Best Pod Mods of 2021

The SMOK Nord is a popular pod device that uses an internal 1100mAh battery. The vape features a removable 3ml liquid cartridge that uses removable atomizers.

Two atomizers come in the pod kit: 0.6ohm mesh coil or a standard, mouth-to-lung coil rated at 1.4ohms. Which significantly extends the liquid options allowing to vape both nicotine salts and regular e-liquids.

The unit features a zinc alloy build and weighs only 80g. It stands at 94mm (3.7″). The Nord is not draw-activated and has a single operating button on its exterior. Standard 5-clicks turn-on/off prevents unexpected firing in a pocket.

The Nord has easy to understand system of notifications:

• blinking 3 times after turning on/off,
• blinking 4 times in case of detecting load short circuit and the battery will shut down (to fix replace the atomizer),
• 15 times with a low-battery,
• Green light — battery is charged
• Yellow — is going low
• Red — needs recharging

There is also a USB port for charging the internal cell. The power output on the pod mod ranges from 10 to 15W. The Nord has close to forty different color options and two other coil options.
