Frequently Asked Questions
Generally, you will find two main different types of pod vape kits or pod systems to choose from. One is a Closed Pod system, also known as a prefilled pod kit, and the other is an Open Pod system or refillable pod kit.
Prefilled Pod Kit (Closed Pod System)
Closed pod systems are the easiest device to use in the vaping market and only use replaceable cartridges to function, which are not refillable but come pre-filled with e-liquid. They are, in a way, extremely convenient when looking at ease of use. You can also carry a spare pod, which can easily be swapped without having to refill or change coils on the go. The main downside of this is that you are limited to the flavours a manufacturer produces and, therefore, won't be able to use most of what is available in the market.
Refillable Pod Kit (Open Pod System)
Open Pod systems, on the other hand, can be filled with any compatible flavoured e-liquid and can be refilled multiple times. Open pod kits designed for beginners have a pod with a sealed-in coil. You replace the whole pod once the coil needs changing, typically after between 5 and 10 refills. For more advanced users, there are kits where you can remove the coils from the pod and just replace the coil, greatly reducing how often you need to change the pod.
Pod Mod Kit
There is also another type of open pod kit known as a Pod Mod. These are more powerful devices with larger battery capacities that feature either semi or full sub-ohm capabilities and provide advanced settings customisation.
Disposable Vape
The final type of pod vape kit is the disposable vape. These are specialised versions of closed pod kits, where the pod is sealed inside the device, and the whole vape is disposed of once it’s empty. Popular examples of this style of pod vape kit are Elf Bar and Lost Mary. They require zero maintenance and are widely available, but can work out more expensive in the long run.
Deciding which of these types will be the best vape pod kit for you will really come down to whether you prioritise convenience or lower long-term operating costs.
Refilable pod vape
Refilable pod vapes contain pods that need to be filled with eliquid, you can add any vape liquid that you like.
- Can use different e-liquid flavours

- Some have function of being both MLT and DTL
Prefilled Pod Vape
Prefilled pod vapes are pod kits that have a pod prefilled with vape juice so you do not add vape juice to the pod, they are ready to vape.
- Easy to use and replace pods
- Dipsose of pod once vape liquid finished
- Only a select range of flavours to choose from
