Disposable vapes are the most popular vaping products today, and they’re responsible for helping millions of people make the switch to vaping. They’re wasteful compared to reusable vapes, though, and that’s why many of the people who start vaping with disposables end up switching to refillable vapes in the long run.
If you’re thinking about switching to a refillable vape, this article is the guide for you. In it, we’re going to list the best refillable vapes that you can buy today. We’ll start with the simplest devices and work our way up to the most advanced ones, making it easy for you to find the one that’s perfect for where you are in your vaping journey. Let’s jump in.
Vaporesso XROS 4 Mini
Tiny stick-shaped pod vapes are all the rage these days, and the Vaporesso XROS 4 Mini might represent the absolute peak of that design if you love simplicity. The XROS 4 Mini is a simple inhale-activated vape with no onboard controls except for an airflow slider, which means that all you need to do is fill a pod, drop it in and enjoy.
The fact that the XROS 4 Mini has no onboard controls doesn’t mean that there’s no way for you to adjust the device’s vapor output. That’s because the XROS 4 Mini works with all Vaporesso XROS pods, which are available in a huge range of resistances from 0.4 to 1.2 ohm. The lower the resistance is, the bigger and warmer the clouds will be. Feel free to tinker with the different pods until you find your sweet spot.
Another feature of the XROS 4 Mini is that its flavor quality is absolutely spectacular thanks to Vaporesso’s new COREX 2.0 technology. Boasting a new mesh coil shape for enhanced vapor production and a microfiber cotton blend for improved wicking action, the performance of Vaporesso’s latest XROS pods is truly impressive.
Geekvape Peak
If you’re looking for a refillable vape that’s a bit more capable and gives you a wider range of options for power and airflow, the Geekvape Peak – made by the same company behind the famous Geek Bar brand of disposable vapes – is exactly what you want. It gives you the wider range of vaping possibilities that you’re looking for without being significantly more complicated than what you’re using now – especially if you’re already using a disposable vape with adjustable settings like the Geek Bar Pulse. As an added bonus, the Geekvape Peak even has a shape that looks a bit like a disposable vape. It’s even a bit smaller than some disposables since it doesn’t need to provide storage for 15-20 ml of vape juice.
The Geekvape Peak has a 1,300-mAh battery that provides support for up to two days of vaping at power levels up to 20 watts. It also allows you to toggle between three different output levels – low, medium and high – by tapping the button three times. The Peak has adjustable airflow, which you can change by rotating the dial on the bottom of the pod. An additional benefit of this device is that the pod has its filling port on the top – so you can refill it without removing it from the device.
Geekvape Sonder Q
Small, simple and straightforward, the Geekvape Sonder Q is ideal if you love stick-shaped refillable vape pens. You’re particularly likely to love it if you’re a fan of Geek Bar disposable vapes and want to switch to a refillable vape that offers similar flavor quality.
The Geekvape Sonder Q uses Geekvape Q pods, which are available in resistances ranging from 0.6 to 1.2 ohm – so although the Sonder Q has no onboard controls apart from an airflow slider, you can still affect the device’s intensity and vapor output simply by using a different pod. The Sonder Q operates at up to 20 watts – and with the airflow control, it can deliver anything from a tight mouth-to-lung vape to a fuller direct-to-lung hit.
Although the Sonder Q is very easy to use, it’s packed with convenience features. You’ll love the top-filling pod, which allows you to refill the device while the pod is still in it. The battery also charges quickly, and the capacity of 1,000 mAh will be enough for many people to last through two full days of vaping.
SMOK Novo Master Box
Speaking of refillable vapes that look and work a bit like disposable vapes, we think that you’ll really like the SMOK Novo Master if you’re currently using one of the many popular vapes using the common mini-box visual style. Apart from the fact that it has a refillable pod, the SMOK Novo Master looks and works much like the disposables you’re using now. The airflow control is right there on the side of the device, and the Novo Master also uses the same type of Normal Mode/Boost Mode operation that’s been popularized by many recent disposables. Just double-click the button to switch between the two modes and instantly enjoy bigger clouds and a more intense experience. Unlike most of the simpler reusable vapes on the market, the Novo Master supports both puff-activated and button-activated firing.
Along with its many other features, we also think that the SMOK Novo Master is one of the nicest looking vapes on the market. It has dramatically more eye appeal than most disposable vapes, and it’s even small and light enough to wear around your neck using the included lanyard. As an added convenience bonus, the Novo Master also supports USB-C charging with a maximum charging rate of 1.4 amps. When connected to a compatible USB port, the Novo Master’s 1,000-mAh battery charges in well under an hour.
Vaporesso XROS 4 Nano
You might assume that you need to buy a larger device if you want a refillable vape offering features like variable wattage and big cloud production. While that may have been true in the past, it’s a completely different story now that the Vaporesso XROS 4 Nano exists. This device seems almost impossibly small, but it somehow manages to include features that used to be the sole domain of full-fledged vape mods.
The biggest feature of the XROS 4 Nano is that when you use it with the 0.4-ohm XROS pod, you’ll enjoy full wattage control and can use the device at any power level up to 30 watts. With other XROS pods, you’ll instead have the ability to select from three pre-configured power levels (low, medium and high). The XROS 4 Nano also has adjustable airflow and supports both button-based and puff-based firing.
The other big feature of the XROS 4 Nano is one that you can’t help but notice from the first time you look at the device: It has a high-resolution color display featuring some of the smoothest text and most colorful images that we’ve ever seen on a vape. In addition to being a technological marvel, the XROS 4 Nano is easily one of the most visually impressive refillable vapes ever created.
Voopoo Argus A
If you think that a vaping device with one high-resolution color screen is impressive, just wait until you get a look at the Voopoo Argus A because it’s the first vape with a dual-zone color display. It’s a very impressive effect that’s bound to make almost anyone do a double take. The fact that the Argus A divides the information displayed across two screens also means that it can do something no other vaping device can: It can show an animation on one screen while displaying information on the other. It’s a truly striking visual effect.
The Argus A offers full wattage control and has a maximum power of 30 watts like the XROS 4 Nano described above. Although the shape of the device isn’t quite as sleek as that of the XROS 4 Nano, the Argus A has a few extra features that you might find interesting. For one thing, you don’t need to use a specific pod in order to have full wattage control; that function is available with all Argus pods. The Argus A also has an airflow control slider and supports quick charging, with the battery charging to 100 percent in just 40 minutes.
We love convenience features in a refillable vape, and one of our favorite features of the Argus A is the fact that it has a physical on-off switch. Carrying the device in your pocket? No problem; just flip the switch to the “Off” position, and you won’t have to worry about unwanted activation.
Geekvape Digi Max
It used to be that if you wanted to buy a refillable vape with all of the most advanced features that were available, you’d have to buy a full-sized vape mod because pod systems were primarily intended for beginning and intermediate vapers. Times have certainly changed, because the Geekvape Digi Max is a pod system that also happens to be one of the most advanced vapes ever created.
What’s so special about the Geekvape Digi Max? For one thing, it has a true smartphone-style touch screen that responds instantly to taps and has a gorgeous 2K resolution. Once you’ve interfaced with a vaping device by tapping your selections, you’ll never want to go back to traditional button-based menus again. Flanking the screen is an RGB light strip that only adds to the visual appeal.
The Digi Max is a bit larger than the other refillable vapes on this list, but the increased size allows it to offer features that the other devices can’t match. The Digi Max has an incredible battery capacity of 3,000 mAh and full wattage control with a maximum output of 80 watts. It also supports fast charging and needs only 20 minutes to charge up to 50 percent of its maximum capacity, which for many people is more than enough for an entire day of vaping.
