Pod Vapes
The best pod vapes deliver disposable-level flavour in a device you keep and refill. Better for your wallet, better for the planet, and once you find your setup, genuinely better to vape.
Pod Vape Buying Advice For Beginners
If you're a first time vaper (or, more likely, you're coming over from disposables), the world of refillable pod vapes might seem confusing. Don't worry, it's not. In fact, it's not that dissimilar to using disposables — only with refillable pods you don't have to throw them away.
You will need to change the pods every now and then, because the coils inside them burn out. But the good ones last 4–5 weeks between changes. For the easy life, get the Vaporesso XROS 5 or if you want more power and a larger battery, the Vaporesso XROS Pro 2. Both have the best flavour overall, are simple to use, and their COREX pods last 4–5 weeks between changes. That's the best on the market right now (by about 3 weeks).
How Do Pod Vapes Work?
Pod vapes are built around one simple idea — heat the juice, make vapor, and inhale. Here's how it happens:
- Inside every pod vape, there's a battery and a coil.
- The pod holds e-liquid and connects to the battery.
- When you take a puff (or press a button, depending on the model), the battery powers the coil.
- The coil heats up, vaporizing the liquid inside the pod.
- That vapor is what you inhale.
Most modern pod vapes use auto-draw activation, so all you have to do is inhale and the thing kicks into gear. No buttons, no nonsense.
How Long Do Pod Vapes Last?
Good pod vapes will last ages. I've had some that lasted 3+ years. But the bad news is most are pretty poorly put together and are prone to breaking all too easily.
For this reason, you'll want to go with a brand that is known for reliability and performance — right now that'd be either Vaporesso with its XROS series or OXVA with its XLIM series.
These are the best in the business for overall quality, longevity, and reliability. If you want to vape without any headaches, stick with these brands.
How Much Do Pod Vapes Cost?
Pod vapes vary in price from pretty cheap to slightly expensive — none are what I'd consider crazy-money though.
The most you'll pay for a top of the line pod vape is around £34.99 — that's for the OXVA XLIM Pro 2 DNA, the most advanced pod vape on the market.
Less fancy but equally impressive options like the Vaporesso XROS 5 can be picked up for around £22.99.
What Are The Best Pod Vapes Right Now?
For overall ease of use, flavour performance, battery life, and coil lifespan the best pod vape for literally everybody right now is either the Vaporesso XROS 5 for most people, or the Vaporesso XROS Pro 2 for those that want more power and longer battery life.
Both are inexpensive to buy, the flavour they produce is outstanding, and their coils last 4–5 weeks between changes. You literally couldn't ask for more.
