PIXL 6000 and PIXL 2000 Replacements
The PIXL 6000 and PIXL 2000 were single-use disposables and both were banned from sale in the UK on 1 June 2025, so the replacement is a rechargeable PIXL kit taking the same flavour recipes. There are no PIXL 6000 refills, because the 6000 was a sealed unit with nothing to replace.
If you had a PIXL 6000, the PIXL 8000 vape kit is the closest match. It carries 12ml against the 6000's 2ml, it holds the same flavour list, and the draw feels the same because the nicotine strength and the 50/50 mix have not changed. If you had a PIXL 2000, the PIXL 5K vape kit is the nearer size.
The practical difference is what you throw away. A disposable went in the bin whole once the liquid was gone. A PIXL kit keeps the battery and the screen, and you swap a pod that costs a few pounds. Our guide to switching from disposable vapes covers what changes day to day.
Which PIXL Kit to Choose
Choose the PIXL 8000 for the longest single-flavour pod, the PIXL Duo 12 for two flavours in one device, and the PIXL 5K for the smallest and cheapest way into the range. All three are rechargeable over USB-C and all three take prefilled pods rather than bottled liquid.

Pods are not shared between the kits. A PIXL 8000 pod fits the 8000 only, and the PIXL Duo 12 kit takes Duo packs only. All three kits are listed with the wider prefilled pod vape kits if you want to compare PIXL against other brands.
How PIXL Refill Pods Work
A PIXL refill pod is a sealed prefilled unit that clicks into the kit, so there is no bottle to pour, no coil to change and no priming beyond a two minute wait on first use. The larger container feeds liquid into the pod on its own while you vape, which is why a 2ml pod lasts for thousands of puffs.
You cannot put your own e-liquid into a PIXL pod. If you want PIXL flavours in a kit you fill yourself, the PIXL nic salt e-liquids come in 10ml bottles at 5mg, 10mg and 20mg and work in any refillable pod kit. Every PIXL pod also appears in our wider prefilled vape pod refills range.
If a kit arrives locked, that is a safety feature rather than a fault, and five clicks of its button clears it. The button is in a different place on each kit, which catches people out: on the PIXL 8000 it is on the bottom beside the USB-C port, and on the PIXL Duo 12 it is on the side. Our guide on a locked PIXL 8000 covers the screen symbols as well. Newer to pod kits in general, read how to refill a vape pod.
PIXL Flavours and Nic Salts
There are more than 60 PIXL flavours across the pods and the 10ml bottles, and every pod flavour is a recipe carried over from the PIXL 6000. Fruit and ice make up most of the range, with sweet shop and drinks profiles behind them.
The 35 PIXL nic salts match the pod flavours bottle for bottle, which makes them a cheap way to try a profile before buying a pod pack, and they open the range up to any refillable kit. They are 50/50 at 5mg, 10mg and 20mg. If nic salt strengths are new to you, our guide to nic salts explains which to start on.
