What’s the best SMOK NOVO vape? Here’s our hot-take on this contentious subject based on the teams’ experience testing out all of SMOK’s NOVO pod vapes over the past several years…
Best SMOK NOVO Vape
Newer is Usually Better
When it comes to SMOK’s NOVO lineup of pod vapes, newer is always better. Since the release of the first ever SMOK NOVO, way back in 2018, SMOK has massively updated the platform, adding in more power, more performance, better user experience, and significantly better coils.

Case in point, while the SMOK NOVO 4 and SMOK NOVO 5 are very similar, the SMOK NOVO 5 has slightly more power under the hood which means it can provide a more precise hit with certain vape juices and coil setups.
But the step up from the SMOK NOVO 2 or the SMOK NOVO 3 to the SMOK NOVO 4 and 5 is significant; SMOK added a raft of new features between the NOVO 3 and NOVO 4/NOVO 5; things like adjustable airflow, button-activation firing, and new mesh coils that provide thicker, better flavor.

Relatively speaking, there are essentially two eras of SMOK NOVO pods: the SMOK NOVO era, made up of the SMOK NOVO and SMOK NOVO 2, where the device was all about being discreet and compact, and the post SMOK NOVO 3 era when it became a more functional pod vape device with higher power output and more features (like AFC).
My advice? If you want the best possible performance, battery life, and features right now, go with the SMOK NOVO 5. It is a brilliantly appointed pod vape that is packed with useful features. It’s still very compact, the coils are brilliant, and the battery life (and its built in fast charge) make it a brilliant addition to anyone’s vape collection.
