SMOK Novo Series

Yes. Every pod in the Novo Series refills from the top. Lift the silicone bung, or unclip the mouthpiece, fill to just under the max line, then leave it 5 minutes before your first vape so the wick soaks up the e-liquid.

The Novo 6, Novo 6 Ultra, Novo Classy and Novo Pro all let you set the power. The Novo 6 and Ultra go to 40W, the Classy to 35W and the Pro to 30W. The Novo Eco has no wattage control and sets its own based on the pod.

All five kits fire on inhale. The Novo Classy and Novo Pro also have a fire button if you'd rather use one. On the Pro, press the power button 4 times to switch between the two.

Most people get a day out of the 1700mAh kits and a bit less from the 1000mAh Eco. Power draw matters more than capacity here, so a 0.4ohm pod at 25W will flatten the battery faster than a 0.8ohm pod at 12W. All five charge over USB-C, with the Classy quickest at around 45 minutes.

Nic salts and 50/50 e-liquids. Anything thicker than 60/40 struggles to wick through these pods and can give you dry hits. A 10ml bottle fills a 2ml pod five times, which works out cheaper per week than buying prefilled pods.

Usually a flooded coil. Overfilling past the max line, vaping straight after a refill, or leaving a warm device in a car will all push e-liquid past the seal. Take the pod out, tip it onto kitchen roll, wipe the contacts dry and take a few pulls with the device switched off. Also, avoid chain vaping as this can overheat the coil and cause the vape juice to leak out.
