SMOK NORD 5 80W Pod System Review
The SMOK Nord 5 80W Pod System is a compact pod mod with a 2000mAh battery. It fires RPM 3 mesh coils from 5W to 80W in a 5ml side-fill pod. A slider sets the airflow, a 0.69-inch screen shows your settings, and the 0.15Ω and 0.23Ω coils both come in the box. See more from SMOK or compare other pod systems.

Nord 5 RPM 3 Coils and Wattage
The Nord 5 takes RPM 3 coils, and both come in the box. SMOK rates them like this:
| Coil | SMOK rating |
|---|---|
| RPM 3 0.15Ω mesh | 40–80W |
| RPM 3 0.23Ω mesh | 20–45W |
One review found both coils did best at the low end of their ranges. We sell RPM 3 coils and Nord 5 pods. Our SMOK coil compatibility guide shows which coils fit each SMOK tank and pod kit.
How to Set Up the Nord 5
- Charge it: plug in the USB-C cable from the box.
- Fit a coil: push an RPM 3 coil into the base of the pod until it sits flush.
- Fill and wait: open the silicone plug on the side, fill the pod and give the coil 5 minutes to soak.
- Turn it on: press the fire button five times.
- Set the power: start at the low end of your coil’s range.
Who the Nord 5 Is For
The SMOK Nord 5 suits vapers who want a compact pod mod with up to 80W, adjustable airflow and replaceable mesh coils. For a bigger 2500mAh battery on the same RPM 3 coils, see the Nord GT.
Good to know: One review found the fire button easy to set off, or unlock, in a pocket. Press it five times to turn the Nord 5 off before it goes in a pocket.
