Refillable Vape Kits

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

Non-disposable vapes aren’t new, but changes in UK legislation have made them more popular.

With the ban on the sale and supply of disposable vapes in the UK taking effect on June 1, 2025, refillable vape kits are quickly becoming the go-to alternative. 

They comply with all the latest UK regulations to ensure you’re vaping safely and legally.

Plus, they deliver the same smooth, flavourful vape you’re used to with the added bonus of better performance and longer-lasting use!

Refillable pod kits are generally most suited to 50/50 e-liquids and nicotine salts.

Remember, you always need to make sure your vape kit is compatible with your chosen e-liquid.

How long do they last?

The exact lifespan of each vape depends on your personal use and maintenance. However, if you look after your kit, you can expect it to last for over several months to a year.

Clean them regularly, avoid charging them overnight, and replace pods and coils as needed, to extend their lifespan.

Who are refillable vapes for?

Refillable vapes are ideal for anyone looking to customise their vaping experience. 

They make it easy to choose your perfect flavours and nicotine strengths, and deliver a better quality experience than disposables.

The 2025 UK disposable vape ban means they're great for anyone looking to make the transition from disposable vapes to a legal alternative.

How do you refill them?

Refilling a reusable vape is easy:

1. Begin by taking the pod out of the device
2. Look for the refill port, usually covered by a rubber or silicone stopper
3. Open the port and gently fill it with your preferred e-liquid, making sure not to spill over
4. Once filled, seal the port and snap the pod back into place
5. Allow the e-liquid to sit for about 5 minutes to soak into the coil, preventing dry hits

After that, you’re ready to enjoy your vape!
