Why are pod systems so popular?

What is a Pod Vape? 

So, if you’re unsure what a pod system is, it’s essentially an extremely compact vape that uses vape pods rather than your conventional tank. Now, a tank and pod are essentially the same things, but with pod systems, they’re designed specifically for the device to give you an extremely compact setup. Pod systems have been on the market for quite a while now, but the reason why we’re seeing more and more hit the market is that we now have access to nicotine salts. Nicotine salts give you a much more satisfying mouth-to-lung or “cigarette style” vape as compared to its freebase counterpart. 

Pod systems offer many advantages over other vaping devices. The main ones are convenience and simplicity. They’re easy to use, making them more appealing to ex-smokers who don’t want to be bombarded with technical features. But there are benefits to pod vaping that even experienced vapers can appreciate. For example, switching flavours is easier than before. Just pop in a different pod and go.

If you want to conserve e-juice, a pod vape is your best bet. They use less e-liquid in a day, which is more cost-effective and makes them a great pairing for nicotine salts. Additional benefits include needing lower maintenance than other types of vape kits, and coming with a smaller footprint and lower vapor production, which makes them ideal for stealth vaping.

Who should use pod systems?

  • Smokers that want to quit appreciate their simplistic design and satisfying method of delivering nicotine. They also enjoy the cigarette-like draw of smaller pod systems, and the fact that they can use nicotine salt juice to satisfy their cravings.
  • Experienced vapers find that they make great companions to their larger vaping setups, especially for vaping on the go.
  • Stealth vapers gravitate towards these mini vapes for their compact size and discreet cloud production.
