Smok Nord Pods Comparison
The original Nord pods were extremely popular and was truly revolutionary when it was first released, it was one of the first small pod systems that had the ability to allow you to choose between DTL and MTL inhales.

The Smok Nord pro pods are similar to the original Nord pod but features a new child-resistant system that locks the coil firmly in place. The Nord Pro pod also allows you to change the airflow depending on what way around you insert the pod.

The Nord X pod was the first from the series to have a transparent window, allowing you to clearly see your vape juice levels - a very welcomed upgrade.

All pods are disposable, so can be easily replaced once you are ready to, they also have a comfortable mouthpiece that is pleasant to use, and helps you disassociate from the traditional round cigarette-like mouthpiece.

Smok Nord Battery Comparison
The battery can make a massive difference to your vaping experience. Wattage increases generally as battery size increases, which does mean the overall size of the kit increases. So if you are after a smaller more compact vape, then go for one of the Nord kits that have a smaller battery size, but bear in mind you might need to compromise on wattage power. 

Having a large battery in your kit, can not only mean power but also allows you to vape for longer without the need to charge, depending on what wattage you select. However, the charging time can be longer with a bigger battery, so it's important to consider all of these factors when selecting your perfect kit.

This series features amazing kits that will give you a fantastic experience no matter which one you choose, but, ensure to consider what you want out of a kit, versatility, ease of use, compact size, battery longevity or coil compatibility can change your vaping experience so decide what feature stands out to you when selecting your Nord device.
