Aspire Gotek S Pod System Kit, UK Version

This is a small refillable vape made by Aspire. You fill it with your own e-liquid, you charge it with a USB-C lead, and when the pod wears out you put a new one in. Nothing about it gets thrown away after a few days.

It is sold one at a time here, and you can pick from five colours.

It is easy to use. There is no button, no screen and nothing to set up. That is why it sits with our other first time switcher kits. It suits someone who has only ever used a cigarette or a bar.

2ml, Not 4.5ml

You may see this vape listed with a 4.5ml pod. That is not the one sold in the UK.

The UK version

Aspire make two versions of the Gotek S. The standard one has a 4.5ml pod. The UK one has a 2ml pod, because UK law does not let a refillable pod hold more than 2ml. Aspire say they send the 2ml version to these countries as standard. [documented: aspirecig.com, Gotek S product page; gov.uk, Tobacco and Related Products Regulations 2016]

So if a customer has read "4.5ml" somewhere, they have read about a version that cannot be sold here. It is the same vape with a smaller pod. The only real difference is that you fill it up a little more often.

The Gotek S Box Contents

The box is simple. Aspire and UK sellers list the same four things: the vape, one refillable 2ml pod with the coil already inside it, a USB-C cable and a small user guide. So a customer can charge it on day one without hunting for a lead.

There is no e-liquid in the box. You buy that on its own.

The coil is part of the pod, so a Gotek S Refill Pod Kit never needs a coil bought on its own. When the taste starts to fade, or it tastes burnt, you swap the whole pod for a new one.

Same Pod As The Gotek X

If you remember one thing about the Gotek S, make it this.

One Gotek pod

fits the Gotek S

fits the Gotek X

Aspire build both vapes around the same pod, called the Gotek pod. So one packet of Aspire Gotek replacement pods fits either one. Nobody has to work out which pod goes with which vape.

Aspire also make prefilled Gotek pods. These come with the liquid already inside, and this vape takes those as well. The pods we sell are the refillable kind, which you fill yourself.

So a customer with either vape can use the same pod. If somebody owns a Gotek X and wants a second vape, the Gotek S uses everything they already have.

Tight Draw Or Loose Draw

There is a small airflow slider on this vape. It changes how much air comes in when you breathe in, and that changes how the vape feels.

Slider closed
Tight pull, close to a cigarette

Halfway
A bit of both

Slider open
Looser pull, more vapour

With the slider closed, the pull is tight. You draw the vapour into your mouth first, then breathe it in, the same way you would smoke. This is called mouth to lung. Most people who have just stopped smoking like it this way.

With the slider open, the pull is looser and you get more vapour. This is called restricted direct to lung. It is still a small vape, though. It is not built for big clouds and it is not meant to be.

To use it, you just breathe in. The vape switches itself on as you draw and off when you stop.

Gotek S Refill Pod Kit Details

Here is everything Aspire list for it, in short pieces.

650mAh battery 3.7V steady power 0.8Ω mesh coil 13 to 16W coil 2ml pod in the UK Fills from the side Magnetic pod Breathe in to fire USB-C charging, 0.5A 74.5 x 40.5 x 20mm

Here is what the less obvious ones mean.

The battery. 650mAh is the size of the battery. UK sellers say it lasts around two days of normal use on one charge. If somebody vapes a lot, it will not last that long.

The power. Aspire rate the coil at 13 to 16 watts. Some UK sellers list the vape at 10 to 13 watts instead. Either way it is low power, which is what a tight, cigarette-style pull needs.

Steady power. The 3.7V means the vape does not get weaker as the battery runs down. The last puff before it needs charging should taste like the first one.

The pod. It clicks into place with a magnet, so there is nothing to screw on. You fill it through a small rubber plug on the side, so you do not have to take anything apart. The pod is clear, so you can see how much liquid is left. New to filling your own? Our refillable vs disposable guide explains how it differs from a prefilled kit.

Safety. UK sellers list Aspire's ASP chip inside, which cuts the power if the battery is overcharged or there is a short circuit.

The size. At about 7.5cm tall and 4cm wide, it is small enough to close your hand around and light enough to forget it is in your pocket.

Aspire Gotek S Pod Kit Colours

Black Blue Pink White Yellow

Five colours are listed above. The body has a see-through, 3D-printed look, so you can see a little of what is inside.

This is where the Gotek S is different from the Gotek X. Inside, the two are very close. They take the same pod and they have the same size of battery. People pick the Gotek S for the way it looks and the way it sits in the hand.

The colour only changes the outside. Every Aspire Gotek S Pod System Kit takes the same 0.8Ω pod, so the vape works the same whichever one you choose. If a customer wants more choice than five colours, the Vaporesso Xros Mini kit is another refillable kit and comes in ten.

Best Liquid For The Gotek S Pod System

Aspire say it works with both nic salts and ordinary freebase liquid. The small coil does best with thinner liquid.

Nic salt, 10mg or 20mg	Yes	Smooth in a tight pull, the easiest match
50/50 freebase	Yes	Thin enough for the 0.8Ω coil
Thick 70/30 shortfill	Not ideal	Made for bigger vapes, too thick for a small pod

For most people, and for anyone coming off cigarettes, our nic salt wholesale range is the simplest place to start.

The first fill needs a little patience. Inside a new pod, the cotton round the coil starts out dry. Give the liquid about five minutes to soak in before the first puff. Puff too early and the dry cotton scorches, and that burnt taste stays until the pod is replaced.

One more thing on liquid. From 1 October 2026 a new duty of £2.20 is charged on every 10ml of vape liquid. A Gotek S Refill Pod Kit comes with no liquid in it, so the duty is paid on the bottles sold with it, not on the kit. [documented: gov.uk, Vaping Products Duty guidance]

Gotek S Kit Wholesale Starts With Pods

For a shop, the kit is only one part of the sale. The pods are the part that keeps coming back.

Gotek S owners + Gotek X owners = one pod to stock

Every Gotek S will need a new pod from time to time, when the taste fades. Because the same pod fits the Gotek X, one pod line looks after both groups of customers. That makes it an easy pod to keep in stock.

So when you plan an Aspire Gotek S Pod System Kit wholesale order, plan the pods at the same time. Stocking the pod well serves every Gotek X owner too, not only people who buy the S.

Liquid is the third part. Keep a few bottles of nic salt and 50/50 near the kits, so nobody walks out with a vape and nothing to fill it with.

If you carry more than one Aspire vape, the rest of the range is in our Aspire pod system kits.

Gotek S Pod Kit Bulk Order Sizes

Each colour is ordered on its own, so you choose how many of each. Here is one simple way to build up an order.

To try it out: one of each colour. That is five kits, and it shows you which colours people pick.

Once you know: more of the colours that went first, fewer of the ones that did not.

Every time: pods and liquid ordered alongside, not later.

An Aspire Gotek S Pod Kit bulk order is also worth thinking about next to the Aspire Gotek X kit. The two are so alike inside that they are really one choice. The Gotek X costs a little less here, so it suits the customer who only cares about price. The Gotek S suits the customer who wants the look.

Many shops will want both on the counter. They use the same pods, so stocking the second one adds a new vape without adding a new pod to keep track of.

Gotek S Pod System Problems

I read it holds 4.5ml, but mine holds 2ml.

That is correct for the UK. The 4.5ml pod belongs to the version sold abroad. Here, a refillable pod can hold 2ml at most.

My new pod tastes burnt.

It was most likely vaped before the cotton had soaked. That taste will not go, so swap in a new pod. With the next one, give the liquid about five minutes before the first puff.

Will my Gotek X pods fit this?

Yes. The Aspire Gotek S Pod Kit and the Gotek X take the same Gotek pods.

The taste has gone weak.

The coil inside the pod is wearing out. Put in a new pod and your Gotek S Refill Pod Kit will taste like new again.

The draw feels too tight.

Move the airflow slider open a little. Closed gives the tightest pull, open gives the loosest.

Nothing happens when I breathe in.

Check the pod has clicked in properly and the battery has some charge. The Gotek S Pod System only fires when the pod is seated and you draw on it.

Can I put shortfill in it?

A 50/50 liquid is fine. A thick 70/30 shortfill is made for bigger vapes and does not suit a small 0.8Ω pod.

Can I mix colours on a Gotek S Kit wholesale order?

Yes. Every colour is ordered on its own, so take as many or as few of each as you like.

How big should my first Gotek S Pod Kit bulk order be?

One of each colour is an easy start, five kits in all. Add the pods at the same time.

How long does one charge last?

UK sellers quote about two days of normal use from the 650mAh battery in the Aspire Gotek S Pod System Kit. Heavy use brings that down.
