Smok Novo Axis Pod Kit
Smok Novo Axis Pod Kit — refillable MTL/RDL pod kit, 1350mAh battery, 0.96-inch screen, three power modes, £17.99 at VOS. Best for ex-disposable users who want to see battery and puff count. Not ideal if you want the smallest, cheapest Novo: that is the Axis EZ.
The Smok Novo Axis is the 2026 flagship of the Novo range: the first Novo with a colour TFT display and selectable ECO, NOR and PWR modes. It runs top-fill Novo SLR 2.0 pods (Smok calls them Novo Core pods), with a 0.8Ω and a 0.6Ω in the box.
🔥 Real-World Battery Life: The 1350mAh battery delivers a full day for most MTL vapers, and the 0.96-inch screen contributes less than 1% of battery drain. Element Vape’s review confirms: “Backed by a 1350mAh battery, it has some real power behind it, meaning a single charge can last most of the day (if you’re hitting it constantly, like I know you are).” Charging takes roughly 45–80 minutes at 5V/1.2A.
Key Facts

🔋 1350mAh Built-In Battery A full day for most MTL vapers; the largest battery in any Novo. Charging takes 45–80 minutes at 5V/1.2A. The 0.96-inch screen contributes less than 1% of battery drain — negligible impact on real-world use.
⚡ ECO / NOR / PWR Modes One click steps through them; wattage stays inside each pod’s safe range. ECO stretches battery, PWR gives the warmest hit, NOR sits in between. There’s also a separate Eco Battery setting that turns off animations to preserve charge.
📱 0.96-Inch TFT Stealth Screen A real battery reading, the thing older Novo owners asked for most. Shows battery, mode and puff count. Three screen themes: Classic, Dynamic and Rave. The display blends seamlessly into the body with no visible bezel.
💧 2ml Top-Fill Novo SLR 2.0 Pods 0.6Ω mesh (15–21W) and 0.8Ω mesh (12–16W) included. A 1.0Ω mesh (8–12W) and 0.6Ω dual mesh are sold separately. Top-fill under the mouthpiece — no need to remove the pod.
💨 MTL to RDL, Adjustable Airflow A side slider tightens or opens the draw. Closed down, the draw feels satisfying and cigarette-like. Opened up, it becomes noticeably airier, producing warmer vapour and larger clouds.
🔌 USB-C, 5V/1.2A Charging Cable included. Smok rates it 5V/1.2A; UK retailers quote 45 to 80 minutes, so budget an hour. While not the fastest charging pod kit on the market, it gets the job done without issue.
🔥 Mesh Coil Technology The SLR 2.0 pods use mesh coils that heat e-liquid evenly for consistent flavour from first puff to last. Mesh coils heat faster and more evenly than standard wire coils, which is why modern vapes taste so much better than older ones.
🔒 Leak-Resistant Pod Design Top-fill system with a leak-resistant design. UK reviewers report no leaking under normal use. A little condensation in the airflow is normal; actual leaks usually come from overfilling or big temperature swings.
🏗️ Zinc Alloy + IML Textured Body Precision die-cast zinc alloy frame with golden ratio spirals etched into it and an IML textured surface for a secure, comfortable grip. Element Vape describes it as “visually stunning.”

Pick Your Inhale: MTL or RDL
MTL (mouth to lung) is a tight, cigarette-like draw. RDL (restricted direct lung) is looser, straight to the lungs, with more vapour. The pod decides which:
💨 0.8Ω Mesh, 12 to 16W MTL. Start here after a disposable; slider half closed, NOR mode. The 0.8Ω pod is the everyday setting and works brilliantly with 10mg or 20mg nic salts.
💨 1.0Ω Mesh, 8 to 12W Tightest MTL and lowest e-liquid use. Best with 20mg nic salts. The 1.0Ω pod gives the tightest draw in the range and stretches battery life further. Sold separately.
💨 0.6Ω Mesh or Dual Mesh, 15 to 21W RDL. Slider open, PWR mode, lower nicotine. Denser vapour and warmer draw. Best with 3mg to 10mg 50/50 freebase or 10mg salts.
💡 Pro Tip — Start on the 0.8Ω Pod:
After using a disposable, the 0.8Ω pod with the airflow half closed and mode on NOR is the closest match to what you’re used to. It’s the everyday setting and delivers a smooth, balanced MTL draw. Once you’re comfortable, try the 0.6Ω pod for a warmer, denser hit.
Key Features
Pod-safe power modes: ECO stretches battery, PWR gives the warmest hit, neither can over-drive a pod. One click cycles modes, three clicks opens the menu.
Readable colour screen: A real battery reading, the thing older Novo owners asked for most. Shows battery level, active mode, and puff count at a glance.
Top-fill pods: Flip the cap and fill without removing the pod. No mess, no fuss.
Adjustable side airflow: One slider covers tight MTL to RDL without swapping pods.
Fire button or inhale: Draw-activate like a disposable, or press for a fuller hit.
Backwards-compatible bay: Takes first-generation Novo SLR pods as well as SLR 2.0. If you’ve owned a Novo before, there’s a fair chance your spare pods still work.
Pods and E-Liquid Pairing
Use 50/50 e-liquid (half VG, half PG) in every pod; thick shortfills starve the small mesh.
🧂 0.8Ω or 1.0Ω (MTL) 10ml Nic Salts, 10mg for under ten cigarettes a day, 20mg for a pack a day. The 0.8Ω pod is the everyday setting; the 1.0Ω gives the tightest draw.
🧂 0.6Ω (RDL) 50/50 at 3mg to 10mg; 20mg is too harsh at 21W. The 0.6Ω pod delivers a warmer, denser hit for restricted direct lung vaping.
❌ Avoid Heavily sweetened liquids; they gunk the mesh in days. Dark, sweet liquids halve pod life. Stick to lighter fruit and menthol blends for maximum pod longevity.
⚠️ E-Liquid Warning: Using 70VG/30PG shortfill in either pod will clog the mesh wick and cause dry hits. Stick to 50/50 e-liquid or nic salts. The SLR 2.0 pods are designed for 50/50 blends and will perform at their best with them.
Battery, Pod Life and Running Cost
Battery: Expect a full day on the 0.8Ω pod, most of a day on the 0.6Ω in PWR. UK retailers advise a new pod about every week. Charging takes 45–80 minutes at 5V/1.2A.
Pod life: One 2ml fill lasts one to two days; each pod lasts one to two weeks depending on mode, liquid sweetness and whether it is run dry. UK retailers advise a new pod about every week.
Weekly cost: For a 10ml-a-week vaper, a 10ml nic salt at around £4 plus one pod at £2.33 (£6.99 for three) is about £6.30 a week.
💷 Cost Per Week Breakdown: From 1 October 2026, UK Vaping Products Duty adds £2.20 to every 10ml bottle, so budget nearer £8.50 a week after that, still under a prefilled pod habit at £10 to £12. Against £15 to £25 on disposables, the Novo Axis pays for itself in the first month.
Compatibility: Which Pods Fit
SLR 2.0 pods in 0.6Ω mesh, 0.6Ω dual mesh, 0.8Ω and 1.0Ω. UK retailers also list first-generation Novo SLR and Novo 2-family pods as compatible.
⚠️ Compatibility Check: Novo 4, Novo 5 and Novo 6 pods do not fit. Versus the Novo Axis EZ, the Axis has a 1350mAh cell (EZ: 1100mAh), a screen instead of an LED, and selectable modes instead of auto-only; both use the same pods. Spares: Smok pods.

Novo 6 Fans
🏆 Why Smok Novo Axis Wins: It offers the biggest battery in any Novo (1350mAh), a 0.96-inch TFT stealth screen for full visibility, three power modes (ECO, NOR, PWR), and backwards compatibility with older Novo SLR pods. At £17.99, it undercuts the Novo 6 Ultra by £2 and gives you the screen and modes the EZ doesn’t have. If you’ve owned a Novo before, your spare pods likely still work.

Black and Malachite Blue were the first UK stock wave: the safe pick for discreet pocket carry or an ex-smoker wanting a classic look. Bronze Gold and Platinum suit anyone who wants the screen to stand out; Red and Sapphire Blue are the high-visibility choices.
How to Set Up the Smok Novo Axis
Turn on: Press the button five times to turn on. The screen will light up showing battery level, mode and puff count.
Fill the pod: Open the top-fill cap on the 0.8Ω pod and fill with 50/50 e-liquid to just below the line. Leave a small air gap to prevent leaking.
Prime the coil: Close the cap and wait five minutes so the mesh soaks. Skipping this is the number one cause of a burnt first hit. A scorched mesh coil cannot be recovered.
Insert the pod: Push the pod into the device until it seats securely.
Set airflow: Slider half closed for MTL, fully open for RDL.
Set mode: One click cycles ECO, NOR, PWR. Start on NOR and draw.
⚠️ Priming is Everything: The five-minute wait is non-negotiable. Rushing this step is the #1 cause of burnt hits on a new pod. A scorched mesh coil cannot be recovered — it will taste burnt for its entire life. Take the extra few minutes at the start and you’ll get a week or more of clean flavour from each pod.
How to Make It Last Longer
Never fire with e-liquid below the coil window; dry firing kills mesh instantly.
Stick to 50/50 with low sweetener to get past a week per pod. Dark, sweet liquids halve pod life.
Charge before the screen reads under 10 percent. Deep discharges shorten battery life over months of use.
Wipe the pod contacts weekly to stop condensation misfires.
Use ECO or NOR daily and save PWR for short bursts when you want a stronger hit.
Store the kit upright at room temperature to prevent leaking and keep the coil saturated.
💡 Pro Tip — Screen Themes:
Three clicks opens the menu where you can change the screen theme between Classic, Dynamic and Rave. You can also switch on the Eco Battery mode that turns off animations to stretch the last of your charge — the sort of thing you switch on at 4pm when the battery is getting low.

Conclusion
The Smok Novo Axis Pod Kit is one of the best value refillable pod kits on the market right now for anyone who wants MTL and RDL flexibility in a slim, pocket-friendly device.
