Open pod systems come with refillable, reusable pods. You can fill these pods with your choice of e-liquid, which makes these systems ideal for people who want more control over their vaping experience.
However, if you’re going to invest in an open pod system, it’s vital that you know something about e-liquids and how to choose them. You’ll also want to make sure you’re not filling the same pod with too many different flavours, which can cause residue from previous e-liquids to affect the taste of the e-liquid your pod is currently using (this is known as flavour creep).
Closed pod systems are much easier to set up and start using, because they come pre-filled with e-liquid and typically snap right into your device. No need to refill these pods—you just chuck ‘em when you’re done with ‘em and snap in a new one.
Using a closed pod system can help you maintain better quality control over your e-liquids, since you’ll be limited to choices made specifically for your device. Of course, that’s also the downside with closed systems: they don’t offer as wide a range of potential flavour options.
Take a look around the internet and you’re bound to find a broad spectrum of opinions on whether open or closed pod systems are better. Instead of giving you our subjective opinion on the matter, we’ve opted to compile a list of the benefits to each system.
The SMOK Novo 4 is a relatively small and light open pod system that’s easy to store and carry with you on trips. It gives you adjustable airflow controls, and comes with an easy-to-read OLED screen. Here are a few other key features:
The STLTH is designed to closely mimic the experience of smoking cigarettes for people who have recently made the switch to vaping. It is designed to be extremely compact, light, and simple to use—and its pods are recyclable, which helps solve the issue of waste that occurs with some other closed pod systems.
