Geekvape

Pod kits from this brand tend to prioritise protection and performance over convenience. Unlike most brands chasing the slimmest possible pod system, this company builds around ruggedness, as IP68 water and dust resistance is standard on many of their devices. They also have a longer design cycle, meaning their kits often stick around for years with proper coil and tank support.

Some are, but not all. The Aegis E100, for example, is more beginner-friendly with simplified interfaces and leak-resistant pods. Others, like the Aegis Legend 3, are more geared towards intermediate users who are comfortable with variable wattage and external batteries. If you’re new and looking for durability, Geek Vape is a strong contender, as long as you don’t mind a slightly steeper learning curve.

For thick vapour and open airflow, the Aegis Legend 3 is hard to beat. It supports up to 200W, and the tank takes mesh coils that handle high wattage without falling apart. If you want something smaller but still cloud-focused, the M100 (Mini 2) with a top-airflow tank is a solid compromise.

Generally, yes. You will mostly find pods with top-fill and top-airflow designs, which reduce leaking compared to bottom-fill systems. Pods like Q replacement cartridges come with a top-fill design that minimises leakage chances.

The main difference between the Wenax Q and Q Pro replacement pods lies in their compatibility with resistances and features. Both offer 0.6Ω, 0.8Ω, and 1.2Ω options, but the Q Pro may include additional advanced features, such as enhanced airflow adjustments and higher wattage output. Both pods have a 2mL capacity, top-fill design, mesh coils for better flavour, and secure magnetic connections.

The coil lifespan is pretty respectable, around 7 to 12 days, depending on your juice and how heavily you vape. The pod shells themselves are reusable as long as the coil isn't built-in, and the seals tend to hold up well over time. Sweet or high-VG juices might reduce coil life, but overall, they’re built to last longer than average.

Both the Z Series and B Series coils deliver strong flavour, but in different ways. Z coils are built for power, thick vapour and layered flavour at higher wattages. B coils, like the 0.6Ω mesh for the Boost Plus, work better at lower wattages but still bring clarity and warmth, especially with fruit or menthol liquids.

Yes, the NS Frenzy Coils, specifically the 1.6Ω version, are designed for low-power mouth-to-lung setups, such as the Flint Tank. They suit higher-nicotine liquids and offer a tighter draw, making them a solid choice for newer vapers or those switching from cigarettes.

Prime them properly before first use to avoid burnt hits. Add a few drops of e-liquid to the exposed cotton, fill your tank or pod, and wait five to ten minutes before hitting the fire button. Start at the lower end of the recommended wattage and slowly increase. Also, avoid chain vaping as cotton needs time to reabsorb juice between hits, especially with high-powered coils.

The Z Tanks (originally Zeus) are known for their leak resistance. They use top-to-bottom airflow, so the tank doesn’t rely on gravity to hold juice in. That makes them excellent for people who keep their vape in a pocket or bag. The Z Sub-Ohm 2021 and Z Max are two of the most refined versions, offering better airflow and larger juice capacity.

Not really. Most tanks use plug-and-pull coil systems, which makes replacement simple. Cleaning is straightforward as well: disassemble, rinse with warm water, dry, and reassemble. O-rings hold up well with basic care. If you’ve used tanks that gurgle or flood easily, you’ll likely find these tanks a pleasant upgrade.

The Z Max Tank is arguably their best flavour performer if you’re running high-VG juice. It uses large mesh coils with lots of cotton and an optimised chimney design to push dense, warm vapour. For lower wattage flavour chasers, the Z Nano 2 is compact, efficient, and doesn’t waste e-liquid.
