Smok Novo 6 Kit $14.39 – 40-Watt 1700mAh Variable Wattage Pod System

SMOK Novo 6: Massive Power in a Pocket-Friendly Pod System

The Smok Novo 6 Kit firmly establishes itself as the new standard in the legendary Novo family by directly addressing the power and longevity limitations of its predecessor. While the Novo 5 was a solid performer at 30W with a 900mAh battery, the Novo 6 delivers a monumental leap forward, integrating a massive 1700mAh battery and boosting the output to an incredible 40W. This battery upgrade provides the necessary capacity to sustain consistent 40W output, offering up to five days of use without a recharge for light vapers. This also provides enough power for satisfying restricted direct-to-lung (RDL) hits, a capability previous Novo models struggled to sustain for extended periods.

The inclusion of a larger 0.96-inch TFT display further refines your experience, allowing for detailed monitoring and personalized theme customization, moving the device out of the entry-level category and into a compact, sophisticated mod territory. And the airflow control has also been recalibrated to handle the wider 40W range, ensuring you can achieve an optimized draw without sacrificing its popular pocket-friendly design.

Our Take: What Works and What Doesn’t

Pro:

• Huge 1700mAh Battery: Provides unmatched battery life in a device of this size, reliably lasting multiple days at moderate MTL settings.

• 40W Max Output: Allows the device to handle lower resistance coils, giving users access to bigger vapor and better RDL performance than the 30W Novo 5.

• Novo 5 Pod Compatibility: Streamlines the coil transition for existing Novo users, ensuring their favorite pods (0.6Ω and 0.7Ω) work perfectly.

• Dual Firing Modes & Airflow: Offers the ultimate in customization with both draw-activation and button-fire modes, plus precise adjustment for the perfect MTL or RDL draw.

• Large 0.96″ TFT Display: The highly visible screen provides comprehensive real-time data, including battery life, wattage, and puff count.

Con:

• Pod Capacity Still 3mL: While adequate, the 3mL capacity is small for a 40W device and will require frequent refilling when running at higher wattage.

• Focus on Customization: The 0.96″ display with animations and themes may be considered unnecessary complexity for vapers who preferred the plug-and-play simplicity of earlier Novo versions.

• Coil Requirement: The new 40W capability requires the user to specifically use the 0.6Ω or 0.7Ω Novo 5 Meshed Pods to achieve the best performance. Other Novo pods are not recommended.
