Refillable Vape Kits

A refillable vape kit is a rechargeable device you top up yourself from a bottle of e-liquid. Unlike prefilled pod kits, the pod arrives empty. You choose the flavour, choose the nicotine strength, and refill the pod as often as you need. Refillables cost less to run per millilitre than prefilled equivalents once you count the bottled nic salt or shortfill.

This collection lists the fully refillable pod kits at Local Supplies. Prefilled and big-puff refillable-hybrid kits sit in the main vape kits range. All devices are UK TPD compliant, using 2ml pods and 20mg nic salt maximum. Sold to adult vapers aged 18 and over.

Refillable versus prefilled

The core trade-off is cost against convenience. A prefilled pod kit arrives with the flavour already in the pod. You clip it on, wait for the wick to soak, and vape. A refillable kit hands you the choice of flavour, strength and format, and rewards a bit of patience with a lower running cost.

A 2ml refillable pod topped up from a 10ml bottle of nic salt costs, on average, about a third of what the equivalent volume of prefilled pods would cost. It takes practice to fill without air bubbles and to prime a fresh coil, but once you have the routine down the kit becomes a set-and-forget purchase for months.

Coils, pods and airflow

Refillable pod kits use either an integrated-coil pod (the coil sits inside the pod) or a coil-in-pod system where the coil head unscrews from the pod housing. Both platforms are represented in this collection.

Coil resistance is measured in ohms. A 0.8ohm to 1.2ohm coil in a pod kit gives a tight MTL draw and works well with 10mg or 20mg nic salt at 50/50 VG/PG. A 0.4ohm to 0.6ohm coil opens the draw up and works with higher VG e-liquid. When a coil starts tasting burnt or dull, replace it. Coils and pods sit in the coils and tanks and vape pods collections.

E-liquid for a refillable pod kit

Most refillable pod kit users pair their device with a 10ml bottle of 20mg nic salt or 10mg nic salt. Both formats are 50/50 VG/PG, which is what MTL pod coils are tuned for. For higher-VG vaping in a sub-ohm-capable device, the shortfills range covers 50ml and 100ml 0mg bottles that you boost with a nic shot.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a refillable vape kit? ×

A refillable vape kit is a rechargeable device with an empty pod or tank that you fill yourself from a bottle of e-liquid. Unlike prefilled pod kits, you choose the flavour, strength and VG/PG ratio.

How do I refill a pod? ×

Take the pod out of the device. Open the fill port on the side or top of the pod. Trickle e-liquid in slowly along the side of the pod, avoiding the central airway. Close the port, put the pod back, and wait three to five minutes before the first draw so the wick can soak.

How long does a refillable pod last? ×

The pod housing itself usually lasts one to two months. The coil inside, or the replaceable coil head, lasts one to two 10ml bottles of e-liquid depending on your wattage and the flavour.

Which e-liquid works best in a refillable pod kit? ×

For most pod kits at MTL settings, a 50/50 VG/PG nic salt at 10mg or 20mg. Higher VG shortfills suit only pod kits with a sub-ohm coil. Check the coil resistance in your kit before using a high-VG e-liquid.

Is a refillable kit cheaper than a prefilled kit? ×

Yes, over time. A 10ml bottle of 20mg nic salt typically costs around £3 to £5. That would give you the equivalent of five 2ml prefilled pods. The upfront cost of a refillable kit is higher but running cost is lower after the first month.

How do I know when to change the coil? ×

The taste dulls, or turns burnt. You may see less vapour or hear a spluttering sound when you draw. Change the pod or the coil head as soon as the taste turns. Vaping past a burnt coil is unpleasant and wasteful.

Are refillable vape kits legal in the UK? ×

Yes. Every refillable kit stocked here uses a 2ml pod and is intended for use with nic salt at 20mg per millilitre or lower, in a 10ml bottle. Both limits match UK TPD retail rules.

How long does UK delivery take? ×

Standard tracked delivery is one to two working days from dispatch. Full options are on the shipping page.
