SMOK Novo Pod Compatibility Chart: Which Pods Fit Your Novo

The number in a Novo device’s name doesn’t tell you which pod it takes. The Novo 6 uses Novo 5 pods, the Novo GT uses Novo 2 and Novo 2X pods, and the Novo 4 doesn’t share a pod with any other Novo. What matters is which pod family the device was built around. Grouping the pods by the devices SMOK lists them for, we count five families:

1. Classic Novo pods: Novo, Novo 2, Novo 2 Clear, Novo 2X, Novo 3 and Novo Pod-Clear pods. SMOK calls this the “Novo series family.” Newer pods made for later devices, such as NOVO Pod M, sit alongside it.
2. Novo 5 pods: the 0.7Ω MTL, 0.6Ω and dual 0.4Ω/0.8Ω pods for the Novo 5, Novo 6 and Novo 6 Ultra.
3. Novo X pods: listed for the Novo X only.
4. Novo 4 and Novo 4 Mini pods: empty pods that take replaceable LP1 coils.
5. NOVO Pod (SLR 2.0): for the Novo Axis and Novo Axis EZ.

One thing to know before you read the chart: none of the SMOK pages we checked says “not compatible.” SMOK lists which devices each pod is for. When a pod isn’t on a device’s list, we don’t recommend it for that device.

Each row shows the pods SMOK lists for that device on an official SMOK page: the device’s product page, another Novo page’s compatibility list, SMOK’s pod boxes, or SMOK’s coil and pod compatibility guide. Device names link to the kit on Black Note where we carry it. Output is SMOK’s spec.

Where to buy each family: Novo 5 pods (Novo 5, 6 and 6 Ultra), Novo pods, Novo 2 pods, Novo 2X pods, Novo 3 pods, NOVO Pod M, Novo X pods, Novo 4 pods and Novo 4 Mini pods.

Not in the chart: the Novo Master Box, because SMOK’s product page for it is no longer online and we couldn’t confirm its pod list from an official source.

Yes, Novo 5 and Novo 6 pods are interchangeable, because they’re the same pods. SMOK doesn’t sell a separate Novo 6 pod. The Novo 6 ships with Novo 5 pods, and its product page says “the expanded NOVO 5 Pod series is compatible with NOVO 6 and novo 5.” The Novo 6 Ultra page adds the Ultra to that list, and SMOK’s boxes for the 0.6Ω and dual 0.4Ω/0.8Ω pods read “NOVO 5 / NOVO 6 / NOVO 6 ULTRA DEVICE COMPATIBLE.”

All three are top-fill pods that SMOK sells as complete pods, with no separate coil listed, so you replace the whole pod. We carry all three in SMOK Novo 5 pods, in 3-packs.

The one detail to know about the dual 0.4Ω/0.8Ω pod: the Novo 6 Ultra has an ohm select setting to switch between the two resistances. SMOK lists the pod as Novo 5 and Novo 6 compatible too, but the Novo 5 spec sheet gives a 0.5Ω to 2.5Ω range and SMOK doesn’t say how the Novo 5 or Novo 6 handle the 0.4Ω setting. If you vape on a Novo 5 or Novo 6, the pods SMOK shows on those devices’ own pages are the 0.7Ω (Novo 5 and Novo 6) and the 0.6Ω (Novo 6).

For the device itself, our Novo 6 review covers the 40W output and the 1700mAh battery.

This is the biggest group, and the one with the most overlap. On the Novo 2C page, SMOK lists Novo pods, Novo 2 pods, Novo 2 Clear pods, Novo 2X pods and Novo Pod-Clear together under one line: “These pods are compatible with novo, novo 2, novo 2S, novo 2X, PROPOD and novo 2C.” The Novo Pro, Master, GT, GT Box, Eco, Classy and Go pages each say they take Novo, Novo 2 and Novo 2X pods as well.

How to read this group:

• Novo 2 and Novo 2X pods go both ways. The Novo 2X page lists Novo and Novo 2 pods, and the Novo 2C page lists the Novo 2X pod as compatible with the Novo 2 and Novo 2S.
• Novo 3 pods appear only in SMOK’s compatibility guide, which lists them with the Novo, Novo 2, Novo 2S and Novo 3. SMOK doesn’t name them on the newer devices’ pages.
• NOVO Pod M ships with the Novo GT and Novo GT Box, and the Novo Classy lists it. SMOK doesn’t say whether it fits the older Novo, Novo 2 or Novo 2X devices.
• Fill style alone doesn’t decide fit. SMOK’s Novo Eco chart lists both side-fill and top-fill pods as compatible, and the Novo 2X page says the 2X moved the filling port “from the bottom of the pod to the top.”

Our Novo GT Box review and Novo Pro review cover those two devices in more depth.

Three Novo devices sit outside the shared families. SMOK lists each one’s pod for that device alone.

• Novo X: Novo X pods come as a DC 0.8Ω MTL pod (SMOK recommends 12W to 25W) and a meshed 0.8Ω pod (10W to 15W), each 2mL, plus clear versions of both. SMOK’s compatibility guide lists them for the Novo X kit only.
• Novo 4: an empty 2mL pod that takes LP1 coils. Our Novo 4 pods are this empty pod.
• Novo 4 Mini: its own empty 2mL pod, also built for LP1 coils. Buy Novo 4 Mini pods for this device.

The coils are shared even though the pods aren’t. SMOK lists LP1 coils for the Novo 4, Novo 4 Mini and Pozz Pro. The LP1 range SMOK shows for the Novo 4 includes a meshed 0.8Ω coil (best at 12W), a DC 0.8Ω MTL coil (12W to 25W) and a meshed 1.2Ω coil (10W to 15W); SMOK’s guide adds a meshed 0.9Ω MTL coil. These are the only Novo pods SMOK sells as empty pods for separate coils; every other Novo pod is sold as a complete pod.

SMOK’s newer Novo devices brought new pod lines. Here is what SMOK states for each:

• Novo Eco: ships with NOVO Pod (SLR), a spring-loaded top-fill pod in meshed 0.4Ω, 0.6Ω, 0.8Ω and 1.0Ω. SMOK’s chart for the Eco also lists Novo, Novo Pod-Clear, Novo 2 and Novo 2X pods.
• Novo Classy: ships with NOVO Pod (CLX) and lists Novo, Novo 2, Novo 2X, Novo Pod-Clear, NOVO Pod M and NOVO Pod (SLR) pods as compatible.
• Novo Go: ships with NOVO Pod (SLR) and lists NOVO Pod (CLX) plus Novo, Novo 2 and Novo 2X pods.
• Novo Axis: uses NOVO Pod (SLR 2.0) in 0.6Ω dual mesh, 0.6Ω, 0.8Ω and 1.0Ω, each 2mL with top fill.
• Novo Axis EZ: uses the same SLR 2.0 pods, but SMOK’s pod list for it excludes the 1.0Ω pod from the US edition and the Canadian 2mL edition. The US edition card lists the 0.6Ω dual mesh, 0.6Ω and 0.8Ω pods.

The Axis box also says “NOVO CORE POD Compatible,” and SMOK doesn’t explain that name. SMOK doesn’t say whether SLR 2.0 pods fit any Novo outside the Axis line, or whether the older pods fit the Axis. Treat the Axis models as their own family.

We built this chart from SMOK’s own pages only, and a few of them disagree or leave gaps. Here’s where, and what we did about it:

• Newer pods in older devices. SMOK lists NOVO Pod M, Pod (SLR) and Pod (CLX) only for the newer Novo GT, GT Box, Eco, Classy and Go. It doesn’t say whether they fit the original Novo, Novo 2, 2S, 2X or 2C, so the chart doesn’t list them there.
• One SMOK blog post goes further than the product pages. It calls the Novo GT pods “cross-compatible over the entire Novo line.” SMOK’s product pages and compatibility guide don’t support that: the Novo X, Novo 4 and Novo 5 families are listed separately. We followed the product pages.
• Novo 3 and Novo 4 Mini: we couldn’t find a live SMOK product page for either. Their rows come from SMOK’s coil and pod compatibility guide.
• The Novo 2X pod is listed as meshed 0.6Ω and 0.9Ω MTL on the Novo 2X page and as 0.8Ω MTL on the Novo 2C and Eco pages. SMOK doesn’t say how these versions relate.
• SMOK’s compatibility guide is incomplete. It leaves out the Novo 2X and 2C as hosts for classic pods and doesn’t list Novo 5, Pod M, SLR or CLX pods. Where the guide and a product page differ, we used the product page.

If you’re not sure a pod fits your device, stick with one SMOK lists for it in the chart. If the pod doesn’t click in firmly, don’t force it.

Resistance tells you how a pod draws. As a general rule (our guidance, not SMOK’s), higher-resistance MTL pods, such as the 1.0Ω, 1.2Ω and 1.4Ω pods, run at low power with a tight, mouth-to-lung draw that suits Black Note salt nicotine and Black Note 50/50 tobacco e-liquids. Lower-resistance mesh pods, such as the 0.6Ω and the dual 0.4Ω, run at higher power with a looser draw and pair with thicker 70VG/30PG e-liquid.

For adults 21 and older only. Nicotine is an addictive chemical. This guide is educational and does not make medical or stopping-smoking claims. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for your device and pods. Compatibility, power and capacity details were checked against SMOK’s official product pages, official store listings and coil and pod compatibility guide on October 15, 2026. Where SMOK’s sources disagree, we followed the device’s own product page. Black Note did not bench-test the pods for this guide.
