What is a pod vape? A beginner’s guide
A pod vape — also called a closed pod system — has two parts: a rechargeable battery (the device) and a pre-filled pod that clicks or snaps on. When the pod runs out, you replace only the pod.
How it works
- Charge the battery with a USB-C cable.
- Attach a pre-filled pod — most connect with magnets.
- Draw from the mouthpiece; most are draw-activated.
- When the pod is empty, remove it and attach a new one.
Pod vape vs disposable
| Pod vape | Disposable | |
|---|---|---|
| You keep | The battery | Nothing |
| You replace | The pod | The whole device |
| Cost over time | Lower | Higher |
More detail: disposable vape or pod system.

Will any pod fit my battery?
No. Pods only fit batteries of the same series. Check that the series name in the product title matches your device.
WARNING: Vaping products contain nicotine, a highly addictive chemical.
