When you think of a typical vape pod system, you usually envision a pod (which contains e-liquid) and a body (the battery or power source). However, some pod systems, particularly disposable pods like the IGET Bar Plus and IGET Edge, come as integrated units where the pod and body are inseparable. While most pod systems are designed to function with both the pod and body, certain situations may arise where you’re curious about using a pod without its body. In this article, we’ll explore how you can use a new pod vape without its body, specifically looking at disposable vapes and refillable pod systems like OKK.
How Disposable and Refillable Pods Differ in Terms of Usage Without the Body
- Disposable Pod Systems:
- Integrated Design: Disposable pod systems like the IGET Bar Plus and IGET Edge lp10000 are designed to be used as an all-in-one solution. The pod and body are integrated, so there is no option to remove the pod or body for separate use.
- Single Use: Once the e-liquid is depleted, the entire device is discarded, making it unsuitable for use without the body.
- No Maintenance Required: These pods are designed for users who want a simple, hassle-free vaping experience. There’s no need to worry about refilling or replacing parts.
- Refillable Pod Systems:
- Separate Pod and Body: Refillable pods like OKK give users the ability to remove and replace the pod from the body. You can refill the pod, change the coil, or even use the pod with a different compatible device if needed.
- Reusability: The key feature of refillable pods is their ability to be used repeatedly. You can refill the pod with your choice of e-liquid, which makes it a cost-effective and sustainable option in comparison to disposables.
- Interchangeability: Many refillable systems, including OKK, allow you to use the pod with different devices if needed, unlike disposable pods, which are designed for one-time use.
Can You Use a Pod Without the Body in Emergency Situations?
While pod vape flavours cannot be used without their body, there are a few scenarios where you might be able to repurpose a pod:
- Using Refillable Pods with Compatible Devices
If your device breaks, you can still use your refillable pod-like OKK with a compatible battery from another pod system. As long as the pod is removable and the new device is compatible with it, you can continue using the pod without replacing it entirely. However, this isn’t possible with disposable pod systems, as they are built to be thrown away once the e-liquid runs out. - Transferring E-liquid to Another Pod
In extreme cases, you may be able to remove the e-liquid from a disposable pod (though this is not recommended and may result in spills or leaks) and transfer it to another compatible pod. This should be done carefully, and only if the original pod is no longer working, as disposable pods are not designed for this purpose.
Advantages of Using Refillable Pods Over Disposable Pods
- Cost-Effective in the Long Run
While disposable pods like the IGET Bar Plus and IGET Edge offer convenience, refillable pods like OKK Cross are more cost-effective in the long term. You can refill the pod multiple times, saving money on disposable devices and e-liquids. - Customizable Experience
Refillable pods allow for a customizable vaping experience. With systems like OKK, you can choose from a wide variety of e-liquids, adjusting the flavour and nicotine level to suit your preferences. Disposable pods, on the other hand, come pre-filled with a limited selection of e-liquid flavours. - Environmental Impact
Refillable pods contribute to less waste compared to disposable pods. Since you can use a refillable pod-like OKK multiple times, you reduce the number of single-use devices that end up in landfills.
Conclusion
In summary, using a vape pod without the body is a concept that applies mostly to refillable pod systems like OKK, where the pod is removable, and maintenance or replacement can be done independently of the body. In contrast, disposable pod systems like the IGET Bar Plus and IGET Edge are designed to be used as a single unit, and once the e-liquid runs out, they must be disposed of entirely. Whether you prefer the convenience of disposable pods or the sustainability and flexibility of refillable systems, understanding how each type of pod works will help you make the best choice for your vaping needs
