I think it’s safe to say that the SMOK NORD 2 Pod was always going to happen because, after all, the first one was a huge hit. What’s more, can the NORD 2 live up to the generated excitement?
Here, we’ll see whether the NORD 2 is worth the investment and whether or not it can join the ranks of the best vape pods.
Appearance
The NORD 2 does not go too much from the original’s elegant design. The SMOK design sets this apart, with a beautiful screen ideally positioned on the side of its battery.
Even though it is heavier than its predecessor, it is not noticeable to the naked eye until they are side-by-side. The NORD 2 features a 1500mAh battery, which is 400mAh more potent than the original model.
Aside from the fact that it isn’t significantly different, this achieves a contemporary and rounded aesthetic that I truly like.
Perhaps a bit more variation in the design might have been better for this. But as the saying goes, ‘if it’s not broken, don’t try to repair it.
Performance
The NORD 2 excels in this area. Smokin’s newer model boasts 40W of power, compared to the old model’s 15W.
What’s the point of having so much control? The NORD 2 can utilize both the NORD and RPM coils, so that’s a good thing. For this reason, more power is required while using the RPM variations as opposed to the NORD.
It’s hard for me to find anything wrong with this performance. After three clicks of the button, you may easily modify the wattage to your chosen level by clicking on the screen again and again.
In my opinion, utilizing the RPM coils instead of the NORD coils increased the experience significantly.
Both coils provide excellent vapor and flavor, but I prefer the RPMs.
The NORD coils are ideal for those who like MTL vaping. The RPM coils in the NORD 2 are the best option for those who want a bit more oomph.
Aside from those RPM coils, I was satisfied with the NORD 2’s overall performance. It’s significantly more adaptable than the original.
Build Quality and Design
A bigger battery and display have resulted in the SMOK Nord 2 Pod System measuring 95mm x 30.5mm x 20mm, making it a touch thicker and taller than the original SMOK Nord 2. The Nord 2 is nevertheless ultra-lightweight and easy to carry in a pocket with its zinc alloy construction. The PC pattern panels are easy to hold on to on both sides. This model has a similar general design and color scheme to its predecessor.
The SMOK Nord 2 has a 1500mAh battery and a maximum output of 40W, making it more powerful. The 1100mAh battery in the original Nord can only provide 10 – 15W of power. It’s still a pod system that’s activated with a button. Upgraded components in the SMOK Nord 2 include a 0.69-inch OLED screen located on the side. In addition to the Nord 2 RPM pod, you get a Nord 2 Nord pod, which gives you extra pod and coil possibilities. This kit comes with two of them. The USB port is located on the bottom of the gadget. On the SMOK Nord 2 Pod, you will see the battery % and projected charging time on the screen when you plug it in.
Power Sources and Airflow
The SMOK Nord 2 is a versatile but basic piece of equipment. With a 1500mAh rechargeable battery, the new Nord is much larger than the previous model. 40W is the new maximum power, identical to SMOK RPM40’s output. The SMOK Nord 2 Pod has a single button for easy operation, making it ideal for vaping newcomers. To use the Nord 2, press and hold the power button for five seconds. To change the wattage output, press the button three times. A bright and crisp 0.69-inch OLED screen on the body’s side.
The original SMOK Nord Pod Kit has two ventilation holes in the same spot. As a result of its greater width and higher wattage, it can produce much more vapor thanks to the increased airflow. As an alternative to a typical magnetic connection, a simple clip holds SMOK Nord 2 battery and pod in place. In addition, various safety safeguards are in place to provide a risk-free vaping experience, including pod identification, short circuit protection, an 8-second cutoff, and low voltage protection.
Cartridge
It comes with RPM Mesh and Nord DC 0.4ohm MTL coils in the package, so you’ll have plenty of options. The E-liquid capacity for both pods is 4.5 milliliters (4.5 milliliters). The drip tips on the pods are flat and comfy. However, you cannot remove them. Both coils provide a rich taste and a substantial amount of vapor. The flavor is intense and full-bodied.
It’s designed for MTL vapers and has a longer lifetime, ideal for MTL vapers who want more cloud and flavor from their coils. The honeycombed mesh construction of the SMOK Nord 0.4 ohm RPM Mesh Coils makes them suitable for flavor chasers.
Review of the SMOK Nord 2 Pod System
Compact and uncomplicated, the SMOK Nord 2 packs a tremendous punch in a bit of package. Even the SMOK RPM40 can’t match the Nord 2’s smooth and rich airflow. The vaping data is shown on a tiny OLED side panel. A pod kit with a 1500mAh battery and a power range of 1 to 40W is ideal for both new and seasoned vapers. The Nord DC MTL coil and the 0.4ohm RPM Mesh coil excel in flavor and vapor production. If you like the SMOK Nord, I strongly suggest giving the SMOK Nord 2 a go if you want it. A greater wattage will deliver you a more satisfying taste and vapor. It’s clear to see how much better things have become.
