A pod vape kit is a lightweight device that uses a "pod" instead of a traditional glass tank. These pods snap into place via a magnetic connection, making them incredibly easy to maintain.
The main appeal of a vape pod system is its simplicity. Depending on the model, you either refill the pod with your favourite liquid for pods or, in the case of prefilled systems, simply swap the entire pod for a fresh one when it’s empty. Pods are typically designed with built-in coils, meaning when the flavour begins to fade, you replace the pod rather than messing with internal parts.
When buying a pod kit online, the most important choice is between an "Open" or "Closed" system:
These use empty pods that you fill manually. They offer the best long-term value and allow you to explore thousands of vape flavours and nicotine strengths. They are the best choice for vapers who want full control over their experience.
These use disposable cartridges pre-loaded with e-liquid. They offer the ultimate convenience with zero refilling or coil changes. Just click in a new pod and vape.
To get the best performance and avoid burnt coils, pairing your kit with the correct liquid for pods is essential. Because pod systems use smaller, higher-resistance coils, they perform best with thinner liquids:
Mouth to Lung (MTL) Vaping: MTL pod kits replicate the tight draw of traditional cigarettes, making them ideal for beginners and those switching from smoking. These devices work best with higher PG ratio e liquids for enhanced throat hit and flavour concentration. The majority of pod vapes we stock are designed for MTL vaping.
Direct to Lung (DTL) Vaping: DTL pod kits offer an airier draw and produce larger vapour clouds. These systems are perfect for experienced vapers who prefer high VG e liquids and want maximum vapour production from a compact device.
To get the best performance out of your pod kit, it is essential to use the right liquid. Because pods use smaller coils, they perform best with thinner e-liquids. Using thick, high-VG liquids can cause the coil to burn out prematurely.

Prefilled kits come with ready to use pods filled with e liquid, no mess or refilling needed. Refillable kits let you add your own e liquid, giving more flexibility and flavour choice.
The battery in most pod kits can last a full day of use on a single charge. The pods themselves can last anywhere from 3 to 10 days, depending on your vaping habits and the type of e liquid you use.
Pod kits are generally considered an evolution of the classic vape pen. While pens are still popular, pod kits offer a more modern design, better performance, and often a more satisfying experience with less mess and upkeep.
For a smooth, satisfying vape, we recommend using a 50/50 VG/PG blend or a nicotine salt e liquid with your pod kit. These liquids are formulated to work best with the coils found in most pod systems.
