SMOK Nord Pod 15W Kit Review
Mod electronic cigarette models are indispensable, especially for dense vapor. However, most users don't need an e-cigarette model to produce as much dense vapor as a hookah. This need led to the emergence of "mouth-to-lung (MTL) vaping" and "pod e-cigarette" concepts worldwide. The SMOK Nord Pod, produced by Smoktech, a beloved brand in the e-cigarette world known by users and non-users alike, has been a favorite among pod e-cigarette users. You can find a review of the Smok Nord Pod 15W Kit on our website and get answers to all your questions about the product. The Smok Nord Pod 15W Kit is a device you'll definitely want to own if you're looking for a pod e-cigarette. After discussing its technical specifications, we'll talk about why the Nord Pod is special.
The Smok Nord Pod 15W Kit is a complete e-cigarette kit. This means that when you purchase the product, everything you need, except for salt e-liquid, is included in the kit. However, when the spare pod cartridges included in the package wear out and become unusable, you will need to order replacements from our website.
Weighing 80 grams, the Smok Nord Pod 15W, as its name suggests, is a pod e-cigarette that can operate at a maximum of 15W. Before we go into the details of the device's review and technical specifications, let's briefly discuss what a pod electronic cigarette / pod e-cigarette is.
What is a Pod E-Cigarette?
Pod e-cigarettes are similar to classic e-cigarette models in many ways. These models use a "pod" filled with a different type of e-liquid known as "salt e-liquid" instead of the e-liquid tank found in electronic cigarettes, and the vapor they produce more closely resembles tobacco cigarette smoke. Therefore, pod e-cigarette models do not require high wattages, large batteries, or extensive power.
The SMOK Nord Pod 15W Kit, operating between 10W - 15W, features a fixed 1100 mAh battery. Thanks to the micro USB input at the base of the body, you can easily charge the device. The Smok Nord Pod 15W Pod Kit is fired with a button on the body and provides information about the battery level via LED lights on the body.
The Smok Nord Pod 15W Kit uses a type of pod (cartridge) with a 3 ml salt e-liquid reservoir. This pod cartridge is very practical as it is refillable. Additionally, by changing the coil structure inside the pod cartridge, you can switch between "mouth-to-lung" (MTL) and "direct-to-lung" (DTL) vaping styles, which is a flexibility not found in many cartridge-based e-cigarette devices today.
Air channels on the body, 8-second firing cut-off, short circuit protection, low voltage warning, ergonomic mouthpiece, magnetic pod (cartridge) - body connection, and various body color options are among the important features of the Smok Nord Pod 15W Kit.

How to Set Up the Smok Nord Pod 15W Kit?
The first thing you should do when you open the box is to start charging the battery body. This way, when you set up the pod - cartridge part and connect it to the body, you can start using your pod e-cigarette device right away.
When the pod e-cigarette reaches you, it will be in a disassembled state. The first thing you need to do is insert the coil into the pod (cartridge) part. You can see a hole at the bottom of the SMOK Nord 15W's pod cartridge. Insert the coil structure that comes with the box contents into this part according to your preferred vaping style. Place the thinner part of the coil facing the inside of the pod cartridge.
When inserting the coil into the pod cartridge, first attach it gently. Then, when you press it lightly, the coil will be fully seated in the pod cartridge.
The second part is to perform the e-liquid filling. To do this, examine the pod cartridge before attaching it to the body. You can see a silicone stopper on the side of the cartridge. Remove this stopper and fill with salt e-liquid.
The last thing you need to do is insert the cartridge, containing the coil and salt e-liquid, into the battery body. Since the Smok Nord Pod 15W has a magnetic structure, gently place the cartridge into the body. Just like with the coil, after inserting the cartridge into the body and pushing it lightly, the pod and body will connect.
To turn on and activate the SMOK Nord Pod 15W Kit after assembly, you need to press the firing - vapor button 5 times in quick succession. When you do this, your device will start producing vapor. But be careful! If the device produces vapor for more than 8 seconds, it will automatically shut down. This is to protect the coil from overheating.
SMOK NORD POD 15W KIT LED INDICATORS
As with most pod e-cigarette models, the Smok Nord Pod 15W doesn't require a screen or elaborate adjustment buttons. You can easily make all kinds of adjustments with a single button and a single LED light. Let's start by talking about the firing mechanism and power button.
If you press the firing button on the body 5 times in quick succession, the SMOK Nord Pod 15W will become active and its LED light will turn white. If you do the same to an active device, the device will turn off. If you want to check the battery status of your device, simply press the firing button twice quickly in a row.
When you press the power button twice and the LED light glows green, it means your battery is fully charged. A white LED light indicates that the device is charging. Blue indicates your battery is at a medium level, and finally, an orange-red LED indicator shows that the device's battery is significantly low. You can charge your device via computer using the micro USB cable included in the box or through a USB adapter.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE SMOK NORD POD 15 KIT
Coil replacement and e-liquid refilling capabilities make the SMOK Nord Pod 15W Kit a successful and flexible pod e-cigarette model. Below, you can find answers to your questions about the device.
WHAT DOES SHORT CIRCUIT PROTECTION MEAN?
Most pod e-cigarette models feature short circuit protection. Like all electronic devices, e-cigarette models carry an electrical charge. When carrying these devices in your bag or pocket with other metal objects or electronic devices, there's a risk of a short circuit. To prevent this, especially pod e-cigarette models have short circuit protection. The Smok Nord Pod 15W Kit also features short circuit protection.
What is 8-Second Firing Protection?
Overheating of the coil in e-cigarettes leading to burning is a common occurrence. To prevent this, all new-generation e-cigarette models have an 8-second firing cut-off. This means that if you press the firing button for more than 8 seconds, the device will automatically shut down and stop the heating process.
WHY IS THE SMOK NORD POD 15W A SPECIAL POD E-CIGARETTE MODEL?
The reason is that this device offers much more flexible use compared to other cartridge-based - pod e-cigarette models. You can replace the coil when it wears out. Likewise, if you wish, you can switch between vaping modes. Finally, it's also possible to refill the pod cartridge with salt e-liquid. In most cartridge-based e-cigarettes, if the coil structure wears out, you have to buy a new pod (cartridge). However, with the SMOK Nord Pod 15W model, as long as the cartridge is not severely damaged, you can continue to use the device by refilling it with salt e-liquid and replacing the coil. For these reasons, the Smok Nord Pod 15W stands out as a highly successful cartridge-based e-cigarette.
HOW TO ADJUST SMOK NORD POD 15W FOR MTL (MOUTH-TO-LUNG) - DTL (DIRECT-TO-LUNG) VAPING?
The SMOK Nord Pod 15W Kit provides a standard wattage output. This value, ranging from 10-15W, is ideal for MTL vaping. However, the SMOK Nord Pod Kit can also offer DTL vaping, albeit with some limitations. All you need to do is change the coil structures included in the box. If you choose the same coils as those included in the box for your spare coil packs, you won't encounter any issues. In summary, unlike mod e-cigarette models, you cannot change the vaping mode on this device using various button combinations or adjustments. Instead, by changing the coil structure, you can automatically change the vaping mode.
WHAT TYPES OF E-LIQUIDS CAN YOU USE WITH THE SMOK NORD POD 15W?
Not only with the Smok Nord Pod 15W Kit, but with almost every pod e-cigarette model, you should use e-liquids containing a salt additive, also known as salt e-liquids. These e-liquids have a much higher nicotine content, and the vapor they produce more closely resembles cigarette smoke.
WHO SHOULD USE THE SMOK NORD POD 15W?
Those who want a practical and convenient pod e-cigarette, and those who want to benefit from the size and ease of use of pod e-cigarette models, can choose the Smok Nord 15W. The device is also ideal for those who find mod e-cigarette models complicated, as it is easy to use. Remember that the Smok Nord 15W offers an MTL (mouth-to-lung) vaping experience.
POD E-CIGARETTE OR CARTRIDGE E-CIGARETTE?
Actually, "pod e-cigarette" can be translated into our language as "cartridge e-cigarette." So, both "pod e-cigarette" and "cartridge e-cigarette" are fundamentally correct terms. The first thing to note about pod e-cigarette models is that these devices are mainly divided into two types: flexible use (where the coil structure can be changed and salt e-liquid can be refilled) and closed system pods. This means that with some pod e-cigarettes, if the cartridge wears out, you are forced to buy a new one and cannot change the coil inside.
