How Do You Fill A Vape Pod Kits

Different guidelines must be followed regarding a vapes refueling operation when considering the device type (disposable, refillable). The following steps and measures will ensure that refillable vape pod are refueled safely and accurately:

Refueling Preparation

Confirm the device type

Make sure your vape is refillable (usually with independent cartridges or oil storage tanks, and the shell has a refilling hole), not a disposable product (not disassembled).

Prepare tools and materials

Specialized e-liquid (select according to the nicotine content and flavor compatible with the device).

Clean paper towels (for wiping spilled e-liquid).

Refill bottle (some e-liquids come with their own, it is recommended to use a pointed bottle for easy dosage control).

Specific Refueling Operation (Taking The Common Oil Storage Cartridge As An Example)

1. Disassemble the device

Separate the cartridge from the battery rod: Gently unscrew the cartridge (some devices need to press the top or rotate to disassemble, refer to the manual for operation).

Find the oil filling hole: There are usually 1-2 small round holes on the side or top of the cartridge (some holes have rubber plugs or silicone covers), and the oil filling hole of some devices is at the bottom, and the dust cover needs to be opened.

2. Oil filling operation

Shake the oil: Gently shake the oil bottle before use to avoid precipitation of ingredients (especially oil containing nicotine salt).

Insert the oil filling hole: Slowly insert the tip of the oil filling bottle into the oil filling hole, the depth is about 0.5-1cm, and avoid touching the internal atomizer core.

Slowly fill the oil: squeeze the oil filling bottle and inject a small amount of oil each time (it is recommended not to exceed 0.5ml at a time, adjusted according to the capacity of the cartridge, the common capacity is 2-5ml), pay attention to observe the oil level in the oil storage tank, and avoid exceeding the maximum scale line (if any).

Pull out the oil filling bottle: After filling, wipe the oil spilled around the oil filling hole with a paper towel to prevent it from penetrating into the atomizer core or electrode.

3. Assembly and standing

Cover the oil filling hole: tighten the rubber plug or cover the dust cover to ensure sealing.

Install the cartridge: screw the cartridge back onto the battery rod, pay attention to align the threads, and avoid tightening too much to damage the interface.

Stand for 3-5 minutes: let the oil fully soak the atomizer core to avoid “burnt smell” or oil leakage due to the dry atomizer core during the first use. In cold weather, the cotton absorbs oil slowly, so you can wait for 2 more minutes.

Precautions (Avoid Oil Leakage And Damage To Equipment)

1. Key to preventing oil leakage

Do not exceed the maximum capacity: Overfilling the oil tank will result in excessive pressure on the atomizer core which will cause oil to spill from the mouthpiece.

Seal Off Oil Filling Protections: Ensure that the rubber plug or cap is properly sealed to prevent leakage due to movement during transport or use.

Avoid tilting oil filling: The cartridge should not be tilted and should be maintained vertically to avoid inflow of oil towards the airway (towards the mouthpiece).

2. Safety and maintenance

Keep away from fire: The oil contains flammable ingredients such as propylene glycol. Avoid close to open flames during operation.

Cleaning spilled oil: If the oil gets on the battery rod electrode or interface, wipe it clean with a dry paper towel immediately to prevent short circuit.

Pick Compliant Oil: Poor quality oil may have dangerous ingredients. It is recommended that users only purchase from official distributors and check the ingredient list (propylene glycol, vegetable glycerin, nicotine, and edible flavors).

Common Problems

There is a burnt smell after filling: it may be that the atomizer core is not fully soaked. You can first inhale 1-2 times without ignition to allow the e-liquid to penetrate and then try to inhale at the lowest power; if the burnt smell persists, the atomizer core may be damaged and a new cartridge needs to be replaced.

Serious oil leakage: Check whether the oil filling hole is sealed or whether the interface between the cartridge and the battery rod is loose. If it leaks for a long time, it may be that the cartridge is aging, and it is recommended to replace it.

Differences Between Different Types Of Equipment

Equipment type	Refueling features	Precautions
Pod system(Pod Vape)	The oil filling hole is mostly on the side of the pod, and some of them need to open the dust cover. The capacity is small (1-2ml), and the dosage needs to be controlled when filling.	Avoid oil from entering the air inlet, otherwise it will affect the smoothness of inhalation.
Dripping oil atomizer (DIY equipment)	There is no oil storage tank, and the oil needs to be dripped directly on the atomizer core. 3-5 drops are dripped before each use. It is suitable for players who pursue large smoke.	After dripping the oil, you need to wait for 10 seconds to soak the atomizer core to avoid dry burning.
Large smoke oil storage atomizer	The oil storage tank has a large capacity (3-8ml), and the oil filling holes are mostly at the top or bottom. Some have oil volume observation windows.	Avoid exceeding the maximum scale line of the observation window when filling oil.

Extended Suggestions

Suggestions for first use: Novices can first add a small amount of oil (such as 1ml), and then increase the dose after becoming familiar with the operation to avoid waste due to improper operation.

Regular maintenance of a device: Periodic reduction in inhalation resistance or lightening of breath flavors indicates the need to clean the oil storage tank and atomizer core of the cartridge. Please review the manual as some devices enable this cleaning procedure.

Regulatory compliance and e-cig use: respect local policies on e-cig usage and refrain from using them in restricted zones. Additionally, e-cig and e-liquid products are not permitted for minors.

Summary

Correct refueling can extend the service life of the device while ensuring the user experience and safety. If you have any questions about the specific operation of the device, it is recommended to consult the manual or consult the customer service.
