Overview: what the SMOK Nord C Vape Kit is

The SMOK Nord C Vape Kit is a refillable pod kit aimed at adult smokers and ex-smokers who want something more flexible than a basic starter pen, without jumping all the way to a tank-and-mod setup. It combines a compact body, an internal 1800mAh battery and a refillable pod, and it takes replacement coils from SMOK's Nord family. That means you buy the hardware once and from then on you only pay for e-liquid and the occasional coil. SMOK has been making vaping hardware for well over a decade, and the Nord range is widely stocked across the UK, so pods, coils and spare parts are easy to find when you need them.

Since single-use vapes were banned in Great Britain in June 2025, refillable kits like this one have become the standard route for anyone who wants to keep vaping or switch away from cigarettes. A kit such as the Nord C sits in a sensible middle ground. It is small enough to carry in a jeans pocket, simple enough to use on day one, and adjustable enough that you are not locked into a single draw style or a single flavour for the life of the device.

Here is a quick snapshot of what the kit offers:

• Battery: built-in 1800mAh rechargeable cell, charged over USB Type-C.
• Output: variable power, with a maximum output of around 50W.
• Pod: refillable, with a 2ml capacity in the UK edition of the pod.
• Coils: replaceable SMOK Nord-family coils, available in higher-resistance and lower-resistance (mesh) styles.
• Controls: a fire button and adjustable output. The exact button sequence for your unit is printed in the manual that comes in the box, so keep it handy for the first day.
• Colour options: ten variants in this product family.

This page walks through how the kit performs, how to choose the right e-liquid and nicotine strength, how to set it up and look after it, what to do when something goes wrong, and how it stacks up against other popular pod kits. We have tried to be straightforward about the strengths and the limits, because a kit that suits one vaper can be a poor fit for another. If you are weighing it up against something else, the comparison section near the end should help you decide quickly.

Contents can vary slightly between batches, so check the product listing for the exact box contents. A typical kit includes the device, a pod, a coil (fitted or supplied separately), a USB Type-C charging cable and a manual with warranty information.

Performance and vapour delivery

Pod kits are not rated in puffs the way disposables used to be, because the number of puffs you get depends on how you vape. The useful way to think about it is capacity and consumption. A 2ml pod holds a fixed amount of e-liquid, and the coil and wattage you choose decide how quickly it is used. As a rough guide, a full 2ml pod typically gives somewhere between 400 and 700 puffs on a normal draw. Treat that as a ballpark rather than a promise. A gentle, low-power draw on a higher-resistance coil sits at the upper end, while long, powerful draws on a mesh coil at 40W or more will empty the pod noticeably faster.

The key performance variable is wattage. Because the Nord C reaches up to around 50W, you can tune it to your preferred style:

• Low power (roughly 12W to 25W): a tighter, cooler draw, closer to the feel of pulling on a cigarette. This range suits nicotine salts and higher-resistance coils, and it is where most ex-smokers are comfortable in the first few weeks.
• Mid power (roughly 25W to 35W): warmer vapour, more flavour definition and a looser draw. Good for 50/50 e-liquids and mesh coils.
• High power (roughly 35W to 50W): big clouds and a hot, dense hit. It is available, but the pod will empty faster, the coil will wear sooner and the battery will drain quickly. Most people settle below this range for everyday use.

Flavour delivery is where a mesh coil earns its keep. The larger heating surface warms more e-liquid evenly, which gives a fuller, smoother flavour than a basic round-wire coil, particularly with fruit and menthol profiles. A standard coil, on the other hand, gives a tighter draw and lets you vape at lower power without the liquid tasting thin.

E-liquid thickness matters more than many beginners expect. Small pod coils wick through narrow cotton channels, so very thick, high-VG liquids can struggle to keep up and cause dry or burnt hits. For the Nord C we recommend 50VG/50PG liquids or nicotine salts, which flow freely and keep the coil wet even on back-to-back draws. If you prefer thicker liquids, drop the wattage and take shorter pulls.

As the battery drops towards the last tenth of its charge, you may notice slightly weaker vapour, especially at higher wattage. That is normal behaviour for any lithium cell and is a good moment to plug in rather than push through. In steady, everyday use the Nord C delivers consistent output through most of the charge, with the first puff after a rest sometimes feeling a touch lighter until the coil is fully saturated again.

Design, build quality and colour options

The Nord C follows SMOK's familiar approach to pod hardware: a compact, rounded body that sits comfortably in the hand and slips into a pocket without a bulge. It is a little chunkier than the slimmest pen-style pods because the 1800mAh battery needs space, but it is still easy to carry all day. The body feels solid, the buttons are easy to find by touch, and the pod seats into the device with a firm, secure fit that does not rattle in a bag or pocket.

There are ten variants in this product family, mostly differing in colour and finish. Availability changes from batch to batch, but the range typically covers shades such as black, silver, blue, red, green, purple and pink, along with some gradient or two-tone finishes. The practical differences between colours are small. The electronics, pod and coil are the same, so choose the one you like looking at. A few practical notes on finishes:

• Dark and glossy finishes look sharp out of the box but show fingerprints and light scratches more readily. A quick wipe with a dry cloth keeps them tidy.
• Matte and textured finishes hide wear better and give a little more grip, which helps if you carry the kit loose in a pocket with keys.
• Bright colours are easier to spot if you tend to leave your vape on tables or in cars.

The pod is the part you interact with most. It has a fill port sealed by a silicone bung, a mouthpiece shaped for comfortable lips-on use, and a window or line that lets you see roughly how much e-liquid is left. Keep an eye on that level, because running a coil dry is the quickest way to shorten its life. Where your pod includes an airflow control, remember that more open airflow gives a looser, cooler draw and less airflow gives a tighter, warmer one.

Build quality is generally good for the price tier. The weak points on any pod kit are the same: silicone seals can harden over months, and the contacts between the pod and the body need to stay clean. Wipe the contacts with a dry cotton bud occasionally, never push a pod in with wet hands or a wet base, and avoid dropping the device onto hard floors. A small lanyard loop or a silicone sleeve is a cheap way to protect the body if you are rough on your gear.

It is worth saying that the Nord C is not a premium-metal flagship. It is a practical, everyday device built to be used, refilled and replaced when the battery eventually fades. For most users, that is exactly the right balance between durability and cost.

E-liquid flavours that suit the Nord C

The kit itself has no flavour, since the taste comes entirely from the e-liquid you put in the pod. The good news is that the Nord C handles a wide range of profiles, from sharp menthol to creamy desserts. Here are eight popular flavour styles and how they behave in a pod kit of this type.

• Classic tobacco: a natural pick for people moving away from cigarettes. Tobacco liquids are often a little thinner and taste best on a standard coil at low to mid power, where the flavour stays dry and earthy rather than sweet and burnt.
• Menthol and mint: spearmint, peppermint and strong menthol liquids work well on mesh coils, which keep the cooling effect clean. Very strong menthol is harsh at high wattage, so stay in the lower half of the power range.
• Strawberry and berry blends: sweet berry liquids have plenty of flavour but a lot of sweetener, which gunks up coils faster. Expect to change the coil a little sooner, and keep the power moderate.
• Ice fruit: watermelon ice, blue raspberry ice and similar combinations are a staple. The coolant is dependable on a mesh coil, and they are comfortable at mid power.
• Tropical fruit: mango, pineapple, passionfruit and lychee blends are juicy and bright. They suit a slightly warmer vape, so lean towards the middle of the wattage range.
• Dessert and custard: vanilla, custard and biscuit profiles are rich and thick. Use a 50/50 mix, take slow draws and prime the coil well, otherwise the sugary base can cause spluttering.
• Cola and soft drink: these have a distinctive fizz and citrus kick that stays clear on lower power and a standard coil.
• Sweet candy and bubblegum: fun and easy to vape, but heavy sweeteners shorten coil life, so budget for coils accordingly.

A few habits make flavour switching painless. Do not top up a half-empty pod with a different flavour, because the old taste lingers in the cotton and the two profiles muddy together. If you want to change flavour, empty the pod, rinse it with cool water, let it dry fully, and ideally fit a fresh coil. Some vapers keep a spare pod or two so they can alternate between a daytime fruit and an evening dessert without wasting liquid.

Lighter, dryer flavours like tobacco and mint tend to last longest on one coil, while syrupy dessert and candy blends are the hardest on it. If you vape a lot of sweet liquids, you will reach for the coil box more often, and that is normal rather than a fault.

Battery life and charging

The Nord C uses a built-in 1800mAh lithium battery. In practical terms, that is enough for a full day of light to moderate use on a single charge. If you vape heavily at higher wattage, expect to top up once during the day. The rough relationship is simple: the harder you push the output, the faster the battery empties. At 15W to 20W you will get far longer between charges than at 40W or above, so reducing the wattage is the easiest way to extend running time.

Charging is done through the USB Type-C port. Most chargers and cables you already own will work, and Type-C is reversible, so there is no fumbling in the dark. A full charge typically takes somewhere in the region of an hour to an hour and a half with a decent 1A to 2A adapter, depending on how flat the battery is. Charging from a computer USB port is slower but perfectly acceptable.

To keep the battery in good shape and stay safe, follow these guidelines:

• Use a quality charger. A standard 5V phone-type adapter from a reputable brand is ideal. Avoid unbranded fast chargers of unknown origin.
• Do not charge unattended on soft surfaces. Never charge under a pillow, on a bed or on a sofa cushion where heat can build up.
• Do not leave it charging for long periods once full. Unplug when the indicator shows a full charge instead of leaving it on all night.
• Avoid heat and cold extremes. A hot car dashboard or a freezing windowsill is a poor place to store a lithium battery.
• Keep metal objects away. Loose coins and keys in the same pocket can scratch the body, so use a case or a separate pocket.
• Stop using it if the body swells, becomes hot to the touch or smells odd. Move it somewhere safe and away from anything flammable, and contact us or the manufacturer.

Over time, every lithium battery loses some capacity. A typical cell lasts a few hundred full charge cycles before you notice a drop in running time, which for most users translates to a year or more of regular use. Because the battery is built in, you cannot swap it out. When the device finally struggles to hold a charge, it needs to be recycled rather than binned.

Recycling in the UK: vapes, batteries and chargers are electrical waste and should never go in household bins or general recycling. Take the kit to a council recycling centre, or use the in-store take-back schemes that many vape retailers and larger shops offer. Retailers that sell vaping products are expected to accept old devices for recycling, so there is almost always a drop-off point close to home. Remove any e-liquid from the pod before you hand it over.

Pod and coil technology

The pod and coil are where the vapour is made, so a basic understanding of them pays off. The Nord C pod holds up to 2ml of e-liquid, which is the maximum tank size permitted for refillable nicotine products sold in the UK. The coil sits in the base of the pod. It is a small heating element wrapped around or built into an absorbent cotton wick. When you draw, the battery heats the coil, the cotton feeds liquid to it, and the liquid turns to vapour.

SMOK's Nord-family coils come in two broad styles, and choosing between them is the single biggest influence on how the kit feels:

• Standard round-wire coils (higher resistance, roughly 0.8 ohm and above): these suit a tighter, mouth-to-lung draw similar to a cigarette. They run well at lower wattage, are gentle on the battery and pair naturally with nicotine salts. Flavour is good, though the vapour is cooler and lighter.
• Mesh coils (lower resistance, roughly 0.6 ohm or lower): a flat sheet of mesh gives a much larger heating area. The result is quicker heat-up, warmer vapour, a fuller flavour and a looser draw. They need a bit more power and use more e-liquid.

Always check the resistance and model code printed on the base of the coil before you buy replacements. Different pod families look similar but are not interchangeable, and the compatibility list on the product page is the quickest way to confirm which coils fit. Avoid very cheap, unbranded clones, which can have inconsistent resistance, poor wicking and a higher risk of leaking.

Priming a new coil is the most important habit in pod vaping. Before the first puff, drip a few drops of e-liquid directly onto the exposed cotton holes in the coil, fill the pod, and wait five to ten minutes so the cotton is fully saturated. Skipping this step is the usual cause of a burnt taste in the first few puffs, and a coil that gets burnt on day one rarely recovers.

How long does a coil last? It depends on use. A coil usually lasts between one and three weeks of everyday vaping, or roughly two to five pods of liquid. Sweet, syrupy liquids and high wattage shorten that, while tobacco and menthol at lower power extend it. Signs that it is time for a fresh coil include a flat or slightly burnt taste, gurgling, weak vapour even on a full battery, and a darkening of the cotton. Replacing the coil is cheap and takes seconds, and doing it promptly keeps flavour consistent.

Nicotine strength guidance and UK rules

Choosing the right nicotine strength is the most important decision for anyone using a kit to replace cigarettes. In the UK, nicotine e-liquid is capped at 20mg/ml (2%) and refillable bottles are limited to 10ml, while tanks and pods are capped at 2ml. These rules apply to all nicotine vaping products, not only disposables, so you will not find a higher-strength refill legally sold here. The rules exist to protect users, and they also keep the strengths sold here consistent from brand to brand.

There are two main types of nicotine liquid, and they behave very differently in a kit like the Nord C:

• Nicotine salts (nic salts): typically sold at 10mg and 20mg. They deliver nicotine smoothly and quickly with less throat harshness, which is why they are favoured by people switching from cigarettes. They suit lower-wattage vaping and higher-resistance coils.
• Freebase nicotine: usually sold at 3mg, 6mg, 12mg and sometimes 18mg. It has a stronger throat hit at a given strength and suits lower-resistance coils and higher-wattage, cloud-oriented vaping.

As a starting point, these pairings tend to work well:

• Heavy smokers (around 20 cigarettes a day or more): 20mg nic salt on a standard coil at low wattage, or 12mg freebase if you prefer a looser draw.
• Moderate smokers (around 10 to 15 a day): 10mg to 20mg nic salt, or 6mg to 12mg freebase.
• Light or social smokers: 10mg nic salt, or 3mg to 6mg freebase.
• Former smokers who want to cut down: step down gradually, for example from 20mg to 10mg to 5mg, and eventually try a nicotine-free liquid.

Remember that wattage and nicotine interact. A strong nic salt at 40W or more is harsh and can leave you light-headed, because you are drawing in a large, hot, nicotine-rich cloud. If you push the Nord C towards the top of its power range, drop to a lower strength. Equally, if you feel unsatisfied and keep reaching for the device every few minutes, your strength may be too low rather than your wattage too high.

Signs the strength is too high include dizziness, nausea, a racing heart or a burning throat. Stop, drink some water, and move to a lower strength. Signs it is too low include constant puffing and lingering cravings. If you are not currently a smoker or vaper, do not start, as nicotine is addictive. For personal advice about quitting smoking, the NHS and local stop-smoking services offer free, evidence-based support.

Who the SMOK Nord C is for, and who should skip it

No single kit suits everyone, and we would rather you buy the right device than the first one you see. Here is an honest breakdown of who tends to be happy with the Nord C, and who might be better served elsewhere.

The Nord C is a good fit for:

• Smokers switching to vaping. The combination of a tight-draw coil and nicotine salts gives a cigarette-like experience, and the pod format keeps things simple.
• Anyone coming off disposables. If you have been using single-use vapes and want a device you can refill, the Nord C is an easy step, with a similar size and the added ability to choose your own flavour.
• Vapers who want a middle ground. With variable output up to around 50W, you can start low and gradually explore a looser, warmer draw as your preferences develop.
• People who value good battery life in a small body. The 1800mAh cell comfortably covers most days.
• Budget-conscious users. The ongoing cost of coils and liquid is modest, and the device itself costs far less than a premium mod.

You might prefer something else if you are:

• A cloud chaser. A 2ml pod and compact body are not built for huge vapour production. A sub-ohm tank on a larger mod is the right tool for that style.
• Looking for a fully hands-off, no-maintenance experience. Refillable kits need filling, priming and coil changes. If you want to open a box and throw it away at the end, that route is no longer available in the UK, and a sealed prefilled pod system may be simpler.
• A heavy user who wants all-day runtime without charging. At high wattage the battery will need topping up, so consider carrying a power bank or a spare device.
• Someone who enjoys deep customisation. If you like building your own coils or adjusting temperature curves, a rebuildable setup is a better home.
• A non-smoker, under 18, or pregnant. Vaping products are for adult smokers and ex-smokers only. It is illegal to sell them to anyone under 18, and nicotine is not recommended during pregnancy.

If you are undecided, ask yourself two questions. First, do I want to refill and maintain my vape? Second, do I want the option of more power than a basic pod offers? If both answers are yes, the Nord C is a sensible candidate. If either is no, there are simpler or more powerful options that might suit you better.

How to set up, fill and use the kit

Getting the Nord C running takes about ten minutes, most of which is waiting for the coil to soak. Follow these steps in order for the cleanest start.

• Step 1: Unbox and check. Make sure you have the device, pod, coil and charging cable. Check the pod for visible damage and the silicone bung for correct seating.
• Step 2: Fit the coil. If the coil is not already installed, push it firmly into the base of the pod until it sits flush. A loose coil is a common cause of leaks.
• Step 3: Prime the coil. Drip a few drops of e-liquid onto the cotton openings on the side of the coil, so that the wick is visibly damp.
• Step 4: Fill the pod. Open the silicone bung, tilt the pod, and fill slowly down the inside wall. Stop at the maximum fill line or just below it, and be careful not to flood the central airflow tube. Close the bung firmly.
• Step 5: Wait. Let the filled pod stand upright for five to ten minutes so the cotton can saturate fully.
• Step 6: Charge the device. Give the battery a full charge before the first proper session if it arrives low.
• Step 7: Insert the pod and power on. Push the pod into the body until it clicks into place. Switch the device on using the button sequence in the manual, then check the indicator.
• Step 8: Take gentle first puffs. Start at a low wattage, around 15W to 20W for a standard coil, and take a few short, slow draws. Increase the output a little at a time if the vapour feels cool or thin.

For everyday use, there are a few simple habits that keep the kit trouble-free. Refill before the pod is completely empty, because vaping on a dry wick burns the coil. Wipe the mouthpiece and the contacts occasionally. Switch the device off or lock it when it is in your pocket or bag so it cannot fire by accident. Keep the kit upright when not in use, and avoid leaving it in direct sunlight, as heat expands the liquid and can cause seepage.

When the pod needs cleaning, for example when you change flavour, remove it from the body, empty and rinse it with lukewarm water, and let it dry completely before refilling. Never use hot water or soap, and never rinse the coil if you intend to keep using it. Instead, replace the coil when you change flavour for the cleanest results.

Finally, store e-liquid and spare pods out of the reach of children and pets. Nicotine liquids are toxic if swallowed or spilled on skin, so wash your hands after refilling and wipe up any drips straight away.

Troubleshooting common problems

Most issues with pod kits come down to a handful of causes, and almost all of them can be solved at home in a minute or two. Here are the common ones and their fixes.

• Burnt or harsh taste. Usually a dry or worn coil. Check the liquid level, give the pod a few minutes to saturate, and lower the wattage. If the taste persists after a refill and a rest, replace the coil.
• Gurgling or spitting. Excess liquid is reaching the airflow path, often from overfilling. Tip the pod, tap out the excess, and wipe the mouthpiece. Fill to just below the line next time.
• Leaking from the pod. Check that the coil is pushed in all the way, the silicone bung is seated properly and the pod is not overfilled. Avoid very thin liquids at very low power, and store the device upright. A leaking pod caused by a cracked body needs replacing.
• Weak vapour or flat flavour. Possible causes include a low battery, a tired coil, a liquid that is too thick or an under-primed wick. Charge the device, try a lower VG liquid, and replace the coil if it has been in use for more than two weeks.
• Device will not fire. Confirm that it is switched on, that the pod is fully inserted and that the contacts are clean. Remove the pod, wipe both sets of contacts with a dry cotton bud and reinsert. If a fault message appears, check that the coil is seated properly.
• Short-circuit or no-atomiser message. The device cannot detect a working coil. Reseat the pod, check the coil is not loose, and try a new coil in case the old one has failed.
• Not charging. Try a different cable and adapter, make sure the Type-C port is free of lint or debris, and check that the plug is fully inserted. A very flat battery may take a few minutes to show a charging indicator.
• Battery drains quickly. Lower the wattage, charge fully, and remember that older batteries hold less. If the runtime has dropped a lot over a year or more, the battery is probably ageing.
• Sticky residue or sweet film on the mouthpiece. This is condensation and sugar from the liquid. Wipe it off with a damp tissue and dry it.

A good rule of thumb is to change one thing at a time. If you alter the coil, liquid and wattage at once, you cannot tell which fixed the problem. Also keep a spare coil and a spare pod at home so that a fault never leaves you reaching for cigarettes.

If you work through these steps and the device still misbehaves, particularly if it shows signs of heat, swelling or smell, stop using it and get in touch. Do not attempt to open the body or force components, and never try to repair a lithium battery.

Value for money and running costs

A kit should be judged on what it costs over months, not on the sticker price alone. The Nord C sits in the accessible end of the refillable pod market, and its running costs are among the easiest to predict. The three recurring costs are e-liquid, coils and the occasional replacement pod.

• E-liquid: a 10ml bottle is the standard UK size, and a typical bottle costs a few pounds. At moderate use, one bottle lasts several days to a week.
• Coils: replacements are sold in multipacks, and each coil lasts one to three weeks. Budget for one or two coils per month if you vape daily.
• Pods: a pod is a long-lived part and only needs replacing if it cracks or the seal wears out, which is infrequent.

Compared with smoking, the saving is large. A pack of 20 cigarettes in the UK now costs well over fifteen pounds, so a daily smoker spends many hundreds of pounds a month on tobacco. A refillable kit with e-liquid and coils typically costs a small fraction of that. Compared with single-use vapes, which are now banned in Great Britain, the economics are even clearer: a disposable was designed to be thrown away after a few hundred puffs, while a refillable kit keeps going with cheap refills for as long as the battery holds.

The other side of value is the environment. Every disposable thrown away took a lithium cell with it. A refillable kit reduces that waste substantially because you only discard coils, small pieces of cotton and metal, and recycle the device itself at the end of its life.

Where could the Nord C cost you more than expected? Heavy use at high wattage empties pods and coils faster. Sugary liquids shorten coil life. Buying very expensive e-liquids can also change the maths, as can replacing the device every few months instead of letting it age. If you keep wattage moderate, use reputable liquids and replace coils on a schedule, the numbers stay low.

We would summarise the value case like this. For a smoker switching or a disposable user moving to a refillable device, the Nord C offers a lot of capability for a modest outlay. For an experienced vaper who wants more power and customisation, the value is lower simply because the kit is not designed for that role. Match the tool to the job, and the cost per day of vaping can be very low indeed.

How the Nord C compares with similar pod kits

The market for refillable pod kits is crowded, and fair comparisons help more than marketing. Below, we look at how the Nord C compares with a few popular alternatives. Specifications change between versions, so treat the figures as approximate and check the current listing for each product.

• Vaporesso XROS series: these are slim, simple pod kits with a cartridge-style pod and a gentler learning curve. They are typically more compact and lighter than the Nord C, which makes them easy to carry, but battery sizes in the base models tend to be smaller and the output more limited. If you want the smallest and simplest option, the XROS line is a fair choice. If you want more power headroom and a larger battery, the Nord C has the edge.
• Uwell Caliburn series: well known for tight, cigarette-like draws and good flavour in a compact body. Many Caliburn models have smaller batteries than the Nord C and fixed output, so they are simpler but less adjustable. For a pure mouth-to-lung experience at low power, a Caliburn is a strong rival. The Nord C is better for anyone who wants to turn the power up.
• SMOK Novo series: SMOK's own simpler line. Novo kits are small, easy to use and well suited to beginners. The Nord C is the step up, with a larger battery and variable output, so it makes sense if you outgrow a Novo.
• Geekvape Wenax series: a popular alternative with good coil options and a solid reputation for flavour. Some Wenax models are similar in size to the Nord C and offer comparable features, so the choice often comes down to personal preference for design and coil style.
• Other SMOK Nord kits (such as the Nord 4 or Nord X): these offer more power, bigger pods or additional features at a higher price. If you want more output or capacity, they are worth a look. If you prefer a lighter, simpler device, the Nord C is easier to live with.

In short, the Nord C does not try to be the smallest, the most powerful or the cheapest kit in the market. What it offers is balance: a solid battery for its size, adjustable power for flexibility, and a coil range wide enough to cover both tight and airy draws. Where it falls short is at the extremes. It is not as pocketable as the slimmest pods, and it does not have the output or tank volume of a larger mod.

If you already own a compatible SMOK device, consider whether you need another one. If your existing kit still works well and your coils are still available, there is little reason to switch. If you are new, or your current device is a basic starter you have outgrown, the Nord C is a reasonable and sensible upgrade.

When comparing any pod kit, look past the headline battery size and consider coil availability, pod design, ease of refilling and local support. A good device with hard-to-find coils quickly becomes a frustration, and this is one area where SMOK's wide distribution helps. We stock a full range of Nord coils and pods alongside the kits, so you will not struggle to find replacements.
