If you’re looking for versatility in a compact pod system, the SMOK Nord C Pod Kit offers excellent flexibility for both MTL and DTL vaping styles. Designed to work exclusively with SMOK Nord C Replacement Pods and the SMOK RPM 2 Coils range, this setup delivers strong flavour, smooth airflow, and reliable performance.
Whether you prefer a tighter mouth-to-lung inhale or a more open direct-to-lung draw, the Nord C system gives you the option to customise your vape.
SMOK Nord C Replacement Pods
The SMOK Nord C pods are empty, refillable cartridges built specifically for the SMOK Nord C device. Each pod is TPD-compliant with a 2ml e-liquid capacity and features a simple, practical design.
Key Features
2ml e-liquid capacity
Top-fill design
Empty, refillable pods
Compatible with RPM 2 coil range
Bottom press-fit coil installation
Removable coil system (eco-friendly design)
The removable coil method means you only replace the coil — not the entire pod — helping reduce waste and save money over time.
The secure press-fit installation ensures coils sit firmly in place, helping to prevent leaks and maintain consistent vapour production.
RPM 2 Coil Compatibility
The Nord C pods are compatible only with the SMOK RPM 2 coil series.
They are NOT compatible with standard RPM coils.
This is important to note when purchasing replacements, as RPM and RPM 2 coils are not interchangeable.
Available RPM 2 Coil Options
0.6Ω DC MTL Coil (Default Combo)
Best for: Mouth-to-Lung (MTL)
Produces: Moderate vapour with a tighter draw
Ideal for: Higher nicotine strengths and smoother throat hit
This coil is typically included as the default option and is perfect for users transitioning from smoking or preferring a more restricted inhale.
0.25Ω DC Coil
Best for: Direct-to-Lung (DTL)
Produces: Increased vapour and stronger airflow
Ideal for: Lower nicotine strengths
0.16Ω Mesh Coil
Best for: DTL vaping
Produces: Fast ramp-up time, enhanced flavour, dense vapour
0.3Ω Mesh Coil
Best for: Balanced DTL
Produces: Smooth vapour with strong flavour
Mesh coil options provide more surface area for heating e-liquid evenly, resulting in improved flavour clarity and cloud production.
E-Liquid Recommendations
Choosing the right e-liquid ratio is essential for performance:
- 0.6Ω MTL Coil: 50/50 or high-PG e-liquids
- 0.25Ω / 0.16Ω / 0.3Ω Coils: 60–70% VG e-liquids
Matching the correct VG/PG ratio helps:
- Prevent leaking
- Extend coil lifespan
- Improve flavour consistency
- Reduce dry hits
How to Install an RPM 2 Coil
- Remove the pod from your Nord C device.
- Insert the coil into the bottom of the pod using the press-fit design.
- Fill the pod using the top-fill port.
- Allow the coil to prime for 5–10 minutes before vaping.
Proper priming helps prevent burnt hits and increases coil longevity.
