Refillable Vapes: Find the Right Kit for You
Refillable vapes give you more control over your choice of e-liquid and how your device operates. Instead of relying on prefilled cartridges, you add a compatible e-liquid to a refillable pod or tank and replace the pod or coil when necessary.
Our collection includes compact pod kits for everyday use, traditional vape pens and more advanced refillable devices. The best choice depends on how you prefer to vape, the features you need and the type of e-liquid you want to use.
What Is a Refillable Vape?
A refillable vape is an electronic vaping device with a pod or tank that can be filled with bottled e-liquid. Most use a rechargeable battery, while some advanced models use removable rechargeable batteries.
Unlike prefilled pod systems, refillable devices allow you to select from a range of compatible e-liquids, including different flavours and nicotine strengths. However, not every e-liquid is suitable for every kit, so it's important to check the manufacturer's recommendations.
Some refillable vapes have built-in coils that require the entire pod to be replaced when the coil wears out. Others use replaceable coils, allowing you to keep the pod or tank and change the coil separately.
Types of Refillable Vape Kits
Refillable vape kits come in several styles, from simple devices designed for mouth-to-lung vaping to more powerful kits with adjustable settings.
Refillable Pod Vape Kits
Refillable pod kits are a popular choice for vapers who prefer a compact device with straightforward maintenance. They use a refillable pod rather than a traditional vape tank, and many offer inhale activation, adjustable airflow or automatic power settings.
Pod kits are available for different vaping styles. Some are designed primarily for mouth-to-lung (MTL) vaping, while others support a looser restricted direct-to-lung (RDTL) draw.
Popular refillable pod ranges include Vaporesso XROS vape kits and pods, OXVA XLIM vape kits and pods and Aspire Gotek pod kits.
Refillable Vape Pens
Vape pens generally have a slim, cylindrical design and use a refillable tank or pod. They can be a practical option if you prefer a familiar pen-shaped device rather than a compact pod system.
Features vary between models, so check the firing method, coil options, airflow and recommended e-liquid before choosing a vape pen.
Advanced Refillable Vape Kits
More advanced refillable kits can offer adjustable wattage, airflow control, larger batteries or removable battery options. Some use refillable tanks with replaceable coils and are designed for direct-to-lung (DTL) vaping.
These kits may suit experienced vapers looking for more control over vapour production and device settings. They can also require more attention to coil resistance, power settings and e-liquid compatibility.
How to Choose a Refillable Vape Kit
When comparing refillable vapes, consider the following features:
-
Vaping style: MTL kits provide a tighter draw, while RDTL and DTL devices offer progressively more open airflow.
-
Ease of use: Inhale-activated devices and automatic power settings can reduce the number of adjustments needed.
-
Pod or coil replacement: Check whether the kit uses replaceable pods, replaceable coils or both.
-
Battery and charging: Consider battery capacity, charging connections and whether the device has an integrated or removable battery.
-
Adjustable features: Airflow and wattage controls can help you tailor the draw and vapour production within the manufacturer's recommended settings.
-
E-liquid compatibility: Match the e-liquid's VG/PG ratio and nicotine strength to the device, coil and intended vaping style.
For a simple everyday setup, a compact refillable pod kit may be a suitable starting point. If you want more control over power and airflow, compare kits with adjustable settings and a wider choice of compatible coils or pods.
Which E-Liquids Work with Refillable Vapes?
Choosing a suitable e-liquid is an important part of using a refillable vape. Compatibility depends on the device, coil resistance, power range and manufacturer's guidance.
Nicotine Salt E-Liquids
Nicotine salt e-liquids are commonly used with lower-powered MTL pod kits. They are available in different nicotine strengths and flavours, but suitability depends on the particular device and coil.
Explore our nicotine salt e-liquids when choosing a liquid for a compatible refillable kit.
50/50 E-Liquids
50/50 e-liquids contain an equal proportion of propylene glycol (PG) and vegetable glycerine (VG). They are commonly recommended for many MTL pod kits and lower-powered devices, although you should always check the specifications of your chosen kit.
Browse our 50/50 e-liquid collection for compatible options.
High-VG E-Liquids
High-VG e-liquids are thicker and are generally intended for devices and coils designed to handle them, such as certain sub-ohm tanks and higher-powered kits. They are not suitable for every refillable pod system.
Always follow the device manufacturer's recommended e-liquid ratios and coil operating ranges rather than assuming that all refillable vapes work with the same liquids.

Refillable Vape FAQs
What is the difference between a refillable vape and a prefilled pod kit?
A refillable vape uses a pod or tank that you fill with bottled e-liquid. A prefilled pod kit uses cartridges supplied with e-liquid already inside. Both types can have rechargeable batteries, but only the refillable system lets you add your own compatible bottled e-liquid.
Are refillable vapes suitable for beginners?
Some refillable pod kits are designed with simple controls, inhale activation and easy filling, making them more straightforward to operate than advanced vape kits. Check the individual device's instructions, maintenance requirements and compatible e-liquids before use.
Can you use nicotine salts in any refillable vape?
No. Nicotine salt e-liquids are commonly paired with lower-powered MTL devices, but not every refillable vape is suitable for every nicotine strength or formulation. Always check the manufacturer's recommendations for your device and coil.
How often should you replace a refillable vape pod or coil?
Replacement frequency depends on the device, e-liquid and usage. A burnt taste, reduced flavour or a noticeable decline in performance may indicate that the coil needs replacing. Some kits require a new pod, while others allow the coil to be changed separately.
Are refillable vapes cheaper to use than prefilled pod kits?
Refillable devices can have lower ongoing consumable costs because you purchase bottled e-liquid and replacement pods or coils separately. However, the total cost depends on the kit, e-liquid consumption, replacement frequency and individual usage.
How do you refill a vape pod?
Locate the filling port according to the manufacturer's instructions, open the seal or filling mechanism and carefully add the recommended e-liquid without overfilling. Close the port securely and allow a new coil to saturate for the period recommended by the manufacturer before vaping.
Why is my refillable vape leaking?
Leaks can result from overfilling, damaged seals, an incorrectly fitted pod or coil, or unsuitable e-liquid. Check that the pod is properly closed and fitted, and follow the manufacturer's maintenance advice. Replace damaged components rather than continuing to use them.
Can you use the same pods with different refillable vape kits?
Not necessarily. Replacement pods are designed for specific devices or compatible product families. Even kits from the same manufacturer may use different pod systems. Always check the exact model and compatible replacement pods before ordering.
When it's time to replace a pod, browse our replacement vape pods collection and confirm compatibility with your device.
