The definition of Pod system( Aka. pod vape or pod-style vape). The main characteristic of the pod is you have a pod to hold the e-liquid and a coil to heat the liquid. There are two main types of pod systems, “Open system” and “Closed system”.
“Open system” indicates refillable pods, which means you can open the device to insert the e-liquid of your choosing or change the useless coil. Open systems come with empty pods for you to refill yourself.
“Closed system” indicates non-refillable device, which means the device featured a pod can be removed from the device but not opened or refilled. The other type is that the entire device can be disposed of when the e-liquid was run out of.
In a short description, Pod mod is a vape system collocates with a large box and more function, which can be an awesome choice for vapers who want a middle ground between the convenience of a pod vape and the performance of a box mod.
Mods implies the the term “modifiable”-means that the removable parts of the device can be modified such as coils
and wicks. The biggest advantage is using Sub-Ohm technology to give vapers more power and subsequently more vapour that make it be the perfect choice for sophisticated vapers.
Now, you must master the meaning of these three typical vaping devices. Let’s dig a little deeper and distinguish the differences between the three types of devices.
The first aspect — Physical Design
Involve to size, the pod system is the smallest and most convenient among these three devices. Pod mod is the following while the mod is the bulkier one.
As for the liquid reservoir, pod mods usually come with a plastic pod for liquid storage, while the pod system is prefilled with e-liquid and no more than 5ml (2 ml for TPD Ver.), and you can add any liquid you want or mix it by yourself into your mod.
Regards to battery, mods hold single or dual external lithium Batteries(i.e. 18650). The tank and batteries are the reason why mods is much bulkier and heavier. A typical pod system has a battery capacity between 300 mAh to 1500mAh. The pod mods need higher battery capacity to offer huge clouds of vapour and higher wattage output.
The second aspect — Features & Ability
Honestly, through the definition of the terms, it’s obvious that the biggest strength of pod system is simplicity of use, especially for those newbie vapers who switch from vaping. Pod mod is smaller in size, and more convenient, while the pod mod is easier to set up compared to vape mods designed to produce large clouds and flavor delivery. In addition, vapers can achieve much more vaping styles and DIY fun using mods than using pod mods. Mod is much more versatile than pod mod and is the one-pick for those high-end vapers pursuing impressive cloud production and customizable processes.
Regarding power output, the lower battery capacity produces a lower power. Therefore, pod system with the lowest output, then the pod mod. Mod can high up to hundreds of wattage based on the used coil resistance. The primary differences among pod systems, pod mods, and mods are so many factors which not only the above we mentioned, such as power consumption, price, and even the type of e-liquid.
To sum up, here is a short ways to help you make a quick difference
