Review of Smok Novo 4 Kit

Recently, many vapers have felt considerable pressure from the legislative bodies, which was expressed in the adoption of that very sensational bill. But this does not mean that vapers en masse began to abandon tasty and aromatic vapor, so it is quite logical that interest in new devices has not faded away. The Smok company has repeatedly pleased us with its productivity, as evidenced by the number of new devices constantly released. Moreover, interestingly, Smok adheres to a policy of constantly improving already released devices, and this cannot but rejoice, since the vaper will receive a device that is already familiar to him, but with a lot of goodies. This is exactly the situation that happened with devices of the Smok Novo series, the latest device of which is the Novo 4 Kit.

General information

Smok Novo 4 Kit is a compact pod-mod, powered by a fairly powerful built-in battery, equipped with a good chip and designed for the use of new generation LP1 evaporators. The company didn’t put much effort into the design of the new device: the same familiar lines, ergonomic body and comfortable mouthpiece. The vaper has at his disposal a variable wattage, activation when puffing and a practical airflow adjustment ring. The new device is designed to use the new LP1 series evaporators, made with both standard spirals and mesh. You can buy Smok Novo 4 Kit in ten colors, and you can choose both traditional colors and original solutions.

Equipment

Considering that the Smok Novo 4 Kit is a fairly standard sub-mod, the Smok company did not package it in any special way; everything is quite standard and in the Smok style. In the vaper’s box awaits:

Battery pack Novo 4 Battery;

Novo 4 Pod Cartridge;

Two LP1 Meshed8 Ohm evaporators;

USB Type-C cable;

User’s Guide.

Novo 4 Battery Pack

In the Smok company’s assortment you can find many pod-mods and POD systems that have appealed to vapers all over the world (just remember that one of the best-selling devices was the Smok RPM). The Novo series has always been compact, but at the same time there were many complaints and comments about such devices, so the appearance of Smok Novo 4 Kit was quite logical and expected, since it corrected most of the errors of previous versions.

If a vaper has encountered devices from the Novo series before, then in the Smok Novo 4 Kit he will certainly recognize all the characteristic features of this line: compact dimensions (93.5 * 26.5 * 17.7 mm), rounded corners and edges, and an ergonomic mouthpiece. An important positive point is the choice of colors for the new device; the vaper has 10 colors at his disposal, ranging from strict black or silver carbon fiber to a bright imitation of stabilized wood, there is plenty to choose from.

The maximum power of Smok Novo 4 Kit is 25 Watts and it is provided by a built-in 800 mAh battery, which is not very much, but it is quite enough for battery life during the day.

The battery is charged using the USB Type-C connector located on the bottom end of the device with a current of 0.74A, and the full charging time is about 90 minutes.

It is quite logical that Smok Novo 4 Kit is equipped with a fairly simple chipset, thanks to which you can get not only a full set of protections, but also the ability to change the power within 5-25 Watts. For control, there is only one Fire button, pressing which allows you to set the power and turn the device on/off, and activation is only done by tightening it, and not by pressing this key. The device is equipped with a small monochrome display, which displays a minimal set of data about the operation of the pod-mod.

Novo 4 Pod Cartridge

Unlike previous versions of Novo, the Smok Novo 4 Kit has a cartridge with replaceable evaporators that were designed specifically for it. The cartridge is held in the battery pack without the help of magnets; it just needs to be inserted until it stops.

The manufacturer developed LP1 series evaporators especially for this sub-mod, and currently there are three options for evaporators: 0.8 Ohm on a mesh, 0.8 and 1.2 Ohm on a standard kanthal coil.

Smok Novo 4 Kit is equipped with a fairly convenient and practical airflow adjustment system, implemented in the form of a small wheel, which is located on the side surface of the battery pack.

To refill the cartridge, you need to remove it from the battery block, open the small silicone plug on the side surface and fill in 2 ml of liquid, and it is advisable to use bottles with a thin metal spout, since the hole is small.

Conclusions and impressions

We can confidently say that when developing the Novo 4 Kit, Smok took into account many comments and wishes of users, making the device quite interesting and practical. The vaper will have at his disposal a compact device with variable airflow and replaceable evaporators, an excellent option for lovers of salt nicotine liquid.
