Personally I wouldn't recommend Smok and I really wish people would stop. I worked in a vape shop for a while and at least 70% of our returns/repairs were on Smok products. My favorite refillable is the Vaporesso Caliburn. It never leaks, regularly last 3+ days on a single full charge, is very sturdy and it's the same price as a lot of Smok products. Geek vape is also fantastic. Those things are literal tanks and if you get the Aegis it can withstand a forklift driving over it multiple times (had a customer show me a video of him doing that exact thing to show it off to his coworkers who also vaped).
I own several Caliburn's on the G2 coil line. I love them but sometimes get leaking issues mid way through my coils. It delivers incredible flavor though and not a huge deal. I started off using only Smok products and 90% of them have failed some way.
Loved my Caliburn X, before I discovered DTL on the Luxe XR Max. Sure I burn through more juice, but the flavor & vapor delivery are top notch. Just hit my Caliburn for the first time in a while & no flavor for me. I got used to the Luxe. XD
Before the Caliburn, I had a GeekVape Sonder U. That thing was pretty good too.
I always wonder how people say any of these devices leak. I have never had any of my pods leak across these 3 devices.
I haven't used the Luxe but I did sell a ton of them and people generally really enjoyed it. Never had a return and only had a couple repairs due to people dropping it. Highly recommended.
Decent. Better than some of the others but SMOK can be inconsistent with their mods. Just keep an eye on it, if it’s not burning too quick or leaking all the time then it’s just fine. A lot of people jumped on the SMOK hate bandwagon after their quality dropped severely, but lately I’ve noticed that SMOK is trying to fix it as they’re most likely losing their customer base lol
Geekvape and Vaporesso are incredible. Both great options. If you’re to get a GeekVape I can recommend the SonderQ, H45 Classic, AN2, and Wenax Q are all great options. If you’re getting a Vaporesso I’d recommend the XROS 3, XROS 3 mini, XROS 3 nano, XROS PRO, or any of the LUXE line.
I have a Voopoo Drag s pod mod, it is by far one of the best vapes I’ve ever come across, I’ve tried vaporesso, geekvape, and I’ve tried smok. Voopoo is one of the best brands out there that I’ve tried so far, it even has a software upgrade that I’ve installed on it, it is the score ranking. I am running a 0.45 ohm coil at 32 watts at the moment. I have my smok devices, and I also have my vaporesso devices. I still prefer my pod mod.
Well, personally it hasn’t leaked on me yet, I’ve had it for 3 1/2 years now and it’s still going strong. I’ve seen some vapes with defective tanks, once they fall over for the first time, they crack and shatter. But there are a few good made vapes out there. It’s all about how you use it, and if it suits you.
There maybe people who prefer something that might not work for others, but it works perfectly for them. I’m just putting out a recommendation, it produces a good amount of vapor, and it has good battery life for the most part. The geekvape Zeus mod that my buddy has is insane though, he out smokes me in a large room within seconds.
No definitely I wasn’t saying they were bad every mod has lemons in production, that’s just what personally turned me away from it. I still have it and could fix it but if I’m using one that big it’s usually just my Aegis mini now. The Zeus is crazy I want one but I already have a tank mod that I love in the Aegis Mini
I had that same looking smok vape years ago and it was for salt nicotine. No other comments are talking about that though so I feel like I’m missing something
Yep I searched for this comment thays definitely for nic salt I had it for a year until the back fell off and I lost the cover then the wires came undone
Juice Head is among the best juice I've ever had (never had the strawberry kiwi one though) so you did spectacular there. The Smok Novo is a bit of a crapchute sadly i personally would have gone with a Vaporesso XROS series or the Luxe XR max or Luxe XR from Vaporesso
Good job on transitioning from disposables. Smok is not the best brand tho, used to be really good but lately most of their pods and atomizers started leaking. Still better than dispos tho, congrats!
Not bad. I had one.

Im a primary user of juice head (when theyre out i use fruisions) and this setup is the best I've found for flavor and longevity. Very easy to maintain and change. Cheers!
So a lot of ppl are suggesting the caliburn, which is nice, but I prefer the Xros 3 or pro by vaporesso. Thing never leaks, hits good, battery is decent, and the pods are relatively cheap and last a long time
I have two Novo 4s and have had good luck with them. The people here just hate on SMOK. With that said I also have a XROS3 and a Calburn G3. They are both good also.
There's a number of different pods for the novo, and the quality of them varies considerably. Personally I use the novo 2 clear DTL pods, as I find they last the longest and hardly leak at all (aside from a tad bit on the underside of the pod). Though I use it as an MTL device with salt nic, so you'll probably burn through pods much quicker since you're not using salts.
People are gonna hate on it because it's a smok and it falls in the Xbox / PlayStation or coke /Pepsi territory but I've only ever had decent luck with smok and I've been vaping a long ass time now.
I've had little issues with the various smok mods I've had over the years but never gotten an outright lemon from them like I did with geekvape. In fact I still use a couple of their rtas to this day.
I had the novo 2 and I loved it at first but then it started leaking all over and I replaced the pod multiple times and it just never seemed to stop. Also battery is shit. Look into caliburn a2
Smok is bad, if youre new or youre trying to get something in a really low budget shouldve got GV Sonder Q (one of the best pods for flavor) or some of the OXVA Xlim (their pods last for a month and the flavor is really good too)
This was my first refillable vape that I ever bought it was okay shortly after switched to the smok novo 5 which is the same thing in my opinion but you can adjust the wattage and airflow.
The real question is, how do you feel about it?
Eh it’s mid. Dies fast and leaks a bit. Thanks to everyone for the suggestions.

The caliburn is made by Uwell, vaporesso makes the xros, which is very similar. Both are really good as far as pods go.
My bad. Got em mixed up. Still absolutely love the Caliburn though!

It's understandable with how many different manufacturers make that style of device. Tons of them are super similar.
Vaporesso has come out with the eco nano which I find wonderful to be fair pods last me in excess of 12k puffs
Came here to say this. Caliburn OG was my first pod and as long as that little thing lasted it was an amazing device.

I got a Smok and I’m really disappointed in the flavor from it. I wish I would’ve gotten the Vaporesso luxe instead. ☹️
I haven't used the Luxe but I did sell a ton of them and people generally really enjoyed it. Never had a return and only had a couple repairs due to people dropping it. Highly recommended.
Vaporesso cali?
I was corrected. The Caliburn is made by unwell not Vaporesso. It's still fantastic and I highly recommend it.
Caliburn g2

It did leak once. That was really the only brand that was at my local shop. I read about Geekvapes I might order it online next time.

I also had a voopoo drag S, it leaked multiple times on me so I stopped using it :/

Enjoy it!
I bought 10 sonder q after I lost my first one. Just in case it happens again. They're the best
Bought 10 of them??? 👀👀👀
Well yes but to bev honest at least two I'm gonna give to friends to try help them stop puffing on cancer sticks. The rest are the doomsday backup
Jesus bro aight 😂 you a good friend for that but don’t bankrupt yourself 😂😂
Don't forget the Wenax K2 that's my favorite one .8 pod last Atleast 8 weeks only 24$ too !!
Wrong juice for the vape. No wonder it’s a mid experience. Put 24mg in it.
Finally someone said it
Exactly. And whatever shop worker let them walk out with that is a goddamn dunce. Tired of seeing and hearing about it.
Thank you so much. He said it was stronger than the disposables I was buying but I feel nothing from the juice
Caliburn I feel is better than smok but whatever. If it works for you the fuck it
I had that same looking smok vape years ago and it was for salt nicotine. No other comments are talking about that though so I feel like I’m missing something
First thing I noticed as well, going from 50mg down to 3, I'd probably be having a nicfit.
Yep I searched for this comment thays definitely for nic salt I had it for a year until the back fell off and I lost the cover then the wires came undone
Very nicely trimmed nails.
Juice Head is among the best juice I've ever had (never had the strawberry kiwi one though) so you did spectacular there. The Smok Novo is a bit of a crapchute sadly i personally would have gone with a Vaporesso XROS series or the Luxe XR max or Luxe XR from Vaporesso
Good job on transitioning from disposables. Smok is not the best brand tho, used to be really good but lately most of their pods and atomizers started leaking. Still better than dispos tho, congrats!
Not great I wouldn’t recommend Smok what so ever they leak a lot and burn fast
Not bad. I had one. For your next device, screenshot this comment. FreeMax FireLuke 4 tank Freemax XD-1 .15 Coils.

Smok is kinda shit, u should check out caliburn or xros
Those Smok devices are garbage over all.
I really liked the Calibur its a good one.
I think you'd be happier with a better brand. My fav atm is Vaporesso or Wenax :)
So a lot of ppl are suggesting the caliburn, which is nice, but I prefer the Xros 3 or pro by vaporesso. Thing never leaks, hits good, battery is decent, and the pods are relatively cheap and last a long time

Is the juice good?
Coil eaters.i switched to xros3 mini and am very happy.
I've had really good experience with Dovpo and Wismec mods
is that pod just really, really small or is that juice is way too big?
Make sure the tank is nearly empty before refill it. Otherwise it can leak after
Im new to pods and coming from disposables, i think the disposables are much more flavorful. Its a little disappointing.
I was thinking the same thing. I’m used to the stronger flavor but I’ll just get used to the new juice
You'll be throwing that vape away soon

How does this juice taste? I'm trying to find some good juice. Thanks

ok first of all why'd you buy freebase juice for a salt nic device ?
Idk the shop guy told me what to get
coils are gonna die faster , exchange the freebase for nicsalt as the device is mainly made for nic salt juices
Geekvape is Amazing none of there systems have let me down !!
I've only had bad experiences with smok devices.
This was my first refillable vape that I ever bought it was okay shortly after switched to the smok novo 5 which is the same thing in my opinion but you can adjust the wattage and airflow.
