All In One & Pod Systems

AIO is an acronym for All-In-One devices, much as their name implies these vapes are complete systems. Most kits coming out since Canada's childproofing regulations took place are AIO kits. Instead of a tank that threads onto a mod, or battery, the two are built together. Typically, these are smaller devices with little to no settings, some don’t even have a fire button. AIO vape systems tend to be both pocket and user friendly due to their smaller size and reduced features. This makes AIO vapes very easy to use and good options for people with difficulties with manual dexterity and the technologically challenged.

Pod Vape Kits

Pod systems are AIO vapes that have a removable e-liquid chamber. Most pod systems coming out now include pods for Nicotine Salt liquids as well as Freebase eJuices. Unlike 510 tanks that are interchangeable, pods are proprietary to their vape (ie Caliburn GPP  replacement pods only fit in the Caliburn G3, G4, & G5 devices and the Vaporesso XROS pods only work in XROS kits). In Pod Systems, the user replaces the pod instead of replacing the coil.

Pod Mod systems like the Voopoo Drag S3 Kit differ in that they have replacement pods and replacement coils. Please don’t think that you’ll have twice the hassle with these devices though. In both of these kits, the replacement pods aren't necessary unless the user wants to alternate flavours or replace damaged one. Pod Mod Kits generally have more battery power and adjustable settings.

Open Pod Systems VS Closed Pod Systems

Open Pod Systems take refillable pods where as Closed Pod Systems only work with pre-filled pods. This means that if you purchase a vape that is a Closed Pod System, you will be limited to the flavours manufactured by it’s brand, which could be as few as 5 or 6. You will also want to make sure that it is from a well established brand with readily available replacement pods in your neighbourhood. Rest assured we will never sell a system for which we don’t offer the replacement coils or pods. Unfortunately, we have seen customers return from vacation with cute little vapes picked up abroad that they can’t find parts for locally.

Open Pod Systems, such as the Uwell Caliburn and Vaporesso Xros kits, are refillable, allowing you to select your own flavours and strengths of eliquid. In Canada these systems are more common. While you still need to take care that you can find the appropriate coils or pods for your device, you are not limited to the manufactures flavours. This opens a world of flavour options! Open Pod Systems are also more economical than most closed pod systems.
