Sonder Q3: the compact pod that is easy to carry
The Geekvape Sonder Q3 combines 30W and 1750mAh. It is a good choice if you are looking for a discreet pod with enough battery life for regular use at moderate power.
Vaptio Tela: simple and easy to understand for beginners
The Vaptio Tela uses 3ml Nolik-T pods in 0.6Ω and 0.8Ω. This combination lets you choose between a slightly more open draw and a tighter draw without dealing with highly complex settings.
RELX Prime E, Prime, or Prime Pro?
The RELX range covers three levels: Prime E for compactness, Prime for balance, and Prime Pro for more battery life and power.
Geekvape Soul 2: battery life first
With 2100mAh, the Soul 2 is one of the longest-lasting pods in this selection. However, it remains within a moderate 35W power range.
Vaporesso Luxe X2: for switching from MTL to RDL
The Luxe X2 offers 40W and 2000mAh. It is particularly suitable for those who want to keep the pod format while retaining more flexibility to vary their draw.
How do you choose the right pod?
Battery life
Compare the mAh ratings, but keep in mind that the power used significantly affects the time between charges.
Resistance
A higher resistance generally favors a tighter, more energy-efficient vape. A lower resistance requires more power and produces more vapor.
Airflow
Adjustable airflow is useful if you are undecided between MTL and RDL. Our guide MTL, RDL, or DL explains the different sensations in detail.
E-liquid
For a small pod, 50/50 liquids are often easier to manage than liquids with a very high VG content. See which e-liquid to choose for a pod.
