UPENDS Uppen Pod Kit at a Glance
The UPENDS Uppen Pod Kit is the original refillable, pen-shaped device sold by UPENDS. No1 labels it “Uppens Pod Kits”, but it is a single rechargeable kit with an empty cartridge, not prefilled flavours. Its covered mouthpiece and simple operation distinguish it from adjustable pod kits.
The Cap Fits at Both Ends
The removable cap helps keep dust off the mouthpiece; it does not make the cartridge leakproof. It also fits on the bottom of the pen during use, avoiding a loose cap.
UPENDS describes the clip as 18K gold-plated, not solid gold. The clip helps carry the pen while the cap covers its mouthpiece.
Why the ETCHIP Pod Matters
Inside each original Uppen cartridge is a 1.2Ω ETCHIP mesh coil with flax-based wicking material. It is built into the cartridge. When the coil eventually wears out, the full refillable pod is replaced; this is not a kit for separate screw-in coils.
Magnets guide the pod into place, without a threaded tank connection. This is a fixed-power mouth-to-lung (MTL) device, with no wattage setting to adjust.
An original Uppen spare cartridge could not be verified on No1. The Vaporesso OSMALL 2 kit is a compact alternative with separately listed pods. Do not assume its pods fit the Uppen.
Battery Lights and Controls
The pen starts on an inhale. There is no fire button or display. A small light indicates battery charge:
-
White: approximately 30–100% charge.
-
Red: approximately 1–30% charge.
-
While charging: the red indicator remains on, followed by a white indicator near completion.
UPENDS also lists short-circuit, low-voltage and long-draw cut-offs. These protections do not make a damaged device safe to use. The original pen charges with a supplied USB cable; UK reviewers identify the charging socket as Micro-USB, rather than USB-C.
Uppen Colour Options
The original Uppen has been listed in three named finishes: Grace Black, Classic Silver and Rose Gold. These names are supported by older Uppen retailer catalogues. No1’s public colour dropdown does not confirm current choices or stock.

Filling and Choosing E-Liquid
Remove the cap and cartridge, lift the silicone side stopper, fill gently and reseal it. Leave a fresh pod for several minutes before drawing so the wick can absorb the liquid. Avoid running the pod dry.
A balanced 50VG/50PG e-liquid is a reasonable format for this 1.2Ω, low-power pod. No1's Fresh Vape Co nic salts are sold as 10ml bottles with a stated 50/50 ratio. This shows the liquid format, not a recommended nicotine strength. Thick high-VG shortfills are not a suitable default.
Verify the Uppen Stock Details
For an UPENDS Uppen wholesale enquiry, verify the finish, pod revision, spare-pod supply and actual UK carton. No sealed trade-case quantity is confirmed. The wholesale pod kits collection is suitable for comparing other devices, not for assuming shared cartridge fit.
UK nicotine-vaping products require notification, labelling and no more than 2ml pod capacity. Check the batch before resale. Sales are restricted to adults aged 18 and over.
Questions on Fit and Care
Why does the Uppen vibrate when a pod is inserted?
The original magnetic fitting can trigger a short vibration and light signal as the cartridge seats. If there is no response, inspect the contacts and check that the pod is fitted properly.
What do eight red flashes mean on this Uppen vape pen?
UPENDS says eight red flashes and a vibration indicate low battery voltage. Recharge the device rather than repeatedly trying to fire it.
Does the device stop after a long inhale?
Yes. UPENDS describes an eight-second draw limit. The light flashes five times before it stops that draw.
Can Uppen Plus pods be used with the original Uppen?
Compatibility has not been established. The original Uppen and Uppen Plus are different model names, so only use cartridges specifically confirmed for the original Uppen.
Can I use the Uppen while it is charging?
UPENDS describes pass-through operation for the original device. Follow the supplied charging instructions and stop if the cable, battery or device becomes damaged or unusually hot.
