Beginner Questions About the SMOK Novo 4, Novo 5, and Novo Master
The SMOK Novo 4, Novo 5, and Novo Master take three distinct approaches to the compact refillable pod kit. Novo 4 combines replaceable LP1 coils with a small screen and straightforward wattage adjustment. Novo 5 increases the available power, adds a larger display, and supports both manual firing and inhale sensing. Novo Master uses dual power modes, stepless airflow control, and a colour-changing battery indicator. The choice comes down to coil format, battery capacity, and how much control you want over each puff.
What separates the Novo 4, Novo 5 and Novo Master?
Each model uses a 2.0mL refillable pod and provides adjustable airflow, but the controls differ. Novo 4 operates from 5W to 25W and changes power in five-watt steps. Novo 5 runs from 5W to 30W, with separate firing and adjustment controls, plus switchable draw sensing. Novo Master reaches 30W through two selectable power modes rather than a numerical screen menu. Within the wider family of SMOK devices, the Novo name covers portable refillable pod systems, while the brand also produces box mods, tanks and other pod ranges.
How do their batteries and charging systems compare?
The three built-in batteries have different capacities, and every kit recharges through a Type-C connection:
- The SMOK Novo 4 has an 800mAh battery and Type-C fast charging.
- The SMOK Novo 5 uses a 900mAh battery and takes about an hour to charge fully.
- The SMOK Novo Master has a 1000mAh battery and an LED that changes color to show the remaining charge.
Battery capacity is only part of the decision. Novo 5 shows detailed battery information on its screen, while Novo Master uses a simpler LED indicator.
Which pods and coils do these kits use?
Novo 4 uses a side-filling 2.0mL pod built for replaceable LP1 coils. Its supplied pod comes fitted with a 0.8 ohm LP1 mesh coil, and the kit also includes a separate 0.8 ohm LP1 DC MTL coil. This setup lets you swap the coil independently of the pod.
Novo 5 accepts 2.0mL refillable pods via a magnetic connection, and the kit includes a 0.7 ohm MTL pod. Novo Master also has a 2.0mL capacity and works with the Novo pod series. For replacement parts, match the pod to the specific device rather than assuming an LP1 coil fits every Novo model.
How much airflow and power control does each kit offer?
Novo 4 has an air inlet ring with three small openings at the front. Turning the adjustment dial changes airflow, while the multifunction control moves from 5W to 25W in 5W increments.
Novo 5 pairs a front airflow dial with a variable output from 5W to 30W. Its settings support both mouth-to-lung and direct-to-lung puffs. Novo Master also reaches 30W, but it uses two power modes and stepless airflow adjustment. You can tune the airflow for a tight mouth-to-lung draw or open it for a looser direct-to-lung inhale.
What information do the screens and indicators provide?
Novo 4 has a 0.49-inch OLED screen that presents operating information in a compact format. Novo 5 uses a larger 0.69-inch OLED display that shows battery level, selected wattage, coil resistance, and puff count. Five consecutive presses of its firing control switch the device on, while three presses enable or disable inhale activation.
Novo Master takes a less menu-focused approach. Its LED indicator changes color based on the remaining battery level, so you can monitor charge without navigating an on-screen interface.
What comes with the Novo 4 kit?
The Novo 4 kit includes the main device and a 2.0mL pod already equipped with a 0.8 ohm LP1 mesh coil. It also includes a spare 0.8 ohm LP1 DC MTL coil. The kit includes a Type-C charging cable and printed operating instructions.
Which SMOK Novo kit should a beginner choose?
Novo 4 suits someone who wants separately replaceable LP1 coils, a compact OLED display, and simple power changes. Its zinc alloy body weighs 51.2g, making it lightweight for everyday carry.
Novo 5 targets users who want more information and finer control. It combines a detailed screen, adjustable output up to 30W, a front airflow dial, manual firing, and switchable inhale sensing.
Novo Master keeps everyday operation more direct. Its 1000mAh battery, dual power modes, stepless airflow, and color-changing LED provide useful adjustment without relying on a detailed display. Choose between replaceable LP1 coils, screen-based control, or a simpler two-mode interface, then select the model that matches your preference.
