Prefilled Replacement Pods
Replacement Pods UK: Prefilled Replacement Pods for Every Major Device
Replacement pods are pre-filled, 2ml nicotine salt cartridges designed to slot into a compatible prefilled pod kit device. They contain e-liquid at up to 20mg nicotine strength and are fully notified to the MHRA under the Tobacco and Related Products Regulations 2016, making them legal for purchase by adults aged 18 and over in the United Kingdom. We stock replacement pods for every brand and device we sell, so you can keep your kit running without having to buy a new device.
What Are Replacement Pods and How Do They Work?
A replacement pod is the cartridge part of your prefilled pod kit system. It holds the e-liquid and the coil that heats it. When the liquid in your current pod runs out, you remove it, click in a replacement, and carry on. The device, with its rechargeable battery and circuitry, stays with you indefinitely. Only the pod gets replaced.
Every replacement pod we sell is pre-filled at the factory with nicotine salt e-liquid. You do not fill it yourself. You do not need to handle raw nicotine liquid. You just swap it in. This makes replacement pods ideal for adult vapers who want the simplicity of a prefilled system without the inconvenience of starting fresh with a whole new device every time.
Under UK law, every pod must hold a maximum of 2ml of e-liquid and must not exceed 20mg per millilitre nicotine strength. Every replacement pod in our range meets both requirements and has been notified to the MHRA prior to sale. We verify this before listing any product.

Are Replacement Pods Compatible with Any Device
This is the most important thing to understand about replacement pods. They are not universal. Each pod is designed for a specific device or device family. A Lost Mary BM6000 replacement pod will not fit an Elf Bar Elfa Pro. An IVG Smart Max pod will not fit an IVG Air. Always buy the replacement pod listed as compatible with your exact device model.
We have made this as straightforward as possible on our site. Every replacement pod listing clearly states which device it is for. Our replacement pods section is organised by brand. If you search for your device brand, you will find the correct pods. If you are ever unsure, contact us and we will confirm compatibility before you order.

How to Get the Most from Your Replacement Pods
How to Make Your Replacement Pods Last Longer
Replacement pods have a finite life, but how you use them makes a difference. A few habits that experienced vapers develop early:
- Do not chain vape. Taking puffs in quick succession without pause can overheat the coil inside the pod and burn the liquid faster than it can soak back in. Give the device a few seconds between draws.
- Keep the device upright when not in use. Storing your pod kit on its side or upside down can cause the liquid to pool unevenly and potentially affect the coil saturation. Upright is best.
- Do not let the pod run completely dry. Vaping a pod past the point where the liquid is gone will burn the coil and give you a harsh, unpleasant taste. When flavour starts to drop off noticeably, change the pod rather than pushing it further.
- Store spare pods somewhere cool and away from direct sunlight. Heat and UV light degrade nicotine salt liquid over time. A drawer or cupboard is fine. A car dashboard in summer is not.
- Buy a couple of pods at a time. Having a spare pod ready means you are never caught out. Multi-buy deals on our site bring the per-pod cost down too, so buying three or four at once makes financial sense.
What Nicotine Strength Should I Choose
Choosing the Right Nicotine Strength for Your Replacement Pod
Most replacement pods in the UK come at 20mg nicotine strength. This is the maximum allowed under the Tobacco and Related Products Regulations 2016 and is the strength that UK public health guidance recommends adult smokers start at when making the switch to vaping. The 20mg nic salt formulation delivers nicotine quickly and smoothly, mimicking the hit of a cigarette without the harshness that a 20mg freebase liquid would produce.
Some brands also offer their pods at 10mg. This suits lighter or social smokers, or vapers who have been using nicotine products for a while and want to reduce their intake gradually. If you are unsure which to start with and you are a regular smoker, begin at 20mg. You can always step down to 10mg once you are comfortable with the switch.
Replacement Pods FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know when to change my replacement pod?
Flavour intensity drops noticeably when a pod is running low. You may also get a slightly burnt or muted taste. Reduced vapour production is another sign. When any of these happen, it is time for a new pod. Do not push through a burnt taste as it means the coil is being damaged.
Are replacement pods recyclable?
The pod casing is typically plastic. In the UK, vape pods containing batteries or electronic components should be taken to a WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) recycling point. Some prefilled pod kits only have the battery in the device, meaning the pod itself may be recyclable through standard plastic streams, but this varies by brand. Check your local council recycling guidance or visit https://www.recyclenow.com for location-specific advice.
Can I refill a replacement pod?
Replacement pods are designed as single-use cartridges. Attempting to refill them by pulling apart the pod casing can damage the coil, leak liquid, and affect device performance. We do not recommend refilling prefilled replacement pods. If you want the option to choose your own e-liquid, an open-system pod kit paired with a bottled nic salt is the right route.
Why does my new pod taste slightly different from the last one?
This can happen for a few reasons. Batch variation in e-liquid formulation is normal across manufacturing runs. The coil in a fresh pod also needs a short break-in period. Take a few lighter draws when you first install a new pod before vaping at full draw. If the taste is dramatically different or unpleasant, contact us.
Are all replacement pods the same price?
No. Pod prices vary by brand and how many puffs they deliver. Higher-capacity pods typically cost more but deliver better value per puff. Check each product listing for pricing. Multi-buy discounts on popular pods are available in our multi-buy deals section.
