Hi All, Anthony Vapes back here with my review of the Smoant Naboo Kit. Please see bottom for disclaimers and links. Note: This marked as a sample.
Introduction:
The Smoant Naboo Kit is the latest kit from vape community popular manufacturer Smoant. They aren't one of the most popular overall but they have been making some really good mods over the past few years and made a few of my favorite ones this year as well like the charon mini and battlestar mini. The Smoant Naboo Kit is a kit is a kit that includes a dual 18650 Naboo mod rated at 225 watts and includes the Naboo Mesh tank as well. It’s available in 7 colors Black, Pink, Green, Rainbow, SS, Gradient Blue and Red. Looking around online i see the kit priced around 50-60USD and currently 57.95 at elementvape in the US.

Initial Impressions and features
When I first got this Mod, I really liked the design but i’m also going to come out and say this that smoant and vaporesso have been releasing very similar mods at the same time lately. Their charon mini was very similar to the polar and now this naboo is very similar to the luxe. Not a big deal but quite interesting for sure. I did get to see both these mods months ago at ECC as well so probably just a coincidence but funny nonetheless. Either way though i love the massive 2.4” color screen which i believe is now the biggest on the market as the biggest used to be the polar, charon mini, and proton with a 2” color screen. It also has haptic feedback touch buttons like the luxe and revenger x mods. I like it but some may prefer physical buttons. Overall though really nice simple and symmetrical design with a centered 510 pin.
Watt Mode Performance (chart and spreadsheet in picture album)
Now let’s get into some data. I ran my normal testing. I used Sony VTC5A batteries for the testing. Testing resistances were done at .12, .14, .2, and .59 ohms. wattage points were max (225), 200, 150, 100, 75, 50 and 25. At .12 ohms it maxed out at 212 watts and 42 amps. For the rest of the testing it was slightly low 2-5 watts except 100 where it was on point and 25 where it was 2 watts high. No struggle there which is really nice as many mods struggle at that resistance. At .14 it maxed out at 239 watts. The rest of the testing was a little on the high side 2-6 watts except at 200 where it was 14 high. For the .2 test it maxed out at 206 watts. Again a little on the high side 4-7 watts at 100 or less and 11 watts at 150. For the .59 testing it maxed out at 97 watts and 7.574 volts. For the rest of the testing it hit high 4-9 watts. The volts shows there is no boost circuit in this mod like many dual battery mods.
Overall I felt the performance of this mod was really good. It didn’t struggle with the .12 ohm build which many mods do. It mostly hits slightly high overall so i’d suggest starting your power about 10 watts lower than normal. I was able to get 239 watts max, so I consider it to be accurately rated at 225 watts even a little underrated. The 7.574 volt limit shows there is no boost circuit. Their manual does not list a voltage limit or amp limit and I wish they would list all 3 personally. On this mod and the most amps i got was 42 with a .12 ohm coil which is a little above average for a dual battery mod (average is around 40 these days). Personally If i was listing the specs I’d call the mod 240 watts, 8V and 40A. So overall good performer and accurately rated for watts
Simplified TLDR Power Performance summary
Mod performance is really good. Mostly hits few watts off on the high side. Accurately rated for watts (239), No boost circuit, above average amp limit of 42. Volts tested at 7.574 so pretty expected from a non boost mod.
Temperature Control Performance
Using SS316 wire in SS mode and in TCR mode, I tested 8 builds. 2 simple round single coil, 2 simple round dual Coil, 2 large fancy single coils builds, and 2 large fancy dual coil builds. Personally I found it best in TCR mode with the TCR set to 110. That made it feel the most accurate to me with a warm vape in the 450ish range as it should be which allows plenty of room for adjustment if you want a cooler or hotter vape. You can also adjust your wattage for ramp as well to the full amount of watts. Very well done there. Overall it’s a great performer as i’ve come to expect from smoant mods. The throttle is smooth and not pulsey. It’s consistent, no dry hits. The ramp is good no complaints there and overall just a really nice vape in TC mode so well done there.
Other Usage Notes
The mod uses a standard 5 click of the fire button to turn on and off. Under the fire button there is another button that you use to lock or unlock the adjustment touch buttons. Holding that button down turns stealth mode on or off. You use 3 clicks of fire to enter the menu which is very nice and well laid out and the same as the cylon and charon mini. Smoant always does a nice menu. It’s very easy to operate. Modes are power (with normal, hard, and soft preheat) , and TC for Ni, Ti, and SS and TCR mode. There is also watt curve mode and temp curve mode as well. Overall easy to use menu and mod. You can also set custom wallpapers via their software. u/AnTi90d
made a great tutorial here on how to do that.
The Smoant Naboo adjusts by .1 watt increments under 100 watts and full watt increments 100 or more. If you hold the adjustment button it does full watts under 100 as well and scrolls pretty fast. Overall well done there and fast and easy to adjust but i’m not a fan of .1 watt increments over 20 watts. The mod itself is built solid with no rattle at all, and has a nice weight to it where it’s not heavy but not light. Feels really good in the hand. The Battery door is a standard magnetic back plate and It’s easy to get batteries in and out without damaging wraps and takes (2)18650 batteries. The backplate fits really well with no play and the batteries come out and in easy without a ribbon like their charon mini mod
There paint on the mod is very nice as well. I have the rainbow one personally and it’s shiny and looks great but does fingerprint magnet. The fire button is nice large and clicky fire button on the side of the mod that is a pointer finger fire in the right hand with screen facing away from your palm. It works well and It never gets stuck or anything though which is as it should be and is really comfy to use and you can fire it by squeezing the mod. The 510 pin gave me no issues and every atomizer i used on it worked great with no gaps. The mod handles a 25mm atomizer with no issues and the 510 is centered. The screen is a massive 2.4” color screen that looks great. It’s bright and easy to see. Also for branding the mod itself there is a small smoant logo above the screen in white and a Naboo Logo on the back on the bottom small and in white. Nicely branded overall. They list a charging rate of 1.5A but i don’t recommend charging internally in your mods and I don’t test charge rates of devices like this due to that.
