Super easy to use, normally one lasts about 2 to 3 days, flavour dulls towards the end but otherwise good
By Gill from Middlesbrough
Love how easy these are to use and how long they last. I’ve got 4-5 uses out of each pod.
Definitely recommend and will be buying again
By M from London
I’ve used two of the pack and after a couple refills they start tasting weird I honestly think I’ll probably keep buying them though because i can use different liquids rather than just pre filled pods
By Np
Everyone I’ve tried had tasted really burnt and makes me cough. I’ve only ever used 50/50 so maybe they just need higher PG. but it led me to think the lemon pie everyone raves about was horrible. Turned out it just tastes bad in these pods.
By Megmog from Bomo
So using these for about 2 weeks and no issues. I rely on the tops heavily and I'm yet to have one burn out and Ive refilled some more than 3 times. Non elfliq flavours work fine in them but the elfliqs themselves taste best in these than other devices. Ive only experienced leaks with these after i either over fill the pod or blow down the pod to clear trapped liquid which both makes sense. other than that Ive had no actual leak issues when using these and Ive go about 9 on the go. They fit snug into the actual device and the plug is easy to pop out and put back in. really happy with these pods.
By Aidan
Out of any non-disposable ecigs ive had this has been my favorite, no issues with leaking and the pods do last (atleast in my experience), flavor really depends on the liquid but it burns nicely
By Anonymous
These are poorly made. They often don’t fit in the elf bar vape properly, and they just fall out. Also they don’t last more than 2-3 refills. They burn out really fast. I wish they did a better alternative for this vape kit, ones with longer lasting coils in the pods that are just made better. It’s letting the whole pod kit down and forcing you to keep buying the pre-filled pods (which I’m guessing is what they want?) but if they made better quality refillable pods I would pay a higher price!
By Dollydaydream from London
Ok I’ve not got a lot of experience with vaping but my opinion is that I really think I should get 5 full refills off each pod but I’m only managing 3 or 4 before they start tasting funky in a bad way or leak.
This was my first pod system and I now have 2 others.
I thought that anyone considering trying a pod system for the first time might like to know that in my limited experience juice bottles outlast pods as I’ve had the same with the other rechargeable vapes I’ve got.
If I figure out in the future what I might be doing wrong, I know I can’t remove this review, but I can put up a second review with further information on how I corrected these issues and extended the lifespan of each pod.
By Steph from Aberdeenshire
So far I'm loving these with the liquid refills I'm finding it much cheaper in the long run and the flavour isn't fading as fast. I really like this product so far but these are my first ones so time will tell. Highly recommended 👌
By Chellbear23 from Uk
A pod could last me a week before I had to change it but now I'm changing it every 3 to 4 days as it just tasted burnt
By Anonymous from Wolverhampton
Bought pack of 3 pods only 3 days ago and each one burnt out in less than a day. Tried all 3 pods with different vape juices and all burnt out in hours. Waste of money.
By Steffie from Bolton UK
I like the idea if refillable pods but I'm afraid I am a little disappointed with these.
The flavour somehow isn't as intense as the disposable vape (even with the elf e-liquid).
I find these leak quite a bit so I feel the pre filled pods are a better option although not as cost effective.
By Rebecca from UK
Not impressed with these initially i thought they were great but now my opinion has altered they leak a lot and burn out so quickly compared to other pods out there for similar devices that I've used these are terrible.
By UK Vaper 2002 from Windsor
These are very cost effective and useful especially if you want to retain the same flavour as elf bars and dramatically decrease how much you spend.
By Arley from Coventry
I was very impressed with this refillable Pod, I don’t like disposables and this is definitely more environmentally friendly easy to use with no spillage and no leaks.
By Big Dawg from N Ireland
These are a great wee thing..very easy to refill..and so far I've only used 2 out of 3 as I've 2 vapes..
By Rob from Cork
It is a little cool pod!Very easy to use and easy to refill it!
Not for chain vape because will burn the cotton.it is like 50/50 juice.If you wana chain vape put juice higher nicotin.
Max 5-6 refill.I did take of it after 5 refill and i did check the coil cotton how looking the cotton.max 6 refill i think.
Very important the liquid level check.Never under min level.That is on pod mark.
If you can do this the pod will be very good frend.
The mate 500 battery fantastic.cheap and always work very well.
The Vapeclub shop is on the top!
I will order again untill the mate 500 is available.
By Faye from Chester
Unfortunately I had the same issue as many others. Burnt out extremely fast or won't draw at all. Really disappointing as I love these and the kit, when it does work!
By Sparky from Scotland
After buying the kit and the prefilled pods I thought i would try the refillables to see if the quality would carry over. First fill no problems although you can't actually see th minimum line once the pod is in place. Second fill and I'm just sucking up juice and it doesn't seem to fire every time. Won't be buying again as very disappointed with the performance.
By Julia from London
I have had the same issue as many on here. All 3 refillable pods tasted of burnt coil pretty much immediately (initial few puffs were ok only). Such a shame, would have been such a great idea and I thought I had found the perfect product, but no. Very disappointing. The pre-filled are ok but I'm not going to use them on principle, feels like that's what they want you to do. Call me a cynic but hey, what do you expect. Moving away fron elf bars in general
By Sarah
I bought the kit with 3 of these and they were rubbish. Tasted burnt super quickly with 3 different flavours. They don't last as long as the elfa pods or the disposable elf bars. Very disappointing and not worth the money.
By H
I was hoping I wouldn't have the same issue as other reviewers, but despite adequate priming and using elf liquid, every pod tasted like awful burnt-out coils. Really disappointed.
By SH from UK
I was glad I bought this item after an awful experience with the pre-filled pods designed to be used with the Elf Bar Mate 500.
These pods are very easy to use and the side fill port is easy to open and simple to use. It comes with a little rubber cap that pulls out and can be moved to the side to refill.
I’ve been using them for a few months now, and yesterday I accidentally pulled off the entire rubber cap from a pod. It was easily reconnected by pushing the rubber bubbly bit back into a tiny hole that sits next to the port. The pod is working fine and hasn’t leaked or separated again since.
I’ve been using 50/50 at 18-20 mg and I find that they last quite a while. I’ve used an entire bottle of blueberry nic salts in one, and have just reopened the second bottle of blueberry, and I’m still putting it in the same pod.
The pre-filled pods come with little rubber caps which are handy to label and use with these (these ones do not come with little rubber caps). I use several pods at once, each containing a different liquid, and each labelled with the name of the liquid it contains. That way, I can select the liquid I want to use at a glance. The rubber caps are also very handy when you want to pop the vape in your pocket or purse, and take it out with you.
I store the pods on a thick piece of paper (on a desk) while they’re not in use, in order to soak up any liquid that leaks from the pod, as while they do not leak a lot, or much, they do at times leak a little. I presume they’re leaking from the bottom, as the liquid stain tends to be underneath the pod. I haven’t found a better solution for safely storing them yet.
I do not know if this is something that is commonly experienced with refillable pods, as these are the first I’ve used.
By Chloe
These are great when you get good ones, I’ve had some last weeks and then some burn out within the first couple days so it’s a bit hit and miss
By Dollydaydream from London
Happy with these pods I’ve had no significant problems so far other than a few small leaks and one that the juice became blocked.
Easy to remove with a rubber glove, a silicone baking sheet or if you can afford it a sheet of Dysem.
By Lenny from Scotland
Very impressed with this Refillable Pod, lasts alot longer than the disposable pods and much cheaper to refill with liquids than disposables.
By Tara
A good alternative to most vape devices that make you buy the tank and coil separately. The coil tends to burn quite quickly however when using non elf bar vape juice, so be careful with that. Makes the juice taste very nice though.
By Missstaceypink13 from West Midlands
Does exactly as it says on the tin, only used one of these for a couple of days and will see how they go but so far I have no complaints. Very easy to use and easily refillable.
By Adam from Lancs
When i first started buying these last summer they were fantastic, each pod would last a week easy and saved me a fortune compared to the singular use vapes bought in shops, but the last 3 or 4 times i have bought a pack of 3 at least 2 have been faulty and the one that did work has burnt out after around a day or 2, i have tried buying 2 new elf bar 500 mate vapes thinking they were the issue but nothing has changed, not sure what has changed in the manufacturing but its ruined a great product
By Meg
Been using this vape kit for a while and buying these refillable pods have saved me so much money. I was previously using the elf bar disposables.. they’re easy to change and perfect for a beginner (like me!)
By Merobinson30 from Northamptonshire
So glad they started doing these. I vape to quite smoking and the disposables just never lasted long enough and we’re getting expensive! I find the pods last over a bottle of liquid so they’re great value for money!
By Ben from London
I brought an elfbar mate 500 when they first got released. and use to use a screwdriver to push the innards out and refill the prefilled pods...it was a hastle but use to re-use the same pod for a good week before having to open another...
Saw they had these up and find the same performance in these as well. Just make sure that you use a thinner liquid as they don't wick well/at all with thicker liquids.
If your constantly puffing on these they can burn out quite quickly...so just give it a break every few puffs ( I have found pulling the pod and giving it a couple of sucks does help it not getting burnt out!)
By Ross from Huddersfield
I have used these a few times now but don't seem to get much taste from them compared to the prefilles pods. It can depend on the juice being used but I would say maybe to try the prefilled if you have the option too.
They also seem to burn our rather quickly but that may just be the way they are designed or due to low juice levels as they need to be filled to a certain amount which is shown on the pods themselves.
By Kachynski
These are fine when they last. But they don't! I've been buying them every once in a while for the past 3 months or so. The quality gets worse every time. Very often 3/3 in a pack are simply duds. They leak a lot and it's annoying, the juice looses its taste (at best) or tastes burnt on the 2nd day which is disgusting. The first packs were ok, some of the pods used to last a week. But now it's just a waste of money, I'm considering to switch to other pod kit.
By RG from Uk
Nice little pods, no leakage, perfect MTL
By Old Smithy from South East
Neat little pods, held liquid well with no leakage! Only thing I would say is that they could do with coming with the same silicon protectors that the disposibles come with to allow you some way to identify what flavour is in the pods! Probably lasted about 6 refills before flavour started to drop off and coil started to die.
By JJK
Very nice alternative to buying prefilled pods. Easy to refill, long lasting.
Sometimes the liquid is not vaporating fully and you can get small drops into the mouth.
By Jen from UK
I bought this along with the rechargeable elf bar as an alternative for disposables, which were starting to become a little expensive for me. I wanted the option of a refillable pod so I could experiment with trying different e-liquid flavours and I am pleased with how easy this is to use and fill up. I didn't want to get a big vape kit as I like the discreetness and ease of use of disposables without the need to fiddle about wqith batteries and changing the cotton etc. Very pleased with this!
By Bethrelf21 from Cornwall
Brilliant product! So easy to refill and use. Would definitely recommend
By Sarah from Coventry
I loved these pods when I first started using them but recently they have been giving a disgusting burnt taste fresh out the packet. Sometimes it will go away after "warming it up" but mainly the burnt taste remains and the pod is unusable! I hope it has been a bad batch otherwise I may have to reconsider the brand.
By Jo from Blackpool
Bought these as I was buying 6/9 pods weekly and hoped to save some money.
I have to agree with some of the other reviews I've read, the coils burn out very quickly.
I feel like the manufacturers probably know this, and is probably to make you either buy more refillable pods, or revert back to prefilled pods.
Very disappointed 😞
By Daz from Essex
I have bought 4 packs of these now and would say 1 out of the 3 in the pack may last longer than 2 days.
Most of the time, they burn out after 2 days if not before, I have even tried keeping the pod filled by at least half and still burnt out. Coils can't be good quality and now looking to try a different brand
By Mags from Derbyshire
I have bought these a few times and with the huge variety of nic salts here they have completely got me off cigs having smoked for over 30 years! I never dreamed i could do it but i just fill the pod before it's empty with whatever i feel like and mix flavours too. Use a 50vg nic salt and these will last ages (i buy 6 every 8 weeks) and although i use other vapes as well i take these to work or when i go out and use them all the time. Just reordered xx
By Alex from London
Was put off buying these initially as some reviews suggest they are inferior to the g2 1.2 coils but after buying a pack and filling it up with Elfliq this is definitely better than the G2 and no leaks either. I would recommend changing pods every 10ml of liquid for best flavour. I can’t speak for how well they work with other brands of liquid but with Elfliq the experience is 10/10 and saves you loads of money over full disposables.
By Mel from Uk
Great little pods, easy out, easy to fill and easy to put back in.
By Tessa from Scotland
These pods are ok. They make the juice taste nice but they don’t last long at all if you’re a heavy smoker like myself. I use a box per week.
By Lauren from Southampton
Really easy efficient pods. No mess, easy to refill & change. Also easy to see when a new one is needed.
Will be getting again when needed!
By RobinGood from Essex
Took me a few attempts to get into the swing of using these, but now I understand them they are great ! Perfect for the price !
1) do not let the fluid go below the line. This will make the pod last longer. I get about 2 weeks out of 1 pod.
2) use the elfbar fluids. Any other fluid doesn’t work and burns the coil out. Also, they taste the best !
3) first 2 times of getting the pods out, you will need to use pliers, but they soften up over time and you can get them out easily.
All the best x
I bought a batch fr Amazon and they were awful. Only buy from vape club or another vape company for safety.
My partner has a more expensive vape, and he prefers this over his own. Can’t recommend it enough.
By Fifi
So it does the job by allowing you to chose what flavours and nicotine strength you want.
However, the pod is extremely hard to get out I have to use my teeth to pull them out. Which causes dents on the mouth piece.
Aesthetically the dents to me don't look nice but it is what is it.
Other than that sick little pods! And I do buy them frequently.
By Anonymous
The coils burn out too quickly. 2-3 refills is the most you're gonna get out of them before it starts tasting burnt. Just stick with disposables
By Pete from Wales
These are much better than buying the disposable pods.
They last a long time, so long as you refill it before the liquid drops below to minimum level line to avoid it burning then I've found one pod will last an entire 10mil bottle of liquid.
By Sue A from Essex
Thought I'd give the refillable pods a go, after using disposable pods for a while. I read the reviews, mixed bag of info. Personally I won't be bothering again. Got probably 2 days of life out of each refill, then it was a horrible burning taste. At least I tried, but definitely going back to the pre filled pods.
By Jay from Wigan
Got at least a week out of my first one. Starts to get a bit bubbly sounding when it’s dying. I’ve been using 50/50 liquid so maybe get better results with higher PG liquid? Loads better value than the pre-filled pods though. Really glad these exist!
By Anonymous
If you're starting and don't want the fuss of coils and that these are pretty good. Sometimes I have to use my teeth to pull out the pod if I can't grip it with my hands well. I found that in my pack, one burnt out after 3-4 refills though, one is fine after 5+ refills, and the other I haven't used yet. You have to make sure the liquid sits in there for a good few minutes before vaping it I've found to prevent it burning quick
By Eoin from Ireland
Very well matched to the output of the device, nice draw and are a far better option than disposables.
By Vicky from Harrogate
Love these and there saving me money. I’m on my 1st pod which I’ve been using for 5 days and still going strong I’m using bar juice and they are great together and taste better than the pre-filled ones.
By Sammie from Milton Keynes
Wanted to try these after using the pre filled ones for a while as I hoped it might save money. I’ve probably used about 4 boxes so far. As per other reviews, some pods get stuck and require pliers to pull them out, while other pods are fine - it must depend on the batch?! I’ve also had some instances where I’ve filled a brand new pod and it’s tasted of nothing but burning battery, really very disgusting!! Vape Club were great and sent me a new box out for free as a gesture of good will. Two of the pods in that box were fine but the third one had the same problem. I’m not entirely sure that these save money any more than the pre filled ones - they do seem to burn out quite fast so I seem to get through them quite fast. I think I’m going to go back to the pre filled pods but worth a try.
By Kelz7683 from Cheshire
I purchase these so I can switch up my ELFBAR to refill the pods with my favourite IVG liquids. The only problem being sometimes they are quite hard to remove and require a bit of force I have to use tweezers and they have scratched my ELFBAR because of it but then you get batches that just easily pull out. Due to the fact you can refill them if you get them out that’s what reflects my view.
By Nathan from Derby
Absolute waste of money. Each pod lasts around a day. They burn out far too quickly. Changing the pods each day works out cheaper than the disposables but factoring into account delivery etc, its just as easy to go to the shop and get a disposable. Don't waste your money or time with these
By Vikki from South Shields
I usually get the pre fill pods but thought id try these refillable ones as it was costing me so much. Work just as it says will definitely be buying again
