BenjaminRefillable vape pods are the most intriguing and debatable type of vape device among the vaping community. Unlike the very informative discussions about comparisons between other vaping devices, the discussions about vape pods are way more complicated. Instead of providing better information about certain vaping devices, the discussions for vape pods are more of building a stigma for the device. But in this read, a more in-depth analysis will be conducted to flesh out the benefits of vaping on refillable pods, including the most underrated factors. Unraveling the in, out, and everything in between regarding refillable pods. Discussing the problems that seem to be not made by real vapers while breaking the stigma caused by these so-called problems.
The Most Underrated Sides of Refillable Pods
A refillable vape pod starter kit is often underrated for three major reasons: lack of performance, price in the long run, and, believe it or not, lack of variety in terms of vaping experience. All of these so-called problems will be answered with their corresponding solution respectively. Starting with the first one, the lack of performance is when certain vapers are not satisfied with the power draw of a refillable pod.
Performance Issues
First, most refillable pods, including the non-refillable variant, have less than 500 mah battery capacity. Only a few recently released vape pods have more than the battery capacity. Each puff done on both types of pods is set to a fixed wattage power draw. This threshold in wattage is there to increase the number of puffs achievable on one refill. And also to cater an almost all day round vaping needs. Comparing refillable pods over having a long vaping experience using a variable or mechanical vape mod will surely result in a very unsatisfactory verdict. But for a smoker planning to shift to vaping as a smoking cessation, pods’ performance and power draw, especially the refillable one, is adequate enough to provide a far better experience than a regular cigarette. It will be fair and logical when pods are compared with other pods of a different model and brand regarding the performance department. If this logic is applied, there will be no problems regarding a refillable pod’s performance.
Maintenance Issues
This issue primarily comes with the cost of maintaining a refillable pod to have it work properly, most notably with the changing of OCC. Although this issue somehow holds substance, only a fraction of it is accurate to be considered viable. The OCC costing or the lack of availability of OCC spares for certain vape pods only exists on non-reputable brands. But with reputable vaping brands with a steady supply of OCC and upgrade support for years, it is not a problem. The simple solution is to buy vape devices only for those reputable vaping brands. These brands continue to upgrade their OCC and other vaping peripherals for their product models and guarantee an almost endless supply and support for these types of components. And sometimes, a better price range as time goes by.
Lack of Variety?
The last and the least problem for refillable vapes is the need for more variety. This problem still exists in the present day but is 100% not viable enough to be a problem in modern-day vaping. Even the non-refillable pods now have a lot of variety in flavors and aesthetic factors for a vaping device. Yes, it can be true when refillable pods are just recently released in the vaping market. But with many salt-nic e-liquid flavors being updated every month, it is impossible to try them all out. Tons and tons of flavors are being released in the vaping market dedicatedly for refillable pods, with some flavors not even seen in the entire vaping history. Salt nic-based e-liquids are now way cheaper than when it was first released as a new kind of e-liquid variant.
Final Thoughts
Owning a vape pod starter kit is never a headache to the vaping community. There are stigmas that have no clear basis around this type of vaping device. Stigmas are somehow being made by non-vapers who just want to ruin the popularity of vape pods for being such a more appealing and effective smoking cessation to smokers converting to vape. Real vapers know how to respect all types of vaping devices as they all share the same purpose of why real vapers stick to vaping—to have a better lifestyle and quit smoking.
