wattage, screen displays, and sub-ohm vaping.
Here is a quick comparison between the SMOK Nord Models

| Nord 4 | 2000mAh | MTL & DTL | 80W | RPM Coils, RPM2 Coils | 0.25Ω to 1.2Ω |
| Nord 5 | 2000mAh | DTL | 80W | RPM3 Coils | 0.15 / 0.23 Ω |
| Nord C | 1800mAh | DTL | 50W | RPM 2 Coils | 0.16Ω to 0.6Ω |
| Nord GT | 2500mAh | DTL | 80W | RPM3 Coils | 0.15 / 0.23 Ω |
| Nord 50W | 1800mAh | MTL & DTL | 50W | RPM Coils, LP2 Coils, Nord Coils | 0.23Ω to 1.2Ω |

The SMOK Nord 4 steps up the Nord series by packing a 2000mAh battery and 80W max output into a still pocket-friendly body.
It introduces the airflow ring, which allows you to rotate and adjust the airflow. This is a unique feature that you can only find in the SMOK Nord vape series. The device accommodates both MTL and RDTL with a wide range of coil compatibility. You can use either RPM Coils (0.3 Ohm to 1.2 Ohm) or RPM 2 Coils (0.16 Ohm to 0.6 Ohm) with empty Nord 4 Pods. However, the device is only activated with a fire button, not by inhaling.
Overall, the Nord 4 is arguably the most advanced and versatile SMOK Nord, offering power, performance, and vape-style flexibility in one device.

The SMOK Nord 5 continues the Nord series with a focus on Direct-To-Lung vaping. It features an 80W max output, a 2000mAh battery, and a stepless airflow slider.
Unlike Nord 4, the Nord 5 is built exclusively for RPM 3 coils, which are designed for rich DTL vaping. The included 2ml pod uses a strong magnetic connection, improved leak resistance, and a wide mouthpiece for airy inhales. With Nord 5, you can either press the fire button or inhale from the mouthpiece to start vaping.
With its single fire button activation, USB-C fast charging, and OLED display, the Nord 5 offers everything you need for a rounded vaping experience in a compact device. It’s a great option for vapers who want bigger clouds in a portable format.

The SMOK Nord C is a compact pod kit with a 50W max output and a built-in 1800mAh battery, offering solid performance in a slim design. It features a 0.69" OLED screen, USB-C charging, and a stepless airflow slider for precise control.
The 2ml SMOK Nord C pods have an impressive side-to-open feature, meaning you don't have to remove the pod to refill. This makes the refilling process much faster and more convenient.
Compatible with RPM 2 coils, it supports both RDTL and RDL. SMOK Nord C is ideal for users who want a lightweight, adjustable pod vape with good flavour and power in a minimalist form.
£12.99
The SMOK Nord GT is a sleek, user-friendly pod kit with an 80W adjustable output and a bigger 2500mAh battery. Its 0.69" OLED display, USB-C fast charging, and intuitive dual airflow slider provide easy control over your settings and vape experience.
This kit uses RPM3 coils, built solely for DTL vaping with 0.23 and 0.15 ohms. The SMOK Nord GT will go best with high VG e liquid for more intense flavours and big clouds.
SMOK Nord GT is only activated by the fire button, not offering dual activation like SMOK Nord 5. This vape kit shares similarities with the SMOK Nord 5, but offers a higher battery capacity. It is suitable for anyone who is looking for a powerful, long-lasting and straight-forward DTL vape.
The SMOK Nord 50W is versatile with its compatibility with a wide range of coils. It comes with adjustable power, boasting a 50W output and an 1800 mAh battery. The device also features a 0.69″ OLED display, USB‑C fast charging, and a stepless airflow slider for precise control over your draw.
Designed for versatility, it accepts RPM Coils, LP2 Coils, and Nord Coils with coil resistance from 0.23 to 1.2 Ohm. The Nord 50W delivers consistent, flavourful clouds and stable airflow control. It’s a great pick for vapers seeking an adjustable pod kit to move back and forth between MTL and DTL Vaping.
£22.99
The SMOK Nord Pro is a simplified pod kit among others in the SMOK Nord Series. It runs on a 1100mAh battery with up to 25W output, suitable for MTL and RDTL.
There’s no airflow adjustment or screen, and operation is handled through a single fire button. Despite its minimal design, the Nord Pro supports a wide range of Nord coils and Nord Pro Coils, including 0.6Ω, 0.8Ω, 0.9Ω, and 1.4Ω options.
With a 2ml top-fill pod and USB-C charging, the Nord Pro keeps things simple while still delivering consistent flavour and vapour performance. It's a no-fuss device that does exactly what you need, without distractions.

The SMOK Nord is different from most small vape kits. It is a refillable vape kit, meaning you can reuse and refill the device again and again. It doesn’t use throwaway pods like disposable vapes. Instead, you can change the coil inside the pod, which saves money and gives you more control over your vaping style.
Even with the MTL coil (1.4Ω), the Nord makes more vapour than many basic pod vapes. If you’re used to a weaker device, you might want to use lower nicotine strength, especially with the 0.6Ω mesh coil, which is made for a stronger, cloudier vape.

The SMOK Nord is a tiny device, but it's meant to provide the most efficient size and strength combo the vaping industry has ever produced.
Charging the SMOK Nord is simple. Plug in the USB cable at the bottom of the device. A small light will show you how much battery is left:
When the battery is full, the light will turn off. To check the battery level, press the button quickly two times.
To fill the pod:
This waiting time helps the liquid soak into the coil, so you don’t burn it.
Note: Pair the SMOK Nord with a suitable e liquid for the best experience.
You should now have an SMOK Nord with a fully charged battery, a fully charged pod, and a primed coil.
With several models now in the SMOK Nord series, each device is built to suit a different vaping style, from simple and beginner-friendly to powerful and performance-focused. Here’s a quick summary to help you choose the right one:
No matter your experience level or vaping preference, the SMOK Nord series has a pod kit that can fit your needs.
