There are seemingly almost as many ways to enjoy vaping as there are vapers, with some attracted to beefy cloud-spewing advanced vape kits or, at the other end, sleek, simple and discreet pod kits. For a huge swathe of vapers, the super-convenient disposable vape device is king, while others prefer the control and versatility offered by reusable, refillable pod kits.
One style of vape kit, however, is gaining increasing popularity among vapers, and that is the Prefilled Disposable Pod Kit. At first glance, they may appear strikingly similar to disposable vapes thanks to their all-in-one design, stylish colours and affordable prices. Look a little closer, though, and you’ll see that Prefilled Disposable Pod Kits offer a unique fusion of the convenience of disposables with the versatility afforded by refillable pod kits. Indeed, since they’re worth a closer look, in this blog we will delve further into the world of Prefilled Disposable Pod kits to explore their benefits, the type of e-liquids they use, what factors to consider before choosing one, and more.
What are Prefilled Disposable Pod Kits?
Prefilled Disposable Pod Kits, or Prefilled Pod Kits, are compact vaping devices that feature a built-in battery component and compatible pods with a capacity of 2ml. Those pods come prefilled with flavoured e-liquids, usually in a Nicotine Salt formulation for faster relief from nicotine cravings and a smoother throat hit. They also contain a built-in coil – the element that vaporises the e-liquid when the device is activated. Like disposable vapes, once the e-liquid has been consumed you simply throw away the pod. Unlike disposable vapes, however, you retain the rechargeable battery component and simply pop in a new disposable pod. As we will see, that difference can be significant.
You might also see prefilled disposable pod kits referred to as closed pod systems, alluding to the fact that the pods aren’t accessible for coil changes or e-liquid refills.
What are the Benefits of Prefilled Disposable Pod Kits?
The main allure of Prefilled Disposable Pod kits lies in their convenience and portability. They are designed to be compact, lightweight, and easy to carry around, making them ideal for on-the-go vaping. Additionally, Prefilled Disposable Pod kits eliminate the need for refilling or carrying separate e-liquid bottles or changing out coils, simplifying the vaping experience enormously. With a wide range of flavours available, users can enjoy different flavours without the need to carry additional bottles of e-liquid. Compared to other vaping devices like vape pens or mods, Prefilled Disposable Pod kits are often more beginner-friendly and provide a smoother transition into the world of vaping.
Friendlier to the environment than disposable pod kits
While not hugely eco-friendly, Prefilled Disposable Pod Kits arguably offer a preferable alternative to fully disposable vapes. That’s because by retaining the rechargeable battery component, you aren’t disposing of the lithium battery inside, which can be harmful to the environment if the case is damaged. Furthermore, by only disposing of the pod, there is less plastic waste than fully disposable, all-in-one vapes. This makes Prefilled Disposable Pod Kits a great alternative for disposable vapers who might be uneasy about the amount of waste their vaping produces.
What E-liquid is used in Disposable Pods?
Like fully disposable, all-in-one vapes, Disposable Pods typically contain Nicotine Salt e-liquid. Nicotine Salt e-liquids, often referred to as nic salts, are designed to mimic the strength and sensation of the nicotine found in a traditional tobacco cigarette. Although they are primarily intended for use with Pod Kits, nic salts can in fact be used with any tank with a higher resistance coil, usually between 0.8ohms and 1.4ohms. Nic salts with a low nicotine strength, around 5mg-10mg, can even be used in sub ohm devices at low wattages, offering a combination of intense flavour and a satisfying throat hit. Nicotine salts also deliver nicotine to the bloodstream far quicker than standard nicotine-containing e-liquids, providing more immediate relief from cravings.
