Differences between AIO, POD and PNP systems made easy

 

Introduction to the world of AIO, POD and PNP systems made easy

When browsing through the world of e-cigarettes, you will come across many terms and designations on the products. To give you a clear overview, we explain the differences between the most common systems - AIO, POD and PNP - in a simple and understandable way. 

POD systems: simple and practical 

 

A POD system usually consists of a small, refillable plastic tank called a "pod". These devices are very user-friendly:

  • Form factor: They are small and compact, similar to a pen, which makes them very portable.
  • Reusability: Many pods are refillable. There are also disposable options where you have to throw the pod away as soon as the liquid is empty.
  • Coils: The vaporizer units (coils) are often permanently installed and are replaced together with the pod.
  • Battery and power: The batteries are usually permanently installed and the power is not adjustable, which simplifies handling.

POD systems are ideal for beginners or as an inconspicuous option when traveling. They are particularly popular because of their simplicity and ease of use. 

AIO sets: All in one 

AIOstands for "All-in-One", which means that these systems combine everything in one compact device:

  • Design: AIO devices are handy and have no protruding parts.
  • Tank and coils: The liquid tank is integrated in the battery carrier and the coils are interchangeable.
  • Battery: The battery can be permanently installed or replaceable, depending on the model.
  • Power settings: Some models allow you to adjust the power, others automatically regulate the power based on the resistance of the coil.

AIO devices are perfect for vapers who are looking for a practical, compact solution and don't want to deal with the compatibility of different components. 

PNP systems: Flexible and user-friendly 

PNP stands for "Plug-and-Play" and refers to systems that are particularly easy to handle:

  • Magnetic connection: PNP tanks attach to the battery carrier or base with magnets.
  • Compatibility: PNP pods are often only compatible with devices from the same manufacturer. PNP tanks with a 510 connection fit on various battery carriers.
  • Interchangeability: The coils in these tanks are interchangeable, which extends the useful life and allows for different liquids.
  • Capacity: PNP tanks usually have a larger filling volume, ideal for vaping over a longer period of time.

PNP systems are great for vapers who value flexibility and want to switch quickly between different liquids without having to replace the entire tank. 

Conclusion 

Which system you choose depends on your personal preferences and needs. Whether you prefer the simplicity and convenience of a POD system, the compact integration of an AIO device or the flexibility of a PNP system, there is a suitable device for everyone. With this knowledge of the differences, you'll be well equipped to find the ideal product for you. Have fun vaping!
