How Long Do Refillable Pods Last?

If you've never used a refillable pod system before, one of the first things you might want to know is, "How long do these pods really last?"  It's a good question because understanding when to change your pod will not only make your vaping experience better, but it will also protect your device.

Let's put it in simple terms.

What Are Pods That Can Be Refilled?

People utilise refillable pods in pod vape kits. They are little parts that look like cartridges.  Refillable pods are different from pre-filled disposables because you can fill them up with your preferred e-liquid several times before you have to get new ones.

They normally come with a coil and wick already installed. When these wear out, the pod stops working, which can make the flavour burnt, the vapour less, or even cause leaks.

How many refills can you expect on average?

Depending on a number of things, a refillable pod can last anywhere from 3 to 7 days, or up to 10 refills.

Type of e-liquid: Coils wear out faster with thicker, sweeter juices.

How often you use it: Chain-vaping shortens the life of the pod.

Settings for wattage: More power makes the coil burn out faster.

Taking care of your pod by cleaning the contacts and not overfilling it can make it last longer.

Some people might only require a fresh pod every few days, while others might need one every week.

5 Signs That Your Refillable Pod Needs to Be Changed

That awful burn in your throat?  Usually, the coil says farewell.

Gurgling or leaking
If a seal or coil gets old, it can cause leaks or spitback that are quite bothersome.

Flavour or vapour that isn't strong
It's an indication when the taste fades and the clouds get thinner.

Liquid that has changed colour
The coil can be becoming worse if your juice seems darker than usual.

Hard Draw
It's time to change the pod if it seems like you're drawing air through a straw that is blocked.

How to Make Your Pods Last Longer

Want each pod to last longer?  Try these:

Use e-liquids that are good grade and have less sweetness.

Keep your pod full to avoid dry strikes.

Let the pod sit for a few minutes after filling it to prime the coil.

If your device lets you, vape at a lower wattage.

Even small things like keeping your vaporiser upright can stop leaks and make your pods last longer.

Last Thoughts

Refillable pods are a fantastic compromise between disposable and full vape kits, but they don't last forever, just like any other part that you use up.  You can vape smarter, longer, and better if you keep an eye on how your pod is working and know when it starts to wear out.

We at Vapeaah want to help you get the most out of your vape setup, whether you're just starting out or want to improve your experience.
