SMOK Novo 4
SMOK Novo 4 is a pod system that delivers everything you want it to and more. Just like the previous Novo’s the Novo 4 pod has a 2mL vape juice capacity, but coils are replaceable. Once you start to lose flavor and cloud size switch to another coil. There are two coils included in the kit from a new range, LP1 coils.
The 0.8 Ohm LP1 Meshed coil generates a richer tasty flavor firing 12W and you only get one in the kit. However there are two other coil options available separately. The 1.0 Ohm LP1 DC MTL coil is designed to produce a stronger throat hit and is best between 10-25W, there is also a 0.8 Ohm LP1 coil option. As you might expect wattage on the Novo 4 features adjustable wattage so that you can find the perfect vape for your vaping taste.Coil resistance is automatically detected and settings are adjusted to the optimal level, a few rapid clicks enters you into wattage adjustment mode. All your vaping data is displayed on the 0.49 inch OLED display.The pod you get in the SMOK Novo 4 kit is a translucent black pod but you can also buy a completely clear pod if you are struggling to monitor your vape juice levels.One of the most loved features on the Novo 4, and one most other pod systems don’t have, is an adjustable airflow inlet. Now you can scroll through the different sized slots to dial in the perfect airflow.The 800mAh integrated battery can be charged in just 90mins thanks to the Type-C USB 0.74A fast charging port on the bottom. If you want a super versatile, easy to use, highly portable vape then the SMOK Novo 4 is perfect for you.
Recently it has been announced that there is a new version, SMOK Novo 2S. The charging port has been replaced by USB Type-C for faster charging and pods have been redesigned. Now the pods are clear which allows you to monitor vape juice levels even easier. Inside the pod is a 0.9 Ohm Mesh coil which is designed to provide the maximum amount of flavor and an unrivalled mouth to lung vaping experience.
Vaptio Beco Mesh Disposable Vape
King of the disposables the Vaptio Beco Mesh packs a whopping 5.5mL of vape juice and a 1000mAh battery. Vaping couldn’t be easier than with a disposable, no refilling, no charging, no settings, just vape. Each Beco Mesh is good for around 2200 vapes so despite being disposable it lasts plenty of time.
Each is packed with 50mg of super satisfying 50mg nic salt and it comes in seven delicious flavours to choose from. A small, sleek design means it is easy to keep in your pocket or bag, ready for whenever you need it.
If you are looking for an easy to use, hassle free vaping experience then the Vaptio Beco Mesh Disposable is the vape for you.
Vaporesso Sky Solo Vape Pen
When it comes to the best vape pen right now there can only really be one winner. Vaporesso Sky Solo is currently our best selling vape pen in our online store and it’s easy to understand why.
Vaporesso not only manufacture the highest quality devices they also make some of the most loved coils in the industry. Inside the Vaporesso NRG tank you get to enjoy the incredible GT Meshed coil 0.18Ω which is perfect for creating huge flavorsome clouds.
As good as the GT coils included in the kit are there are also GT CCELL, GT1 and GT8 coils to try out (sold seperately). Thanks to the bubble glass on the tank the Sky Solo can accommodate up to 3.7mL of vape juice. To refill you unscrew and lift off the top which reveals the large fill slot.
Around the firing key is an LED strip which is multi functional. When charging the LED will be red, when green it’s fully charged the impressive 1400mAh battery. It also indicated how much charge remains in the battery when vaping. Red is low, medium is blue and green high.
The main reason why the Sky Solo makes our list as the best vape pen right now is how easy it is to use. No screen to worry about, not settings, just fill it (wait 5-10mins) and vape. That doesn’t mean this is just for beginner vapers, the performance of the Sky Solo is so good it’s a great vape pen for everyone.
Vaporesso Swag PX80
One of the most innovative box mod kits in years. An 80W single 18650 box mod kit which is also a pod system. With the kit you get two GTX mesh coils, a 0.2 Ohm and 0.3 Ohm. Vaporesso‘s GTX coils are some of the most loved coils in the industry. Also compatible are the following GTX coils, RBA, 0.15 Ohm Mesh, 1.2 Ohm Mesh, 0.8 Ohm Mesh and a 0.6Ohm mesh. Quite the range to try out.
Vaporesso Swag features innovation on both the tank and mod. The Swag PX80 Pod tank has a vape juice 4mL capacity but the innovative coil locking mechanism is where things start to get really interesting. The drip tip acts effectively as a lock for the coil. Spin to the unlock position and push down on the drip tip to remove the coil.
As you push down the drip tip blocks off the airflow holes and keeps your vape juice fully contained, leakfree. So now you can change coils in a leak free/hassle free way, even with a full tank. Once you have locked the coil in place you replace the pod onto the mod which is held in place by magnets. The adjustable airflow is as easy as simply rotating the pod.
Swag PX80 box mod is a thing of beauty whatever color option you choose. On the top, opposite the pod is the knurled top cap for the 18650 battery (which is not included in the kit).
Despite all this innovation the coolest feature on the Swag PX80 has to be the stealthed in screen. When the device is not on you wouldn’t know it actually even had a screen. Once turned on the screen shines through the carbon fibre finish.
There are three modes to choose from, Variable Wattage, Variable Voltage and Smart VW. This will detect coil resistance and set the wattage to the recommended settings.
Also included are a puff counter and the choice of 3 color schemes, green, blue or pink.
Vaporesso Gen S Mod
When vapers first got their hands on the Vaporesso Gen S they couldn’t believe how nice it felt in the hand, we couldn’t either. The soft rubberised coating feels amazing and it’s covered in small dimples which makes it really grippy when holding. However, that doesn’t stop it from easily sliding into your pocket. The rubber coating is breathable, fingerprint free and lives on top of 4 layers of metal spray which is wear proof.
Inside the Gen S is the incredible AXON Chipset which offers a wide range of excellent features. Unique to Vaporesso is pulse mode which fires every 0.2s to deliver an amazing (27%) flavor the whole time you’re firing it.
Power Eco mode is a mode for when you need your batteries to last longer. A DIY mode lets you take full control of your vaping, perfect for experienced vapers. Also featured is a SMART TC which provides accurate temperature control. Thanks to the smart AXON chipset your Gen S will automatically detect the resistance of the coil and tank you add to it.
Powered by two 18650 batteries (sold seperately, not included in the kit) which can be 2.5A fast charged (fully charged in 60minutes). While we always recommend using an external charger this is a handy feature to have.
