How Long Will It Take to Charge My SMOK Nord 5?

The USB-C cable supplied with the Nord 5 allows you to achieve a full charge in 1 hour and 40 minutes.

Can I Use a Different Charger to Charge My SMOK Nord 5?

Not unless you want to damage your new device! We strongly advise you to use only the charger supplied with your Nord 5, which was designed to work with it. Users who try to charge their device faster by using a charger with higher voltage run the risk of overheating sensitive electronic components within the device, which can make it less efficient or break it entirely.

How Long Does a Full Battery Last on the SMOK Nord 5?

2000 mAh is a lot of juice, but the Nord 5 is also a variable wattage device with a maximum output of 80W, so the length of time your battery lasts will depend on your specific usage habits. Setting the output to 25W or 30W while using a restricted DTL style should allow a full battery to last nearly an entire day, but other vaping styles and output settings will have different outcomes.

How Do I Use the Controls on the Smok Nord 5?

The Nord 5’s built-in controls make it easy to turn the device on and off, lock or unlock it, and adjust the wattage. Here’s an overview of how to use them:

Power on/off: press the fire button 5 times in quick succession
Lock/unlock: press both adjustment buttons at the same time
Adjust wattage: press one of the wattage buttons (up or down)
Clear puff count: press fire and either of the adjustment buttons at the same time

How Does the LED Indicator on the Nord 5 Work?

Like other devices in the Nord series, the LED indicator light on the Nord 5 glows different colours to tell you how much of a charge the battery is holding:

Green light: ≥70% charge
Orange light: 30–70% charge
Red light: ≤30% charge or less

How Does the Nord 5’s Stepless Airflow Control Feature Work?

The Nord 5 has a built-in slider you can use to adjust your airflow intuitively. Just drag the slider back and forth to increase or decrease the air flowing through the mouthpiece from the dual air inlets on each side—which provide better atomization and allow heat to dissipate more effectively.

What Is the Nord 5’s New Coil Lock Design?

The coil lock on the Nord 5’s pod allows it to hold the coil inside tightly, which helps reduce the risk of leaking during use. However, misusing your Nord 5 can still create a leak, so be sure to follow the tips below:

Draw gently: drawing too hard on your Nord 5 won’t improve your experience—if anything, it will just cause liquid that hasn’t had a chance to vapourize yet to enter the mouthpiece.
Don’t overfill: many leaks in pod systems are caused by trying to put too much e-liquid in the pod. Try filling yours up to around 80% instead.

How Can I Make My Nord 5 Coils Last Longer?

Prevent your device’s coils from burning out too soon by:

Priming the coils: coils burn out prematurely if you don’t let e-liquid time soak the wick enough. Once you fill the pod and pop in your coil, wait 5-10 minutes to make sure the wick is saturated.
Avoid sweet e-liquid: sweet e-liquids leave burnt sugar behind as residue called coil gunk, which can make your device taste bad and render the coil useless.
Vape slowly: taking numerous draws in quick succession is called chain vaping, which can overheat your coils and make them burn out too fast. Keep your draws short and gentle, and leave at least 5 seconds or so between hits.
