What are vape pods?

What is a pod?

A pod is a type of e-cigarette that is easy to use and portable. It usually consists of two parts: a small cartridge (pod) that contains e-liquid and a small battery‑powered unit that heats the e-liquid and produces vapor

In vaping there are different types of pods used with so‑called pod systems or pod devices.

Replaceable pod

A replaceable pod is a component used in pod systems or pod devices. This type of pod is designed to be removed and replaced when the e‑liquid is depleted or when you wish to change flavor or nicotine strength. Replaceable pods provide flexibility to use different flavors or liquids without having to buy an entirely new device each time. Here you will find pods with mesh coil and standard coil. There is also a wide range of resistances (ohm) to choose from to customize your vaping experience

Pre‑filled pod

A "prefilled pod" is a prefilled container used in pod systems or pod devices. This type of pod already contains e‑liquid (e‑juice) when purchased and does not need to be refilled by the user. Prefilled pods are simple and convenient to use because they are ready to use straight from the package.

These prefilled pods usually have a sealed container that holds the e‑liquid and an integrated coil (heating element) that heats the liquid. When the e‑liquid is depleted you simply discard the prefilled pod and purchase a new one if you wish to continue using the device.

Prefilled pods are popular among beginners and users who want a simple and hassle‑free vaping experience without having to worry about refilling e‑liquid or changing coils.

Should I choose a pod with a mesh coil or a standard coil?

Pod with mesh coil: A pod with a mesh coil uses a mesh‑coil, which is a type of heating element that has a structure in the form of a mesh or web. This structure can provide several advantages:

• Faster and more even heating: The mesh coil has a larger surface area compared to a standard coil, resulting in faster and more even heating of the e‑liquid. This can lead to an improved flavor experience.
• Greater vapor production: The increased surface area of the mesh coil can generate more vapor, which can give a more impressive cloud formation.
• Better flavor: The mesh coil can provide a more intense flavor experience by heating the e‑liquid evenly and efficiently.

Pod with standard coil: A pod with a standard coil uses a traditional coil without a mesh structure. This type of coil also works effectively and provides an acceptable vaping experience, but some differences may include:

• Heating: A standard coil also heats up, but perhaps not as quickly or evenly as a mesh coil due to its smaller surface area.
• Vapor production: Vapor production from a standard coil may be slightly less than from a mesh coil.
• Flavor: While the flavor experience can still be good with a standard coil, the mesh coil may offer a slightly more intense flavor.

The choice between a pod with a mesh coil and a pod with a standard coil depends on personal preferences. If you are after fast heating, intense flavor and increased vapor production you may prefer a mesh coil. On the other hand, if you prefer a simpler and more basic vaping experience, a standard coil may work well for you.
