What Types of Vape Pods Are Available?
There are two main types of vape pods available:
- Prefilled Pods: These come pre-loaded with e-liquid, typically nicotine salts. Nicotine salts often provide a smoother throat hit at higher nicotine concentrations compared to traditional freebase nicotine, making them popular for smokers transitioning to vaping. In the UK, prefilled pods are available in various strengths, but legally cannot exceed 20mg/ml (or 2%). Flavour options are determined by the manufacturer.
- Refillable Pods: With these, you choose your own e-liquid. You can select from thousands of flavours and decide between nicotine salts or freebase nicotine. Refillable pods can have either a built-in coil or a removable coil.
How Long Does a Vape Pod Last?
The lifespan of a vape pod depends on several factors:
- Prefilled Pods: These typically last 2-3 days for average users before needing replacement
- Refillable Pods: The pod itself can last 2-4 weeks with proper maintenance
- Usage: Heavy vaping will reduce pod life
- E-liquid Type: Sweeter e-liquids may reduce coil life
What Type of E-liquid Should I Use With Refillable Pods?
When choosing e-liquid for refillable pods, pay attention to the VG/PG ratio. Most pod systems work best with thinner e-liquids, typically a 50/50 VG/PG ratio, although some sub-ohm style pods can handle slightly thicker liquids (e.g., 60VG/40PG or 70VG/30PG). Check the pod or device recommendations for the ideal e-liquid type.
