SMOK Novo 6 Ultra Vape Pod Kit

Draw-activated, no fire button, and yet somehow packing a 0.96-inch TFT colour screen and 5 to 40W of adjustable output. The Novo 6 Ultra is SMOK's latest take on the Novo series, and the pitch is MTL and RDTL from the same device depending on where you set the airflow ring.

1700mAh internal battery, 2ml top-fill pods with sealed mesh coils, and backward compatibility with SMOK Novo 5 pods (not Novo 6, which trips people up). USB-C charging, seven colours from Mineral Green through to Gold, and a body that fits a closed hand comfortably. Browse it at Pirate Vapes. Over 18s only.

Why vapers choose this:

• MTL and RDTL from one kit. Close the airflow for a cigarette-style draw, open it for a warmer restricted lung hit.

• 1700mAh battery that runs a full day at MTL wattages. Larger than the Novo 5 by a noticeable margin.

• 0.96-inch TFT showing battery, wattage, and coil data. Proper colour screen, not an LED indicator.

• Uses Novo 5 pods, so existing Novo 5 owners already have spare pods on hand

• Draw-activated with adjustable airflow. No buttons, no menus, but genuine control over draw tightness.

Smok Novo 6 Ultra Vape Pod Kit Features

MTL and RDTL Without Swapping Hardware

Most Pod Kits do one or the other. Tight MTL draw or loose RDTL draw. The Novo 6 Ultra does both from the same pod. Wind the airflow ring down, and you get a firm, cigarette-style pull that suits 20mg Nic Salts and ex-smokers transitioning off disposables. Open the ring and the draw loosens into RDTL territory: more air, warmer vapour, a touch more cloud. Same pod, same coil, different experience. That flexibility is the main reason to pick this over a fixed-airflow pod kit.

The Screen Tells You Things Worth Knowing

A 0.96-inch TFT colour screen on a draw-activated pod kit is unusual. Battery percentage, wattage, coil resistance. All visible without pressing a button or navigating a menu. You glance at the screen and know whether you need to charge, whether the pod is reading correctly, and roughly how hard the device is firing. Once you have had a pod kit with a proper screen, going back to a blinking LED feels like guesswork.

Novo 5 Pods Fit and That Is Not a Typo

The Novo 6 Ultra takes SMOK Novo 5 pods. Not Novo 2, not Novo 4, not Novo X. Specifically Novo 5. The coil is mesh, sealed permanently inside the pod. When the flavour degrades or you taste burnt cotton, you replace the entire pod. No coil swapping, no threading, no mess. If you already own a Novo 5, your spare pods work in this device on day one.

1700mAh Gets Through a Day Without Drama

The Novo 5 carried 900mAh. The Novo 6 Ultra nearly doubles that to 1700mAh. At MTL wattages, that translates to a genuine full day for moderate vapers. Running it in RDTL mode at higher wattage shortens that, but not by enough to cause a problem for most people. USB-C charging when you do plug it in. Quicker than the Micro USB ports SMOK used on older Novo devices.

Inhale and It Fires. Nothing Else Required.

No fire button. No five-click power-on sequence. No wattage adjustment buttons. Pick it up, draw on the mouthpiece, and the device activates. The TFT screen lights up, shows your current data, and goes dark again when you stop. The entire interaction model is built around making the device disappear from your attention. You think about the vape, not the device.

How to Set Up the Smok Novo 6 Ultra Vape Pod Kit

1. Charge the battery. USB-C cable in. The TFT screen shows charge progress. Wait for full before the first use.

2. Fill a pod. Pull a Novo 5 pod from the box. Flip the top-fill silicone plug open. Pour in your 50/50 E-Liquid or nic salt. Stay below the max line. Press the plug flat.

3. Wait for the mesh to soak. Click the pod into the device and leave it alone for four to five minutes. The mesh coil has cotton packed behind it that needs to absorb liquid fully. Drawing before the cotton is saturated means a burnt taste on the first pull, and mesh coils do not recover from that.

4. Set the airflow and inhale. Twist the airflow ring. Tight for MTL, open for RDTL. Put the mouthpiece to your lips and draw. The device fires on its own.

What's in the Smok Novo 6 Ultra Vape Pod Kit Box

• The Novo 6 Ultra device with its 1700mAh battery and TFT screen. 

• Two SMOK Novo 5 pods with sealed mesh coils (2ml each, top-fill). 

• A USB-C cable. 

• User manual. 

No e-liquid in the box. Browse the 10ml nic salt collection for compatible options.

Pairs With Every 50/50 Nic Salt on the Shelf

The Novo 6 Ultra runs on SMOK Novo 5 pods with permanently sealed mesh coils. Replacement Pods come in packs and are widely stocked. When a coil degrades, bin the pod and click a new one in.

For e-liquid, 50/50 VG/PG is the right match. Nic salts at 10mg or 20mg for tight MTL. 10mg salt or 6mg freebase for the more open RDTL setting. Avoid 70/30 High-VG Liquids. The pod coil ports are too small for viscous liquid, and you will get dry pulls and rapid coil degradation.

Does NOT use Novo 2, Novo 2X, Novo 4, or Novo X pods. Only Novo 5. Check the pack before buying.

About SMOK

SMOK operates out of Shenzhen under IVPS International Limited and ships hardware to more countries than most brands have customers. The Novo series alone has been running for six generations now, alongside the Nord range, the RPM platform, and the newer Arco line.

The Novo 6 Ultra sits in the current SMOK Pod Kit range as the flagship Novo device: bigger battery, better screen, and wider draw-style flexibility than any previous version. Replacement pods and coils are available in practically every UK vape shop, online or high street.

Stock Up and Save

Two pods in the box. Once those mesh coils fade, you need more. Grab a pack of Novo 5 replacement pods alongside the kit so you are not placing a second order within a week. Every device ships individually boxed with internal padding to keep the screen and pod connection protected in transit. Age-verified checkout, same-day dispatch before 4 pm, full tracking. Over 18s only. Spend over £25 and delivery is free with Free Pirate Vapes.

Conclusion

The Novo 6 Ultra gives you MTL and RDTL from the same pod, a 1700mAh battery that lasts a day, a proper colour screen, and draw-activated firing with adjustable airflow. No buttons, no menus, no complexity. Backward compatibility with Novo 5 pods means the coil supply chain is already established.

SMOK has been iterating on the Novo series for six generations and this is the most complete version they have made. If you want a pod kit that covers two draw styles without needing two devices, and you value simplicity over configurability, the Novo 6 Ultra is a strong pick. Grab one at Pirate Vapes.

FAQs

Which pods does the SMOK Novo 6 Ultra use?

Novo 5 pods. Not Novo 2, not Novo 4, not Novo X. The coil is sealed inside the pod. When flavour drops, replace the whole pod. Check the pack says Novo 5 before buying.

Is the SMOK Novo 6 Ultra MTL or RDTL?

Both. The airflow ring adjusts between a tight MTL draw and a looser RDTL pull. Same pod, same coil. You switch by turning the ring.

Does the Novo 6 Ultra have a fire button?

No. Draw-activated only. Inhale and the device fires. The TFT screen displays battery and wattage data, but there are no buttons to press.

What e-liquid should I use with the Novo 6 Ultra?

50/50 VG/PG. Nic salts at 10mg or 20mg for MTL. 10mg salt or 6mg freebase for RDTL. High-VG liquids are too thick for the pod coils.

How long does the Novo 6 Ultra battery last?

1700mAh. A full day for moderate MTL vapers. RDTL use at higher wattage drains it quicker. USB-C charges it back up fast.

Is the SMOK Novo 6 Ultra the same as the SMOK Novo 6?

The manufacturer page lists "Novo 6 Ultra Kit" as the full product name. Some retailers list it as "Novo 6" without "Ultra". Confirm with the store listing, but the specs and pod compatibility are the same as the device.
