If you go to a vape shop (online or offline), on its shelves you can see less and less traditional box mods/tubes/drips, and more and more POD systems and sub-mods. This is due to the fact that many vapers give preference to small sub-mods, which have good autonomy and practicality, while at the same time pleasing with good flavor delivery and bulk. One of the undisputed leaders in the production of sub-mods can be confidently considered the company Smok, whose range includes more than two (or maybe even three) dozens of devices of this format. But the imagination of its developers has no limit, so new devices are presented with enviable regularity, and an example of SMOK Novo 4 Mini kit, which is a worthy continuer of one of the most famous line of submodems.

It is enough just to look at the SMOK Novo 4 Mini kit and it immediately becomes clear not only who the manufacturer is, but to which series the device belongs – the same rounded corners and edges, the same ergonomics, the same characteristic lines. We can’t say that the size of the device, which even has a prefix Mini, has changed much because it is 91.6 * 24.5 * 16.0 mm and weighs 50 grams, but in any case POD-system will not take much space in your pocket. It’s worth noting that the manufacturer offers two color schemes of Prismatic and Regular case design, in which there are ten colors to choose from.
Maximum power 25 watts in the SMOK Novo 4 Mini kit provides built-in battery with 900 mAh capacity, which is enough for two or three days of autonomous work (the period depends on the intensity of smoking, type and strength of the liquid used by the vaporizer).
The battery is charged via USB Type-C connector located on the bottom end of the device with 0.7A current.
An important feature of the SMOK Novo 4 Mini kit compared to previous versions is that it does not have any controls, and the power of proprietary chipset automatically sets depending on the resistance of the vaporizer. Activation of the device is made by puffing. On the side surface of the device under the puff adjustment wheel is a LED, which changes its color depending on the battery level.
