Collection: Refillable Pod Vape Kits (Reusable & Rechargeable)

Refillable vape kits, also known as refillable pod kits or open pod systems, are vape devices that can be refilled with an e-liquid of your choice.

A pod is a small container on the device that holds the e-liquid. Refillable vape kits let you remove the pod and fill it with your preferred vape juice.

Benefits include:

• Less waste: Avoid the waste involved with disposable vapes
• Cost-effective: Save money in the long-run, as bottled e-liquids are usually cheaper than pre-filled pods
• More choice Choose your favourite flavoured and enjoy more flavour options
• More control: Tailor your vape to suit your ideal nicotine strength
• Improved quality: Enjoy a better quality, longer-lasting vaping device
• Never be without: Stock up on vape juice so you never have to be without

How do they work?

1. Pod holds the e-liquid: The pod is a small cartridge that you fill with your preferred e-liquid, usually a 50/50 mix or nicotine salts
2. Coil heats the liquid: Inside the pod is a coil (a small heating element) that heats the e-liquid when you inhale or press the button, turning it into vapour
3. Battery powers the device: A built-in rechargeable battery supplies the power to heat the coil. Most UK pod kits have USB-C charging and LED battery indicators
4. You inhale the vapour: You draw on the mouthpiece just like a cigarette (MTL style), making it a great option for those switching from smoking

You refill, not replace: Instead of throwing the pod away like a disposable, you simply refill it with e-liquid and replace the coil (if needed) when performance drops

Reusable (refillable) vape kits are a practical alternative to disposables. Since 1 June 2025, it’s been illegal for businesses in the UK to sell or supply single-use (disposable) vapes — which is why more vapers are switching to rechargeable, refillable kits.

With a refillable kit, you keep the device and simply top up with e-liquid and replace pods/coils when needed.

Let's look at refillable vapes vs disposable vapes in more detail

Sustainability
• Refillable Vapes: Eco-friendly, reusable pods
• Disposable Vapes: Contributes to waste

Cost
• Refillable Vapes: Cheaper over time (buy e-liquid, replace pods)
• Disposable Vapes: More expensive long-term (buy new each time)

Customisation
• Refillable Vapes: Wide variety of flavours and nicotine strengths
• Disposable Vapes: Limited options

Performance
• Refillable Vapes: Better flavour, battery life, and vapour
• Disposable Vapes: Shorter lifespan, less consistent

Legal Compliance
• Refillable Vapes: Meets current regulations
• Disposable Vapes: More restrictions coming

Refillable vape kits come in a few main types — the best choice depends on how you like to vape:

Refillable pod vape kits (most popular)

Compact and easy to use. Fill the pod with e-liquid, charge the device, and replace the pod when performance drops.

Replaceable-coil pod kits

Similar to pod kits, but you change only the coil inside the pod. Great if you want lower running costs and more control.

Higher-power refillable kits

For vapers who want more vapour and airflow. These usually suit thicker e-liquids and use replaceable coils.

Tip: If you want the easiest setup, start with a pod kit and keep spare refillable pods ready.

Before you choose your refillable vape kit, here are the key things to consider:

• Draw style: Prefer a tighter cigarette-style pull (MTL) or a slightly airier draw (RDL)? Many modern pod kits offer adjustable airflow.
• Battery & charging: Look for USB-C charging and enough battery for your day-to-day use.
• Pods & running costs: Make sure replacement pods are easy to get and suit your vaping style.
• Ease of use: If you want simple, choose a draw-activated pod kit. If you like control, choose a kit with adjustable settings.
• Best e-liquid match: Most pod kits perform best with 50/50 e-liquids and nicotine salts.
