Draw-Activated, No Buttons
There is no fire button and nothing to unlock. Inhale on the mouthpiece and the device fires.
LED Battery Screen
The LED screen shows the battery level as a percentage. The 800mAh built-in battery charges over USB-C and lasts up to a full day between charges.
No Refilling Needed
Each pack is sealed and prefilled, with the 2ml pod topped up automatically from the 4ml refill container. There is no separate bottle to carry and nothing to top up by hand.
Familiar Pixl Flavours
These are the same Pixl recipes across the range, so the taste carries over from one pack to the next.
Best-Selling Pixl 5000 Pods Flavours
Out of 16 flavours, these are the ones Pixl vapers keep coming back to across the range, so they are a good place to start:
Blueberry Raspberry leads with sweet blueberry and a sharper raspberry underneath, the two balancing each other so neither takes over. A ripe, jammy fruit blend that vapes easily all day. An easy first pick if you want a crowd-pleasing berry with no ice.
Blueberry Sour Razz carries the same blueberry base but adds a proper sour raspberry kick on the exhale. Tart and sweet at once, bright rather than sugary. One for anyone who likes a bit of an edge to their fruit.
Cherry Ice pairs rich dark cherry with a clean menthol finish that cools the sweetness down. The ice holds it crisp and refreshing rather than syrupy. A solid choice if you want fruit with a cold edge.
Pineapple Ice brings juicy, tangy pineapple with a cooling menthol chill on the exhale. Tropical and sharp, the ice giving it a refreshing lift. The brighter pick of the two ice blends here.
Juicy Peach is soft, ripe peach that tastes true to the fruit, sweet without tipping into candy. Smooth and mellow from first draw to last, with no ice to cut through it. A good fit if you prefer a rounded, gentle fruit flavour.
All 16 Pixl 5K Pods Flavours
The 2ml pod and the 4ml refill container in every pack are both filled with the same flavour, in 20mg nic salt.

FAQs
Is the Pixl 5000 rechargeable?
Yes. The Pixl 5K Kit has an 800mAh built-in battery that charges over USB-C. You swap the refill packs when they run dry and the device is kept and reused.
How long does a Pixl 5K pack last?
A pack gives up to 5,000 puffs. The real number depends on how you vape, with longer draws giving you fewer puffs overall.
Can you refill Pixl 5000 pods with your own e-liquid?
No. The pods are sealed and prefilled, so they cannot be opened or topped up. If you want to use your own bottled e-liquid, the Pixl nic salts range brings many of the same flavours to a refillable kit.
Do Pixl 5000 pods fit the Pixl 8000 or Duo 12?
No. Each Pixl kit uses its own packs, so Pixl 5000 pods work with the Pixl 5K Kit only. They do not fit the Pixl 8000 or the Duo 12.
How do you turn the Pixl 5000 on?
There is nothing to switch on. The device is draw-activated and fires as you inhale, with no unlock steps.
What nicotine strength are Pixl 5000 pods?
Pixl 5000 pods come in 20mg (2%) nic salt at a 50/50 ratio, and 20mg is the only strength available in the range.
What is the difference between the Pixl 5000 and Pixl 8000?
The Pixl 5000 is the more compact, draw-activated option with a 6ml pack and 16 flavours. The Pixl 8000 holds a larger 12ml pack, adds a fire button and Boost mode, and covers 40 flavours.
How many cigarettes is a Pixl 5000 pack equal to?
A full pack is roughly the equivalent of 200 cigarettes, though this always depends on how you vape.
Which disposable does the Pixl 5000 replace?
Pixl's single-use vapes were banned in the UK in June 2025. If you switched from a Pixl disposable, you will find the familiar flavours here in a refillable format.
