Vape Pods

What are vape pods?

Vape pods are detachable pod units that hold the coil and e-liquid part of a vape, similar to a vape tank. When paired with a pod device, they make a complete vape pod kit. Vape pods are a cheap and convenient alternative to disposable vapes, mods and tanks, and come in two different forms: pre-filled or refillable.

What are pre-filled vape pods?

Pre-filled vape pods are all-in-one sealed units containing e-liquid and a coil. Almost all pre-filled pods are designed to fit a matching device from the same vape brand and are not interchangeable with other brands. They’re great if you prefer to stick to a favourite brand or avoid topping up the e-liquid yourself. Take a look at our prefilled pod vape kits.

What are refillable vape pods?

Refillable vape pods are supplied empty so you can add an e-liquid of your choice, usually through a top or side port, and then refill them once the e-liquid has been used. They’re ideal if you want the freedom to choose any e-liquid and be able to top up on the move. Take a look at our refillable pod vape kits.

How do vape pods work?

Vape pods heat e-liquid using an electrical current passed through a coil to produce a vapour for inhalation. A battery in the adjoining pod kit device delivers the current. Most pods attach to their device with a simple push, although some, like the SKE Plus Pods, attach magnetically. Once your pod is attached and ready, simply inhale to vape!

How long do vape pods last?

Depending on your vaping habits and the device used, the lifespan of a vape pod varies. A refillable pod can last from a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on the type of e-liquid used, and the frequency and intensity of your usage. You can maintain the longevity of your refillable vape pods by regularly cleaning and maintaining them. Pre-filled vape pods are typically limited to a few hundred puffs, with some reaching up to 600 puffs. They will last a shorter duration, often just a few days with heavy usage.

How to dispose of vape pods?

All vape pods are designed to be thrown away after use, while the separate pod device is the part which is retained. Unfortunately, most vape pods aren't recyclable due to non-removable inner components. For the few pods that can be disassembled, parts can only be recycled where facilities allow. Refillable vape pods also have an environmental advantage over pre-filled pods, as each pod has a lifespan of between 6 and 10 refills.

How many cigarettes is one vape pod equivalent to?

A single 2ml vape pod's nicotine content is roughly equivalent to 20 cigarettes.

Why replace disposable vapes with vape pods?

Choosing pod vapes over disposable vapes can save you money and reduce your environmental impact, as you won't need to purchase and dispose of a whole vape device every 600 puffs. This means much less plastic waste, packaging, components and batteries are sent to landfill. Vapes with pods are ideal for on-the-go vaping due to their compact size. Generally, they are smaller than traditional vape and mod kits and come in similar shapes and sizes to disposables.
