Disposable vs Cartridge vs Pod
Disposable, cartridge and pod are the three main vape formats. They look similar on the shelf, but they work differently and need different gear.
The short version: a disposable is all-in-one, a cart screws onto a battery, and a pod snaps into its own device.
| Format | What you need | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| Disposable | Nothing else | One sealed device, use it and toss it |
| 510 cartridge | A compatible 510 battery | Swap carts, keep the battery |
| Pod | The matching pod device | Pods only fit their own device |
Start with the hardware
A disposable has the battery and the oil in one device. A 510 cart needs a separate battery. A pod needs the device it was made for.
- Don't go by shape alone, check the package.
- Read both boxes before you connect parts.
- Stop using anything that's cracked or leaking.
Which one should I get?
New to vapes? A disposable is the easiest start. Already own a battery? A cart is flexible. Like a neat setup with swappable flavours? Pods are a good fit. Either way, ask us at the counter.
Frequently asked questions
Does a 510 cartridge need a battery?
Yes. A cart screws onto a separate compatible battery.
Can any pod fit any device?
No. Pods only fit the device they were made for.
How long does a disposable last?
It depends on the size of the fill and how often you use it. The size is printed on the box.
