Build Quality and Design of SMOK Novo 2
Almost nothing has been changed with the design of the SMOK Novo 2 compared to the original Novo. The SMOK Novo 2 measures only 88.3 x 24.5 x 14.5mm, weighs 4. grams. It is a small and compact pod system that fits comfortably in your hands. You can choose from 18 different designs. There are 8 resin-like editions (plastic panels, just look like resin).
The zinc alloy chassis with a marble-like finish gives the device a touch of class. The overall shape doesn’t have changes in this 2nd rendition which means that the duck-billed ergonomic mouthpiece retains all of the comforts the original Novo had. The SMOK Novo 2 features a draw-activated vape so you can simply vape on the mouthpiece. The SMOK Novo 2 is quite simple to use without any buttons.
SMOK Novo 2 Pods and Coils
The SMOK Novo 2 pods feature a curve that fits your lips perfectly. The mouthpiece made of the smooth and black plastic features the flat and wide shape that similar to the SMOK Nord. The SMOK Novo 2 pod cartridge is transparent. You can easily view the e-juice level without removing the pod. The filling method of the SMOK Novo 2 is the same as the SMOK Nord. Simply remove the pod from the device and fill the pod through the side port.
The SMOK Novo 2 kit comes with two pods in the box - a 1.4ohm dual coil pod and a 1.0ohm mesh coil pod. Those are non-removable coil pods so you cannot replace the coil. If the coil has expired, you will need to replace it with a new pod cartridge. The 1.4ohm pod delivers a restricted MTL draw for the notable flavor and throat hit while the 1.0ohm pod is more of a loose MTL vaping for much higher vapor production. We recommend you to use the 1.4ohm pod with nic salt and use the 1.0ohm pod with regular e-juice. Both of the pods will work perfectly with nicotine salt providing a more satisfying throat hit.
The SMOK Novo 2 pods are also compatible with the original Novo. There are also 6 other pods that compatible with SMOK Novo 2 (also compatible with the original Novo). You can purchase them for your Novo 2 separately.
·Novo Pod Ceramic 1.4ohm: high-temperature resistance, long lifespan
·Novo Pod Mesh 0.8ohm: fast-heating process, huge vapor production
·Novo Pod 1.2ohm
·Novo Pod 1.5ohm
·Novo 2 Quartz Coil Pod 1.4ohm: fast heat-up time, intense flavor
·Novo 2 DC DTL Pod 0.8ohm: intense throat hit, rich flavor
The Airflow of SMOK Novo 2 Pod:
The SMOK Novo 2 features the U-Shaped airflow. The airflow hole on each side of the Novo 2 Pod draws air in through the sides of the device, through the buttonhole of the pod and the coil to the mouthpiece.
You will get a different draw from different pod cartridge in the kit. The 1.4ohm pod features a tighter MTL draw and the 1.0ohm pod features a more airy MTL draw. The airflow is not adjustable on the SMOK Novo 2. The airflow is not too restricted or too loose. The SMOK Novo 2 is perfect for MTL vapers. Each pod feature a great draw resistance.
SMOK Novo 2 Battery and Output
The major improvement of the SMOK Novo 2 is the highly increased battery life. The SMOK Novo 2 features the same size as the original Novo but almost doubles the battery capacity. The 800mAh battery is sufficient for all-day vaping with moderate using.
The LED light on the device indicates the battery life.
·Red light: battery capacity lower than 30%
·Orange light: battery capacity between 30 and 70%
·Green light: battery capacity over 70%
When the battery life is under 30%, the draw will get weaker and unsatisfying. We recommend you to charge your SMOK Novo 2 when in red light.
