Refillable Pod Kits
A refillable pod vape lets you choose your own e-liquid and nicotine strength, then keep the same kit and refill it as you go. This shelf runs from compact MTL kits to bigger-battery models with a looser RDL pull. Firing styles include auto-draw, Boost / Eco and adjustable wattage.
Before you pick a refillable pod vape
You are choosing between a tight, cigarette-style draw and a looser, airier pull, and then between a kit that fires when you inhale and one you can adjust. These are refillable kits, so you fill the pod with your own e-liquid and flavour and strength stay your call. Most are listed as MTL / RDL, with a handful leaning towards RDL or DTL. Settle the draw first and the rest narrows quickly.
Ninety kits is a lot to scroll, so here is a quick steer:
- Making the switch from cigarettes: start with a small MTL kit and keep the controls simple.
- Tired of recharging: look at the bigger batteries further down the range.
- Already know the output you like: choose a kit with adjustable wattage, and a screen if you want to see it.
A refillable vape, which some people call a reusable vape or an e-cigarette kit, is a battery with a pod you open, fill, close and use. When the battery runs low you recharge it, and when the pod runs low you refill it. These refillable pod kits stay with you rather than being replaced.
Narrowing it down
Work through four choices in this order: the pull, the battery, how the kit fires, and how much you want to adjust.
Start with the pull
Buyers usually ask about the draw before anything else, and it decides more than any spec number. If you are coming from cigarettes, take MTL: the resistance on your lips feels familiar. Most of the shelf is MTL / RDL, including the Smok Novo 6, Lost Vape Thelema Nano and DotMod DotPod Plus. For something looser, the VooPoo Argus E40 is listed as DTL / RDL, and the VooPoo Argus Matrix and VooPoo Vinci E80 are listed as RDL / MTL.
Small battery or a big one
Battery sizes run from 650 mAh to 4500 mAh. The Lost Vape Ursa Nano S2 and DotMod DotPod Lite are both 1000 mAh, the compact end of the shelf. The Smok Novo 6 steps up to 1700 mAh, and the DotMod DotPod Max Lite to 2100 mAh. For the biggest cells, look at the Vaporesso Armour G at 3000 mAh or the VooPoo Vinci E120 at 4500 mAh.
Inhale and go, or set it yourself
Four kits are listed as Auto-Draw or Boost / Eco rather than adjustable wattage. The OXVA Xlim GO 2 and Vaporesso XROS 5 Mini are Auto-Draw, so you inhale and they fire. The OXVA NeXlim 2 Mini and OXVA NeXlim Go are Boost / Eco. If you would rather not think about settings, choose one of these four. Most of the rest are listed as adjustable wattage, with the VooPoo Argus Matrix listed as adjustable power. A few listings give no function, so check the product page.
Plain kit, or room to grow
If you want the least fuss, the Smok Novo Classy and Uwell Caliburn G4 Classic are straightforward MTL / RDL kits with adjustable wattage. If you like having more to tune, the OXVA Xlim Pro 2 DNA runs an Evolv DNA chipset, and the VooPoo Argus G4 Mini uses a Gene AI.2.0 chipset. For a screen you can read, the OXVA Xlim 3 Ultra has a 2.2 inch display, and the OXVA Xlim SQ Pro 2 is a square touchscreen kit. If you already like OXVA, the models above are a good place to start.
Liquid and pods to go with it
Every kit needs your own e-liquid. Browse e-liquid for the full range, or go to nic salts for pod-style liquids. Nicotine is addictive, so check the strength on the bottle and pick one that suits you. Replacement pods are under vape pods. If filling your own does not appeal, our prefilled pod kits skip that step.

Refillable Pod Kits FAQs
Is a refillable pod kit the same as a reusable vape?
Yes. A refillable vape, a reusable vape and an e-cigarette kit all describe a device you keep, recharge and fill yourself. This page is made up of refillable pod kits, so whichever you choose, you add your own e-liquid to the pod.
Should I buy a pod kit or a tank-style kit?
I am making the switch from cigarettes. Where do I begin?
Choose an MTL kit, since the tighter draw is closer to a cigarette. The Smok Novo Classy and Lost Vape Ursa Nano S2 are both MTL / RDL with adjustable wattage. Nicotine is addictive, so pick your strength carefully.
What is the difference between auto-draw and Boost / Eco?
Auto-Draw kits, such as the OXVA Xlim GO 2 and Vaporesso XROS 5 Mini, fire as you inhale, with no button to press. Boost / Eco kits, such as the OXVA NeXlim 2 Mini and NeXlim Go, give you a choice of two modes.
What e-liquid goes in these kits?
You supply your own. Look at nic salts if you want a liquid made for pod kits, or shortfills if you prefer to mix your own. Check the strength on each bottle, and remember nicotine is addictive.
