SMOK Nord review: Nord 4 specs as listed
The Nord 4 lists the same 5-80W range and 2000mAh battery, with a 4.5ml pod. It ships with an RPM 2 pod (0.16 ohm mesh, for direct-lung) and an RPM pod (0.4 ohm mesh, for mouth-to-lung), dual airflow dials and button activation, in 12 colours.
MTL or DTL
The Nord 4 package includes both pod types, so it covers both styles out of the box. The Nord 5 listing is framed around direct-lung use. See MTL vs DTL vaping.
Colours and options
The Nord 5 is listed in seven colours and the Nord 4 in twelve, across regular and leather series. Check each page for stock by colour. These kits are sold without e-liquid, which is bought separately; see e-liquid for pod systems.
Value for money
Both kits are AED 150. A 3-pack of Nord 4 replacement pods is listed at AED 45, and Nord coils from AED 45.
Nord 5 vs Nord 4: same price, different strengths
Both kits are AED 150, so the choice is about hardware. The Nord 5 gives a 5ml pod against 4.5ml, RPM 3 coils, stepless dual-side airflow and a coil lock meant to prevent leaks, in seven colours. The Nord 4 ships with two pods in the box (RPM 2 at 0.16 ohm for direct-lung and RPM at 0.4 ohm for mouth-to-lung), dual airflow dials and button activation, in twelve colours.
If you already know your style, the Nord 5 offers the larger pod and the newer coil series. If you are still deciding between mouth-to-lung and direct-lung, the Nord 4 covers both out of the box. For running costs, a 3-pack of Nord 4 replacement pods is listed at AED 45, and Nord coils start from AED 45. All figures come from the listings, not our own tests.

SMOK Nord review verdict: which one suits you
Choose the Nord 5 for the larger pod, leak lock and current coil range. Choose the Nord 4 if you want both MTL and DTL pods in the box and more colours.
Who should look elsewhere
For a simpler device see beginner pod kits; for more power see high-wattage kits.
