Pod Vapes

Had enough of fussing around with finicky vape components? Time to breathe a sigh of relief! Pod vapes, pod vape systems, pod e-cigarettes—whatever term you use there’s no denying that this is the wave of the future. Pod vapes are distinct from different types of vapes by virtue of requiring far less messy maintenance—simply pop in a pod and start vaping! Many pod vapes don’t require you to select between and change coils, and those that do, like the OXVA XLIM SQ Pro, offer a far simpler process with minimal likelihood of leaks. MIST has some of the newest and best vape pod kits in the UK, so why not take a trip down easy street and pick one up today?

What is a Pod Vape? 

A pod vape is a compact and user-friendly vape device. It offers a mouth-to-lung vaping experience that mimics the sensation of smoking a cigarette.Unlike vape box mods with removable batteries and screw-in tanks, most pod vapes have an internal (non-removable but rechargeable battery) and an acrylic tank with either a fixed or replaceable coil. 


In general, pod vapes are categorized into two: 

  1. Closed pod vapes: With closed pod vapes, the e-liquid is pre-filled in the pod cartridges and the coil is not removable.
  2. Open pod vapes: Open pod vapes or refillable pod vapes allows you to refill your pod cartridges with your desired vape juice flavours. Some open pod vapes have a built-in coil, which you can not remove, while other open pod vapes have a removable coil which you can replace.

To know more about this vape device, we have a detailed guide on what are vape pod kits

 

How Do Pod Vapes Work? 

Pod vape kits work in the exact same way as traditional vape kits. The battery within the pod mod sends an electrical charge up into the coil, which is installed in the pod and surrounded by vape juice.

The coil begins to heat up immediately, which evaporates - or "atomizes" - the e-liquid soaked into the coil cotton. As this occurs, you can inhale the resulting vapour to enjoy both flavour and optional nicotine content without many of the downsides associated with cigarette smoking.

Are All Pod Vapes Refillable?

As mentioned earlier, not all pod vapes are refillable. You will know if a pod vape is refillable if its tank has a removable rubber hatch. If the pod tank doesn't have this feature, you cannot refill it.

Are Pod Vapes Rechargeable? 

Yes, pod vapes are rechargeable. Depending on the pod vape model, some have an internal battery that you can charge by connecting a USB and power adapter, while others have a removable 18650 or 21700 battery (sold separately) that you can charge externally with a vape battery charger. Keep in mind that some pod vapes do not have a power adapter or cable included out of the box. 

Do You Need to Replace the Coil of a Pod Vape? 

Yes, you will need to eventually replace the coil of a pod vape. If your pod vape uses a tank with a built-in coil, you will need to replace the entire catridge. But for pod vapes with removable coils, you don't have to get a replacement cartridge; you will only need to get a compatible coil. 

Brand-new and genuine replacement coils and cartridges for pod vapes are available here at MIST. 

How Do You Use A Vape Pod Kit?

As we've mentioned before, pod vape kits are easy to use. Once you have the device charged up and added your vape juice of choice (provided that you've picked up a refillable pod kit), you can start vaping by either pressing the fire button or taking a huge puff (only for pod systems with inhale activation). 

To give you more context, here is a more detailed step-by-step guide on how to use a refillable pod kit: 

1. Get the coil and prime it with your e-liquid of choice. Wait for at least 2-3 minutes.

2. Install the coil into the empty reusable pod. Many reusable pods have a push-to-fit installation, so there's no need to use any tool.

3. Once the coil is in place, open the rubber hatch. Depending on the pod tank that you have, you can find the hatch on the bottom or the side of the pod tank.

4. Pour the e-liquid into the refillable pod and wait for the e-liquid to soak into the coil for at least 10 minutes. On the next refill, you can start vaping from the already-moist coil immediately.

5. Turn on your pod vape kit. Most pod kits have the fire button activation doubles as the power button as well. Press it five times and set the optimal wattage (if applicable)!

6. Either press the firing button or - in the case of a draw-activated vape - simply begin puffing to start vaping. And that's the whole process!

Note: If you bought a closed pod system (pod vapes with pre-filled pods), you can skip steps 1 to 4.

What Type of Vape Juice Is Best for Pods?

In general, nic salts, 50/50, and bar salts are the types of vape juice best suited for pods. This is because pod vapes generally use lower power and higher coil resistances. When in doubt, always remember that an e-liquid with 50% or higher PG is better for pod vapes; high VG e-liquids are best for sub-ohm vape devices.
