The vapepod has become the default choice for most adult vapers, and it is easy to see why: it is small, simple and satisfying. This guide explains what a vapepod is, the different styles on the market and how to choose one from the Vape & Pod range at VapeClub.
What is a vapepod?
A vapepod is a compact vape made of two pieces: a battery and a removable pod (also called a cartridge) that holds the e-liquid and the coil. There is no tank to assemble and usually no settings to learn. If you are completely new, start with our beginner’s guide to vape.
Closed pods vs open pods
Closed pod systems
Closed systems use pre-filled pods that you replace when they are empty. They are the cleanest and easiest option. The RELX Mini Device is a well-known example.
Open (refillable) pod systems
Open systems let you fill the pod with any liquid you like, which means more flavor choice and a lower cost per millilitre. Devices such as the Geekvape H45, Riil X Aspire or Nano Pod Hannya fall into this group.
Why choose a vapepod?
- Portable – slips into a pocket or small bag.
- Easy – most are draw-activated with no buttons.
- Efficient – low power means small bottles of liquid last a long time.
- Discreet – modest vapor compared with big mods.
What liquid goes in a vapepod?
Most pods use higher-resistance coils (0.6Ω and above) and work best with saltnic juice, which feels smooth at higher nicotine strengths. Pods with lower-resistance coils (around 0.3–0.4Ω) are usually better with low-strength freebase juice. We compare both in saltnic vs freebase.
How to choose a vapepod
- Battery size – a larger mAh rating means fewer recharges.
- Pod capacity – 2ml is standard; bigger pods need refilling less often.
- Coil type – some pods have built-in coils (replace the whole cartridge); others use separate replaceable coils.
- Airflow – adjustable airflow lets you tune a tight or loose draw.
- Spare parts – check that cartridges are stocked. VapeClub carries options such as the Uwell 0.6Ω cartridge in the accessories section.
Looking after your vapepod
Prime a new pod for a few minutes after filling, keep the contacts clean and replace the cartridge when the flavor fades. Our vape care and maintenance guide covers this step by step.
Vapepod or something bigger?

Frequently asked questions
How long does a vapepod cartridge last?
Typically one to two weeks of regular use. Replace it when flavor drops or you notice a burnt taste.
Can I use freebase juice in a vapepod?
Yes, in pods with lower-resistance coils (around 0.3–0.4Ω) and at low nicotine strength. Tight-draw pods work best with saltnic.
Is a vapepod refillable?
Open pod systems are refillable; closed systems use pre-filled pods that you swap out.
Vaping products contain nicotine, which is addictive. They are intended for adult smokers and vapers aged 18+ only and are not for non-smokers, minors or pregnant women. Always check the local regulations that apply to you.
