The Eleaf iVeni and SMOK Novo 6 Ultra Pod are both 40W pod systems with displays and adjustable airflow, making them close competitors on paper. The main differences show up in battery capacity and a few spec areas where the two brands report figures that aren’t directly comparable.
This comparison sticks to the documented specs for each device, calling out where one product has a clear edge and where the data simply isn’t detailed enough to declare a winner.

Battery
The SMOK Novo 6 Ultra Pod wins the battery category on the strength of its 1700 mAh cell versus the Eleaf iVeni’s 1100 mAh, a meaningful gap that should translate into longer use between charges. The Eleaf iVeni does charge to 80% faster, in 30 minutes against 35 minutes for the SMOK Novo 6 Ultra Pod, and both use the same 2A charge current, but the larger overall capacity is the more significant factor for day-to-day battery life, which is why the category goes to the SMOK Novo 6 Ultra Pod despite the iVeni’s quicker top-up.
Performance
Performance is a tie. Both devices max out at 40W and offer adjustable airflow, so neither has a documented edge in raw output or airflow control. The SMOK Novo 6 Ultra Pod lists variable wattage support while the Eleaf iVeni’s variable wattage status is not stated, and the two devices use different coil resistance ranges (0.4Ω–1.2Ω for the iVeni versus 0.4ohm–0.8ohm for the Novo 6 Ultra Pod), but these are listed as no comparable data points rather than wins for either side, so there isn’t enough matching evidence to separate them on performance.
Convenience
Convenience also ties. Both products include a display screen and adjustable airflow, and both weigh in around the same range (88 g for the iVeni, 83.5 g for the Novo 6 Ultra Pod), which is close enough that weight doesn’t tip things either way. Differences in charging port naming (USB-C vs Type-C), battery type description (Internal vs Built-in), and build material (unstated for the iVeni vs zinc-alloy/aluminium for the Novo 6 Ultra Pod) are all flagged as non-comparable rather than genuine advantages, so convenience remains a tie.
The Eleaf iVeni suits buyers who prioritize faster charging, since it reaches 80% in 30 minutes compared to 35 minutes for the SMOK Novo 6 Ultra Pod.
The SMOK Novo 6 Ultra Pod suits buyers who want longer battery life between charges, thanks to its 1700 mAh capacity versus the Eleaf iVeni's 1100 mAh.
The verdict
Neither device comes out ahead overall. The SMOK Novo 6 Ultra Pod has the clear battery capacity advantage, while performance and convenience are ties based on the available specs. Several categories, including coil resistance options, variable wattage, and build material, simply lack enough comparable detail to call a winner, so buyers should weigh the confirmed battery difference against their own priorities rather than expect one product to win across the board.
