Design & Quality
SMOK is known for high quality, reliable vaping products and, as you might imagine, the latest version, the SMOK Novo 2X doesn’t disappoint. Its design is on point, and it is made from good quality materials too.
Device
Like the earlier incarnations of SMOK Novo range, the Novo 2X has a stylish, sleek body that feels good in the hand and looks just as fantastic. There are 10 colour options to pick from, from subtle shades to more vibrant colours and patterns.
Seven of the options have a cobra background pattern while the other three options are more highly patterned, including a fluid black grey, a red stabilizing wood and a fluid 7 colour design, ensuring that there’s something to suit everybody.
Weighing just 45g, the SMOK Novo 2X is lightweight, and it’s compact too, measuring just 97mm x 24.5mm x 14.5mm, allowing you to take it anywhere you want to go without any difficulties. The body of the device features no screen or buttons, only an LED indicator that lets you know how much power you have left before needing a recharge, so it’s a minimalistic yet aesthetically pleasing device.
NOVO 2X Pods
Aside from the NOVO 2X pods, this device is also compatible with previous SMOK Novo 2 and Novo pods, both of which are side-filling. But for extra convenience, the new Novo 2X pods are the best for its top filling. All in all, it adds up to extra versatility and flexibility. The kit comes complete with two new Novo 2X 0.9 ohm pods which allow for a satisfying MTL vape. Their meshed pod design allows for a more balanced heat distribution, so you can enjoy more subtle flavours from your vape.
Battery & Charging
The Novo 2X comes with an integral 800mAh battery that can be recharged with the included USB Type C charger at a charge rate of 0.7A. You can see at a glance how much battery power is remaining thanks to the LED indicator lights on the side of the device’s body.
Performance
The 0.9 Ohm coil that comes with the Smok Novo 2X is designed to allow the e-juice inside the pod to be vaporized against a wider surface area to boost flavor production. When paired with e-liquids of 50% PG or higher, the coil will last for the maximum length of time while also ensuring the best possible flavor production for MTL vapers.
Alternatively, if you’re looking for a denser vapour as well as excellent flavour, the Novo 2 0.9ohm pod is a great choice, and if the biggest possible clouds are your goal the Novo Pod 0.8 ohm coil is right for you. Meanwhile, for the purest taste and smoothest throat hit, the Novo 2 DT 1.4 ohm pod will fit the bill perfectly.
Ease Of Use
The SMOK Novo 2X is ideal for newcomers to vaping since it couldn’t be simpler to use. The device is designed to adjust its output automatically to suit whichever coil is installed in it, from 12W – 20W for pods under 0.7 ohm, or 4W – 14W for pods over 0.7 ohm.
It couldn’t be easier to operate this device either, since it has an automatic draw feature that operates as soon as you inhale on its mouthpiece. Even then airflow adjustment is easy thanks to the handy slider that allows you to tailor your vape to suit your preferences.
Price
If you’re a new vaper who wants to enjoy a high-quality vaping experience that has no steep learning curve, the SMOK Novo 2X is a cost-effective choice for you. While it certainly isn’t the cheapest pod kit on the market, it’s also far from being the most expensive, and with the high performance that it offers, its mid price-point represents great value for money for what you’re getting in the kit.
Verdict
If you’re trying to quit your smoking habit and want to try vaping as an effective solution, you could do a lot worse than choosing the SMOK Novo 2X pod kit. Designed to meet the needs of newcomers to the world of vaping, this pod device couldn’t be simpler to get to grips with.
