If you already vape and are choosing your next device, the first decision is usually between a compact pod system and a larger vape kit. Neither is “better”; they suit different preferences.
Pod systems
- Small, light and easy to carry.
- Usually simple to use, often with automatic (draw-activated) firing.
- Designed for lower wattages and typically paired with nicotine salt e-liquids.
- Maintenance usually means swapping a pod or a small coil.
Vape kits & mods
- Larger batteries and adjustable power settings.
- Compatible with a wider range of tanks and coils.
- Typically used with freebase e-liquids with a higher VG ratio.
- More settings to learn, and more ways to customise.
Questions to ask yourself
- How long do you need the battery to last between charges?
- Do you prefer a tighter mouth-to-lung draw or a more open direct-to-lung draw?
- How much time do you want to spend on settings and maintenance?
