What is a refillable vape pod?

A refillable vape pod, also known as an open pod, is a small, reusable cartridge that holds your e-liquid and a built-in coil. Once attached to your device, it’s ready to use in seconds. Unlike pre-filled pods, which are thrown away once empty, refillable pods can be topped up several times before needing replacement. Each vape pod refill provides a clean, consistent flavour experience with minimal waste and lower long-term cost, making them a popular choice for vapers who want convenience, control, and sustainability.

Why choose a refillable pod?

Refillable pods offer flexibility, value, and ease of use, all in one compact design. Here’s why many vapers prefer them:
•    Cost-effective: Save money by refilling with your own e-liquid instead of buying disposables or pre-filled pods.
•    Eco-friendly: Reduce waste by reusing pods multiple times before replacing them.
•    Customisable: Choose from hundreds of vape pod refills and e-liquid flavours to suit your taste and nicotine strength.
•    Low-maintenance: Quick to fill, easy to clean, and no complex settings to adjust.
•    Perfect for beginners: Simple operation with reliable performance every time.

How to refill a vape pod

To refill your pod, follow these simple steps for a smooth, leak-free experience:
1.    Detach the pod from your device.
2.    Open the refill port. This is usually covered by a silicone plug or under the mouthpiece.
3.    Slowly fill the pod with your chosen e-liquid, leaving a small air gap at the top.
4.    Wait five minutes before vaping to allow the coil to fully absorb the liquid and prevent dry hits.
5.    Reattach the pod to your device and start vaping.

When to refill a vape pod

To know when to refill your vape pod, make sure to check your e-liquid level regularly. You’ll know it’s time to refill when the pod looks empty, the vapour becomes weaker, or you experience a burnt taste or dry hits - all signs that the coil is running dry.

What e-liquids can you use in a refill vape pod?

Using the right e-liquid keeps your refillable pod performing well for longer and delivers consistent flavour throughout each refill. Compatible options include: 
•    50/50 PG/VG blends: The best balance for smooth flavour and easy wicking.
•    Nicotine salts (10–20mg): Great for ex-smokers, they offer fast absorption with a gentle throat hit.
•    Freebase e-liquids (3–12mg): Ideal for lighter vapers who prefer a more traditional vape experience.
Avoid high-VG liquids; Thick 70/30 blends can clog small pod coils and cause burnt hits.

What types of vapes are refill pods compatible with?

Refill vape pods are designed for use with compatible pod systems - compact, low-powered devices that deliver smooth, flavourful vapour. Some kits can use both refillable and pre-filled pods, giving you the flexibility to swap depending on your day. Explore our range of refillable vape kits to find a compatible device.

Do I need a coil with my refill pod?

This will depend on the refill pod and vape that you choose. Some refillable vape pods come with built-in coils, while others use interchangeable ones to extend lifespan. Always check which replacement vape pod or coil fits your device, as compatibility can vary between brands.

How long do refillable pods last?

A refillable vape pod can typically be refilled 6 to 10 times, lasting around a week to 10 days for most users, depending on how often you vape and the type of e-liquid you use. Over time, the coil will naturally wear down, leading to reduced flavour or vapour. To extend pod life, use 50/50 e-liquids for smooth wicking, avoid letting the pod run completely dry, and keep the coil area clean. Once the flavour weakens or vapour output drops, it’s time to swap in a replacement vape pod for the best performance.

How to clean a refillable vape pod

Regular cleaning helps extend the life of your refillable vape pod and prevents flavour mixing.
1.    Detach the pod from your device and remove the coil if possible.
2.    Rinse the pod gently with warm (not boiling) water to remove residue.
3.    Swish to loosen any stubborn e-liquid build-up, then repeat if needed.
4.    Air dry completely for several hours before refilling to prevent leaks.
We recommend keeping a spare pod handy so you can clean one while using another, meaning you’ll never be without your vape.

Are refillable pods suitable for beginners?

Yes. Refillable vape pods are perfect for beginners who want simplicity without being tied to disposables. They’re easy to fill, cost-effective, and work with a huge range of e-liquids, giving you the freedom to experiment with flavours and nicotine strengths as you go.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often do I need to change my refillable pods to vape? ‍

You can expect to refill each pod multiple times, typically 4 to 6 refills per pod before needing to replace it. Pods start to lose flavour or performance due to coil wear or e-liquid residue. Regular maintenance, such as cleaning and using mid-viscosity blends like 50/50 e-liquids, can extend pod reusability and minimize waste. When you notice muted taste or reduced vapour, it’s a good sign to swap in a fresh pod and keep enjoyment high.

How many times can you use a refillable vape pod? ‍

A refillable vape pod can typically be reused several times, depending on how well you maintain it, most users refill their pods 4 to 6 times before the flavour or performance starts to decline. Pods last longer when you: Use mid-Viscosity e-liquids (like 50/50 blends) that wick smoothly. Refill before hitting the ‘max fill’ line to reduce flooding. Clean the pod and coil area regularly to prevent residue buildup. Change the coil when taste or vapor diminishes. Pro Tip from Vapourcore: When you notice muted flavours or reduced vapor after refilling, it’s a good sign to replace the coil or, if supported by your kit, swap the entire pod.

What Nic Salts or E-Liquids should I use in my refillable vape pods? ‍

The best e-liquids for refillable pods typically have a 50/50 PG/VG ratio, offering ideal wick absorption, smooth vapour, and excellent flavour clarity. For nic salts, stick to low-wattage, mouth-to-lung (MTL) devices and avoid high-strength VG-heavy blends that can clog coils quickly. Tips for optimal performance in Vapourcore’s refillable pod kits: Choose nicotine salts with 10 – 20 mg/mL strength, especially if you’re transitioning from smoking—smooth, effective, and satisfying. Keep your e-liquids in the medium viscosity range for better wicking and less leakage. If you enjoy freebase e-liquids instead, look for classic 50/50 blends in mild-to-medium strengths (3–12 mg/mL) to preserve pod life and flavour. Why it matters: Using the right e-liquid ensures cleaner wicks, consistent flavour, more refills per pod, and smoother vaping overall—perfect for users of Vapourcore’s refillable kits.

Do I need an open or closed pod? ‍

That depends on your vape kit! An open pod is a refillable pod that allows users to fill the pod with the e-liquid of their choice. Closed pods, however, only work with certain devices, cannot be opened and come prefilled with the manufacturer's own e-liquid.

How long does a refillable pod last? ‍ ‍

Refillable pods can last anywhere between 6 and 10 refills before needing to be replaced. For the average user, this is usually around a week to 10 days of use.

When do I need to refill with e-liquid? ‍ ‍

Apart from looking into the pod to see how much e-liquid remains, noticeable indications come from 'dry hits' - where the vapour has little to no flavour or a burnt taste - or when your e-liquid colour turns dark.

How do I refill a vape pod? ‍

To refill your pod with e-liquid, disconnect it from your device and find the refill port by removing the mouthpiece or silicone plug. Slowly fill the pod with e-liquid. If it is a new pod, let it sit upright for at least 5 minutes before vaping to ensure optimal vapour production and coil absorption.

How much do new refillable pods cost? ‍ ‍

It tends to be brand-dependent as the cost of refillable pods varies based on the number of pods included in each pack and the coil quality. If you purchase a pack of three pods, you can expect to pay between £5-8, while four-packs typically range from £8-12. Buying just one or two pods is possible, but this option is generally less economical.

What e-liquid should I use in my refillable pods? ‍ ‍

Pods and pod vape kits usually work best with thinner e-liquids high in PG concentrations or with a 50:50 PG:VG blend. Thicker e-liquids can cause burnt coils and dry hits because the smaller coils and wattages in pod kits are not powerful enough to heat the e-liquid.

How do I clean a refillable vape pod? ‍ ‍

Detach the pod from the device and remove the coil if possible.
Fill a bowl with warm (not boiling) water and submerge the pod.
Gently swish the pod in the water to loosen any residue. Repeat as needed.
Once the residue no longer comes off, remove the pod from the water and let it dry for a few hours before using it again.
