Refillable Vape Pods

Refillable vape pods—also known as open-system pods—give you full control over your vaping experience. Unlike prefilled pods, these are empty cartridges designed to be filled with your choice of vape liquid, whether you prefer nicotine salts or standard 50/50 e-liquids.

As more vapers move away from single-use disposables (now banned in the UK), refillable pods offer a more sustainable, economical alternative—without sacrificing simplicity or satisfaction.

Refillable Vape Pods

What Are Refillable Vape Pods?

Refillable vape pods are removable cartridges used with pod vape kits. They contain:

  • A chamber for your vape liquid
  • A built-in or replaceable coil
  • A mouthpiece
  • A refill port (usually rubber-sealed for leak prevention)

To use, simply fill the pod with your favourite e-liquid, insert it into your device, and enjoy smooth, consistent vapour. When the flavour fades or the coil wears out, replace the pod or the coil, depending on the design.

Why Choose Refillable Vape Pods?

✅ Use Any Compatible E-liquid
Unlike prefilled pods, you can fill these with your favourite flavours, in the nicotine strength that suits you.

✅ Better Value
Refillable pods offer significant savings over time, especially when paired with budget-friendly shortfills or nic salts.

✅ Eco-Friendly
Less waste compared to disposable vapes or throwaway prefilled pods.

✅ Simple & Convenient
Quick to fill, compact, and user-friendly—perfect for vaping on the go.

Compatible Vape Kits

Refillable pods are designed for open pod systems, such as:

  • Vaporesso Xros Series
  • Uwell Caliburn Series
  • Oxva Xlim
  • Voopoo Argus Pod Systems
  • GeekVape Sonder & Wenax

Make sure to check coil compatibility—some pods come with integrated coils, while others use removable coils, giving you more flexibility and longer pod life.

Best E-Liquids for Refillable Pods

Refillable pods work best with:

  • Nicotine salt e-liquids (smooth, fast-acting)
  • 50/50 PG/VG vape juices (balanced flavour and vapour)
    Avoid high-VG liquids, as they may not wick properly in smaller pod coils.

When Should I Replace a Refillable Pod?

You’ll know it’s time to replace your pod (or coil) when:

  • Flavour is dull or burnt
  • Vapour production is reduced
  • Leaking or gurgling starts
  • Pod has been refilled multiple times (usually 5–10 times)

Refillable vape pods are the ideal solution for vapers seeking more choice, value, and flexibility. They offer the same convenience as disposables, but with better performance, less waste, and greater customisation. Whether you’re switching from prefilled pods or starting fresh, refillable pods give you full control over your vape.
