Knowing the right type of e-liquid to use with your pod kit is important in order to not only get the most out of the device, but to also ensure that you don't have an unpleasant vape experience. Pod vape kits were typically designed for MTL vaping due to a few specific design elements. These vape kits would operate at lower wattages which results in less vapour being produced. Because of this, e-liquids with a higher PG ratio are best used with these vape kits. 50/50 e-juice also works very well too.

Nic salts are also a great option for pod kits as they come in high PG levels and produce good bursts as flavour as you inhale. If you're someone who has just quit smoking and requires stronger nicotine hits, nic salts can be a great option as they provide fast, strong nicotine hits of nicotine without the harsh throat hit that other e-liquids provide. They are also absorbed quickly into the body in comparison to freebase e-liquids. 

However, as time goes on there are also many pod kits being developed that are capable of performing as a sub-ohm vape (we’ve listed a few products above). If you’re opting for one of these, it’s important to use a high-VG e-liquid to produce the big clouds that sub-ohm vaping is known for.

Pod kits come in two different types; open pod system and closed pod systems. An open pod system features refillable pods, allowing vapers to purchase pods that are compatible with their particular pod vape and fill it with their chosen e-liquid. Other e-cigs that utilise a tank also fall into the category of open systems as you are able to refill the vape with e-liquid as you go. Refillable pods are an excellent choice for those out there who want to delve into the world of different e-liquids, and explore all the many different shortfills or nic salt flavours there are available.

Closed pod systems are pre-filled with e-liquid, so once all of the e-liquid has been vaporised it means that a new replacement must be installed. They are a very convenient option and require little to no fuss. Instead of carrying bottles of e-liquid around to refill your vape pods, you can carry these tiny pre-filled pods and insert them into your pod kit when necessary.

There are a variety of pros to using pod kits, from their efficiency to their convenience. In terms of convenience, pod vapes are unmatched and unrivalled due their small, compact builds. Perfect for popping in your pocket and vaping on-the-go, they take up next to no space and are easy to hold unlike many larger, more clunky box mods. Pod vapes might be mini but that makes them no less mighty. Although they are not designed to produce the large clouds that are associated with DTL vaping, they are great options for flavour chasers and discreet clouds. 

Pod vapes require minimal fuss and are easy to use for even the most beginner vaper. They are mostly both draw and button activated, and when it comes to changing the pods it's as simple as it sounds. There are no messy coil changes required, just simply remove your pod and either refill it if you have refillable pods or attach your new pre-filled pod if you have opted for a closed system instead. 

Pod vapes are also an affordable upgrade from disposable vapes making them an excellent choice for transitioning smokers.

This really depends on how frequently you vape. Generally, vape pods will last between 3-5 days before a replacement pod is needed, but may even last up to 2 weeks depending on the usage.
