Voted by passionate vapers at the Ecigclick Awards of 2024, these devices showcase the huge improvements in closed pod systems and introduce a few new brands into the mix of the best pods. It was a close race this year, with only 1% difference in voting between the winner.
1. OXVA XLIM PRO 2
With 21.73% of the Vote
The OXVA XLIM PRO 2 steals the spotlight this year with its sleek design, new large bettery, same good old Xlim pods. Each year OXVA has pushed the pod market to the next level, and this is the best pod of 2024.
Key Features:
- Adjustable wattage: 5W to 30W
- 1300mAh built-in battery for extended usage
- Leak-resistant pod system with top-fill design
- Compatible with high-nicotine and regular e-liquids
Perfect for vapers seeking a balance of style, portability, and functionality, the XLIM PRO 2 delivers incredible flavor and dense clouds with its high-performance coils.
2. Vaporesso XROS Pro
With 20.31% of the Vote
Just missing 1st place, the XROS Pro is the best pod right now if you love the closed pods from Vaporesso. It boasts a large battery size of 1200mAh and the new Corex 0.4ohm pods.
Key Features:
- 1200mAh battery with USB-C fast charging
- SSS leak-proof technology
- Mesh coils for rich flavour and smooth vapour
- Magnetic pod connection for secure fitting
Durable and reliable, the XROS Pro is perfect for everyday vaping without sacrificing performance.
3. INNOKIN Trine
With 19.94% of the Vote
While we didn’t stock the Innokin Trine this year, things could change based on this pod placing 3rd. Its unique design, where the battery can be fully replaced, is a great touch for extending the lifespan of the pod.
Key Features:
- Compact and lightweight design
- Draw-activated firing mechanism
- Fixed-coil pods for reliable flavour
- Replaceable battery
An excellent choice for newcomers or those who prefer a minimalist vaping device.
4. VOOPOO ARGUS G2 Mini
With 12.28% of the Vote
Voopoo is always pushing pod lifespan to the max, and the G2 Mini is a great pick. It has a large battery of 1200mAh, and the P1 pods it uses are some of the best around, lasting weeks. Plus, it’s dirt cheap, making it a great pod for beginners.
Key Features:
- 1200mAh battery with fast-charging capability
- Adjustable airflow and wattage
- Durable zinc alloy construction
- Long-lasting P1 pods
This device is ideal for vapers seeking portability without compromising on features.
5. SXmini Puremax
With 8.56% of the Vote
We voted this one last year as the "one to look out for," and we were right! The SXmini Puremax is a great pod because it has features usually found only in high-end products, like full temperature control and anti-dry hit technology, meaning no more burnt-out coils.
While we admit that the problems it faced when it first came out almost killed the pod (because a leaky pod is a no-no in 2024), SXmini committed itself to fixing the pod and improving it. Here’s hoping the SXmini Puremax V2 performs better than the first version.
Key Features:
- Temperature control functionality
- High-capacity pod for fewer refills
- USB-C charging for convenience
- Advanced coil technology for flavour retention
With its robust build and high-end features, the Puremax is a favourite among experienced vapers.
6. Riot Connex
With 4.02% of the Vote
While we didn’t stock the Connex from Riot, we have used the device and understand why it’s a great design. It’s reusable, offers great flavours made by Riot themselves, and features some of the best marketing around. The only reason it ranked lower is the lack of iconic flavours like Pink Grenade.
Key Features:
- Adjustable airflow
- Compact yet powerful design
- 500mAh battery
- Easy to use
7. Elf Bar Elfa Pro
With 3.94% of the Vote
The classic prefilled pod system—it’s hard to see why this isn’t higher on the list. The biggest disposable brand is almost guaranteed to have its fans who want to move away from disposables. This is the best next step for any user, and the flavours taste the same, so we can see why people love it.
Key Features:
- Same flavours as the disposables
- Rechargeable battery
- Smooth draw activation
- Lightweight and travel-friendly
8. Elux P1
With 3.42% of the Vote
While this is Elux's first pod system, it seems to have done the trick, and people love it. By keeping the closed pod system coil and allowing users to use the Legend line of juice, Elux is doing a great job of staying competitive and understanding where the market is going.
Key Features:
- Long-lasting battery life
- Durable and stylish construction
- Easy-to-refill pods
- Compatible with a wide range of e-liquids
9. IVG 2400
With 3.35% of the Vote
From a small e-liquid maker in the UK to a mega company dominating the market, IVG has some of the best disposables with the biggest market share in the UK. The 4-in-1 device was a huge success, offering innovation and the same great flavours.
Key Features:
- Best 4-in-1 device
- Maintenance-free design
- 2400-puff capacity
- Smooth and consistent vapour production
10. Avomi Fliq
With 2.46% of the Vote
Innovation and simplicity
While we don’t know much about the brand Avomi, we can see why people like them. A 4-in-1 device that is fully reusable—just charge it up and replace the pods. It’s similar to the IVG Air but comes at a cheaper price. Even we would recommend it as a good device for anyone looking for a solid 4-in-1 pod system.
Key Features:
- Reusable 4-in-1
- Draw-activated operation
- Long-lasting pods
- Lightweight and pocket-friendly
