What are replaceable pods for vapes?

Vape pods, also known as vape pod cartridges or pod refills, are the replaceable component of vape pod kits which house the coil and a tank for holding e-liquid. They come in a few different types, including:

  • Refillable: A refillable vape pod cartridge is typically sold empty and can be filled with up to 2ml of an e-liquid of your choice. 
  • Pre-filled: A pre-filled vape pod cartridge will already hold e-liquid – when this runs out, you will need to replace the pod cartridge (not the pod vape kit).
  • Replaceable coil: Some pod cartridges have replaceable coils, meaning that you can take out just the coil and replace it, while continuing to use the same pod cartridge.
  • Non-replaceable coil: Where the coil is non-replaceable, you will need to replace the pod cartridge (not the pod vape kit) when it burns out.

Should you get pre-filled pods or refillable? The answer entirely depends on your personal preferences!

A pre-filled vape pod is ideal for those looking for a quick and easy solution to vaping – when you run out of liquid, you can simply eject the cartridge and put on another one! However, this does mean you can get through them more quickly; as a type of vaping tank, vape pod cartridges are legally restricted to 2ml capacity.

A refillable vape pod gives you the flexibility of choosing what e-liquid you want to use, meaning you can customise your vaping experience to your flavour and nicotine strength preferences. You will also be able to buy larger 10ml bottles (or shortfills if you prefer to mix your own e-liquid, which come in 50ml, 100ml and 200ml options), so you won’t run out as quickly.
