Not anymore. Most refillable vape kits now use USB-C fast charging, which can take your device to 80% in as little as 30 minutes. Brands like OXVA, Vaporesso, and Aspire have made rapid charging standard on their latest models.

Go Smoke Free Tip: Keep a short USB-C cable with your vape for quick top-ups during the day. Even a 10-minute charge can get you through an evening, so you’ll never be caught without power.

Not at all. Refillable vapes are designed for lasting battery life. A typical built-in battery of around 1500mAh will comfortably last a day or longer. Devices with Smart Power or Eco modes help manage energy automatically, so you can vape more and charge less.

Go Smoke Free Tip: If you’re a heavier vaper, look for kits with larger batteries (around 2000mAh) or choose one that allows pass-through charging so you can vape while it’s plugged in.

Refilling is simple and clean. Most refillable pods now feature a top-fill port with a rubber seal. You just pop it open, add your e-liquid, and close it securely. There’s no need to dismantle anything or use special tools.

Go Smoke Free Tip: When refilling, leave a small air gap at the top of your pod. This helps prevent leaks and keeps airflow smooth.

Coils and pods last longer than most people think. Depending on how often you vape and the type of e-liquid you use, they can last from seven to fourteen days. The flavour will naturally fade when it’s time for a change, but replacing a pod or coil takes seconds.

Go Smoke Free Tip: Avoid chain-vaping (taking multiple long puffs quickly) as it can shorten coil life. Take steady draws and let your device rest for a few seconds between puffs.

Refillable vapes are easy to maintain. Just charge the battery regularly, keep the contacts clean with a tissue, and replace the pod when needed. You don’t need any tools or technical know-how to keep your vape running smoothly.

Go Smoke Free Tip: If you’re switching from disposables, start with a compact pod kit. They’re designed to feel familiar and only take a few minutes to get used to.

They actually taste better! Thanks to mesh coil technology, refillable pods heat e-liquid evenly for a cleaner, more consistent flavour. You’re not stuck with one flavour per device either, switch pods or refill with something new whenever you like.

Go Smoke Free Tip: If you prefer strong, fruity flavours like those found in disposables, try nic salt e-liquids from Elf Bar, IVG, or Elux. They deliver the same smooth, sweet taste but with better control and value.

Yes, absolutely. Refillable kits are designed to work perfectly with nic salts, which give a quick nicotine hit and smooth inhale. You’ll still get the same satisfaction, just with less waste and more choice.

Go Smoke Free Tip: If you used 20mg disposable vapes, start with the same nicotine strength in nic salt form. You can always step down gradually as your cravings reduce.

Definitely. Most popular disposable vape brands now make bottled nic salts or prefilled pods in the exact same flavours. That includes Elf Bar, Lost Mary, Elux, IVG, and Bar Juice 5000, all available at Go Smoke Free.

Go Smoke Free Tip: When switching, pick your top two or three favourite disposable flavours in nic salt form. This keeps the transition familiar while you explore new options.

Only to begin with. The upfront cost of a refillable device is slightly higher, but it pays for itself quickly. One 10ml bottle of e-liquid costs less than a single disposable vape and can last several days, so over time, you’ll save a substantial amount.

Go Smoke Free Tip: For best value, look out for our multi-buy e-liquid deals and bundle offers on refillable pod kits. They’re ideal for staying stocked up without overspending.

You’ll usually get one to two weeks out of each pod or coil, depending on usage. Light vapers might get even longer. Once you notice flavour fading or a slightly burnt taste, it’s time to change.

Go Smoke Free Tip: Keep a spare pod or coil handy. Swapping early keeps the flavour fresh and prevents overusing a worn-out coil.

Yes, by a long way. A single refillable vape can replace hundreds of disposables, reducing battery and plastic waste. The smaller packaging footprint also helps cut down on landfill waste.

Go Smoke Free Tip: Recycle your empty e-liquid bottles and pods where possible. Many local vape shops and recycling points now accept used vape components.

Leaking is rare with modern designs as most pods use silicone seals and pressure-balanced systems to prevent any e-liquid escape.

Go Smoke Free Tip: Store your vape upright and avoid leaving it in direct sunlight or extreme heat, as this can cause e-liquid to thin and seep out.

Not at all. Many refillable vapes are just as simple as disposables. Most are inhale-activated, meaning you don’t even need to press a button.

Go Smoke Free Tip: If you want an easy start, look for compact pod kits from Aspire, SMOK, or Vaporesso. They’re reliable, user-friendly, and ideal for first-time switchers.

Refillable vapes give you full freedom of flavour and e-liquid choice, while prefilled pod kits come ready to click in and use straight away. Both are rechargeable, but prefilled pods remove the need to refill entirely.

Go Smoke Free Tip: If you prefer ultimate convenience, try prefilled pod kits from Elf Bar, Lost Mary, or SKE Crystal. They’re the perfect middle ground between disposables and refillables.
