Types of Rechargeable Vapes
Prefilled Pod Kits
Prefilled systems like the Lost Mary BM600, Elf Bar 600, and SKE Crystal Bar 600 use sealed pods that click in ready to vape. When one runs dry, swap it out and carry on. No bottles, no filling, just plug-and-play simplicity that mirrors the disposable experience in a reusable format. The pods come loaded with nic salt e-liquid and an integrated mesh coil, so flavour stays consistent from first puff to last. Ideal for disposable users making the switch or anyone who values fuss-free convenience over customisation.
Refillable Pod Kits
Refillable kits work differently. You fill the pod yourself with any compatible e-liquid, which unlocks hundreds of flavours and significantly lowers running costs since a 10ml bottle stretches far further than buying sealed pods. Most use replaceable coils, so when flavour drops off you swap the coil rather than the whole pod. The Vaporesso XROS 5, OXVA Xlim Pro 3, and VooPoo Argus G3 balance beginner-friendly simplicity with enough flexibility to experiment with different e-liquids and nicotine strengths as you go. Explore our full range of pod kits to find the right fit.
Big Puff Vapes
Big puff rechargeable kits sit between the two. Devices like the Hayati Pro Ultra Plus 25K, IVG Pro 12, and Lost Mary BM6000 pair a TPD-compliant 2ml pod with a larger internal reservoir that auto-feeds as you vape. This setup works well for vapers who want the hands-off convenience of prefilled with extended capacity that keeps you going far longer between pod changes.

Why Does My Rechargeable Vape Taste Burnt?
A burnt hit happens when the coil heats up faster than the wick can draw e-liquid, scorching dry cotton instead of vaporising juice. The most common cause is letting the pod run too low. Once liquid drops below the wicking holes, the next inhale tastes harsh and acrid. Keeping your pod topped up prevents this entirely.
Fresh coils need time to saturate before you fire the device. The process is straightforward: fill the pod, leave it five to ten minutes, take a couple of gentle draws without pressing the button, then you're set. Skipping this step burns the cotton before it's had a chance to soak through, and once that happens the coil is done. Chain vaping causes similar problems from the other direction. Puff after puff without pause doesn't give the wick time to re-saturate, so slowing down slightly helps if you're getting intermittent dry hits throughout the day.
On variable wattage devices, pushing power beyond the coil's range vaporises e-liquid faster than the cotton can absorb. Most coils have a recommended wattage printed on the side, and staying within that keeps things running smoothly. When flavour fades and a burnt taste lingers even after priming and refilling, the coil has simply worn out. Swap in a fresh one and it'll taste right again.
FAQs
Are rechargeable vapes banned in the UK?
No. The June 2025 ban covers single-use disposables only. Rechargeable vapes with replaceable pods or coils remain fully legal and TPD-compliant.
Can you take a rechargeable vape on a plane?
Yes, but only in hand luggage since lithium batteries aren't permitted in the hold. E-liquids follow the usual 100ml liquid restrictions. Vaping onboard or in most terminals isn't allowed.
How long do rechargeable vapes last?
The device itself typically lasts six months to two years with proper care. Coils and pods wear out faster, usually one to three weeks depending on how heavily you vape and the sweetness of your e-liquid.
What's the difference between rechargeable and refillable vapes?
Rechargeable means the battery powers up again via USB-C. Refillable means you add your own e-liquid. Most refillable kits are rechargeable, but prefilled pod kits are rechargeable without being refillable. You swap sealed pods rather than filling them yourself.
