You fill them yourself, which is the whole point — pick your own liquid, pick your own strength, and change either whenever you feel like it. That single difference is what separates a refillable system from a sealed one, and it is worth understanding before you order, because the two are not interchangeable and the names look almost identical on a shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree to a box, 2ml each, with a mesh coil sealed inside. When the coil is spent the whole pod is replaced, so there is no separate coil to buy, nothing to unscrew and no wicking to pack yourself. It sits between the two extremes of vaping hardware: more control than a prefilled pod, far less maintenance than a rebuildable tank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey belong to the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.no1vapewholesale.co.uk\/products\/oxva-xlim-pro-pod-kit\"\u003eOxva XLIM Pro\u003c\/a\u003e and the wider XLIM family. No device is included here — these are the consumable half of the system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat makes these the V3 pods\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOxva has run several generations of XLIM pod, and the version number decides how you fill it. That sounds like a minor detail until you have owned both.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe V2 filled from the side, which meant pulling the pod out of the device every single time you topped up — fiddly in the street, worse in the cold, and a reliable way to get liquid on your fingers. \u003cstrong\u003eThe V3 fills from the top\u003c\/strong\u003e, with the port sitting high enough that you can refill without removing the pod at all. That is the entire difference between the two generations, and it is the reason V3 is the one to buy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnderneath sits a five-layer anti-leak seal, which is Oxva's answer to the condensation that collects at the base of most pods and eventually finds its way onto the battery contacts. The UniTech 2.0 mesh coil is built in, and the pod body is clear, so the liquid level is visible without holding it up to the light — more useful than it sounds when you are deciding whether to carry a spare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eChoosing a resistance — Box of 3\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery box contains three pods of one resistance. Four are available and they are genuinely different in feel: the number decides the draw, the wattage the device will run at, and which liquid suits it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e0.4Ω\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e26–30W · restricted direct-lung or direct-lung · shortfills\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e0.6Ω\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20–25W · restricted direct-lung · 50\/50 or shortfills\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e0.8Ω\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12–18W · mouth to lung · 50\/50 and nic salts\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1.2Ω\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10–12W · tight mouth to lung · best with nic salts\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you came off bars and want the same tight, cigarette-like draw, \u003cstrong\u003e1.2Ω with a 20mg nic salt\u003c\/strong\u003e is the closest match — that combination is what most switchers settle on and stay with. If you want vapour and a looser pull, 0.4 or 0.6 with a shortfill is the other end of the range, and the experience is quite different: more air, more cloud, less throat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe middle option, 0.8Ω, is the one to pick if you are genuinely unsure. It handles both nic salts and 50\/50 shortfills without complaint and sits in the range of wattages almost every XLIM device supports.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOne restriction worth knowing before you order\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e0.4Ω pod does not fit every XLIM device.\u003c\/strong\u003e It is limited to the XLIM Pro, XLIM Pro 2, XLIM SQ Pro and XLIM SE 2, because the lower-powered kits in the range cannot drive it properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCheck your device before choosing 0.4Ω. The remaining three resistances fit the range generally and are the safer pick if you are not certain which XLIM you own — the model name is printed on the device body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhich XLIM devices take these pods\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe V3 pod fits across the XLIM family: Pro, Pro 2, Pro 2 DNA, Pro 3, the standard Kit, SE, SE 2, SQ, SQ Pro, Go and Classic. That breadth is unusual — most brands change pod format every generation, which strands owners of older devices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe one exception is the \u003cstrong\u003eXLIM C\u003c\/strong\u003e, which uses a different cartridge entirely and will not take these.

On refills after the first, when the cotton is already wet, about a minute is enough.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe coil is not removable. When flavour drops off, or the pod tastes muted no matter what you put in it, the pod itself is finished rather than the liquid being at fault.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat to fill them with\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe resistance decides the liquid rather than the other way round, and getting this backwards is the most common source of complaints about pods that are working perfectly well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1.2Ω and 0.8Ω\u003c\/strong\u003e suit \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.no1vapewholesale.co.uk\/collections\/wholesale-bulk-nic-salt\"\u003e10ml nic salts\u003c\/a\u003e and 50\/50 blends — thinner liquid, tighter draw, higher nicotine, lower power.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e0.6Ω and 0.4Ω\u003c\/strong\u003e suit \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.no1vapewholesale.co.uk\/collections\/shortfill-e-liquids\"\u003eshortfills\u003c\/a\u003e at lower nicotine, where the extra vapour is the point and 3mg is plenty.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePutting a thick high-VG shortfill in a 1.2Ω pod is the mistake that comes up most. The wick cannot draw liquid fast enough to keep the coil wet, so you get dry hits on a pod that is otherwise fine — and replacing the pod will not fix it, because the pod was never the problem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reverse is less damaging but still worth avoiding: a thin 50\/50 nic salt in a 0.4Ω pod at 28W will taste harsh and burn through liquid quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow long a pod actually lasts\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne to three weeks for most people, and the range is that wide because the liquid matters more than the vaping does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDark, sweet liquids — desserts, custards, anything heavy on sucralose — caramelise on the coil and shorten its life considerably. A pod that would run three weeks on a light citrus might last five days on a dessert flavour. Lighter fruit and menthol blends are far kinder, and if you are getting through pods faster than you expect, the liquid is usually the reason rather than the hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuying three at a time is the practical response to that variability. It covers a month for most people and removes the risk of running out with a spare pod nowhere in reach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRefillable or prefilled — which you actually want\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese are refillable. You buy liquid separately, and in exchange you control the flavour and the strength completely — including dropping to 10mg or 3mg, which sealed pods do not offer at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe trade is that you have to carry a bottle and remember to fill. If that sounds like more work than you want, sealed \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.no1vapewholesale.co.uk\/collections\/prefilled-replacement-pods\"\u003eprefilled pods\u003c\/a\u003e are the alternative — no filling, no choice of liquid, and a fixed 20mg. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.no1vapewholesale.co.uk\/blogs\/news\/disposable-vapes-vs-refillable-vapes\"\u003eThe two approaches compared\u003c\/a\u003e sets out honestly what each asks of you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCost is the other consideration. A refillable pod plus a bottle works out considerably cheaper per millilitre than sealed pods do, but only if you actually use it that way rather than buying pods and never filling them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere these pods sit under UK rules\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUK regulations cap a pod containing nicotine at 2ml, which is why every compliant refillable pod on the market is that size. The cap applies to the pod itself, not to the bottle you fill it from — which is why you can buy 100ml of liquid but only ever hold 2ml in the pod. \u003cem\u003e[documented — gov.uk, Tobacco and Related Products Regulations 2016]\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRefillable hardware sits outside the single-use vape ban entirely.

No e-liquid and no device — both are bought separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich resistance should I choose?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1.2Ω for a tight cigarette-like draw with nic salts, 0.8Ω for a slightly looser mouth-to-lung, 0.6Ω for restricted direct-lung, 0.4Ω for the most vapour. If you are unsure, 0.8Ω handles the widest range of liquids and devices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo these fit every XLIM device?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlmost. They fit the Pro, Pro 2, Pro 2 DNA, Pro 3, Kit, SE, SE 2, SQ, SQ Pro, Go and Classic. They do not fit the XLIM C, and the 0.4Ω version is limited to the Pro, Pro 2, SQ Pro and SE 2.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between V2 and V3 pods?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fill port. V2 filled from the side and had to be removed from the device; V3 fills from the top while still fitted. Everything else about the format is the same.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I change the coil inside the pod?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The mesh coil is fixed. When it stops performing the pod is replaced as a unit — which is why there is no separate coil to buy for this system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long does one pod last?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTypically one to three weeks. Sweet or dark liquids shorten coil life considerably; lighter fruit and menthol blends stretch it well past a fortnight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy does my pod taste burnt after refilling?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsually because it was vaped too soon after filling. Give a new pod three to five minutes and a refilled one about a minute before drawing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use any e-liquid in these?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAny refillable liquid, but match it to the resistance. High-VG shortfills need 0.4 or 0.6Ω; nic salts and 50\/50 blends belong in 0.8 or 1.2Ω.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need the XLIM Pro kit as well?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnly if you do not already own an XLIM. These are pods alone — no battery is included, and they cannot fire on their own.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OXVA","offers":[{"title":"0.8","offer_id":44672516260066,"sku":"","price":4.72,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1.2","offer_id":44672516292834,"sku":"","price":4.72,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"0.6","offer_id":44672516325602,"sku":"","price":4.72,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"0.4","offer_id":44672516358370,"sku":"","price":4.72,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0682\/3215\/1266\/files\/oxva-xlim-pro-pod-v3-replacement-pods-pack-of-3-no1-vape-wholesale-790773.jpg?v=1714406751","url":"https:\/\/www.no1vapewholesale.co.uk\/products\/oxva-xlim-pro-pod-v3-replacement-pods-box-of-3","provider":"No1 Vape Wholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
