If you’ve ever used a closed-pod vape system, like STLTH, you’ve likely wondered, at one point or another, whether or not you can refill the pods. The short answer is no, there is no way to safely and effectively refill a STLTH pod. They are called closed pod systems for a reason, and they’re meant to stay closed.
The entire design of the pod was crafted with single-use in mind, so even if you could, you still shouldn’t because it won’t be the same experience as using the pods the way they are intended to be used. Well above the quality issue, it is simply not safe to open STLTH pods on your own, nor is it safe to use a STLTH pod that has been opened and refilled.
If your desire to refill your STLTH pods comes out of concern for the environment, you can still keep your pods out of landfills by taking advantage of our in-store STLTH pod recycling program. Check out our store locator tool and check the Recycling Drop-Off box at the top of the page to find a participating STLTH pod recycling program location near you.
Refilling STLTH Pods Is Not Safe!
The most important reason why you should never attempt to open and refill a STLTH vape pod is that it is not safe. STLTH brand pods and other closed pods are not meant to be opened, which means that you will more than likely break the pod as you try to get it open. This could result in any number of potential injuries and should not be attempted.
Even if you were able to get the pod open without any visible damage, the integrity of any part of the device could be compromised which could result in random failure of the pod structure that, at best, would cause your e-liquid to leak out, potentially damaging your STLTH device or, at worst, could result in injury.
Refilling STLTH Pods Defeats the Purpose of the Pod Design
Beyond the safety issues involved with trying to open and refill closed pods like the original STLTH pods or STLTH X pods, the vaping experience would be completely different, and not in a good way.
All STLTH products are made with proprietary blends of e-liquids that are carefully crafted to give the best balance of flavour, nicotine strength, the type of nicotine, throat hit, vapour density, and many other factors. Using other e-liquids in a STLTH pod will never taste as good as a new, sealed STLTH pod.
Another thing that would impact the taste and overall vape experience significantly is the fact that STLTH pods are designed for a single use, meaning the wicks and coils that are used inside the pods are not durable enough to withstand a second use. You’ll likely start to get burnt-tasting hits quite quickly after refilling the pod, if it even works at all.
So, the long answer to whether you can refill STLTH pods is also no. It is not what they are designed for and so it is neither safe nor effective to attempt to refill STLTH pods. For the best experience, only use STLTH pods that are sealed in their official packaging. You can even authenticate your pods on our website to be sure that you’re getting the real deal every time.
