Refillable pods suit vapers who want choice and lower running costs. A single refillable vape pod lasts 7-15 fills before the coil wears out. At roughly £2-3 per pod versus £5+ for a prefilled pack, the savings add up fast. Refillable pods also let you taper nicotine strength at your own pace. Pair your replacement pods with nic salt e-liquids or shortfill e-liquids depending on your kit.
Pod Resistance Guide
Picking the right resistance for your refillable vape pods makes a big difference to your vape. Here's the breakdown.
0.4 - 0.6 ohm pods - restricted direct lung (RDL)
- More vapour, warmer draw
- Best with 70/30 or 60/40 e-liquids at 3-6mg freebase
- Uses more e-liquid and battery per puff
- Good for cloud chasers who want a loose, airy hit
0.8 - 1.0 ohm pods - the middle ground
- Works for loose MTL or tight RDL
- Good with 50/50 e-liquids and nic salts at 10-20mg
- Balanced vapour and battery life
- Most popular resistance for refillable vape pods
1.2 ohm pods and above - tight MTL
- Closest to a cigarette draw
- Best with nic salts at 20mg
- Minimal vapour, maximum throat hit
- Longest battery life per charge
Most pod kits come with two resistances in the box so you can try both. Vape pod cartridges are listed by resistance on each product page. If you're coming from smoking, start with 0.8 ohm or above and 20mg nic salt.
