Compatibility and What's Included
What comes in the box: The PIXL 5K Prefilled Pod Kit includes the rechargeable device, one 2ml prefilled pod in your chosen flavour, and one 4ml refill container in the same flavour. No USB-C cable is included in the kit — any standard USB-C cable is compatible with the charging port. The device colour matches the flavour selected.
Pod compatibility: The PIXL 5K device is compatible with PIXL 5K replacement pods only. It is not compatible with pods from other brands or from other PIXL product lines. Replacement pods are available in 16 flavours — all 10 kit flavours plus Mr Blue, Strawberry Burst, Juicy Peach, Hawaiian Oasis, Strawberry Raspberry Ice, and Strawberry Raspberry Cherry.
PIXL 5K vs PIXL 3500: The PIXL 5K and PIXL 3500 are separate devices with different and incompatible pod formats. PIXL 5K pods will not fit the PIXL 3500 device, and PIXL 3500 pods will not fit the PIXL 5K device. The PIXL 5K delivers up to 5,000 puffs per pod set from 6ml of e-liquid; the PIXL 3500 delivers fewer puffs from a smaller e-liquid format. Always confirm the product name matches your device before purchasing replacement pods.
Replacement pods vs kit: The PIXL 5K Prefilled Pod Kit is a complete kit — device plus first pod set. PIXL 5K replacement pods are sold separately as pod-and-refill sets only, with no device included. If you already own a PIXL 5K device, purchase replacement pods only. If you are starting from scratch, purchase the complete kit.
FAQs
What is the PIXL 5K Prefilled Pod Kit?
The PIXL 5K Prefilled Pod Kit is a rechargeable prefilled pod vaping system from PIXL. Each kit includes a rechargeable device, a 2ml prefilled pod, and a 4ml refill container — 6ml of 20mg nicotine salt e-liquid in total, delivering up to 5,000 puffs. The 1.1Ω mesh coil and 50/50 VG/PG formula are matched for reliable MTL vaping. It is not a disposable device — the battery recharges via USB-C and pods are replaced when exhausted.
How many puffs does the PIXL 5K give?
The PIXL 5K Prefilled Pod Kit delivers up to 5,000 puffs per pod set — from the combined 6ml of e-liquid (2ml prefilled pod plus 4ml refill container). Actual puff count depends on draw length and frequency of use. The 1.1Ω mesh coil helps maintain more consistent flavour across the pod set (usage dependent).
What is the difference between the PIXL 5K and a disposable vape?
The PIXL 5K is a rechargeable pod kit — the device is reused and the battery charges via USB-C. When the pod set runs out, only the pod and refill container are replaced, not the device. A disposable vape is a single-use product discarded entirely when exhausted. The PIXL 5K can reduce ongoing cost and waste compared with single-use disposables (usage dependent), while maintaining the same convenience of a prefilled format.
How does the 2ml + 4ml pod system work?
Each PIXL 5K pod set contains a 2ml prefilled pod and a 4ml refill container. The 4ml refill automatically tops up the 2ml pod as e-liquid is consumed — no manual refilling required at any stage. Once both the pod and refill container are exhausted, signalled by a noticeable drop in flavour or vapour, the entire pod set is replaced as a single unit. A fresh set clicks in and vaping continues immediately.
What coil does the PIXL 5K use?
Every PIXL 5K pod uses a 1.1Ω mesh coil — confirmed from supplier documentation. Mesh coil technology distributes heat more evenly across the coil surface, helping to deliver more consistent flavour and vapour across the pod set (usage dependent). The coil is sealed inside the pod and replaced automatically with every pod set swap — no separate coil purchases required.
What flavours does the PIXL 5K kit come in?
Ten flavours are available as complete PIXL 5K Prefilled Pod Kits, each in a colour-coded device: Cherry Ice, Lemon & Lime, Pineapple Ice, Blueberry Raspberry, Blueberry Sour Razz, Blue Razz Gummy Bear, Fresh Mint, Hub Bub, Strawberry Hub Bub, and Rainbow Candy. Sixteen flavours are available as replacement pods — including six additional options not in the kit range. All kit flavours are linked in the flavour list above.
What nicotine strength is the PIXL 5K?
All PIXL 5K pods contain 20mg (2%) nicotine salt in a 50/50 VG/PG formula. Nicotine salt is commonly chosen by adult ex-smokers and those switching from disposable vapes, and is well suited to MTL vaping. The 50/50 VG/PG ratio is matched to the 1.1Ω mesh coil for reliable MTL performance. Currently, 20mg is the only nicotine strength available for the PIXL 5K system.
Are PIXL 5K pods replaceable?
Yes. When a pod set is exhausted, replace it with any PIXL 5K replacement pod. Replacement pods are available in all ten kit flavours plus six additional options: Mr Blue, Strawberry Burst, Juicy Peach, Hawaiian Oasis, Strawberry Raspberry Ice, and Strawberry Raspberry Cherry. All replacement pods use 20mg nicotine salt and the same 1.1Ω mesh coil as the kit pod set.
When should I replace my PIXL 5K pod?
Replace the pod set when you notice a noticeable drop in flavour intensity or vapour volume. Do not replace based on the appearance of the 4ml refill container alone — the 2ml pod will still contain some e-liquid once the refill container appears empty. The correct signal is sensory: when the flavour weakens or the vapour thins, the 2ml pod itself is running low and it is time to replace the full pod set.
How do I set up the PIXL 5K for the first time?
Remove all packaging. Take the 2ml prefilled pod and insert it into the 4ml refill container until it clicks. Insert the combined pod-and-refill assembly into the rechargeable device. Wait a few seconds for the e-liquid to saturate the 1.1Ω mesh coil — this helps reduce the chance of dry hits. Inhale to begin vaping — draw-activated, no button required. The full 6-step setup guide is above.
Is the PIXL 5K draw-activated or does it have a fire button?
The PIXL 5K is draw-activated — inhale through the mouthpiece to fire the device. There is no fire button. This reduces the chance of accidental activation in a pocket or bag. The device is MTL (mouth-to-lung), producing a tight, cigarette-like draw. No settings or adjustments are required — the device is ready to use once the pod set is installed.
How do I charge the PIXL 5K?
The PIXL 5K charges via USB-C. The exact battery capacity (mAh) is not published in Vapourcore's supplier documentation, so charging time will vary. Charge when the device produces noticeably less vapour than usual, or before extended use. Any standard USB-C cable is compatible with the charging port. No cable is included in the kit.
What is the PG/VG ratio of the PIXL 5K?
All PIXL 5K pods use a 50/50 VG/PG ratio — confirmed from supplier documentation. The 50/50 blend is matched to the 1.1Ω mesh coil and MTL draw style, producing a clean, precise flavour delivery. Higher-VG blends are typically used in sub-ohm, higher-power devices; the 50/50 ratio in the PIXL 5K is specifically suited to its resistance and vaping style.
Is the PIXL 5K the same as the PIXL 3500?
No. The PIXL 5K and PIXL 3500 are separate devices with different and incompatible pod formats. PIXL 5K pods will not fit the PIXL 3500 device, and PIXL 3500 pods will not fit the PIXL 5K. The PIXL 5K delivers up to 5,000 puffs per pod set from 6ml of e-liquid; the PIXL 3500 delivers fewer puffs from a smaller format. Always confirm the product name matches your device before purchasing replacement pods.
Can I use any pods with the PIXL 5K device?
No. The PIXL 5K device is compatible with PIXL 5K replacement pods only. It is not compatible with pods from other brands or from other PIXL product lines, including the PIXL 3500. Using non-compatible pods is not recommended. PIXL 5K replacement pods are available in 16 flavours — all kit flavours plus Mr Blue, Strawberry Burst, Juicy Peach, Hawaiian Oasis, Strawberry Raspberry Ice, and Strawberry Raspberry Cherry.
What are the dimensions and weight of the PIXL 5K?
The PIXL 5K kit measures 40mm x 135mm x 27mm and weighs 72g — confirmed from supplier documentation. Neither dimension nor weight is commonly listed by other retailers for this product. The replacement pod unit (pod-only pack, no device) measures 34mm x 125mm x 27mm and weighs 36g. The kit is compact and lightweight for a rechargeable pod system in this puff count category.
Is the PIXL 5K TPD compliant?
Yes. The PIXL 5K Prefilled Pod Kit is fully UK TPD compliant. The 2ml prefilled pod stays within the UK's legal e-liquid limit. The 4ml refill container is a closed, sealed system compliant with UK regulations. All components carry MHRA ECID registrations — Device ECID: 10704-26-00642. Genuine PIXL stock is available at Vapourcore.
How many flavours are available as PIXL 5K replacement pods?
Sixteen flavours are available as PIXL 5K replacement pods. This includes all 10 kit flavours (Cherry Ice, Lemon & Lime, Pineapple Ice, Blueberry Raspberry, Blueberry Sour Razz, Blue Razz Gummy Bear, Fresh Mint, Hub Bub, Strawberry Hub Bub, Rainbow Candy) plus six pod-only flavours: Mr Blue, Strawberry Burst, Juicy Peach, Hawaiian Oasis, Strawberry Raspberry Ice, and Strawberry Raspberry Cherry.
Is the PIXL 5K good for someone switching from smoking?
The PIXL 5K is a 20mg nicotine salt MTL device — a format commonly chosen by adult ex-smokers. The MTL draw style (tight, cigarette-like inhale) and 20mg nicotine salt are the same format used by many who switch from cigarettes. The prefilled pod format removes the need to handle loose e-liquid. Whether the PIXL 5K is appropriate for any individual depends on personal preference and circumstances — if you have a medical condition or are taking medication, seek advice from a healthcare professional before use.
Does the PIXL 5K device colour vary by flavour?
Yes. Each PIXL 5K Prefilled Pod Kit comes with a device colour-coded to its flavour. Cherry Ice is Dark Orange & Red. Lemon & Lime is Light Yellow & Green. Pineapple Ice is Gold. Blueberry Raspberry is Light Purple & Dark Purple. Blueberry Sour Razz is Blue. Fresh Mint is Green. Blue Razz Gummy Bear is Green & Blue. Hub Bub is Dark Pink. Strawberry Hub Bub is Dark Purple. Rainbow Candy is Yellow & Red.
