What Is a Vape Pod?
Vape pod systems provide a convenient and easy-to-use alternative to traditional vaping devices. Their compact size, simple operation, and pre-filled or refillable pods make them suitable for both beginners and experienced vapers looking for a hassle-free vaping experience.
What is a vape pod?
Let’s start with a basic question: what is a vape pod? It generally consist of two main parts:
- A base unit that contains the battery.
- A pod that holds the e-liquid and often the coil as well.
You can simply insert the pod into the base unit and start using it. Once the e-liquid runs out, you can remove the pod and replace it with a new one. It is that simple.
There are two types of vape pod systems: open and closed. While open pod systems allow you to refill pods, closed ones need to be completely replaced. Since closed systems are more popular and widely used, our article will focus on these.
You can purchase vape pod kits, such as the Juicy Jane pod kit, which includes the base unit and a couple of pods. These are great options for beginners looking for an easy-to-use vaping device.
How do pods work?
Vape pod systems work similarly to disposable and non-disposable vaping devices. The main difference is that they do not have a built-in e-liquid tank.
Here is how vape pod systems work:
- Vape pods consist of a battery and a pod that holds e-liquid and usually a coil, which heats up when you activate the device.
- The vape activates automatically when you inhale or by pressing a button.
- The battery powers the coil, causing it to heat up quickly.
- As the coil heats, it turns the e-liquid into vapor.
What are the advantages of a vape pod system?
Vape pods offer convenience, ease of use, and many other benefits. It is no surprise they are among the most popular vaping products. Here are the top reasons to give them a try!
1. Variety of flavors
There is a clear trend in the vaping industry: new products tend to have higher puff counts. While this allows users to enjoy their favorite flavors longer, higher e-liquid capacity means less variety in flavors.
Fortunately, pod systems offer a possible solution. Most pods have smaller e-liquid capacities and are available in a wide range of flavors, making them great for those who are ready to try different options.
2. Reduced ecological impact
Disposable vapes are often criticized for their ecological footprint. Pod systems have a significantly lower environmental impact, as the base unit can be reused multiple times.
3. Cost efficiency
Looking to reduce your vaping costs? Pod systems tend to be more budget-friendly because you can keep the base unit for a much longer time, only needing to buy pods when you run out of e-liquid.
4. Convenience
Vape pod systems are great for beginners who are new to vaping. There is no need to mess around with refilling tanks, changing coils, buying new batteries, and dealing with other technical issues.
