The latest and greatest introduction to the vaping world has been closed and refillable pod systems, which have revolutionized the way that manufacturers design and produce new products. First popularized by JUUL, these often-ultraportable devices give you a feel that is very close to traditional tobacco, without any of the ash and tar you would associate with combustible nicotine. Pod systems are here to stay, so why not brush up on a little bit of your pod knowledge?
or the most part, pod systems work best with nicotine salt juice, which is different from traditional e-liquid in that it can carry much higher levels of nicotine without any of the harsh bite or burn you’d get from regular juice. Typically these kinds of systems will feature a “pod” as opposed to a tank, one that will need to be replaced in the same way that a coil on a regular tank needs to be replaced.
If you like your vaping to be hassle-free, convenient, and discreet, you should definitely take a closer look at pod systems. To make it a little easier, we’ve listed our top 10 Vape Pods to help you make a decision.

So which one should you buy?
If you’re still a little bit unsure which Vape Pod will fit with your own personal needs, we’ve simplified it for you to make things a little bit easier. Pod systems can be grouped into three different categories:
Closed-Pod Devices: These devices are the height of simplicity and convenience--no juice refills needed--just pop in a new pod when the old one runs dry. If this sounds right for you, check out the Riptide TFN Vape Pod Starter Kit.
Refillable-Pod Devices: These systems still retain the portability of closed-pod systems, but you can refill the pods with your own juice. These may feature a mix of replaceable pods and coils, depending upon your preferences. If you want to be able to pick your juice and coils, go with a simple system like the Suorin Air Plus and Drop, the Vaporesso Renova Zero, or the Uwell Caliburn.
Pod-Mod Hybrids: These systems tend to be a little less portable, but offer more features like wattage control. If you want a pod system with great features, go with the Voopoo Vinci or the Snowwolf Wocket.
Vape pods have truly revolutionized the industry, so why not try out one of these amazing devices today?
