What is a Pod in a Vape?
A vape pod is an essential accessory inside a pod vape system.
Pods have space for a coil, which acts as the heating element and stores up to 2ml of e-liquid.
Once a pod vape kit is activated through a fire button or auto-draw, the coil begins to heat the vape juice, turning it into vapour.
Vape pods are all about convenience and are one of the easiest ways to vape wherever you are. There are two types of vape pods:
Pre Filled Pods
Pre filled pods are simplicity personified. You purchase a pre filled pod if you don’t want to worry about filling up e-liquid manually yourself.
Once your chosen e-liquid runs out or the coil life diminishes, all you have to do is throw away the pre filled pod and insert another.
Refillable Pods
But if you seek a longer-lasting pod to vape, look no further than a refillable one.
Depending on the brand and the coil inside, you should be able to get 2-4 refills as a minimum before swapping the coil or pod for a replacement.
With this option, you have more flexibility about the e-liquid inside the pod and can tailor it to personal preference, choosing the nicotine strength and flavour.
Should You Pick an MTL or Sub-Ohm Vape Pod?
Beginners will in most cases opt for an MTL vape pod system.
This is because they closely mimic the setup, throat hit and compact nature of a cigarette.
Typically producing small amounts of vapour from high PG or nic salt e-liquids, it’s the closest you’ll get to smoking without the dangerous toxins.
In contrast, a Sub-Ohm vape pod will produce more vapour with higher VG e-liquids, which are thicker in viscosity, creating a sweeter vape juice experience.
Vapers tend to enjoy these by inhaling directly into the lungs with a lower resistance coil that heats faster and produces a warmer vape.
