SMOK IGEE A1 Pod Kit

Thirty-one grams. That is the entire weight of this kit. The SMOK IGEE A1 is a 650mAh refillable MTL pod kit with a fixed 14W output, 0.9ohm mesh built-in coil pods, and a body made from aircraft-grade aluminium that fits in the palm of your hand. No buttons, no settings, no coil changes. 

You fill the 2ml TPD-compliant pod from the top, inhale through the mouthpiece, and the device fires automatically. Two pods in the box, USB-C charging, a childproof locking mechanism, and a leak-resistant top-fill design. 

If you want the simplest possible route from cigarettes to a Refillable Pod Kit without learning a single setting, the IGEE A1 does exactly that. Over 18s only.

Why vapers choose this:

• Nothing to learn. No buttons, no wattage adjustment, no screen. Fill the pod, inhale, done. The IGEE A1 was built for people who do not want to think about their vape, and it does that job better than almost anything else at this price.

• 31 grams of aircraft-grade aluminium. Lighter than a set of keys. The aluminium build gives it durability that plastic pod kits at this weight cannot match. It survives pockets, bags, and being dropped on the kitchen floor.

• Mesh coil inside every pod for flavour that punches above the wattage. At 14W, you would expect weak flavour. The 0.9ohm mesh heating element distributes heat across a wider surface area than a standard wire coil, which means the flavour extraction at this wattage is noticeably sharper than the spec sheet suggests.

• Top-fill design that actually prevents leaks. SMOK moved the fill port from the bottom of the pod to the top. Practically speaking, that keeps liquid away from the airflow path and the contacts. Pockets and bags stay dry.

• Two pods in the box, so you are covered from day one. One pod lasts roughly a week with moderate MTL use. Two in the kit means you are not ordering replacements before you have even finished your first bottle of liquid.

SMOK IGEE A1 Pod Kit Features

The Kit That Gets Out of Its Own Way

Most pod kits add features to justify their price. The IGEE A1 removes them. No fire button. No variable wattage. No display. You fill, you inhale, the device fires at 14W and shuts off when you stop drawing. 

The auto-draw sensor handles everything. For someone coming from cigarettes or disposables, this is the closest a refillable kit gets to that same zero-learning-curve experience. Browse more MTL Vape Kits at Pirate Vapes if you want to compare.

Aluminium That Weighs Less Than Your Phone

The body is aircraft-grade aluminium alloy, not plastic, not zinc alloy. At 111 x 21 x 12mm and 31g, the IGEE A1 is genuinely pocket-sized. Thin enough to disappear next to your phone. Light enough that you forget it is there. 

But the aluminium means it does not flex, crack, or scratch the way a plastic shell would. The surface finish is smooth with a slight metallic coolness in the hand, which, fair enough, sounds like a small thing until you hold it next to a plastic pod kit and feel the difference immediately.

Mesh at 14W Does More Than You Think

Sceptical? Understandable. Fourteen watts is low. But the 0.9ohm mesh coil inside each IGEE pod compensates for the low power by spreading heat evenly across a larger surface area. That means more liquid is vaporised per draw than a standard round-wire coil at the same wattage would manage. The result is a warmer, more flavourful MTL draw than the power number alone would predict. Works best with nic salts at 10mg or 20mg in a 50/50 blend.

Top Fill, Bottom Airflow, No Leaks

The fill port sits under the removable mouthpiece at the top of the pod. You pop the mouthpiece off, squeeze liquid into the fill hole (not the central airflow chimney), and push the mouthpiece back on. 

The airflow enters through two symmetrical inlets on the sides of the device body, pulling air in from both sides evenly. Because the liquid goes in at the top and the air comes in at the bottom, the two never cross paths in the wrong direction. Simple engineering. Effective results.

Childproof Lock and Full Safety Suite

The childproof lock prevents the pod from being removed without a deliberate action, which matters in any household. 

Beyond that, the IGEE A1 includes pod detection (the device will not fire without a pod seated), 8-second auto-cutoff, short circuit protection, and low-voltage protection. For a device this simple, the safety layer is comprehensive.

How to Set Up the SMOK IGEE A1 Pod Kit

1. Charge the device using the USB-C cable. The LED indicator shows battery status: green for high, blue for medium, orange for low, red for nearly empty. Charge until the light turns off or stays green.

2. Remove the mouthpiece from one of the two included pods. Lift it straight off. The fill port is the hole beside the central airflow chimney.

3. Fill through the side hole, not the centre. The centre hole is the airway. Filling through it floods the coil and ruins the pod immediately. Squeeze your e-liquid into the side port and fill to just below the max line.

4. Replace the mouthpiece firmly and insert the pod into the device. It clicks into place magnetically. The childproof lock holds it secure.

5. Wait three full minutes before your first draw. The 0.9ohm mesh coil needs time to absorb liquid through the cotton. Drawing on a dry mesh coil scorches it permanently, and there is no way to fix it once burnt.

6. Inhale through the mouthpiece. The device fires automatically. No button, no sequence. Just draw.

The Starter Kit for People Who Do Not Want a Project

The IGEE A1 is a Pod Kit for vapers who want to fill a pod and go. No coil changes, no wattage decisions, no maintenance beyond keeping the pod topped up with liquid. When the coil inside a pod degrades, you replace the whole pod with a fresh IGEE Meshed 0.9ohm pod from the Replacement Pods section.

Best paired with 50/50 VG/PG e-liquids or nic salts at 10mg or 20mg. The 0.9ohm coil at 14W is optimised for this viscosity and nicotine type. High-VG Liquids above 60/40 will wick too slowly and produce dry hits. Freebase nicotine above 6mg may feel harsh through the tight MTL draw.

About SMOK

SMOK operates under Hong Kong IVPS International Limited and is one of the most widely distributed vape hardware brands globally. The IGEE line sits at the starter end of their product range, designed for first-time vapers and ex-smokers who need something that works without instructions. 

SMOK's broader catalogue includes the Novo pod series, the Nord range, the RPM platform, and the G-Priv touchscreen kits. Browse the full SMOK Vapes collection at Pirate Vapes. The IGEE pods are specific to the IGEE A1, so make sure you are ordering the correct replacement when the time comes.

Stock Up and Save

Two pods in the box get you started, but each pod lasts roughly five to ten days depending on how much you vape. A three-pack of IGEE Meshed replacement pods covers the next month comfortably. 

Picking up a few bottles of nic salt alongside the kit means you have everything you need without a follow-up order two days later. 

Every order from Pirate Vapes ships the same day before 4 pm, packaged to protect the device. Age-verified checkout, over 18s only. Spend over £40 and delivery is free with Free Pirate Post.

Conclusion

If you are stepping away from cigarettes or disposables and want a refillable kit that requires zero learning curve, the IGEE A1 is built for exactly that. Pick up replacement pods and vape accessories or explore everything at Pirate Vapes.

FAQs

What pods does the IGEE A1 use?

IGEE Meshed 0.9ohm pods. The coil is built into each pod. When flavour drops off or the draw tastes burnt, replace the whole pod.

What e-liquid works best with IGEE A1?

50/50 VG/PG nic salts at 10mg or 20mg. The 0.9ohm coil and 14W output are optimised for this ratio and nicotine type. High-VG liquids will not wick properly.

How long does the SMOK IGEE A1 battery last?

The 650mAh battery handles a moderate day of MTL vaping. Heavier users may need a midday charge. USB-C at 0.7A is not the fastest charge rate, but the small battery fills up relatively quickly regardless.

Is the IGEE A1 good for quitting cigarettes?

The tight MTL draw, nic salt compatibility, and simple inhale-activated design make it a practical transition device. The experience replicates the hand-to-mouth action and draw style of a cigarette more closely than most DTL or sub-ohm kits.

Can I change the coil in the IGEE pod?

No. The coil is built in. When the coil is finished, you discard the pod and use a fresh one.

How many colours are available in A1?

Six from the manufacturer: Black, Grey, Silver Blue, Blue Grey, Blue Green, and Blue Purple. Availability varies by retailer.
