Pod Kits

Generally, you will find two main different types of pod kits or pod systems to choose from; One is a Closed Pod system or prefilled, and the other Open Pod system or refillable. 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 we are looking at ease to use, and 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. The Open Pod systems on the other hand, while they have disposable pods, you can refill them and use any compatible flavoured e liquid with them. There are also other pod devices or vape pods such as Pod Mods, which are light-weight pod devices, featuring either semi or full sub-ohm capabilities, providing settings customisation and larger battery power.

They are extremely simple to use, with many of them (especially the prefilled pod vapes) being draw-activated designs, so all that is required by you is just inhaling. Others have a firing button you press to drag. The bottom line is that there is no need for setting up required, with ease of use in mind, pod kits require low maintenance. All you have to do is essentially refill and replace the pods, providing you with an all-natural vaping experience.

There are many benefits of a pod kit, such as not needing to change coils in pod kits, as the coil is pre-fitted in the pod itself, therefore there’s a lot less maintenance, when you compare them to other vape pens of sub-ohm kits. Being pocket friendly and low powered devices, also proves to be very ideal for people who just started vaping or people who are always on the go, as the cloud production is reduced, making them perfect for low-profile vaping.

A DTL Pod Kit is designed to replicate the feel of a sub-ohm device in a much smaller and pocket-friendly device. DTL stands for Direct To Lung meaning you just inhale straight into your lungs. These devices are recommended to be used with lower nicotine e-liquids as they are still quite powerful and high nicotine would feel too harsh to the user.

An MTL Pod Kit is perfect for people looking for a tighter airflow and a cigarette style feel. MTL stands for Mouth To Lung meaning you collect the vapour in your mouth first and then breathe it into your lungs, just like a cigarette. These generally use lower power meaning high nicotine e-liquids are ideal to be used with MTL Kits.

Pod kits are almost always rechargeable and a single charge would last around 24 hours. The battery will start to deplete roughly a year after the first charge so switching pod kits every year or so, is ideal. The coils or pods would last around a week depending on vaping style and how sweet the e-liquid you are vaping is. The sweeter the e-liquid, the shorter the coil or pod will last.

Pod kits have been really popular as of recent years and pod kits like the VooPoo Drag range and the Uwell Caliburn range have seen the most success. The VooPoo Drag Kits are more ideal for someone looking for a DTL feel and the Uwell Caliburn range is aimed at those looking for an MTL (cigarette style) experience. The Smok Nord 50W Pod Kit has also seen success as the kit can be used as both MTL and DTL.

One of the best refillable pod kits on the market is the Uwell Caliburn AK2. It produces amazing flavour, the coils last a very long time and the device is so small and discreet that you cannot even tell that it is in your pocket.

When it comes to pre-filled pods, VUSE devices have seen great popularity thanks to the range of flavours and nicotine strengths available. Another kit that performs really well is the Surge Ultrasonic pod kit which used industry-leading ultrasonic technology to create vapor through vibration rather than burning a coil which makes it more cost effective and better-tasting for longer.

Pod vapes usually have high resistance and therefore operate at a low wattage, so seeing this there are e-liquids categories better suited for MTL vaping. Because of the coil type, is ideal to use vape liquid that has a higher percentage of PG. PG is as dense as VG and also it vaporises with ease however it's worth noting that PG gives more of a throat hit than VG, meaning it replicates the feeling of smoking more effectively. In the case you have chosen an Open Pod system, you can selectively choose the liquid going inside your pod, and here at UK ECIG STORE, we suggest you go for the content of PG of 50% or higher. Nicotine Salts e liquids are also compatible with pod kits, as they usually have a higher content of PG rather than VG. They make an ideal choice for those who want a high nicotine content in their e liquid, but want to avoid harsh throat hits they are derivate from the PG content within the e-liquid.
