Vape Pods
How long does a vape pod last?
This will depend on the type of pod you have, plus a number of other factors. You'll know it's time to replace your pod or coil when the vape starts to taste burnt or begins losing its flavour.
If your pod uses changeable coils, it should last a long time. You should only need to replace it if it becomes cracked, leaky, or no longer holds its coil securely in place.
If your pod has a built-in coil, the length of time it will last you will vary based on your vaping style and frequency, but most of all, it'll depend on the sweetness of your E-Liquids. The sweeter the E-Liquids you vape, the faster your coil will degrade. This is because sweeteners will caramelise around the coil as it heats up over time, eventually causing that nasty burnt taste.
Generally speaking, coils can last anywhere between 1 and 2 weeks, though for pods with built-in coils, this may be shorter.
How are pods different from vape tanks?
Vape tanks were around before pods entered the scene. Tanks are glass reservoirs that sit atop a vape mod, holding the coil and the E-Liquid.
They usually have a number of removable parts and can be dissembled for maintenance. While highly customisable for advanced vapers, tanks weren't the best option for beginners because they had so many parts. Plus, the glass is breakable.
Vape pods offer an easy-breezy alternative to tanks, since they're made of a sturdy plastic material and have only a single piece. Both tanks and pods can be refillable, depending on the type, but pods require much less regular maintenance and cleaning in comparison.
Which pods do I need for my vape kit?
Each pod kit is compatible with a specific pod or range of pods. You can find out which pods are compatible by checking the product description or the user manual.
Often, you'll find that a device is compatible with a series of pods offering different resistances, which is the case with devices like the ones in the Vaporesso XROS series. These kits are compatible with all Vaporesso XROS pods, which come in a variety of resistances. So, when choosing which pods to buy, it's a good idea to consider your vaping style and the amount of vapour you're looking for.
If you want denser clouds and more flavour, opt for a lower resistance. If you like more discreet vapour production and a sharper throat hit, you should choose a higher resistance.
Just be sure when buying pods that you're using the correct type of E-Liquid. For example, the Vaporesso Luxe X pods come in two resistances (one for MTL and one for DTL), and each of these pods is compatible with a different type of E-Liquid.
E-Liquid compatibility will be clearly detailed in the product description for every pod we stock.
