Pod Vape Kits

A pod vape kit is a compact, rechargeable vape that uses removable pods instead of traditional tanks. The pod holds your e-liquid and contains the coil that heats it into vapour. When the pod runs low or the coil wears out, you swap it for a fresh one.

Pod kits connect the pod magnetically, so there's no screwing or fiddling. Most vape pod kits are draw-activated too. Just inhale and it fires automatically, exactly like a disposable. Some pod systems also have a button if you prefer manual control.

What makes pod vapes different from older vape kits is the simplicity. No adjusting wattage, no building coils, no complicated settings. Fill the pod, charge the battery, and vape. The refillable vape market has grown massively because these devices finally made reusable vapes as easy as disposables.

Battery sizes vary from around 700mAh for ultra-compact pod kits up to 2800mAh+ for all-day battery life. Most charge via USB-C and go from empty to full in under an hour.

Pod vapes split into two main categories based on how the pods work.

Refillable Pod Kits (Open System)

Refillable vapes let you fill the pod with any e-liquid you choose. When the liquid runs low, top it up. When the coil wears out, either swap the whole pod or just replace the coil inside it.

Open pod systems give you access to thousands of e-liquid flavours and let you control your nicotine strength. Want nic salts today and freebase tomorrow? No problem. Fancy trying that new bar salt flavour? Just fill and go.

Most refillable vape kits use one of two coil setups:

• Replaceable coil pods - The pod lasts for months. You only swap the small coil inside when flavour drops off. More cost-effective long-term.
• Built-in coil pods - The coil is fixed inside the pod. When it's done, you replace the whole pod. Slightly easier but costs a bit more over time.

Prefilled Pod Kits (Closed System)

Prefilled pod vapes come with pods that are already filled with e-liquid. When the pod runs empty, you click on a new one. No filling, no mess.

Closed pod systems suit vapers who want zero hassle. The trade-off is less flavour choice since you're limited to whatever prefilled vape pods the manufacturer makes.

We stock both types. Check our prefilled pod kits collections for the full range.

Why Pod Vapes Beat Disposables

The June 2025 disposable vape ban changed everything. Single-use vapes are gone from UK shelves, and rechargeable vapes have stepped up as the direct replacement. But here's the thing - pod vape kits were already better.

Better Value

A disposable cost £5-8 and lasted a day or two. A reusable vape kit costs £15-30 upfront but then you're only buying e-liquid and refillable vape pods. Most vapers save £50+ per month after switching.

Better Flavour

Pod kits use proper coils that deliver consistent flavour from first puff to last. No more burnt hits halfway through. No more weak flavour after a few hours. Rechargeable pod kits just work better.

Better for the Environment

Disposables created mountains of electronic waste. One refillable vape replaces hundreds of single-use devices. The battery recharges, the pod refills, and only the coil needs replacing every week or two.

More Choice

Disposables locked you into maybe 10-15 flavours per brand. With refillable vapes, you've got access to thousands of e-liquids. Nic salt liquids, bar juice nic salts, freebase, shortfill e-liquids - whatever you fancy.

No More Dead Devices

Ever had a disposable die with loads of liquid left? Pod vapes fix that. The battery recharges. The liquid is visible through the pod. You're always in control.

Different pod vape kits suit different vapers. Here's how to match a device to your style.

For Ex-Disposable Users

Look for draw-activated pod kits with tight MTL airflow. The OXVA Xlim and Vaporesso XROS feel closest to disposables but perform far better. Pair with nic salt e-liquids at 10mg or 20mg for that satisfying throat hit.

For Beginners and New Vapers

Start with something simple. The Uwell Caliburn G4 mini and OXVA Xlim Go 2 are both beginner-friendly with no settings to adjust. Just fill, charge, and vape. We include a free nic salt with every pod kit to get you started.

For MTL Vapers

Mouth-to-lung vapers want tight airflow and higher resistance coils. Most pod systems default to MTL, but look for adjustable airflow if you like fine-tuning your draw. The OXVA Xlim has an airflow dial that goes from tight to slightly airy.

For Discreet Vaping

Small vapes like the Vaporesso XROS 5 Mini or Uwell Caliburn G4 Pro Koko fit in your palm and produce minimal vapour. Ideal for stealth vaping when you don't want clouds everywhere.

For All-Day Battery

If you vape heavily, look for 1500Ah+ batteries. The Lost Vape Thelema Elite 40 packs a 1400mAh cell that lasts most vapers a full day easily.

For Clouds and Flavour

Some pod mods offer restricted direct lung vaping with more airflow and lower resistance coils. The Voopoo Drag X3 and Geekvape Aegis Boost 3 can handle higher VG liquids and produce decent clouds for a pod kit.

Battery Life

Pod vape batteries range from 400mAh to 2800mAh+. Small compact vapes sacrifice battery for size. If you want all-day power, aim for 1200mAh minimum.

Charging

USB-C is standard now. Most pod kits charge in 45-60 minutes. Some support pass-through charging so you can vape while plugged in.

Airflow

Adjustable airflow lets you tweak how tight or loose the draw feels. Fixed airflow is simpler but gives you less control. MTL vapers usually want tighter airflow. Those after bigger clouds prefer it looser.

Coil Options

Having multiple coil resistances for one pod kit means you can switch between MTL and RDL vaping. Higher resistance (1.0Ω+) suits MTL. Lower resistance (0.6Ω-0.8Ω) suits looser draws.

Pod Capacity

UK TPD rules cap pods at 2ml. That's enough for most vapers. Clear pods let you see liquid levels so you know when to refill.

Build Quality

Metal construction outlasts plastic. Quality pod kits from OXVA, Vaporesso, Uwell and Voopoo are built to last months of daily use.

OXVA

The OXVA Xlim series has become one of the UK's favourite pod vapes. Compact, reliable, and delivers excellent flavour from both MTL and RDL coils. The Xlim Pro 3 adds a screen and adjustable wattage for more control.

Vaporesso

The Vaporesso XROS range hits that sweet spot between simplicity and performance. Draw-activated with adjustable airflow and long-lasting pods. The XROS 5 pod vape is the latest version with improved coil life.

Uwell

Uwell made pod kits mainstream with the original Caliburn. The Caliburn G4 Pro vape continues that legacy with better coils, faster charging, and the same pocket-friendly size. One of the best starter vape options going.

Voopoo

Voopoo's Argus pod series offers pod kits with a bit more power. The Argus P3 handles both nic salts and regular e-liquids comfortably. Solid build quality and good coil availability make these rechargeable vapes reliable daily drivers.

Free Nic Salt With Every Kit
