Vape Pods & Pod Systems

What Are Vape Pods & Pod Systems?

Pod systems are compact vaping devices that use small, snap-in cartridges (called pods) instead of a traditional tank. There are two main types: closed pod systems and open pod systems. Closed pods come pre-filled with e-liquid — you snap one in, vape until it’s empty, and replace it. Open pods have a small fill port so you can add your own vape juice. Both types are draw-activated, meaning there are no buttons to press. You just inhale and go.

Pod systems sit between disposable vapes and full vape kits in terms of convenience. You get the simplicity of a disposable (no coil building, no wattage settings) with the long-term savings of a reusable device. The battery lasts all day for most users, and replacement pods cost a fraction of buying a new disposable every time.

How to Choose the Right Pod System

The biggest decision is closed vs. open. Closed pod systems like STLTH and Level X are the easiest option — just pick your flavour, click in a pod, and you’re set. There’s no mess and no guesswork. Open pod systems give you more flexibility because you can fill them with any compatible vape juice, which means more flavour choices and lower cost per millilitre over time.

Nicotine strength matters too. Most closed pods come in 20mg (2%) salt nicotine, which is the Canadian legal maximum and works well for people switching from cigarettes. If you prefer a lighter hit, look for pods in 10mg or lower. Battery size is worth checking as well — a 400mAh battery will get most people through a full day, while larger batteries in the 600–800mAh range can last even longer between charges.
