2020 Top 10 Pod Systems

Pod Systems are a great addition to the vaping game. When they first came out, they were simple systems with a pod and coil that operated in MTL format to produce a strong concentrated vapor. However, as they’ve had plenty of time to mature and refine, vape manufacturers are putting more time into research and development of pod systems, introducing new technologies or features into pod systems. We’ve compiled a list of the top 10 vaping pod and pod mod systems that deliver a satisfying experience for all types of users that we are sure a seasoned vaper has used or would be interested in using. This list is in no particular order and may showcase some older items due to the lack of releases from the global pandemic.

Uwell really hit it out of the park with the Caliburn G Pod System. Stemming from the original Caliburn Pod System, the Uwell Caliburn G Pod System came from listening to what the vaping community was looking for in terms of improvements to an already great pod system. Increased battery size, faster charging system, and a replaceable coil help boost the Caliburn G to such great heights. Still outputting delicious flavor and vapor in a slightly bigger chassis, the Uwell Caliburn G is a great replacement for lovers of the original Caliburn Pod System.

Geek Vape has been known to produce solid vaping systems and atomizers across all categories of vaping. With their introduction of the Aegis Hero, this creation is no different. Added to the legendary Aegis lineage, the Hero Pod System can hold up to 4mL of your favorite eJuice or nicotine salt and is powered by an integrated 1500mAh battery that will deliver satisfying vapor anywhere you go. Maintaining the IP67 rating, this pod system is perfect for those in extreme or harsh conditions that would cripple lesser vapes.

Geek Vape also has the Aegis Boost PLUS Pod System, a finely engineered piece of vaping hardware. Incorporating the classic IP67 rating, the Aegis Boost PLUS is protected against intrusion and resists water, dust, and shock. Utilizing the G. Coil Boost Formula Coils, the Aegis Boost Plus can call upon the 0.4ohm or 0.6ohm mesh options to grant superior flavor and vapor output for optimal performance. Holding up to 5mL of eJuice and relying on an interchangeable 18650 battery make this a top tier vaping pod system.

Next in this list is the SMOK RPM40 and RPM 2 Pod Mod System, both offering a 40W and 80W ceiling, respectively. Holding up to 4.3mL and 7mL of eJuice within their respective pods, the SMOK RPM and RPM 2 are great pod systems with enduring coil support from the RPM, RPM 2, and Nord Coil Series, allowing the user to find the optimal coil option for their preferred vapor output. In addition, SMOK offers an external battery option called the SMOK RPM 2S, for those that prefer not to rely on an integrated battery.

The SMOK Nord 2 has earned a spot on this list with its considerable upgrades from the original SMOK nord. Enlarging the eJuice holding capacity, battery life span, and offering an adjustable wattage are just some of the few upgrades that helped catapult the SMOK Nord 2 Pod System onto this list. The crowning feature would be the inclusion of RPM Coils that double the potential coils utilized on this advanced pod system. In addition, an added screen helps relay any necessary information or details to the user. Keep an eye out for the Nord 4 Pod System that is coming soon!

Vandy Vape’s entry into this top 10 list would be the KYLIN M AIO Pod System, a highly multifunctional vaping pod system offering a modular style of vaping.

Incorporating temperature control options, this pod mod system can do it all, offering multiple mesh options in both atomizer pods. Holding up to 2.5mL or 5mL, respectively, the Kylin M AIO is great for freebase eJuice or nicotine salts.

2020 isn't just defined by these pod systems. Some came close to making this list and definitely deserve some of the spotlight here. We will list them below as honorable mentions.

OXVA's Origin X Pod System should have made this list, as it has plenty of the features that we look for in a stellar pod system. With the ability to utilize a 510 adapter (sold separately) for pairing with rebuildable atomizers or sub-ohm tanks, the Origin X is a powerhouse for a single battery vape. However, one of the main highlights of this device is the exceptional quality of the UNI Mesh Coils, offered in a 0.2ohm, 0.3ohm, 0.5ohm, and 1.0ohm option. These long lasting coils coupled with the outstanding build quality and design of this device make it better than most pod systems available in the vaping market segment today.
