There are two types of reusable pod systems: open and closed. In closed pods, the cartridge is removable, that is, after the end of the slurry resource, it is simply changed to a new one, filled by the manufacturer. The procedure takes a maximum of 10 seconds, so in terms of ease of use, such devices are far behind disposable electronic cigarettes. Modern disposables are the same sub-systems, since the evaporation chamber and liquid tank are also combined in them. However, it is impossible to refill the cartridge and charge the battery in such devices. True, recently there have been disposable pod systems with a larger slurry tank, the battery of which can be recharged. However, it is still not possible to pour new liquid. But let's go back to reusable pods.
Open systems require more attention from their owners. Their cartridge can be refilled, that is, a vaping enthusiast pours the liquid into the tank on his own. In fact, it is possible to fill the tank with self-mixing and even experiment with the content of the main components of the vaporizing liquid. It is possible to completely abandon the slurry on salt nicotine and use its analogue on ordinary, as in classic vapes. However, vaporizers and spiral pods are designed for short smoking breaks and weak puffs. In addition, the acidity level of liquids based on salt nicotine is lower, which favorably affects the durability of consumables and the liquid itself. Therefore, such experiments often end with a "burnout" and premature replacement of the evaporator, or even the entire refueling cartridge for POD system.
Let's take a closer look at the liquid used in such vaporizers and the process of filling the tank.
Refilling cartridges for pods: how it works
In closed pod systems, the cartridge is removed, but it cannot be refilled: a new container is sent to replace the old one. The advantage of such a device is that the process of renewing the slurry resource does not require much time and effort. In addition, the cartridges are filled with factory liquids from pod manufacturers, so there is no risk of making a mistake and damaging your device for vaping. Minus - you have to make do with only the flavors offered for sale. Often, the set includes several aromas, which allows you to change them at any time. It is also important to have a spare cartridge at hand to immediately replace the old consumable with it.
Open floors give more freedom for creativity and experiments with tastes. Yes, and there are much more liquid variants on sale, because they are also produced by third-party manufacturers, and not only pod system manufacturers. To fill the tank, you need to open the lid on the cartridge, which hides a small hole. It is necessary to carefully pour the selected or prepared slurry there. The reusable cartridge also has a limited service life. Therefore, over time, the ego will have to be changed. Signs of the need to replace the cartridge:
- Decrease in the amount of released steam.
- Decrease in taste saturation.
- Throat initially stings during vaporization.
The service life of the cartridge depends on the individual manner and intensity of vaporization, the type of poured slurry. For example, the spiral fails much faster when using a dark liquid. And the tobacco flavor is more likely to clog the tank compared to berry or fruit aromas.
The composition of the slurry for pod systems
Salt nicotine liquids used in disposable and reusable pod systems usually have a strength of 5%. This means that 1 ml of liquid contains 50 mg of such a substance. Salt nicotine is absorbed faster by the body and removed from it longer, and the level of acid-alkaline balance is as close to human as possible. Therefore, the frequency and duration of smoking breaks decreases. However, it is possible to take no more than 2-3 puffs at a time due to the considerable strength of the slurry.
The composition of the liquid for vaporization also includes:
- glycerol;
- propylene glycol;
- taste food additives.
An equal ratio of glycerin and propylene glycol is considered optimal for pod systems.
