What is a pod vape kit?

Pod vape kits are a type of e-cigarette that are compact and can easily fit into your pocket or bag. They’re made up of a plastic pod and a battery — there is no vape tank involved, which is what makes them smaller than many other devices. 

These are very popular and often used by people vaping while on the go. Plus, they come in a variety of colours and styles and make a great on-the-go solution to traditional smoking. 

Maintenance is minimal, too. Many pod kits feature refillable pods, meaning you can top them up instead of replacing them after a day or two, making them a practical and reusable option.

Different types of vape pods

Before diving into the best vape pods, let’s understand the different types and what they offer. 

Closed pod vapes (prefilled pod system)

Prefilled pod kit: Lost Mary BM6000

Closed pod systems use pods that are prefilled with e-liquid and sealed. Once the pod runs out, you can’t refill it or replace the coil — you simply swap the empty pod for a new one. 

This makes prefilled pod vapes incredibly convenient, as there’s no need to handle e-liquid or mess around with coils. They’re especially popular with beginners or vapers who want a straightforward, no-fuss option.

You’ll also find some closed pod kits that use prefilled pods with refill capability. These often work with refill packs that automatically top up the pod, giving you more use before the refill cartridge needs to be replaced.

Open pod systems (refillable pod vapes)

Refillable pod kit: Aspire PockeX Starter Kit

Open pod systems are devices designed to be reusable. Instead of throwing away the whole pod once it’s empty, you can simply refill it with your favourite e-liquid. When the coil inside eventually burns out (as all coils do), you only need to replace that small part rather than the entire pod.

The only thing to keep in mind is compatibility: you’ll need to use coils and e-liquids that are suited to your specific device. It takes a little extra know-how, but with refillable pods, you get more flexibility and control over your vaping experience.

Pod mods

Pod mod vape: Eleaf iStick T80 

Pod mods bridge the gap between pod vapes and traditional vape mods. They use refillable pods (often with replaceable coils) but come with more power, larger batteries, and advanced features like adjustable wattage, airflow control, and display screens. This makes them ideal for vapers who want bigger clouds, more flavour, and greater customisation, without moving up to a bulkier box mod.

Mouth-to-lung (MTL) pod kits

There are two distinct types of vaping you will come across: mouth-to-lung and direct-to-lung – both of these offer a different vaping experience. MTL vaping mimics the actions of smoking a cigarette, as it produces only a small amount of vapour that you hold in your mouth before inhaling into the lungs. The result is a smooth but satisfying throat hit that isn’t too intense. 

Direct-to-lung (DTL) pod kits 

Direct-to-lung vaping offers a more intense throat hit and denser vapour clouds, making it the preferred option for some experienced vapers. Most vape pods offer MTL vaping; however, some also offer DTL. 

What to consider when choosing a pod vape

Before going into the best vape pods of 2025, here are a few things to consider when browsing the different types: 

• Prefilled vs refillable — Prefilled pods come ready to use with e-liquid already inside. Once they're empty, you just pop in a fresh one. Chris says: “If you're making the switch to a rechargeable vape after the UK 2025 disposable ban, prefilled may be your best bet thanks to their ease of use. Refillable pods, on the other hand, let you fill up with your favourite e-liquid and usually work out cheaper in the long run. They give you more choice and flexibility, but take a little more effort to use.”
• E-liquid compatibility — If you want to fill your refillable vape pod with e-liquid you already own, check whether it's compatible (or not). Putting incompatible e-liquid into a device is not something you want to do!
• Battery life — Consider how long the battery will last. If you want your vape pod to run for a decent while without having to recharge it, a longer battery life is key here.
• The design — While the most important aspect of vape pods is how they work for vaping, you may also want a design that looks good to the eye. Vape pods come in a range of shapes and colours, so you'll be able to pick one you love!
• Size and portability — Some pods are ultra-compact for slipping into your pocket, while others are a little larger but give you more power. Think about when and where you're using it most.
• Cost over time — While prefilled pods are convenient, refillable kits are generally more cost-effective in the long run. With refillable pods and replaceable coils, you’ll usually spend less over time compared to buying prefilled pods.

Chris says: “Despite sounding more advanced, the BM6000 is actually a great option for beginners and anyone moving on from disposables or cigarettes. It’s technically a refillable pod system, but much easier than it sounds. You don’t pour in your own e-liquid. Instead, the 2ml pod automatically draws from a prefilled 10ml container you insert inside the device. That means no messy refills, no coil changes, and far less hassle for beginners. With up to 6000 puffs and a rechargeable 1000mAh battery, the BM6000 is built to keep you going for longer.”

When the cartridge runs out, you just swap it for a new one. It’s really simple and convenient.”

“Each device has a 2ml prefilled pod and a 10ml refill container that automatically tops it up, so you never have to pour e-liquid yourself. The refill pack keeps you going for much longer than a standard pod, and when it’s finally empty, you just swap in a new one and carry on.”

Best open system (refillable) pod vapes

Vaporesso Xros Pro Kit

£19.99

 

• Pod type: Refillable pods (Xros Series)
• Activation: Inhale or button (with side-lock option)
• Battery capacity: 1200mAh
• Pod capacity: 2ml
• Best for: Advanced vapers who want more customisation

“What makes the Xros Pro stand out is how much control it gives you in such a compact device,” explains Chris. “You can switch between mouth-to-lung (MTL) and restricted direct-to-lung vaping (RDTL) with the adjustable airflow, check everything on the premium display screen, and even lock the button so it works inhale-only. Add in a big 1200mAh battery with rapid 2A charging, and you’ve got a kit that’s powerful, versatile, and built for everyday use.”

“That said, features like variable airflow and the refillable pod system might feel a bit overwhelming for beginners who just want something simple to pick up and go. A prefilled pod kit may be a better choice for those new to vaping, so you don’t have to worry about topping up with e-liquid.”

Pros:

• Supports both MTL and RDTL vaping
• Adjustable airflow for customised draw
• Large 1200mAh battery with fast 2A charging

“The Ultra HD colour screen doesn’t just look premium; it shows your battery, wattage, puff count, and even has customisable animations and RGB effects.”

This vape is versatile too: you can vape mouth-to-lung (MTL) or restricted-direct-to-lung (RDTL) and adjust your airflow. You can also refill easily from the top without removing the pod. That makes it a great choice if you want a pod kit that looks smart, lasts longer, and gives you plenty of control over how you vape.

• Battery capacity: 1100mAh
• Pod capacity: 2ml
• Best for: Experienced vapers looking for more control and power

 

“The VooPoo Argus P2 is a real step up from your standard pod kit,” explains Chris. “With a bigger battery, refillable pods, and more control over your vape, this pod mod is made for those who want more than just a simple, pocket-friendly device.”

“While still portable, it’s a little chunkier than slimline options like the ICON Pod Vape Kit. But that extra size makes room for a powerful 1100mAh battery and a sleek OLED screen that gives you useful info, like battery percentage, puff count, and resistance.”

The Argus P2 uses refillable 2ml pods with built-in mesh coils. This gives you the freedom to choose your own e-liquids while still keeping things straightforward with fixed coils. Pair that with adjustable airflow, and you can easily switch between MTL (mouth-to-lung) and DTL (direct-to-lung) vaping styles.

It also boasts three power modes: ECO for longer life, NOR for balanced everyday use, and SPT for maximum flavour and vapour. In short, this kit is built for vapers who want more flexibility, performance, and customisation than entry-level pod systems can offer.

 

Pros:

• Refillable pods (freedom to choose your own e-liquid)
• No coil changes — just replace the pod when needed

• Best for: A powerful, customisable vape without the need for constant recharging

 

Chris says: “The Armour G Vape Kit is a bit bigger than other pod kits, but that’s because it’s packed with features you don’t usually get in standard models. The 3000mAh battery gives you days of use, and the 5–80W power range means you can go for a tighter, cigarette-style draw or open it up for a fuller, airier vape.”

“It’s refillable, so you can use it with your favourite e-liquids. Refilling is straightforward too; the top-fill design means you don’t have to remove the pod, and the leak-resistant build gives you peace of mind when carrying it in your bag or pocket.”

This vape uses GTX coils that really help bring the flavour out. The only small downside is that they’ll need replacing when they wear out, but swapping them is quick and easy.

With the bright screen showing all your settings, it’s a reliable, versatile kit for vapers who want more control than a standard pod can offer.

 

Pros:

• Refillable pods (freedom to choose your own e-liquid)

The kit features a 2ml refillable pod with a simple sliding top-fill system, making refilling quick and mess-free. Airflow is fully adjustable, letting you move between looser DTL draws and more restricted MTL inhales.

Frequently asked questions

What are the advantages of vape pods?

Are you wondering why vape pods are so popular? Perhaps you’re torn between vape pods and another vaping device, such as a full vape kit with a tank. Here are some of the advantages of pods that may sway you: 

 

• Discretion — Vape pods are small, compact, and discreet. This makes them ideal if you prefer a device that won’t draw too much attention.
• Portability — Lightweight and pocket-friendly, vape pods are easy to carry with you wherever you go.
• Convenience and low maintenance — Many vape pods don’t require coil changes or complicated setups. Prefilled options are ready to use straight out of the box, and even refillable ones are simpler than full tank systems.
• Range of choice — There’s a huge variety of vape pods to choose from, including prefilled, refillable and pod mods. Whatever your preference, there’s likely a pod vape to match it.
• Beginner-friendly — Vape pods are perfect for new vapers. With inhale activation and no complex settings, you can pick one up and start vaping without any prior knowledge.

Are there any negatives to pod vapes?

Not everyone is a fan of vape pods for several reasons. Yes, they have their advantages, but their compact size means they generally have smaller batteries, so you may need to recharge more often than with a larger vape kit. Pod capacity is usually limited to 1.5–2ml of e-liquid, which can mean more frequent refills or pod changes.

While pods are convenient, some models also produce less vapour compared to sub-ohm kits or box mods, which might not suit cloud chasers. And since many pods are disposable, the ongoing cost of replacing them can add up over time.

Ultimately, it’s about weighing up the pros and cons: pod vapes excel in simplicity, portability, and ease of use, but if you’re after long battery life, bigger e-liquid capacity, or huge vapour clouds, pod vapes may not suit you.

What e-liquid should you use in a vape pod?

The type of e-liquid you’ll need depends on the pod kit you’re using. Most MTL (mouth-to-lung) pod kits work best with 50VG/50PG or PG-dominant blends. These thinner liquids wick easily into smaller coils and give you a smooth throat hit with discreet vapour; ideal if you’re switching from smoking.

If you’re using a DTL (direct-to-lung) pod kit, you’ll need something thicker, like a 70VG/30PG e-liquid. Higher VG ratios produce denser vapour and bigger clouds, but they require a pod kit with more power and coils designed for sub-ohm vaping.

It’s also important to check the manufacturer’s guidance for your device, as some pod kits are only compatible with certain e-liquid ranges or nicotine types (like nic salts or freebase). Using the wrong ratio can shorten coil life or lead to leaking.

And remember: only refillable (open) pod kits need e-liquid. If you’ve chosen a closed pod kit, your pods already come prefilled and ready to go, so you won’t need to worry about bottles of vape juice.

What is a vape pod?

A vape pod is a small cartridge that holds e-liquid in a pod vape device. It clips into the battery section and contains the coil that heats the e-liquid to create vapour. 

They come in two types: closed pods, which are prefilled and disposable, and open pods, which are refillable with your choice of e-liquid.

How long does a vape pod last?

It depends on the type of pod:

 

• Prefilled pods — These last until the e-liquid inside runs out, usually anywhere from 600 to 6,000 puffs depending on the device, pod, and how you vape. Once they’re empty, you just swap them for a fresh pod.
• Refillable pods — These can be refilled several times, often lasting one to two weeks before the coil inside burns out or the flavour starts to fade. Signs it’s time to replace your pod include a burnt taste, weaker flavour, or reduced vapour.

 

And of course, how long a pod lasts also depends on your vaping habits. If you vape frequently, you’ll go through pods faster, while lighter use can make them last longer.

How do you remove vape juice from a pod?

If you need to remove e-liquid from a refillable pod, this is often the easiest way:

 

1. Turn off and remove — Power off your device (if it has a button) and pull the pod out.
2. Open the fill port — Lift the rubber/silicone plug to expose the fill hole.
3. Pour out the liquid — Hold the pod over a tissue or small container. Tilt it and slowly pour the e-liquid out of the fill port.
4. Clear the last drops — Gently tilt/rotate the pod to drain the corners. You can dab the edge of the fill port with a tissue or cotton bud. Avoid poking the coil/wick.
5. Wipe dry — Wipe the pod exterior (and mouthpiece) with a clean paper towel.
6. Refit and refill — Close the fill port, then refill with a compatible e-liquid. Let it sit 5–10 minutes so the coil re-soaks before vaping.

 

Avoid rinsing pods with water, as this can damage the coil. But if you do rinse, let the pod dry for at least 24 hours before use.

Pods aren’t really designed to be emptied often, so it’s usually best to vape what’s left unless you’re changing flavours.

Why is my vape pod leaking?

Vape pods can leak for a few different reasons:

 

• Overfilling the pod and leaving no space for airflow (this is the most common reason)
• Damaged or worn coils that no longer hold liquid properly
• Letting the pod sit unused for too long, causing the wick to oversaturate
• Using the wrong e-liquid (for example, high VG in a low-powered MTL pod)

 

To prevent leaks, try filling carefully, storing your device upright, and replacing pods or coils when they’re worn out.
