What's The Difference Between Nord 4 And Nord 5?

SMOK has recently released the latest device in the Nord range, The SMOK Nord 5. The SMOK Nord 5 vape kit features a similar design to the SMOK Nord 4 but has some noticeable improvements. The main difference is that Nord 5 has just one pod that can only fit one coil type.

Appearance

The SMOK Nord 5 and Nord 4 devices are available in 12 different colour options, eight standard colours and four leather series colourways.

OLED Screen

These Nord devices feature a small OLED screen that displays your wattage level, puff counter, battery level and much more on the side of the device, which is a convenient feature.

Fire Button

Like all the previous SMOK Nord devices, the device will typically have a small LED-lit button on the front, which is used to fire the device, change settings, and turn the kit on/off.

Adjustment Buttons

Both the SMOK Nord 4 and Nord 5 will also have two small buttons underneath the small OLED screen, allowing you to adjust the wattage level of the kit you are using to a higher or lower level of wattage.

Airflow

The Nord 5 has more improved airflow technology. The SMOK Nord 4 features a rotating airflow that can be twisted to open or close the airflow holes for more or less. The Nord 5 device now features a sliding button on the front, allowing more or less airflow into the device, but this design is much more reliable and is easier to function.

Pod & Coil

The SMOK Nord 4 and Nord 5 have very similar pod system technology. The main difference is that the pods available for the Nord 4 will allow the user to use multiple different coils in the device with different pods. The Nord 5 features innovative child-proof technology to ensure safety, but this Nord 5 pod currently only works with the SMOK RPM 2 0.15 Ohm and 0.23 Ohm coils, which are ideal for DTL vaping.

Is Nord 4 better than Nord 2?

The SMOK Nord 2 has been a very reliable vaping device over the years, and the Nord range has only improved with much-needed upgrades. The Nord 4 now features a 2000mAh battery which is a considerably noticeable improvement, making the Nord 4 a better device than the Nord 2.

Power Output

• Nord 2: The SMOK Nord 2 offers a variable wattage feature that allows you to change the wattage level from 1-40W and is best suited for MTL vaping.

• Nord 4: The SMOK Nord 4 features a variable wattage option that can be adjusted from 5-80W, which is ideal for sub-ohm vaping.

Battery Size

• Nord 2: The Nord 2 device has a 1500mAh battery, which can easily last for a full day of moderate vaping.

• Nord 4: The Nord 4 vape kit houses a 2000mAh battery, which will roughly last for a day and a half of moderate vaping use before needing recharging.

Pod Design

• Nord 2: The Nord 2 offers two different 2ml pod options that allow users to switch between the SMOK RPM coils and the Nord coils available to suit all different vaping styles.

• Nord 4: The Nord 4 also offers two different 2ml pod options, but the difference with these is that they are only compatible with the SMOK RPM and RPM2 coils.
