If you’re thinking about making the jump from disposables to a refillable vape, you’ve picked a great time because today’s refillable vapes are smaller, more satisfying and easier to use than ever. They’re also made with many different types of users in mind, so it’s important to pick a device meant for your particular use case. Feeling lost? That’s what this guide is for. These are the best refillable vapes that you can buy today.
Vaporesso XROS 5 Mini
Key Features:
- Higher battery capacity than previous XROS Mini vapes
- Supports 2-amp fast charging
- Compatible with all Vaporesso XROS pods
The Vaporesso XROS 5 Mini is the latest entry in Vaporesso’s famed XROS Mini series, and it’s clearly the best one yet. Taking advantage of recent advances in battery technology, the XROS 5 Mini’s battery capacity has been increased to 1,500 mAh. The charging speed has also been increased to a maximum of 2 amps, which means that you can expect to have a usable amount of battery capacity after just a few minutes of charging when the battery dies. In all, charging the XROS 5 Mini fully should take less than an hour.
You can expect the same type of straightforward vaping experience with the XROS 5 Mini as with the other devices in the XROS Mini series – just charge the device, fill the pod and enjoy. The XROS 5 Mini works with all Vaporesso XROS pods, and it has an adjustable airflow slider that allows you to customize the tightness of the draw.
Uwell Caliburn G4 Pro
Key Features:
- High-resolution touch display with very attractive built-in themes
- New Storm and Waves vaping modes
- Battery capacity of 1,800 mAh and maximum output of 35 watts
The Uwell Caliburn G4 Pro may bear the “Pro” designation, but we think that newbies are going to gravitate toward it anyway because the visual styling is really unbelievable. The Caliburn G4 Pro isn’t the first vape with a high-resolution touch screen, but it might have the best visual themes of almost any vaping device on the market today. The themes add a three-dimensional appearance that you really must see to believe.
Interacting with the Caliburn G4 Pro is a breeze because the screen supports both swipes and taps. You can almost skip reading the instruction manual entirely because all of the options are right there in front of you – just touch the one you want. The Caliburn G4 also isn’t short on power. With a battery capacity of 1,800 mAh and a maximum power of 35 watts, you’ll have no trouble getting big, satisfying clouds out of this device.
Urban Tale Xplore
Key Features:
- Dual-coil pod delivers high-quality flavor twice as long as a traditional pod
- Use the Eco vaping mode to optimize the device for maximum pod life or flip over to the Turbo mode for twice as much vapor
- Battery capacity of 1,000 mAh and maximum power of 30 watts
If you’re still using disposable vapes, the Urban Tale Xplore is a great step-up device. That’s because, aside from the fact that you need to refill the pod periodically, it works much the same as a disposable vape. It even has the same single- and dual-coil vaping modes as other popular disposable devices like the Geek Bar Pulse.
Because the Urban Tale Xplore pod has two coils, it lasts twice as long as a traditional single-coil vape pod when you’re using the device’s Eco vaping mode. That’s because the load is divided between the coils, taking each coil twice as long before it begins to develop smoky-tasting coil gunk. In the long run, the Xplore can cut your expenses in half compared to other pod systems.
Vaporesso XROS 4 Nano
Key Features:
- Amazingly small for a vape that operates at up to 30 watts
- Large high-resolution color display
- Works with all Vaporesso XROS pods
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
Key Features:
- Unique dual-screen design
- Small and pocketable but operates at up to 30 watts
- Physical on-off switch
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
Key Features:
- Amazing amount of power at a size that’s very small and pocket friendly
- High-resolution touch display
- Has a battery capacity of 3,000 mAh and operates at up to 80 watts
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.
Vaporesso XROS 4 Mini
Key Features:
- Designed for maximum portability and simplicity
- Works with all Vaporesso XROS pods
- Adjustable airflow
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.
