What Is A Ban Proof Vape?
A ban proof vape is simply a vape that’s legal in the UK, fully TPD compliant, and meets all the required regulations. Many of today’s ban proof vapes are also more cost effective and environmentally friendly, reducing landfill waste since most are designed to be rechargeable and reusable.
How To Refill A Vape?
There are several ways to refill a vape, but first you’ll need to make sure your device is actually refillable and not prefilled. With a refillable vape kit, you’ll get a pod that contains a coil with a specific resistance. Different coil resistances work best with certain e-liquids, helping you get the best flavour and avoid burnt hits or a loss of taste. Here’s a simple step by step guide to help you refill your pod.
1.Simply remove the pod from the device and check whether it’s on a top fill or side fill design.
2.Open the filling port, then insert the nozzle of your chosen e-liquid into the pod to fill it.
3.After filling, allow the pod to sit for 5-10 minutes to ensure the coil is fully saturated. This helps prevent dry hits and ensures a smooth vaping experience.
What Types Of E-liquid Are Best For Refillable Vapes?
The ideal e-liquid for your refillable vape depends on the resistance of your pod. Here’s a quick guide to help you choose the best match:
0.4Ohm – Is a lower resistance for a warmer vape and increased vapour production. Ideal for direct-to-lung vaping with high VG e-liquids, such as 80VG/20PG and 70VG/30PG.
0.6Ohm – Also suited for DTL vaping, offering a slightly tighter draw. Best paired with 70VG/30PG e-liquids.
0.8Ohm – This is suited best with 70VG/30PG at a higher wattage, and 50VG/50PG at a lower wattage.
0.9Ohm – A balanced option that works well for both mouth-to-lung and DTL styles, offering a good mix of flavour and vapour with a 70VG/30PG and 50VG/50PG e-liquid.
1.0Ohm – Suited for MTL and great for getting nicotine satisfaction without the harshness. Great with 50VG/50PG.
1.2Ohm – Higher resistance that produces less vapour and a cooler inhale. Great for MTL vaping with a cigarette like feel, especially when using 50VG/50PG e-liquids.
Best Refillable Vape In The UK?
It’s tough to pick just one as the best refillable vape, but several brands stand out in the refillable kit market, including Vaporesso, Voopoo, OXVA, Uwell, Aspire, and Geekvape. Vaporesso offer a variety of Xros models, including compact mini versions that make excellent refillable kits. The OXVA Xlim Pro series is another reliable choice, alongside the hugely popular OXVA Go Pod Kit. Meanwhile, Uwell have just introduced the latest version of their Caliburn, the G4 which is a next gen device that takes the vaping experience to the next level.
Are Prefilled Pod Vapes Suitable For Beginners?
Yes prefilled pod vapes are an excellent choice for beginners thanks to their simplicity and ease of use, often ready to go straight out of the box. They typically come with either a prefilled pod alone or a pod plus a refill container. All you need to do is connect the refill container to the pod and slide it into the device until it clicks into place. Most prefilled pods are draw activated, so there’s no need to mess around with any buttons or settings, just inhale. They’re also ideal for ex smokers, as prefilled kits usually come preloaded with nicotine, commonly 20mg (2%), making it easy to satisfy those cravings right away.
