Pod Vape Kits

Pod vape kits are rechargeable vape devices that use replaceable pods – which contain the e-liquid needed to produce vapour. These vape kits come with either prefilled pods or refillable pods – with refillable pods allowing e-liquid to be added when needed. Typically, these kits are designed for mouth-to-lung (MTL) or restricted-direct-to-lung (RDTL) vaping, though some models offer a direct-to-lung (DTL) experience, depending on the pod and coil resistance.

These kits use closed pods that are already pre-loaded with e-liquid on purchase. The pods usually contain nic salt e-liquid ranging from 0mg (nicotine-free) to 20mg nicotine strengths. Once the pods are empty of vape juice, these can be replaced with new ones from a fresh refill pack. Especially popular with new vapers, these kits are ready to use with minimal setup required. These devices typically offer a mouth-to-lung vape with a focus on flavour over vapour production.

Big puff devices are prefilled pod kits that offer more puffs than a standard device. Designed for long-term vaping, the kits often include a refill container that automatically tops up the pod with e-liquid – allowing for extended use without the regular pod replacements.

These pod kits are designed for those who want more variety in their vape. Refillable kits usually come with empty pods, giving you the freedom to use a wider choice of e-liquid flavours and strengths. These kits usually require more maintenance than prefilled devices, with e-liquid, pod and coil replacements needed over time.

Over time, you will usually need to replace your pod and/or coil, depending on your device.

As prefilled kits use a closed pod system, the pods can’t be topped up with e-liquid and will need to be replaced once empty. This is usually very easy to do, requiring the old pod to be removed and then replaced with a new one. Big puff devices usually require the pod and refill container to be attached together before inserting them into the kit.

Depending on your device, refillable pods can use built-in or replaceable coils. The coil resistance will often affect the amount of vapour and the vaping style the pod is suited to, so it’s important to choose an e-liquid that is compatible with the pod and coil used.

Your pod or coil’s lifespan will vary depending on how often you vape, your e-liquid type and the device you’re using. You may need to replace your pod or coil if you notice reduced vapour, a change in flavour or a dry, burnt taste. If you’re using refillable pods with replacement coils, then only the coil needs to be replaced, while pods using built-in coils will need the entire pod changing.

Both pod vape kits and mod kits are rechargeable devices that come with their own differences, including features and how they are used. Pod kits are generally more compact and rely on pods to hold e-liquid, while mod kits are sub-ohm devices that are generally larger, use tanks for e-liquid and have more customisation settings. Here is a breakdown of the key differences between the two devices:

• Size – Generally compact and pocket-sized, making them easy to carry around. 
• Pods – These are either prefilled or refillable and contain e-liquid and a coil.
• Settings – Usually have fewer controls and adjustment settings
• Vaping Styles – These kits are predominantly used for mouth-to-lung or restricted-direct-to-lung vaping, though some models also support direct-to-lung vaping.
• Maintenance – Typically require less maintenance than traditional mod kits
• Typical User – Those looking for a compact, easy-to-use device

• Size – Usually larger and more robust than pod kits
• Tanks – Use refillable tanks that can be filled with e-liquid, and hold built-in or replaceable coils
• Settings – Normally have a much wider choice of settings, often including adjustable wattage, airflow, temperature control and customisable power.
• Vaping Styles – Most suited for direct-to-lung vaping and bigger vapour production
• Maintenance – Usually require more maintenance than pod kits, including tank refills and coil replacements. Some kits need tank cleaning and other part replacements over time.
• Typical User – Those seeking greater customisation and control
