Our Guide To Switching From Disposable Vapes to Refillable Pod Vapes

If you’ve been using disposable vapes, you’ve probably noticed how convenient they are—but also how quickly they add up in cost. Switching to a refillable pod kit is one of the smartest upgrades you can make.

Quick Answer: To switch from disposables, choose a pod kit, fill it with nicotine salts, and enjoy better flavour, lower costs, and more control over your vape.


Why Switch From Disposable Vapes?

While disposable vapes are simple, they come with downsides:

  • Higher long-term cost
  • Limited flavour options
  • More waste

Switching to a pod kit solves all of these issues.


What Is a Refillable Pod Vape?

A refillable pod vape is a reusable device where you fill the pod with your own e-liquid.

  • Rechargeable battery
  • Replaceable pods or coils
  • Much more cost-effective

Step-by-Step: How to Switch

1. Choose the Right Pod Kit

Look for a simple, reliable device like the Vaporesso XROS range, Uwell Caliburn, or Aspire GoTek.

2. Pick Your E-Liquid

If you’re coming from disposables, start with nic salts for a similar smooth hit.

  • 20mg if you were a heavy user
  • 10mg for lighter use

3. Fill Your Pod

Open the pod, fill it with e-liquid, and let it sit for a few minutes.

4. Start Vaping

Most modern pod kits are draw-activated, just like disposables.


Cost Comparison: Disposable vs Pod Kit

  • Disposables: €7–€10 per device
  • Nic salts: €6–€8.50 per bottle

Over time, switching to a refillable system saves a significant amount of money.
