Review of SMOK Nord 50W POD kit

The emergence of POD systems and liquids based on nicotine salts has made a kind of revolution in the world of vaping, since there is no longer a need to constantly carry powerful devices with you. But vapers immediately had a number of questions and complaints regarding POD systems, related primarily to the cost of consumables and autonomy. This is how pod-mods came into being. The Chinese company SMOK can confidently be considered the undisputed leader in the production of pod-mods, which produces devices of this format with enviable regularity. Surely many vapers know the Nord line, which the company decided to expand with another device, the SMOK Nord 50W POD kit. It is somewhat reminiscent of previously released devices, but at the same time it has a number of very interesting features.

General information

Battery pack Nord 50W Device

It is unlikely that anyone will argue that the SMOK company is the undisputed leader in the production of pod-mods (just remember the legendary RPM device, which was the best-selling in 2019). The number of these devices is difficult to calculate offhand, since devices of this format appear with enviable regularity. Having decided to continue the Nord series, the company decided to release another device, the SMOK Nord 50W POD kit, which, although similar to the previous ones, is still able to please vapers with its characteristics and features.

All you have to do is just look at the SMOK Nord 50W POD kit and it becomes clear what kind of series this is, there are a lot of characteristic lines and details in it that are 100% recognizable. Still the same slightly rounded body with smooth lines and rounded corners and edges, still the same small size. It is worth saying that the SMOK Nord 50W POD kit is available in two series: Regular and Leather, and the sizes of the series are slightly different and are 31 * 22.6 * 97 and 32 * 23.9 * 98 mm, respectively.

The design deserves special attention. The Regular series are traditional devices with multi-colored plastic inserts, among which the vaper will certainly be able to find a suitable option. Leather series with eco-leather inserts, thanks to which even such a compact and fairly simple device looks expensive and stylish.

As the name implies, the power of the SMOK Nord 50W POD kit is 50 Watts, and it is provided by a built-in 1800 mAh battery, which is a very good indicator for a device of this size and format.

The battery is charged using the USB Type-C connector located on the bottom end of the device, with a current of 1.2A.

SMOK Nord 50W POD kit is equipped with a fairly simple chipset that allows you to use the device in variable watt mode with a power of 5-50 Watts. To activate, there is a Fire button protruding on the front panel. The display, traditionally for Nord series devices, is located on the side, and on it you can find a minimum set of information about the operation of the device. In order to set the power, you need to press the fire button, after which the indicator will increase.

SMOK Nord POD Cartridge

According to established tradition, the SMOK Nord 50W POD kit includes two cartridges for various types of evaporators Nord 50W LP2 Pod and Nord 50W Nord Pod, and if desired, you can additionally buy a Nord 50W RPM Pod cartridge. The battery pack holds the cartridges using magnets.

The Nord 50W Nord Pod cartridge is designed for use with Nord series evaporators, which can be easily purchased at any vape shop. The Nord 50W LP2 Pod cartridge is designed for the new LP2 series of evaporators, which are characterized by a high degree of leakage protection.

The SMOK Nord 50W POD kit provides airflow adjustment, which is implemented using a small slider located on the battery block, and you can set the airflow to either DL or almost MTL.

Refilling the cartridges is the same; you need to remove it from the battery pack, open the silicone plug on the side surface and fill in 4 or 4.5 ml of liquid.
