Okay, so, I’ve been meaning to write about this for a while, and since I finally got around to it, here’s my take on the best SMOK vapes of 2023. You know, SMOK’s been around, they are like an old friend. I remember getting my first SMOK, oh boy, it was a mess, but that’s another story.
So, first up, I picked up the SMOK Nord 4. I heard it’s been making waves and all. It got this beefy 2000mAh battery, which is a big plus. It’s a solid device, doesn’t feel like it’s gonna break if you drop it, which, let’s be honest, happens to the best of us. I charged it up, and the thing lasted me a good while, definitely all day. No complaints there. I played around with the wattage, went all the way up to 80W. It’s kinda neat how you can tweak it like that. I started at a lower wattage and found myself going higher because, well, why not? The pods are refillable, 2ml, which is pretty standard. I tried different juices in it and it worked great with all.

- Fill up the pod.
- Slap it on the device.
- Click, click, click…
- Vape away!
Then I saw some people online talking about the SMOK Nord GT, saying it’s even better than the Nord 4. I was like, “No way,” but curiosity got the better of me. I got my hands on one, and damn, they weren’t kidding. It feels premium, like they really stepped up their game with the materials. And the battery? Even better than the Nord 4. I mean, who would’ve thought? The feeling when you first hold it, you just know it’s quality stuff. I took it apart, checked out the insides, all neat and tidy, and put it back together like a pro.
Trying Out the G-PRIV Pro
Next, I got the G-PRIV Pro. This one’s been around since 2021, I remember seeing it but never got to try it until now. It is a balanced device, not too heavy, not too light. I tried this for a few days, and it’s solid. The design is nice, feels good in your hand, and the screen is clear. I messed with the settings, switched modes, the usual. I was able to get some decent clouds out of it. Not the craziest, but good enough. I went through different coils with it, and they all did their job.
I did a little digging online too, found a top 5 SMOK vapes for 2024 list. It is interesting to see what they’re hyping up for next year. I thought that was a bit early, but hey, who am I to judge? I read through it, made some notes, and thought about which ones I might try next.
So yeah, that’s my experience with these SMOK vapes. I gotta say, they’ve come a long way. I enjoyed testing them out, tinkering with them, and seeing what they can do.
