FAQs
What are PIXL 5K Pods?
PIXL 5K Pods are replacement pod packs for the PIXL 5K Prefilled Pod Kit. Each pack contains a 2ml prefilled pod and a 4ml refill container — 6ml of 20mg nicotine salt e-liquid — delivering up to 5,000 puffs from a 1.1Ω mesh coil. They are sometimes called replacement pods, refill pods, or prefilled pods; all three terms describe the same product. No device is included.
How many flavours are available?
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, and Rainbow Candy — plus six pod-only options: Mr Blue, Strawberry Burst, Juicy Peach, Hawaiian Oasis, Strawberry Raspberry Ice, and Strawberry Raspberry Cherry.
What is the difference between kit flavours and pod-only flavours?
Kit flavours are available both as complete PIXL 5K Prefilled Pod Kits (device plus first pod set) and as standalone replacement pods. Pod-only flavours — Mr Blue, Strawberry Burst, Juicy Peach, Hawaiian Oasis, Strawberry Raspberry Ice, and Strawberry Raspberry Cherry — are available as replacement pods only, not as complete kits. All 16 flavours use the same 2ml plus 4ml format and 1.1Ω mesh coil.
How many puffs do PIXL 5K Pods give?
Up to 5,000 puffs per pack from the combined 6ml of e-liquid (2ml prefilled pod plus 4ml refill container). The 4ml refill automatically tops up the 2ml pod as it depletes. Actual puff count depends on draw length and frequency of use. When flavour or vapour noticeably drops, the pack is exhausted — replace with a fresh pod pack.
How does the 2ml + 4ml system work?
The 4ml refill container automatically tops up the 2ml prefilled pod as e-liquid is consumed — no manual action required at any stage. Both the pod and the container are depleted together. When both are empty — signalled by reduced flavour or vapour — replace the entire pod pack as a single unit. A fresh coil is included with every replacement pack.
When should I replace my PIXL 5K Pod?
Replace when you notice a noticeable drop in flavour intensity or vapour volume. Do not replace when the 4ml refill container appears empty — the 2ml pod still contains e-liquid at that point. The correct signal is sensory: when the flavour weakens or the vapour thins noticeably, the 2ml pod is running low and the full pack should be swapped.
How do I fit a replacement PIXL 5K Pod?
Remove the exhausted pod from the device. Unpack the new pod pack and remove all protective seals. Insert the pre-assembled unit into the PIXL 5K device until it clicks securely. Wait a few seconds for the e-liquid to saturate the 1.1Ω mesh coil — this helps reduce the chance of dry hits on the first draw. Inhale to begin vaping — draw-activated, no button required.
Are replacement PIXL 5K Pods pre-assembled?
Yes. Unlike the initial kit setup — which requires inserting the 2ml pod into the 4ml refill container — replacement pod packs arrive pre-assembled as a single combined unit. Remove the exhausted pod, unpack the new pack, remove all seals, click it into the device, and vape. No assembly is required for replacement packs.
What coil do PIXL 5K Pods use?
Every PIXL 5K Pod contains a 1.1Ω mesh coil sealed inside the 2ml pod. Mesh coil technology distributes heat more evenly across the coil surface, helping to maintain more consistent flavour across the pod's life (usage dependent). A fresh coil comes automatically with every replacement pod pack — no separate coil purchases required.
What is the PG/VG ratio of PIXL 5K Pods?
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 clean and accurate flavour delivery. Higher-VG blends are typically used in sub-ohm devices; 50/50 is specifically suited to the PIXL 5K's resistance and vaping style.
What nicotine strength are PIXL 5K Pods?
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. Currently, 20mg is the only nicotine strength available for the PIXL 5K system.
Which devices are PIXL 5K Pods compatible with?
PIXL 5K Pods are compatible with the PIXL 5K device only. They are not compatible with the PIXL 8000, PIXL Duo 12, or any other PIXL product or third-party device. Always confirm the product name matches your device before ordering. If you own a different PIXL device, you will need that device's specific pods.
What is the difference between PIXL 5K Pods and the PIXL 5K Kit?
The PIXL 5K Prefilled Pod Kit is a complete kit — it includes the rechargeable device and the first pod set. PIXL 5K Pods are replacement pod packs only — no device included. If you already own the PIXL 5K device, purchase replacement pods. If you are starting from scratch and do not have the device, purchase the complete kit.
Are PIXL 5K Pods sometimes called PIXL 5000 pods?
Yes — PIXL 5K and PIXL 5000 are names used interchangeably in search queries and some product listings to refer to the same device and pod system. The product name is PIXL 5K. If you are unsure whether your device is compatible, check the device name before ordering replacement pods.
Is there a coil included with every PIXL 5K Pod pack?
Yes. Every PIXL 5K Pod pack includes a 1.1Ω mesh coil sealed inside the 2ml prefilled pod. The coil is replaced automatically with every pod pack swap — there are no separate coil purchases required. When you fit a new pod pack, you are also fitting a fresh coil.
Can I use PIXL 5K Pods in a different device?
No. PIXL 5K Pods are designed for the PIXL 5K device only and are not compatible with other devices, including other PIXL models. Using non-compatible pods in a device is not recommended. If you own a PIXL 8000 or PIXL Duo 12, those devices require their own specific replacement pods.
Are PIXL 5K Pods TPD compliant?
Yes. All PIXL 5K Pods sold at Vapourcore are UK TPD compliant. The 2ml prefilled pod stays within the UK legal e-liquid limit per container. The 4ml refill container is a closed, sealed system compliant with UK regulations. Genuine PIXL stock is available at Vapourcore.
What is the 1.1Ω coil resistance and why does it matter?
The 1.1Ω coil resistance is confirmed from supplier documentation for the PIXL 5K system. At 1.1Ω, the resistance is matched to a tight MTL draw and the 50/50 VG/PG e-liquid formula. Lower-resistance coils (sub-ohm) suit higher-power devices with thicker VG-heavy e-liquids. The 1.1Ω resistance in the PIXL 5K is designed for the system's specific draw style and e-liquid composition.
How does the PIXL 5K compare to a disposable vape for replacement costs?
The PIXL 5K uses a rechargeable device that is reused across multiple pod packs. Only the pod pack is replaced when exhausted — not the device. This differs from a disposable vape, which is discarded entirely when the e-liquid runs out. Whether the ongoing cost of replacement pods compares favourably to disposables will depend on the individual's usage and the price of pods at the time of purchase.
Are PIXL 5K Pods sealed or refillable?
PIXL 5K Pods are sealed and not refillable. The 2ml pod comes prefilled with e-liquid from the manufacturer and cannot be opened or refilled manually. When the pod set is exhausted, the entire pack — both the 2ml pod and the 4ml refill container — is replaced as a single unit with a new pod pack.
