How to refill a puff with e-liquid?

For several years now, the puff has established itself as an essential e-cigarette for beginners. Practical, affordable, and requiring no complicated settings, it has won over thousands of former smokers looking to switch to vaping without breaking the bank.

But since the ban on disposable puffs in 2025, the market has evolved. The era of the single-use disposable e-cigarette is over. Today, it is possible to refill a puff with e-liquid thanks to new solutions offered by manufacturers. These rechargeable puffs are designed to combine savings, eco-friendliness and ease of use.

Wondering how to refill a puff with e-liquid? Follow the guide!

Option 1: The rechargeable puff with manual e-liquid filling

These rechargeable puff models come with 10 ml e-liquid bottles. They feature a small tank into which you can pour the e-liquid. The fill hole is generally located on the side of the device, accessible by removing a small silicone flap. You can also choose whichever liquid you want to use with it (CBD, nicotine salts, or other).

Its battery charges via a USB-C port to ensure a longer vaping experience.

Advantage:

• These models offer excellent value for money. They come with compatible e-liquid vials, suited to the coil and the power of the built-in battery;

• You can choose your flavours and aromas (iced strawberry, red fruits, mint, etc.) as well as the nicotine level (including CBD or nicotine-free);

• They charge easily via a USB-C port, using a USB cable.

Disadvantage:

• The built-in coil is not replaceable. Once worn out (after 2 to 3 weeks or a few thousand puffs), you will need to replace the entire rechargeable puff.

Example: JNR Falcon-X 28K Puff

The JNR Falcon-X is a high-performance electronic puff compliant with TPD, designed to deliver up to 28,000 puffs! It features a rechargeable 950 mAh battery via USB, and works with included liquids in 10 ml, available in several fruity flavours.

Option 2: The pre-filled cartridge puff or pod system

Another popular alternative: the puff with pre-filled cartridges, pod system or pre-filled pods. This is an e-cigarette kit consisting of a rechargeable battery and cartridges that already contain liquid with a built-in coil. When your cartridge is empty, simply remove it and replace it with a new one, without having to handle any e-liquid. You thus change the e-liquid as well as the coil.

Advantage:

• The battery is kept and recharged using a USB cable, limiting lithium waste;

• There is a wide variety of cartridges, with different flavours, nicotine levels, and capacities (often between 1 and 2 ml). The most well-known brands such as Liquideo (Wpuff), Vuse, Aspire or Elfa offer this system;

• You can easily alternate flavours by changing cartridges: strawberry, red fruits, menthol ice, etc.;

• Convenient, the risk of leaking is almost non-existent thanks to its closed system, and you do not have to handle e-liquid and risk spilling it.

Disadvantage:

• Cartridge changes are more frequent, as they have a reduced capacity. You will always need to keep one in reserve so you never run out of liquid.

Example: Nexi One Dual Kit Aspire & LVD

The Nexi One Dual Kit is the V2 of the award-winning Best Innovation model from VapExpo 2024. It works with two interchangeable pod cartridges of 1.2 ml. Its 1120 mAh battery lets you vape for hours, even days. This kit is ideal for testing several flavours thanks to its two simultaneous cartridges. Its MTL draw perfectly mimics that of a traditional cigarette.

Which solution is the most sustainable and eco-friendly?

Even though manually filled rechargeable puff e-cigarettes already represent a significant step forward, it is cartridge-based systems (such as pod or vape pen) that take the top spot for sustainability. Why? Because you do not throw away the battery with every coil change. You simply replace the cartridge or the tank, which drastically reduces electronic waste, including the lithium and precious metals contained in its electronics.

The rechargeable pod system with pre-filled cartridges is therefore the best choice for those who want a durable e-cigarette that is environmentally friendly and cost-effective. Shop your affordable rechargeable puff right now!

How to refill a puff with e-liquid? The two solutions

• Manual filling: the puff comes with e-liquid vials and its tank must be filled manually. This system is perfect for testing several liquids, but less durable and cost-effective over time;

• Pre-filled cartridge: the puff uses pre-filled pod cartridges containing e-liquid, to be changed once empty. More eco-friendly and simple to use, it is ideal for varying your flavour, your aromas and nicotine level.
