Smok Novo 4 Pod Kit

The Smok Novo series is one of the most recognisable and trusted pod system families in the history of vaping. With the Novo 4, Smok has taken everything that made its predecessors beloved – compact size, reliability, and ease of use – and added two game-changing features: adjustable wattage (5W to 25W) and adjustable dual airflow. From a wholesale perspective, these upgrades dramatically broaden the device’s appeal. The Novo 4 now serves both the entry-level customer who wants a simple, automatic draw device and the intermediate vaper who craves customisation. This dual-market positioning means faster inventory turnover for your retail locations.

One of the most significant wholesale advantages of the Novo 4 is its proprietary LP1 Coil ecosystem. Unlike universal coil systems that allow customers to purchase from competitors, the LP1 coils (available in 0.8Ω, 0.9Ω, and 1.2Ω) fit only the Novo 4 and its direct replacements. Each Novo 4 kit sold at Vaping Supplier becomes a recurring revenue engine. Our B2B sales data indicates that Novo 4 owners purchase an average of 4 to 5 coil five-packs annually, plus 2 to 3 replacement pods. This consumables attach rate translates to stable, predictable income for your business long after the initial hardware sale.

The device itself is engineered to minimise costly returns and warranty claims. The 800mAh integrated battery is sufficient for a full day of mouth-to-lung (MTL) vaping, eliminating the “battery died too quickly” complaints common with smaller-capacity devices. The dual activation system – offering both automatic draw (inhale to vape) and manual fire button operation – provides redundancy. If one activation method fails (rare), the other continues to function. The top-fill silicone valve is one of the most leak-resistant designs in the pod category, directly reducing in-store mess during demonstrations and customer frustration post-purchase.

For retailers looking to maximise point-of-sale impact, the Novo 4’s eleven distinct colour finishes offer exceptional visual merchandising opportunities. From the exotic reptilian textures of the Cobra series to the genuine wood veneers of the Stablizing Wood range, and from the technical carbon fiber weaves to the psychedelic Fluid 7-Color swirl, there is a Novo 4 for every customer demographic. We recommend displaying multiple colour variants together – customers often purchase two or three different finishes as backups or gifts.

Features 

• 25W Adjustable Output (5W to 25W): Variable wattage in 0.5W increments. Broad customer appeal – suitable for both MTL beginners and RDTL enthusiasts. Reduces the likelihood of “not powerful enough” returns.

• 800mAh Integrated Battery: Lithium-polymer cell. Provides full-day usage for average vapers. USB-C fast charging (60 minutes to full). No external battery sales required – simpler customer experience.

• LP1 Coil Series: Proprietary three-coil ecosystem. Available wholesale in 5-packs:

How to Use 

Use the following step-by-step guide to train your retail staff so they can confidently assist customers. Consider printing this as a shelf talker or quick-reference card.

Initial Setup

1. Unbox and Inspect: Remove the device from the packaging. Check the transparent window on the pod for any cracks. Ensure the battery contacts are clean.

2. Remove and Disassemble Pod: Pull the pod upward to detach it from the magnetic connection. Locate the coil at the bottom of the pod.

3. Remove Pre-Installed Coil: Pull the 0.8Ω coil straight out (it is press-fit, not threaded). Set it aside.

4. Prime the Chosen Coil:

   • If using the pre-installed 0.8Ω coil: Apply 3 drops of e-liquid directly onto the exposed cotton visible through the mesh openings. Also place 1 drop down the centre of the coil.

   • If using the spare 1.2Ω coil: Repeat the same priming process.

5. Reinstall the Coil: Push the primed coil firmly into the bottom of the pod until it seats completely flush. You should feel a soft click.

6. Fill the Pod:

   • Locate the silicone stopper on the top edge of the pod (not the mouthpiece).

   • Flip the stopper open using your fingernail.

   • Insert your e-liquid bottle nozzle into the fill port.

   • Fill until the liquid level reaches approximately 2ml – do not overfill the central chimney.

   • Close the silicone stopper firmly. You should hear it click into place.

7. Prime the Coil (Wait Period): Allow the filled pod to sit upright for 5 to 10 minutes. This is critical. The cotton must become fully saturated before the first use. Skipping this step will burn the coil immediately.

8. Attach the Pod: Insert the pod into the Novo 4 battery. The magnets will pull it into place. Ensure the pod is seated flush with the device.

Daily Use

9. Power On the Device: Click the fire button (the large front button) five times rapidly. The OLED screen will illuminate, showing wattage, resistance, puff count, and battery icon.

10. Set the Wattage (Adjustable 5W-25W):

    • Press the fire button three times rapidly to enter wattage adjustment mode. The wattage number will flash.

    • Press the fire button repeatedly to cycle through wattage values in 0.5W increments.

    • Stop at your desired wattage. Wait 3 seconds – the screen will stop flashing and lock your selection.

    • Recommended starting points:

      • 0.8Ω coil: Start at 16W. Increase by 2W increments until satisfied (max 25W).

      • 1.2Ω coil: Start at 8W. Increase by 1W increments until satisfied (max 12W).

11. Set the Airflow:

    • Locate the sliding switch on the side of the pod (near the bottom).

    • Slide toward the mouthpiece (up) = tighter draw (MTL).

    • Slide away from the mouthpiece (down) = airier draw (RDTL).

    • Start in the middle position and adjust to preference.

12. Vaping – Two Methods:

    • Method 1 (Auto Draw): Simply inhale from the mouthpiece. No button press required. The device activates automatically. This is the default method.

    • Method 2 (Button Activation): Press and hold the fire button while inhaling. Release the button just before you finish your inhale to clear residual vapour.

13. Monitor Battery Life:

    • Check the OLED screen battery icon or observe the LED ring around the fire button:

      • Green: 70-100% battery remaining.

      • Orange: 30-70% battery remaining.

      • Red: <30% battery remaining. Charge soon.

    • When the battery is critically low, the device will stop firing. Connect to USB-C.

14. Charging:

    • Connect the USB-C cable to the port on the bottom of the device.

    • Connect the other end to a standard 5V/1A USB wall adapter (do not use fast chargers over 5V/2A).

    • The LED ring will glow red during charging.

    • When fully charged (approximately 60 minutes), the LED will turn off.

    • The device supports pass-through vaping – you can use it while charging, though this slightly increases charge time.

Maintenance and Coil Replacement

15. When to Change the Coil: (Instruct customers to look for these signs)

    • Muted or significantly reduced flavour.

    • A burnt, dry, or bitter taste when inhaling.

    • Reduced vapour production.

    • Gurgling sounds or spit-back (liquid in mouth).

    • Typical coil lifespan: 7 to 14 days depending on e-liquid sweetness and frequency of use.

16. How to Change the Coil:

    • Remove the pod from the battery.

    • Pull out the old coil (it may be tight – this is normal).

    • Dispose of the old coil responsibly.

    • Prime a new LP1 coil as described in steps 4-5.

    • Refill the pod if necessary.

    • Wait 5 minutes for the new coil to saturate before vaping.

17. Cleaning the Device:

    • Use a dry cotton swab or slightly damp microfibre cloth to wipe the magnetic contacts on both the pod and the battery.

    • Clean the small auto-draw sensor hole inside the battery cavity gently.

    • Perform cleaning every 1-2 weeks to maintain optimal performance.

FAQ’s

Q: What is the expected shelf life of the Novo 4 kit in retail storage?

A: The Novo 4 device (battery unit) has an indefinite shelf life when stored in a cool, dry environment (15°C to 25°C) at approximately 50% charge. The included LP1 coils contain cotton that can degrade after 24 months if stored in humid conditions (above 60% relative humidity). We recommend stock rotation within 18 months of receipt. Replacement pods (empty plastic) have a shelf life of 3+ years.

Q: Are returns accepted for defective Novo 4 units?

A: Yes, Vaping Supplier accepts wholesale returns for manufacturer defects under the following terms:

• Within 7 days of invoice: Full credit or replacement for DOA (dead on arrival) units or units with clear manufacturing defects (e.g., screen not working, battery not charging, auto draw sensor dead).

• After 7 days up to 6 months: End users must contact Smok directly for warranty claims, or your store may handle the warranty exchange and claim credit from Smok. Vaping Supplier does not accept returns for cosmetic damage, liquid damage (e-liquid inside the battery compartment), user error (dropping, using incorrect coils), or normal wear and tear.

• Proof of purchase is required for all returns.

Q: Which e-liquids should we recommend to customers to minimise complaints?

A: Provide the following clear guidelines to your retail staff to share with customers:

• For the 1.2Ω coil (8-12W): Recommend 50% VG / 50% PG nicotine salts (10mg-20mg) or 50/50 freebase nicotine. This coil is designed for tight MTL vaping.

• For the 0.8Ω coil (16-25W): Recommend 60% VG / 40% PG or 70% VG / 30% PG freebase nicotine (3mg-12mg). Avoid nicotine salts above 12mg as they will be too harsh at 20W.

• Do NOT recommend: 80% VG or higher liquids (too thick – causes dry hits), 70% PG or higher liquids (too thin – causes leaking), or high-concentration nicotine salts (20mg+) with the 0.8Ω coil.

• Warning about sweet e-liquids: Inform customers that very sweet liquids (candy, dessert, cereal flavours) will reduce coil life by 30-50%. A coil that lasts 14 days with a clean fruit flavour may last only 5-7 days with a heavily sweetened custard.

Q: How many replacement coils does the average Novo 4 customer purchase per year?

A: Based on our aggregated B2B sales data across 200+ retail accounts:

• Light user (5ml of e-liquid per week): 2-3 five-packs per year (10-15 coils).

• Moderate user (10ml per week): 4-5 five-packs per year (20-25 coils).

• Heavy user (15ml+ per week): 6-8 five-packs per year (30-40 coils).
  We recommend your staff ask customers about their e-liquid consumption to suggest appropriate coil quantities. A standard recommendation is: “You’ll need a new coil every 7-10 days on average. A five-pack will last you about two months.”

Q: Is the Novo 4 compatible with Novo 2 or Novo 3 pods or coils?

A: Absolutely not. This is the most common compatibility error leading to returns. Train your staff to state this clearly: “The Novo 4 uses Novo 4-specific pods and LP1 coils only. Original Novo, Novo 2, and Novo 3 pods and coils will not fit and may damage the device.” We recommend displaying a physical sign on your Novo 4 display case. Vaping Supplier sells LP1 coils and Novo 4 replacement pods as separate wholesale SKUs – ensure customers purchase the correct items.

Q: Can retailers display a non-functional demo Novo 4 unit?

A: Yes. We recommend ordering one additional unit per store location as a dedicated display model. To prepare a demo unit:

• Remove the pod completely (store it separately).

• Insert a piece of cardboard or a dead (0V) 18650 battery is not applicable – the Novo 4 has an integrated battery, so simply keep the demo unit charged.

• Secure the device to a lockable display stand or use a security cable through the lanyard hole.

• The OLED screen can be activated (press fire button 5 times) to demonstrate the menu system and wattage adjustment without a coil installed.

• Clean the display unit weekly with a microfibre cloth to maintain appearance.

• Do not allow customers to test vape from the display unit due to hygiene and legal restrictions.

Q: What is the typical profit margin for retailers stocking the Novo 4?

A: While we cannot provide exact figures due to variable retail pricing, the Novo 4 typically generates a 40-55% gross margin at the manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP)
