Prefilled Vs Refillable Pod Vape Systems

Are you new to vaping, and aren’t sure which device to choose? One of the most simple yet effective devices is the vape pod. These generally have improved capabilities compared to basic vape pens so they will provide a satisfying result while still being super easy to use.

When it comes to pods, there are two choices—prefilled vape pods and refillable vape pods. With prefilled systems, you purchase a vape device along with pods prefilled with e-juice. Once one pod runs out, you can dispose of it and click on a new pod. With refillable pod systems, the tank that holds the e-juice can be refilled instead of being replaced. These systems both have pros and cons that largely depend on your lifestyle and vaping preferences.

Here are the key factors to consider when choosing between a prefilled and refillable pod system:

1. Convenience

If you like keeping things simple and efficient, then prefilled pods may be the best choice for you. Since the pods already contain e-juice, you don’t need to spend time filling the tank by hand. This means less mess and fewer gadgets such as droppers are needed. Prefilled pods are a convenient choice especially when you are on the go and don’t have time to stop and refill your tank. Prefilled pods make great pod starter kits as you don’t really have to think about them; just click and go!

2. Flavour

With refillable pods, you have more choice when it comes to e-liquid formulas and flavours. Since prefilled pods are only compatible with a specific device, you have to choose e-juice from the same brand. With a refillable device, you will have much more choice when it comes to e-liquid and can choose e-liquid from a range of brands as long as the PG/VG ratio suits your device.

3. Cost

In the long run, refillable pods turn out to be cheaper than prefilled pod systems. A bottle of e-juice used with a refillable pod will last you longer for the cost than a prefilled pod will. That said, if you are trying to switch from smoking and aren’t sure if you want to invest in vaping long-term, a prefilled pod kit is a good starting point. It’s a cheaper way to get all the components needed to try vaping, then you can think about switching to refillable pods later on.

4. Nicotine strength

The great thing about vaping is that you can use it to slowly decrease your nicotine intake, and even wean off nicotine altogether if you choose. Using a refillable pod will make this process easier. Due to the larger range of e-juice available for refillable pods, you will be able to choose products with a lower amount of nicotine as you go. Prefilled pods generally have one or two nicotine strengths available so it is much more difficult to reduce your intake.

5. Maintenance

Prefilled pods also come out on top when it comes to maintenance. Refillable pods require more maintenance to ensure a pleasant vaping experience, and this might include changing the coils or tank on your device. With prefilled devices, a new coil and tank are built-in to each replaceable pod, so maintenance is not something you need to worry about.
