Pod vape kits are one of the most popular types of vape kit on the market. Their small size and ease of use makes them a convenient option for those who need a discreet device that can keep up with their busy lifestyle. In this post we will be identifying our picks for the best pod vape kits of 2025 to help you find the device that will best suit you.
Prefilled pod kits vs refillable pod kits
There are two main types of pod kits: prefilled and refillable. Each has different characteristics that makes it a good fit for different types of vapers, so lets take a look at the difference.
All pod kits use a plastic pod in place of a tank, and it usually slots into the device making them small and compact. In the case of prefilled pod kits, the pods are purchased already filled with e-liquid and ready to use straight away. Depending on your chosen device, you will have a range of different flavoured pods to choose from which are compatible with your vape kit, however, most prefilled pod ranges are only available in a high nicotine strength which will not be suitable for everyone. Once the e-liquid inside the pod has been used up, the pod can be removed, disposed of, and replaced with a new one.
Refillable pod kits on the other hand utilise pods which can be refilled multiple times with any compatible e-liquid. This gives you the freedom to choose from a much wider range of flavours, but also allows you to select the nicotine strength that most suits your nicotine intake from smoking, so you can manage your nicotine cravings without introducing too much or too little. This is especially good for those who were light smokers and need a lower nicotine strength than is usually found in prefilled pods. The pod can be repeatedly refilled until the coil starts to taste burnt, at which point the pod, or just the coil depending on the device, can be replaced with a new one.
Pod kits also included reusable big puff vapes. Big puff pod kits are designed to offer more e-liquid, meaning a greater number of puffs, than the standard 2ml disposables. They also have bigger batteries to last longer, with some of them even being rechargeable depending on the device.
Some big puff vapes are disposable, meaning they offer the same convenience and ease of use as 2ml disposables. Some are reusable, allowing you to replace the prefilled pods when they are empty.
Best pocket-sized prefilled pod kit
The Lost Mary 4in1 pod kit is proving to be an extremely popular prefilled big puff option. In comparison to many reusable big puff pod kits, the Lost Mary 4in1 offers a relatively small and compact design that can easily fit in your pocket.
The device can be quickly recharged via the USB Type-C charging port, and offers a good amount of battery life between charges to keep you going throughout the day. The kit can hold up to four Lost Mary 4in1 pods at a time and you can rotate the mouthpiece to switch between flavours.
The pods are are available in a choice of 8 of Lost Mary’s most popular flavours, including pineapple ice, blueberry sour raspberry, and double apple. The QUAQ mesh coil means they offer fantastic flavour payoff and a really consistent vaping experience.
Each pod comes prefilled with 2ml of 20 mg/ml nic salt e-liquid, which can satisfy nicotine cravings in just a few puffs and has a smooth inhale with just the right amount of throat hit.
Best prefilled pod kit for flavour range
If you’re looking for strong flavour payoff, the DOJO Blast 6000 pod kit by Vaporesso is a great choice. Paired with a 2ml prefilled pod, along with a 10ml refill container, the DOJO Blast 6000 offers a strong flavour profile.
The DOJO Blast pods are available in a variety of popular flavours, including straw-raspberry cherry, double apple, and kiwi passion fruit guava. If you fancy being adventurous, they offer more unique flavours such as breakfast tea and peanut chocolate.
This pod kit is both reusable and rechargeable, offering a 650mAh built-in battery. The 12ml version of the device offers up to 6,000 puffs and the 24ml version offers up to 12,000 puffs.
Best pod kit for versatility
The CUE 2.0 vape device a compact and lightweight prefilled or refillable pod system that offers the perfect option for those who are frequently on-the-go and need a device that can keep up with their busy lifestyle.
It features a 850 mAh built-in battery that can be fast charged via the USB Type-C charger cable. The battery can last the average vaper for a full day of vaping, but if you need to charge throughout the day the short charging time makes this easy to do, even if you are in a rush!
The versatility of this device is that it utilises both prefilled and refillable pods, depending on the users preference. The refillable pods can be used with any 50/50 or high PG e-liquid, in whichever nicotine strength and flavour you prefer. The prefilled pods are available in a variety of flavours, in a 17 mg/ml nicotine strength.
Best refillable pod kit for beginners
If you would prefer a refillable pod kit that allows you the freedom to choose the exact flavour and nicotine strength that best suits your needs, you might want to check out the Elf Bar ELFX pod kit.
We love this little device for new vapers, as it is so user-friendly and offers a really fantastic vaping experience that well replicates the feel of smoking traditional cigarettes. This is an important factor for a starter vape kit because it helps vaping feel more familiar for ex-smokers as they work to quit smoking.
The ELFX pods for this device can be refilled multiple times with any 50/50 or high PG vape juice, and will only need to be replaced once the coil starts to taste burnt. At this point, the entire pod can be disposed of and replaced with a new one. The pods also have QUAQ technology, designed to improve flavour and increase the lifespan of the pod.
Best pod kit for MTL
If you have been using a prefilled pod vape and are now looking to upgrade to a refillable pod vape kit, with a bit more power and the ability to adjust your device to better suit your preferences, we highly recommend taking a look at the Vaporesso XROS 4 pod kit.
This fantastic vape pod kit maintains the small size of a pod kit and the mouth-to-lung vaping style of a starter kit, but with some additional features that allow you to tailor your vaping experience, like the choice between button activation or inhale activation, and three different operating modes.
The 1000 mAh battery packs plenty of power to keep the average vaper going throughout the day, and an indicator light helps you keep track of the remaining battery power so you know when to think about charging.
The XROS 4 features adjustable airflow, allowing you to control how much air flows through the coil to loosen or tighten the draw according to your preferences.
Best vape pod kit for DTL vaping
If you like pod vapes but are looking for something a bit more advanced, you’ll be pleased to hear there are plenty of options to choose from.
The Vaporesso LUXE X2 is a great introduction to DTL vaping, and lets you ease your way into it. The kit offers either MTL (mouth-to-lung) vaping or DTL (direct-to-lung) depending on which pod you use.
The device has variable wattage that automatically adjusts depending on the pod you are using, giving you more room to personalise your vaping experience to suit your exact preferences.
The LUXE X2 pod kit can be used with either 50/50 or high VG e-liquids, depending on the pod that you are using. It also features a large 2000 mAh internal capacity battery for long-lasting vaping sessions between charges.
Best pod kit for clouds
VOOPOO are veterans of the vaping industry, and their Argus Pro 2 vape pod kit is our pick if you are looking for plenty of vapour production.
With a whopping 2000 mAh built-in battery and a maximum wattage output of 80W, this kit is certainly not lacking in the power department. The handy screen helps you keep track of your remaining battery life, wattage settings, and what resistance coil you are using, and the device also facilitates USB-C fast charging.
Something we really love about this device is that there are multiple coil options to choose from, so you can select the coil that best suits your power settings and feels most comfortable to use. The flavour from the coils is top notch, and as they pair with a high VG e-liquid they can produce thick, dense clouds that will definitely be cloud-chaser approved!
