Innokin pods are open, refillable cartridges that clip onto an Innokin device, usually by magnet, and hold your e-liquid ready to vape. Rather than buying sealed, prefilled packs, you add your own liquid, vape it down, and top it back up, which is what keeps the cost per millilitre so low. When the flavour eventually dulls, you fit a fresh pod and carry on.
How the coil sits inside the pod depends on the range, and that's the first thing to understand before you buy. Some Innokin pods have the mesh coil built in, so the whole pod is replaced once it wears; others pair an empty pod with a separate, swappable coil, so you change just the cheap coil and keep the pod. Both are refillable, and both are reusable, but they're bought and maintained a little differently.
Integrated-Coil vs Separate-Coil Innokin Pods
This split runs right through the Innokin range, and knowing which camp your device falls into saves confusion at the checkout.
Integrated-coil pods, led by the Klypse family, hold a pre-installed mesh coil inside a 2ml refillable cartridge. There's nothing extra to fit: you refill through the side port, vape, and swap the entire pod when performance drops. It's the simplest, most beginner-friendly setup Innokin makes.
Separate-coil pods, led by the Sceptre family, use an empty refillable pod alongside Innokin's S-Coil series, which press-fits into the pod and can be changed on its own. It's a touch more hands-on, but coils are cheaper than whole pods, and the Sceptre's adjustable airflow gives you finer control over the draw. Vapers who like to tinker tend to prefer it.
Innokin Pod Ranges at a Glance
UK editions of every Innokin pod are capped at 2ml to meet TPD rules, even where the same pod is sold larger overseas.

Check the range printed on your kit or your old pod, then match the pod to it.
Which Innokin Pod Fits My Device?
Innokin pods are matched by family rather than being universal, so the job is to buy within the range your kit belongs to. The good news is that within a family there's real flexibility: Klypse pods, for instance, fit right across the Klypse line, including the Klypse, Klypse Zip, Klypse Mecha, Klypse Pro and Klypse Plus, so upgrading your device rarely means abandoning your pods.
Where families don't cross over is between ranges. A Klypse pod won't serve a Sceptre, and the Kroma-Z takes its own cartridge, so always confirm the range named in the listing against your device. If the exact pod for your Innokin isn't showing here, the wider replacement pods section covers spares for a broad spread of kits.
Choosing the Right Resistance
The resistance, marked in ohms on the pod or coil, sets how tight the draw feels and which liquids suit it. Innokin's common options run from around 0.5Ω up to 1.2Ω, and picking to match your style makes all the difference.
A 1.2Ω pod gives a tight, cigarette-like mouth-to-lung draw that pairs best with stronger nic salts, making it the natural pick for anyone moving off cigarettes. A 0.8Ω sits in the middle as a versatile all-rounder for 50/50 liquids and mid-strength salts.
Drop to 0.6Ω or below, and the draw opens up towards restricted direct-to-lung, throwing more vapour and suiting lower-nicotine 50/50 blends. On the Sceptre, the adjustable airflow lets you fine-tune any of these further, tightening or loosening the draw to taste.
What E-Liquid Works Best in Innokin Pods?
Because you fill Innokin pods yourself, the flavour and strength are your call at the counter rather than fixed at the factory. The range is designed around nic salts and 50/50 freebase liquids, both of which wick cleanly and deliver full flavour; very thick, high-VG liquids are best avoided in the tighter pods, as they struggle to feed the coil and bring on dry hits.
Matching liquid to resistance keeps everything smooth. Nic salts between 10mg and 20mg shine in the 0.8Ω and 1.2Ω pods, where a tighter draw carries a stronger hit comfortably, while 50/50 freebase runs well through 0.6Ω and looser pods. Whatever you choose, UK liquid tops out at 20mg/ml, and since you're filling the pod, that strength is entirely in your hands.
How to Refill an Innokin Pod
Refilling takes moments once you know where the port sits.
- Find the fill port. On Klypse and Sceptre pods, it's a silicone-stoppered hole on the side; on the Sceptre Tube, it's a sliding top cover. Ease it open.
- Fill slowly. Guide the nozzle in and drip the liquid down the wall of the pod, keeping it clear of the central airflow tube in the middle.
- Reseal fully. Press the stopper or slide the cover firmly back so the port is completely closed, which is what stops leaks in a pocket.
- Prime before firing. On a brand-new pod or coil, leave it standing upright for five to ten minutes so the wick soaks through before your first draw.
That priming pause matters most on a fresh coil, so give it the time once; after that you can top up and vape straight away.
How Long Do Innokin Pods Last?
Because they're refillable, a single Innokin pod carries you across many refills rather than being binned when the liquid runs out. The signal to change it is the taste: when flavour turns muted or slightly burnt even on a full pod, the coil has worn through and a fresh pod, or a fresh coil on the Sceptre, brings it straight back.
For most vapers that works out at roughly one to two weeks per pod, though heavy use and dark, sweet liquids shorten it, since sugary flavours coat a coil and wear it faster. Innokin pods are sold in packs of three, so a spare is always close when the old one fades.
Troubleshooting: Burnt Taste, Leaks and Weak Vapour
Most Innokin pod niggles have quick fixes. A burnt or harsh taste usually means a spent coil or a dry wick, so fit a fresh pod, or on a new one, give it those few minutes to prime before firing. Vaping faster than the coil can rewick will scorch it too, so pause between draws if the flavour thins.
Leaks and gurgling generally trace back to overfilling or liquid slipping into the central airflow tube during a refill, so fill just short of the max and keep the middle clear. Weak vapour or flavour tends to point to a tiring coil or a nearly empty pod. Store the device upright and out of direct heat, since warmth thins liquid and encourages seepage. If a genuine Innokin pod still plays up after all that, it may simply be faulty, and a replacement settles it.
Do Innokin Pods Save You Money?
Over time, clearly. The maths behind any refillable system is straightforward: you buy pods now and then, but the liquid comes from a bottle at a fraction of the per-millilitre cost of prefilled pods or disposables. A single 10ml bottle refills a 2ml pod several times over, so the more you vape, the further ahead the refillable route pulls.
On the Sceptre it stretches further still, since you replace only an inexpensive S-Coil rather than a whole pod each time. Set a week of disposables against an Innokin kit, a three-pack of pods and a bottle or two of liquid, and the saving shows within the first fortnight. Buying pods and liquid together often triggers a multi-buy deals saving, which suits a consumable you'll reorder regularly.
Are Innokin Pods TPD Compliant and UK Legal?
Yes. Innokin pods are refillable, reusable hardware, exactly the kind of kit UK law is built to keep on sale. When single-use vapes were removed from shelves on 1 June 2025, reusable systems with refillable, rechargeable parts stayed legal, and a fill-your-own Innokin pod is that model in its clearest form.
They also sit inside the standing caps: UK editions hold 2ml, within the tank limit, and any liquid you add must be 20mg/ml or under to stay within the strength ceiling. The fuller framework is set out under TPD compliant vapes. Legal isn't the same as risk-free, though. Once filled, a pod holds nicotine; nicotine is addictive, and the checkout confirms you're over 18.
