Vape Pods

Pod kits were developed as a simple alternative to classic vape kits, quickly becoming a popular choice amongst vapers. They work in the same way as a traditional kit, but substitute a glass tank for a plastic pod. The result is a kit that’s smaller and easier to use. Power is created by the kit’s battery which is then converted into heat by the pod’s coil, which turns the e-liquid inside the pod into vapour. If you’re new to pods we recommend you take a look at our dedicated beginner’s guide to pod kits.

Pods and tanks are essentially the same thing in that they both hold e-liquid and heat it into vapour. There are, however, some differences between the two. Tanks are often interchangeable as they use a 510 thread, allowing them to be paired with lots of different vape devices. Pods on the other hand are generally created for specific kits. As well, a tank is very long-lasting but pods are usually either single use or have a limited lifespan. Finally, pod kits are designed to be small, simple and discreet, whereas tank kits tend to be much larger with more features to learn and understand.

As the name suggests, a prefilled pod arrives already filled with e-liquid. They require zero maintenance on your part and can be replaced with another one when empty. Prefilled pod kits are by far the most convenient type of vape kit, but they are not the cheapest option. That being said their simplicity means they are highly recommended to both beginner vapers and first-time switchers.

Giving you the opportunity to pair your vape kit with your favourite e-liquid, Refillable pods can be adapted to suit your preferences when it comes to flavour and nicotine strength. Refillable pod kits are the more cost-effective option, but in return they require a little more effort. They will have to be regularly filled and either the coil, or the pod itself, will have to be replaced on a regular basis.

There’s plenty to learn about pod kits and a little knowledge goes a long way. For more information we recommend you check out our pod vape guides. Alternatively, our customer service team are experts when it comes to pods and all things vaping, so they're always ready to lend a hand.

Picking the right pod kit comes down to more than just prefilled or refillable. There are a growing number of pod kits from top manufacturers such as Aspire and Innokin creating quality kits. There’s also the choice of sub ohm or MTL models, so you can find a kit that delivers your perfect vape. With kits that include features such as inhale activation and button activation also on offer.

If you’re a beginner vaper, you’ll most likely be looking for a kit that replicates a cigarette. If this is the case a mouth to lung pod kit would be the best choice for you. It produces a small amount of vapour and allows you to inhale like you would a cigarette. If you’re already using a kit that produces a large amount of vapour and are looking for a smaller option, then a sub ohm pod kit is a good choice.

Pod kits are some of the simplest vape kits available, if you’re looking for one that has a more natural feel then we recommend an inhale activated pod kit, they have no buttons or menu systems and let you experience an inhale similar to a cigarette. Button activated pod kits, on the other hand, have an added element of safety as you’ll be able to lock the kit when not in use. Also, if you’re used to button-operated vape kits it makes the transition to a pod kit easier.

Aside from different resistances, there are also differences in coils based on their structure, materials used, and the tanks they're intended to be used with.
