Vape Pods
Vape pod kits are the preferred choice for many as the next step up from disposable vapes. From top brands like Elf Bar, Uwell and Smok, vapers can choose between pre filled or refillable mouth to lung and direct lung Sub-Ohm pods, with both storing a max of 2ml e-liquid. Compact, easy to hold and transport on the go, a pod vape is a user-friendly option that’s less advanced than vape mods. An open system allows you to change the coils and refill the e-liquid while a closed system has pre installed coils and in most cases vape juice already inside, ready to vape.

Vape Pod FAQs
What is a Pod in a Vape?
A vape pod is an essential accessory inside a pod vape system. Pods have space for a coil, which acts as the heating element and stores up to 2ml of e-liquid. Once a pod vape kit is activated through a fire button or auto-draw, the coil begins to heat the vape juice, turning it into vapour. Vape pods are all about convenience and are one of the easiest ways to vape wherever you are. There are two types of vape pods:
Pre Filled Pods
Pre filled pods are simplicity personified. You purchase a pre filled pod if you don’t want to worry about filling up e-liquid manually yourself. Once your chosen e-liquid runs out or the coil life diminishes, all you have to do is throw away the pre filled pod and insert another.
Refillable Pods
But if you seek a longer-lasting pod to vape, look no further than a refillable one. Depending on the brand and the coil inside, you should be able to get 2-4 refills as a minimum before swapping the coil or pod for a replacement. With this option, you have more flexibility about the e-liquid inside the pod and can tailor it to personal preference, choosing the nicotine strength and flavour.
Should You Pick an MTL or Sub-Ohm Vape Pod?
Beginners will in most cases opt for an MTL vape pod system.
This is because they closely mimic the setup, throat hit and compact nature of a cigarette.
Typically producing small amounts of vapour from high PG or nic salt e-liquids, it’s the closest you’ll get to smoking without the dangerous toxins.
In contrast, a Sub-Ohm vape pod will produce more vapour with higher VG e-liquids, which are thicker in viscosity, creating a sweeter vape juice experience.
Vapers tend to enjoy these by inhaling directly into the lungs with a lower resistance coil that heats faster and produces a warmer vape.
What’s the Difference Between a Vape Pod and a Vape Tank?
A vape pod is your back-to-basics accessory that forms a key part of the pod vape kit.
Aimed at beginners and those seeking a simple setup, pods are smaller and less technically capable than vape tanks.
The latter has more features with advanced airflow systems, slide fill mechanisms for topping up high VG and PG e-liquids and other customisable options to highlight how vape tanks can improve the overall experience.
Open or Closed Pod System?
It all boils down to what you prefer as a vaper.
If you want to change your coils, an open pod system is a smart option that gives you greater flexibility.
With a closed pod, the coil is pre installed and not possible to swap for a replacement.
Instead, you need to replace the whole pod, which is less cost-effective.
For new vapers and those not wanting to spend as much time on maintenance, a closed pod system with pre installed e-liquids is still popular because it requires less effort.
The Elf Bar P1 Pods offer some of the best flavours for pre filled closed-system vaping.
How Long Do Vape Pods Last?
The life of your pod depends on multiple factors; such as the type of coil inside, whether you’re vaping MTL or DTL, the frequency that you vape and the viscosity of the e-liquid.
