The first is a classic 1.4 ohm coil for MTL vaping. You can also pick
these up in ceramic versions. The second, measured at 0.6 ohm, is rather
oriented for direct-to-lung vaping, and has a mesh type coil, which
ensures faster and more balanced heating of the resistive element. The
result is rather surprising, the pod emits a great deal of vapour with
no ramp up time.
The vape delivers full throttle immediately.When it comes to filling your tank, you’ll be going in through the side
of the pod, which is practical but nevertheless caused a few drops to
slip into the battery casing. Nothing critical, but should be kept in
mind.
The battery, in addition to the significant charge, is rather small and
only weighs in at 80 grams. Thus the Nord is a convenient, compact
device you won’t even notice in your pocket.In terms of design, while
the form is simple, the most striking feature is the
“3D-cubic-honeycomb” texture. This design choice is the same across the 6
colours available.
We can also note the mouth-piece, which is unusual to say the least. Rather than a flat drip tip, the Nord has an
S-shaped opening. At times, it was like having a pacifier between your
lips, if a rather unusual one. But this is something you get used to,
and in fact come to enjoy. Others at Blog Vape’s reviewing team tried it
without even noticing the difference.
Available for about thirty Euros, Smok’s latest pod system gets top
marks. The extensive experience of the company means they know what they
are doing when it comes to vaping design and technology.
