PIXL 8000 pods are prefilled pod refills for the PIXL 8000 kit. Each pack holds 12ml of 20mg nic salt e-liquid across a 2ml pod and 10ml auto-refill container, giving you approximately 8,000 puffs depending on your vaping style. The mesh coil in every pod keeps flavour consistent right through the pack.
All 30 PIXL 8000 pod flavours use the same recipes as the original PIXL 6000 disposable. Blue Razz Lemonade, Starmix, Cherry Pop, Pink Lemonade, Fresh Mint, and the rest of the lineup are all in stock. The 50/50 VG/PG ratio and MTL draw feel the same as the 6000 did, just in a rechargeable format with more puffs.
Every PIXL 8000 replacement pod ships directly from us with free next-day delivery, dispatched 7 days a week. Browse the full PIXL vape range.

How to Unlock PIXL 8000
Your PIXL 8000 kit arrives locked. That's a safety feature to stop it firing during shipping or in your pocket. To unlock it, click the fire button five times quickly. The screen flashes and the lock icon disappears.
The kit locks itself again after about 10 minutes of no use. Five clicks unlocks it every time. If you've just bought the kit and it won't fire, this is almost always why.
Step
What to Do
1
Click the fire button 5 times within 3 seconds
2
Watch for the screen to flash and the lock icon to clear
3
Inhale to vape as normal (auto-draw) or use the fire button
A lot of people searching for "how to unlock PIXL 8000 vape" are actually looking for boost mode. That's a separate thing. Double-click the button on the base to turn boost on. More on that below.
How to Change PIXL 8000 Pods
Swapping PIXL 8000 refill pods takes about 30 seconds. No tools, no e-liquid bottles, no priming.
Pull the used pod and container unit out of the kit
Take your new PIXL 8000 refill pack and click the 2ml pod onto the 10ml container until it snaps
Slot the combined unit into the kit
Wait about 2 minutes for the wick to soak on first use, then vape
The 10ml container feeds liquid into the 2ml pod on its own while you vape. You don't top anything up manually. Once the container empties, the whole unit gets swapped for a fresh one.
Prefer two flavours in one device? The PIXL Duo 12 carries a pair of Duo 12 pods you switch by turning the mouthpiece.
You can't refill PIXL 8000 pods with your own e-liquid. They're sealed prefilled units. If you want to use your own juice with PIXL flavours,PIXL nic salts come in 10ml bottles and work in any refillable pod kit.
PIXL 8000 Boost Mode
The PIXL 8000 kit has two vaping modes. Standard mode gives you the normal MTL draw. Boost mode heats the coil harder for more vapour and a stronger flavour hit.
To turn boost on: Double-click the button on the base of the kit. The screen shows a boost icon.
To turn boost off: Double-click the same button again. Back to standard mode.
Boost mode uses more battery and will drain the pod faster. If you're using it all day, you'll get fewer puffs than the approximate 8,000 count. Standard mode is better for stretching the pod and battery life.
Some people hit boost first thing in the morning for a stronger hit then use standard mode the rest of the day. Either way the swap between modes is instant.

If your PIXL 8000 keeps locking after a few minutes idle, that's normal. Auto-lock kicks in after about 10 minutes. Five clicks sorts it. If it locks mid-puff or straight after unlocking, charge the battery fully first. Still happening after a full charge? Contact us through live chat.
Won't unlock at all or not unlocking after 5 clicks with no screen response? The battery is likely flat. Plug it in for at least 15 minutes then try the 5-click unlock again.

Every pod is 20mg nic salt with a 50/50 VG/PG ratio. The mesh coil in each pod keeps the flavour consistent from start to end. You won't get that faded, weak taste towards the last few hundred puffs that the old PIXL 6000 disposables sometimes had.
How Long Does a PIXL 8000 Pod Last
Each PIXL 8000 pod pack gives you approximately 8,000 puffs. How long that lasts in real time depends on how often you vape and how long your draws are.
Usage Level
Approximate Duration
Light vaper (occasional throughout the day)
7 to 10 days
Average vaper (regular use)
5 to 7 days
Heavy vaper (frequent, long draws)
3 to 5 days
Puff counts are always approximate. Longer draws use more liquid per puff so the pod empties sooner.
There's no PIXL 8000 XL variant. If you're searching for "PIXL 8000 XL pods", you're looking at the standard PIXL 8000 pod which already holds 12ml of liquid.
Click the fire button five times quickly. The screen flashes and the lock icon clears, then you can vape on auto-draw or with the fire button. The PIXL 8000 ships locked as a safety feature and re-locks itself after about 10 minutes of no use — five clicks unlocks it again every time.
Why does my PIXL 8000 keep locking?
That is normal. The PIXL 8000 auto-locks after roughly 10 minutes of no use to stop it firing in your pocket — just click the fire button five times to unlock it. If it locks mid-puff or straight after unlocking, the battery is low: charge it fully over USB-C and try again.
What does E2 mean on the PIXL 8000?
E2 means the pod is not being detected. Remove the pod and container unit, wipe the contacts at the base with a dry cloth or kitchen roll, then push it firmly back into the kit until it seats. If E2 stays after reseating a fresh pod, the contacts may need a gentle clean.
Why is my PIXL 8000 showing OP on the screen?
OP stands for over-puff protection. The kit cuts the puff short when you draw for too long in one go. Wait about 10 seconds and take shorter draws — it resets on its own and there is nothing wrong with the device.
Can you refill PIXL 8000 pods with your own e-liquid?
No. PIXL 8000 pods are sealed prefilled units, so you cannot top them up with your own juice. If you want PIXL flavours in a refillable setup, the PIXL nic salts come in 10ml bottles and work in any standard pod kit or MTL tank.
What nicotine strength are PIXL 8000 pods?
Every PIXL 8000 pod is 20mg nic salt at a 50/50 VG/PG ratio, made for a smooth mouth-to-lung draw. There is no lower-strength option in the 8000 range.
Are PIXL 8000 pods the replacement for PIXL 6000?
Yes. The single-use PIXL 6000 was banned in June 2025, and the PIXL 8000 carries over the exact same flavour recipes in a rechargeable, refillable kit — so you get the taste you know with more puffs per pod.
Do PIXL 8000 pods fit the PIXL Duo 12?
No. PIXL 8000 pods only fit the PIXL 8000 kit. The PIXL Duo 12 uses its own twin-flavour Duo 12 pods. Each kit takes its own pods, so check which device you have before ordering.
