The Smok Novo 4 is the current Mouth To Lung sheath set from Smok.
Unless you are brand-new to vaping, you will possibly understand that Smok are, nonetheless I’m sure there will certainly be a few of you reviewing this that has no concept, so allow’s do a fast catch up.
Smok was established in 2010, which places them right at the very start of the vape sector.
Ever Since Smok has actually had big success with every type of tool, from the initial Pen design vapes, to vessels, mods, containers and also also sheath mods.
Smok has something to supply for virtually everyone, unless you like Rebuildable tools (RDA – RTA – RDTAs).
Smok is familiar with tools like the Smok Novo 4, it’s comparable precursors consist of:
Fact be informed the listing takes place, I believe there has to do with 28 in the Smok brochure a few of which are a little bit advanced than the Novo 4 (like the RPM2) and also some are a lot more standard (like the SLM).
With all that experience the Nord 4 should be respectable, ideal?
Allow’s inspect it out!
What Can We Anticipate From The Smok Novo 4?
The Smok Novo 4 actions far from the core concepts of the Novo array.
The Novo array has actually constantly been a starter array intending to be as straightforward as feasible. Nonetheless Smok just how currently done away with the dealt with coils and also the no changes plan.
Yes, the Smok Novo 4 has flexible air flow, flexible electrical power and also the vessels have compatible coils.
The Novo 4 makes use of the LP1 array which presently includes 3 coils, which all have the “3 silicone ring, leakage evidence system“.
The vessels are 2ml and also surprisingly they can be found in a ‘clear‘ black yet you can acquire entirely clear ones independently.
It has a 800mAh battery with a 0.74A USB-C battery charger, and also makes use of a tiny 0.49″ display and also a solitary switch for procedures
Inside package
I got the Requirement / U.S Version, that includes:

- 1x Novo 4 sheath
- 1x LP1 Harmonized 0.8ohm coil (preinstalled)
- 1x LP1 DC 0.8ohm coil

- 1x Handbook
Oddly, all the sets have the exact same E-liquid capability (2ml), yet Smok still determined to make the sets various.
The EU sets feature 2 x LP1 Harmonized coils (none pre-installed) and also no LP1 DC coil.

Layout & Build Top Quality
At the time of creating the Novo 4 can be found in a range of 10 colours. Passing Smok’s track record, I’m sure there will certainly be much more colours ahead.
I got the Black Supported Timber, it’s possibly my the very least favorite colour, yet I assure I won’t allow that result my reasoning of every one of the styles.
Smok Novo 4 Battery Area
The battery area of the Smok Novo 4 still takes on the spherical base form of the initial Novo 4.
Nonetheless the display, switch and also air flow modification are most definitely not from the initial Novo, as a matter of fact also the billing port remains in a various area.
Every one of the tool really feels really plastic, although I’m sure the framework (black component) is some kind of steel.
Altogether there isn’t a lot more to point out, aside from it is really smooth and also glossy.
Smok Novo 4 Display
The display on the Novo 4 is rather little, as you would certainly get out of such a tiny tool and also it lies under 3rd on the front of the tool.
It’s a 0.49″ OLED display, and also it determines at 13 x 8.5mm which uses up the whole size of the level component of the tool.
The info on the display behaves and also standard. In the leading fifty percent there is the power setup in watts, with the battery degree close to it, which presents as a bar and also a percent.
On the reduced fifty percent there is the coil resistance and also the smoke counter. While you vape the display presents a smoke timer.
The display is rather simple to see, I have never ever actually had a trouble with it also on bright days.
In straight sunlight light, you require a bit of cover, yet it’s not that poor, particularly contrasted to a few other tools.
Smok Novo 4 Switch
The switch is simply listed below the display and also it is extremely little measuring at 5x1mm and also the it just sticks out from the surface area by concerning 0.25mm, although the mod does dip somewhat around the switch.
I don’t mind solitary switch tools, if they exist to transform the tool on and also off, nonetheless that’s not all this switch does.
The solitary switch on the Smok Novo 4 is likewise utilized to alter the power.
Currently this does frustrate me, it’s instead annoying to alter the electrical power such as this, since you need to push it x quantity of times and afterwards maintain pushing the switch to change the electrical power by 0.5w.
After that if you pass by your choice, you need to maintain going and also loophole it about.
Okay, it’s not completion of the globe, yet why in the world would certainly you develop a tool so straightforward, after that placed a not so straightforward power modification on it?
Would certainly another switch simply over the existing one actually have had that much of an unfavorable result?
Smok Novo 4 Flexible Air Movement
The Smok Nord makes use of a airflow ‘dial‘ to change its air flow.
I’ve listened to a couple of individuals stating they don’t like this design of air flow yet I don’t actually mind it.
The concept behind this air flow is rather straightforward. There are 3 little openings in the front of the mod, entering into the sheath port.
After that on the front of those 3 openings is the dial. The dial has a huge victory side, so you can turn it to have the air flow completely open, completely shut or throughout between.
It’s basically the gliding or turning controls simply changed.
You might have seen a comparable Air Circulation Control design on the GeekVape Increase tools.
Case Links
Need to know what else I don’t such as? Yes, the sheath link, yet what can be so poor concerning a hull link?
Initially look it is simply an easy oblong sheath port, with the favorable and also adverse terminals within, with the opening for the draw activation sensing unit.
The important things I don’t such as concerning it, is just how the sheath keeps in. One of the most usual, and also one of the most prominent method is with magnets.
Nonetheless Smok chose the various other technique, which makes use of 2 lips to grasp onto the port.
On either side of the sheath there is a little bump that stick onto the the equivalent openings inside the sheath port.
Don’t obtain me incorrect, the sheath holds good and also safely. Nonetheless as a result of the nature of just how this job over time it will certainly hold much less safely.
I ought to include that it has actually been flawlessly great for the time I have actually been utilizing it. My problem if for the long-term, 6-12 months down the line.
Smok Novo 4 Case
The sheath is rather typical.
From all-time low we have the coil in the centre, the coil is entirely framed, so at either side of it there is 2 openings for the air flow.
The sides of the sheath are clear to permit you to conveniently see the e-liquid degree when the sheath is gotten rid of. One on of the sides there is a tiny fill opening, covered by a rubber/silicon bung.
The mouth item areas is a clear black. Which is awesome since it permits you to see when the fluid degree is beginning to run reduced.
Nonetheless, the minimum e-liquid line is covered by the mod, so the only method you can see if the sheath requires loading is by getting rid of the sheath.
Rather regular of Smok, the mouth item is created by the top of the sheath coming to be narrower. At the narrowest factor it gauge at 13 x 5mm
I rather like it, however, there isn’t lots of sheath mouth items, I have actually stated I don’t such as. It is a little bit thicker than I would certainly have anticipated however.
Smok Novo 4 – Flying Start Overview
Mounting Changing the Coil
It’s ideal to do this when the sheath is vacant, to decrease e-liquid waste.
- Eliminate the sheath from the battery area
- Holding it upside-down, draw and also eliminate the old coil
- Place a brand-new coil and also press it strongly so it is flush with all-time low of the sheath.
- Full Of e-liquid and also await 5 mins for the fluid to take in.
Loading The Case
- Eliminate the sheath from the battery area
- Situate and also life the black plug from the side of the sheath
- Load the sheath with e-liquid with the freshly subjected opening
- Reapply the plug
- If it’s a brand-new coil, leave for 5 mins prior to utilizing
Operating The Smok Novo 4
- Transform On/Off = Press the switch 5 times within 2 secs
- Establish Electrical power = press the switch either 2 or 3 times, press when to change by 0.5w or lengthy press to relocate much faster
- Begin Vaping= Merely begin drawing on the mouth item while the tool is activated.
Just How Does It Execute?
As constantly I am evaluating the Novo 4 coils out with the Got Salts Peachy Guarantee, – 50VG/50PG.
After note: I’m actually frustrated.
Package claims the LP1 Harmonized 0.8ohm Coil is pre-installed, so after a week of utilizing it, I prepare to alter the coil.
The coils do not suggest which coil it is (DC or Mesh), both are 0.8ohm and also both are suggested for 12w. For one reason or another I determined to take a look right into the coil, with the impossibly little opening.
To my complication, I discovered the cotton inside the ‘DC coil’ was a U form, which recommends it’s mesh. I obtained a light and also had a more detailed look, and also it is! My extra ‘DC Coil’ is mesh!
So I took my old ‘Mesh Coil’ out and also had a look and also it is not the Mesh Coil it’s the the DC coil, that was pre-installed.
I ought to include, frequently when we are sent out tools to evaluate, we obtain unique pre-released variations, so it is feasible that I am a one off.
Nonetheless, it is frustrating, and also I would certainly recommend you obtain a light and also look inside the pre-installed coil prior to utilizing it to inspect which coil it is (if you care).
LP1 DC 0.8ohm Coil
This coil is suggested at 12w… simply 12w.
In excellent custom we will certainly begin down reduced at 9w. Below isn’t all that poor, the flavour isn’t incredibly noticeable yet it does offer a great wonderful peach preference at the rear of the throat.
It’s okay whatsoever! The vapour manufacturing is sufficient also, supplying a slim cigarette like quantity of vapour.
12w is the advisable power setup and also although we have actually just risen 3w, you can discriminate as you vape, it has even more press.
There isn’t a lot of distinction to the flavour however, certain it heightens it a bit and also it’s nice, yet don’t anticipate a big distinction. The vapour manufacturing is likewise upped somewhat.
Up one more 3w to 15w. Below the vapour appears to be a little bit much more, completely dry.
Don’t obtain me incorrect it’s not incredibly completely dry and also un-vapable yet it does please my throat a little bit en route out.
Moreover, there isn’t actually any kind of gain from going this much over the suggested… as a matter of fact, every little thing appears a little much less.
LP1 Harmonized 0.8ohm Coil
Once again this coil is suggested at 12w, so allow’s drop it to 9w and also see what it can do.
That’s better.
The mesh coil at 9w offers a nearly ‘entire mouth‘ flavour while still considering that wonderful preference at the rear of the throat.
The vapour manufacturing is distinct yet abundant. Although it’s respectable, it is leaving me desiring a bit much more.
Approximately the suggested electrical power of 12w, we obtain a nearly best efficiency.
The vapour manufacturing is charming, thick and also smooth. While keeping a comparable amount as you would certainly obtain smoke from a cigarette.
At the same time the flavour gets on factor! It floodings the mouth with flavour like a 12w MTL coil can.
It does decrease in flavour somewhat in between smokes, yet also throughout the decrease, the flavour is still plenty sufficient.
Over and also past the suggested, at 15w the vapour does come to be a little harsher once again, yet not like it performed with the DC coil.
Nonetheless I do seem like the flavour and also vapour manufacturing reached it’s max possible concerning 12w.
Smok Novo 4 Air Movement and also Attract Activation
Frequently with draw activation tools, you locate me whining concerning the level of sensitivity of the activation sensing unit.
Nonetheless Smok has actually done a respectable task right here, it’s still delicate sufficient with the air flow completely open.
While the air flow is completely open, it is… well, it’s rather open, supplying little to no resistance for MTL, you can draw a Limited DTL draw with it.
Nonetheless, with the air flow completely switched off it offers a truly limited draw, and also it does still run fine. If you are mosting likely to utilize it with the air flow completely off, I extremely recommend you don’t transform the electrical power over 9w.
Many thanks to the design of flexible air flow you can establish the air flow to anywhere in between both.
Smok Novo 4 Battery And Also Charging
The Smok Novo 4 has a 800mAh battery, which is rather little at this phase yet it is just a tiny tool, so allows be reasonable.
Oddly the tool just take a 0.74A charge with its USB-C port… why not 0.75? Nonetheless in my experience this took around 1 hr and also 15 mins to bill.
When it’s completely billed, the length of time the battery will certainly last depends upon what power you are utilizing it.
Both coils are truly recommended at 12w, in which instance you will certainly obtain around 14 hrs of usage, if you take a 2 2nd smoke every various other min, frequently.
Undoubtedly if you transform the electrical power down, it will certainly last much longer and also visa-versa.
Does The Smok Novo 4 Drip?
This is constantly a disadvantage for vessels since also if they don’t leakage, the huge bulk still obtain the condensation accumulate.
Although I haven’t had a significant concern with leak, each time I’ve eliminate the Case from the tool it has actually been damp.
Pros
- Excellent Flavour
- Approximately 14 hr battery
- Tiny in dimension
- Excellent Flexible air flow
Disadvantages
- None Magnetic sheath link
- 1 switch electrical power modification
- not leakage totally free
Last Testimonial Judgment
As a customer I’m not rather certain just how I really feel concerning the tool and also I’m not completely certain that the target market is.
If I’m truthful I believe the display and also flexible electrical power is definitely meaningless, a little bit like a bog typical calculator having a big memory storage space.
Since [at this time] there are just 2 coils readily available and also they both have actually a suggested electrical power of 12w.
EDIT: no way sorry, there is a third coil you can by independently that goes for 15w.
Yet I mean if you remove those you are entrusted … well you’re entrusted the initial Novo…. which is a really pleasant starter tool since it’s incredibly simple.
So currently we need to ask that it benefits.
It is excellent as a bog typical MTL tool so it’s good for brand-new vapers (those aiming to leave the cigarettes), yet the procedure of transforming the electrical power isn’t the easiest, although it’s not difficult and also it’s unimportant.
I would certainly claim it want a larger battery, yet after that the tool would certainly be larger and afterwards it would certainly coincide as the Smok Nord 4…
This is the issue I am having, I don’t see an area for the Smok Novo 4 out there.
If you can over look the downsides over, and also the possible wear to the sheath link, after that I mean it is a respectable sheath set.
Would Certainly it remain in my leading 5 beginning set referrals? No. What concerning leading 10 MTL tools? No.
Okay, allow’s attract it in a bit, I’ve played it down much excessive.
It does generate an excellent flavour and also an excellent MTL quantity of vapour….
Are you utilizing the Smok Novo 4 sheath set?
Allow me understand your ideas and also viewpoints in the remarks listed below…
By The Way, in Latin ‘Novo‘ can mean ‘New‘…sadly there’s absolutely nothing brand-new concerning this sheath set…
