What the label discloses

SMOK makes refillable devices, not e-liquid. The Nord 5 pod device page lists a built-in 2000mAh battery and 5W to 80W output, carries the nicotine warning and says the device is intended for use with e-liquids containing nicotine; it gives no nicotine strength or e-liquid ingredients (its liquid section reads "No data found"). The site footer names Hong Kong IVPS International Limited; FDA documents name Shenzhen IVPS Technology Co., Ltd. as the applicant for SMOK products.

Only ingredients disclosed on the label or identified by an official source (FDA, another government agency or lab, an accredited lab or a court record) are listed, each with its source. Compound Laws does not guess at undisclosed contents.
