Adjusting Airflow
The SMOK Novo 5 features an adjustable airflow system, allowing you to customize the tightness or looseness of your draws. This provides flexibility in tailoring your vaping experience to your preferences.
To adjust the airflow, simply rotate the airflow control ring located at the base of the device. This ring features a series of markings that indicate different airflow settings. Turning the ring clockwise will restrict airflow, resulting in a tighter draw, while turning it counter-clockwise will open up the airflow, providing a looser draw.
Experiment with different airflow settings to find your ideal balance between vapor production and throat hit. A tighter airflow generally results in a more intense flavor and throat hit, while a looser airflow produces larger clouds and a smoother draw.
Power Output and Wattage Adjustment
The SMOK Novo 5 boasts a variable wattage output range of 5-30W, allowing you to fine-tune the power delivered to the coil for a personalized vaping experience. This adjustable wattage feature empowers you to control the vapor production and heat intensity according to your preferences.
To adjust the wattage, simply triple-click the button located beneath the OLED screen; This will activate wattage adjustment mode, indicated by the flashing wattage number on the screen. Using the same button, you can then increase or decrease the wattage in 1W increments. A single press will increase the wattage by 1W, while holding the button will increment the wattage more rapidly.
Remember that higher wattage settings will generally result in hotter vapor, larger clouds, and a more intense flavor, while lower wattage settings produce a cooler, smoother vapor with a less pronounced throat hit. Experiment with different wattage levels to discover your ideal balance of vapor production and flavor characteristics.
Using the Device
The SMOK Novo 5 offers a user-friendly experience, with two activation methods to choose from⁚ button activation and auto draw activation. For button activation, simply press and hold the fire button located on the side of the device to initiate vaping.

The device features a 0.69-inch OLED screen that displays essential information such as the current wattage, battery life, puff counter, and resistance. This clear and concise display keeps you informed about the device’s status and performance.

Troubleshooting
While the SMOK Novo 5 is designed for reliability, there may be instances where you encounter minor issues. Here are some common troubleshooting tips to address potential problems⁚
If the device does not turn on, ensure that the battery is sufficiently charged. Connect the device to a power source using the provided USB-C cable and allow it to charge for a sufficient duration.
If the device displays an error message, refer to the user manual for specific troubleshooting instructions. Some common error messages may indicate low battery, coil recognition issues, or overheating.
If you experience a dry hit, which is a burning sensation in your mouth, this often indicates that the coil is dry. Ensure that the pod is properly filled with e-liquid and allow the coil to saturate for a few minutes before vaping.
If you notice any leaks from the pod, try tightening the pod connection to ensure a secure seal. If the leak persists, the pod may be damaged and should be replaced.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular maintenance and cleaning are essential to ensure optimal performance and longevity of your SMOK Novo 5. Here are some tips to keep your device in top condition⁚

To clean the pod, gently remove the mouthpiece and rinse it with warm water. Avoid submerging the pod in water, as this could damage the internal components. Allow the mouthpiece to air dry completely before reattaching it to the pod.
