Delivery was super fast and the product is genuine. I've had fakes before so this was a relief.
EluxThe Rainbow Elux Cyberover 6K Prefilled Pods by Elux in Rainbow at 10mg and 20mg. Free UK delivery over £20, same-day dispatch on weekday orders before 4pm.
The Elux Cyberover 6K Prefilled Pods in Rainbow are replacement pods for the Elux Cyberover pod device. Each pod arrives already filled with nicotine salt e-liquid, so there is no bottle to open, no fill port to line up and nothing to spill into your bag. You push the pod into the device, take a draw and vape. When the liquid runs low you pull the empty pod out, fit a fresh one and carry on with the same rechargeable battery. That swap-and-go routine is the entire appeal of the format, and it is why this product sits in our pod-refill range rather than alongside the all-in-one devices.
Rainbow is the flavour on this listing. It is a sweet, candy-style fruit mix in the vein of the multi-fruit chewy sweets that most UK vapers will recognise from the confectionery aisle. We go into the taste properly further down, but the headline is simple: it leans sweet and fruity rather than cooling, and it is aimed at adult smokers and existing vapers who want something a long way from tobacco.
Before you buy, it helps to know what is and is not included. The pods are the consumable part. The Cyberover device, with its battery and charging port, is a separate purchase unless the variant on the page says otherwise. If you already own a compatible Cyberover device, these pods are all you need. If you do not, check the device listing first, because prefilled pods are almost always brand and model specific and will not seat properly in another maker's hardware.
Here is the product at a glance, with the caveat that a few figures come from the maker's own labelling or from typical values for this class of pod, so always check the pack in your hand.
That is the overview. The sections below cover how these pods perform, what Rainbow tastes like, how the hardware is put together, and where the pods make sense or are a poor fit.
Start with the number in the name. The 6K on the pack is a puff rating, and puff ratings are the least reliable figure in vaping. They are produced by the maker using a machine that takes a fixed draw at fixed intervals, which looks nothing like a person taking a long draw, then a short one, then nothing for twenty minutes. Treat 6K as a label that tells you where the product sits in the Elux range, not as a promise of how many times you will actually draw on one pod.
There is also a physical limit worth understanding. UK rules cap the tank or pod size on a nicotine vape at 2ml. That is a hard ceiling on how much liquid any single pod can hold, and the amount of liquid is what decides how long a pod lasts. A 2ml pod cannot hold the volume that a four-figure puff rating would imply at normal puff sizes, so be sceptical of any listing that suggests one small pod will carry on for weeks. The honest expectation for a 2ml prefilled pod at 20mg/ml is that it lasts a day or two for a heavy user and several days for someone who vapes lightly or only now and then. Check the pack contents on the variant you pick as well, because the number of pods per pack changes the maths.
In use, performance comes down to four things you can feel straight away.
A few habits stretch a pod further. Take slower, gentler draws rather than hard pulls, which keeps the coil from being starved and reduces wasted liquid. Avoid chain vaping, because back-to-back draws do not give the wick time to refill the coil and that is when a burnt taste creeps in. Keep the device upright between uses so liquid stays near the wick. And replace the pod when the flavour goes flat or a dry, scorched taste appears, rather than trying to squeeze out the last few draws. Burning a nearly empty coil is unpleasant and does nothing for the battery either.
Where it falls short is exactly where you would expect for a small closed pod. It will not match a larger refillable tank for sheer output, and the finite 2ml capacity means you will be swapping pods more often than the headline rating suggests. If you want a full day of vaping without thinking about it, carry a spare pod.
Rainbow belongs to the sweet candy-fruit family. The name points to a blend of several fruit notes rather than one single fruit, in the style of rainbow-coloured chewy sweets. Expect a bright, sugary fruit impression on the inhale, with a mixture of berry, citrus and a softer tropical note underneath, followed by a lingering candy sweetness on the exhale. Nothing about it is cooling. Rainbow is generally a non-menthol, non-ice flavour, so if you want a chill on the exhale you will be happier with an ice variant from the same range.
Flavour descriptions are subjective and vary a little from batch to batch, so take ours as a guide rather than a lab result. What we can say is that mixed-fruit candy profiles tend to be forgiving. They suit people leaving tobacco behind because they taste nothing like it, and they hold up well on a mesh coil, which is good at carrying sweet top notes cleanly rather than muddying them.
If you are not sure Rainbow is for you, the wider Elux range typically includes flavours along these lines. Availability changes with stock and production runs, so treat the variant selector on the product page as the final word on what is currently available.
Sweet flavours bring one trade-off worth knowing about. Sugars and sweeteners in e-liquid can build up as a thin residue on the coil over time. On a pod that is replaced every few days this is rarely a problem, because the coil is thrown away with the pod before residue becomes noticeable. It is one of the quiet advantages of the prefilled format compared with a refillable tank, where a coil used with sweet liquid for weeks can start to taste dull or slightly burnt.
Flavour fatigue is also real. If you vape the same sweet profile all day, your palate dulls to it and the flavour seems to fade even though nothing has changed in the pod. Drinking water, brushing your teeth or alternating with a different flavour for a day usually brings it back. Because pods are sealed units, switching flavour is as simple as swapping the pod, and there is no flushing or cleaning needed beyond a couple of draws to clear any trace of the previous flavour from the airflow path.
A prefilled pod is a small component, but the details of how it is made decide whether it is a pleasure or a nuisance to use every day. The Cyberover pod is a compact moulded unit: a plastic body that holds the liquid, a mouthpiece at one end, a mesh coil assembly inside and a pair of contacts on the base that connect to the device. The exact materials are not itemised on the pack, but pods of this type are typically moulded from a rigid plastic made for contact with e-liquid, and they are designed to be sealed at the factory and not opened by the user.
These are the points we judge any prefilled pod on, and they are worth checking when yours arrives.
On leak resistance, a closed pod gives you far fewer problems than an open tank, but no pod is immune. Changes in temperature and air pressure can cause a little liquid to weep from the airflow path. A pod left in a hot car, on a sunny windowsill or in a bag on a flight is the usual culprit. Store pods and the device upright where you can, keep them out of direct heat, and wipe the mouthpiece if you see condensation.
Batch-to-batch consistency is something every prefilled pod brand has to work at, and we would rather be straight about it than pretend otherwise. If a pod arrives cracked, leaking or with a damaged connector, do not try to use it. Contact us with your order number and a photo and we will look at it with you. The finish and look of the Cyberover device itself is covered on the device listing, since this page is about the pod.
One thing to be clear about early: the pods do not contain a battery. The power comes from the Elux Cyberover device, and the pod is simply the consumable that sits on top of it. So when people talk about the battery life of this product, they are really talking about the device battery and how well it keeps pace with the pods you fit.
Pod devices in this class commonly carry lithium-ion batteries in the region of 500 to 900mAh. We are giving that as a typical range for the category rather than a verified figure for your specific device, so check the device listing or the manual for the exact capacity. As a rule of thumb, a battery of that size will usually get you through a 2ml pod, or close to it, on a single charge for a moderate user. Heavy users may need to top up once during the life of a pod.
Charging is done with a USB cable, and most current pod devices use USB-C. A few practical points keep the battery healthy and safe.
Charging time varies with battery size and charger, but 30 to 90 minutes is a realistic window for a pod device of this size. If your device has pass-through charging, which lets you vape while it charges, we still recommend letting it charge on its own where you can, as vaping while charging adds heat.
Over the long run, a lithium battery loses capacity gradually, usually over a couple of years of regular use, so a device that feels like it needs charging more often after a long time is behaving normally. When a device finally reaches the end of its life, do not put it in the bin. Lithium batteries cause fires in refuse lorries and recycling plants, and we cover the proper drop-off options in the UK rules section below.
Each Cyberover pod has its own coil built in, and that coil is made of mesh rather than a conventional round wire wound into a spiral. A mesh coil is a thin, perforated sheet of resistance metal shaped into a cylinder or strip. The practical differences from a wire coil are easy to feel once you have used both.
The resistance of the coil determines how the pod behaves on the device. Nicotine salt pods commonly use resistances somewhere in the region of 0.8 to 1.2 ohms, paired with a lower wattage and a mouth-to-lung draw that feels close to pulling on a cigarette. We have not been given a verified resistance figure for this exact pod, so read that range as typical for the category, not as a specific spec.
Because the coil is sealed inside the pod, you never have to build, wick or prime it yourself. That removes the most common beginner mistake in vaping, which is fitting a dry coil and burning it on the first draw. It does help to let a fresh pod sit for two to three minutes after you fit it, though. That wait gives the cotton wick time to absorb liquid right through to the coil, and it prevents the dry, harsh first few draws that make a new pod seem faulty when it is not.
Coil life is tied directly to pod life, and that is the design intention. You are not expected to replace the coil on its own, and you cannot. When the pod is spent, so is the coil. A few things shorten a coil's life: chain vaping, drawing on a pod with a very low liquid level, and using a device with a failing battery that delivers uneven power. If you vape gently, give the wick a moment between draws and replace the pod when the flavour fades, the coil should last for as long as the liquid does.
UK law caps nicotine in e-liquid at 20mg/ml, which is 2% by volume. Nothing sold legally in the UK for vaping can go above that, so if you ever see a pod or device offering 50mg or similar, it is not a product intended for the UK market and you should avoid it. The 20mg figure is a ceiling, not a recommendation. How much you actually need depends on how much you smoked or vaped before and how you like to draw.
These are general starting points, not medical advice.
Some signs you are using too much nicotine are dizziness, nausea, a racing heart, headache or a sore throat that does not ease. If that happens, put the device down, drink some water and move to a lower strength next time. Signs you are using too little are constant cravings, taking many more draws than before, or slipping back to cigarettes. In that case, a higher strength may help, but do not exceed what your body tolerates.
Nicotine salts differ from freebase nicotine in how they hit. A salt at 20mg/ml is typically smoother on the throat than freebase at the same level, which makes it practical for pod devices, but it also delivers nicotine more quickly. That is helpful for smokers who miss the fast hit of a cigarette, and it is also the reason non-smokers should not start with it.
Nicotine is addictive. These pods are for adults who smoke or already vape, and they are not a product for people who have never used nicotine. If you want to quit altogether, NHS stop smoking services and your local pharmacy can offer free advice and support alongside vaping, and a stepped reduction in strength over several weeks is a common plan. If you are pregnant, have a heart condition or take regular medication, talk to your GP or pharmacist before using nicotine products.
No pod is right for everyone. Here is where we think Rainbow in the Cyberover format fits well, and where you would do better looking elsewhere.
These pods are a good match if you:
You should probably skip them if you:
There is also the question of habit and routine. If you are the sort of person who forgets to charge things, runs on a tight budget or hates running out away from home, a pod system requires a bit of organisation. You need to remember the charger, keep a spare pod and recognise when a pod is spent. People who are happy with that find the format easy to live with. People who want a device they never have to think about may find it more of a chore than they expected.
Finally, think about why you are buying. If the goal is to replace cigarettes, choose a nicotine strength that actually satisfies you, because underpowered vaping is how many people drift back to smoking. If the goal is just something to do with your hands, a lower strength or even a nicotine-free pod might be a better choice. Both are legitimate, and both are easier to get right if you decide before you order.
Fitting a prefilled pod takes under a minute. Follow the instructions that come with your Cyberover device if they differ from the steps below, since the device manual is the authority on that specific hardware.
For most nicotine salt pods, the natural technique is mouth-to-lung: draw the vapour into your mouth, pause for a second, then inhale. Some people prefer a direct-to-lung draw, but a pod this size is built for the slower style, and a hard pull can starve the coil and give a burnt taste. Start gentle and adjust to what feels right.
To remove an empty pod, pull it straight out of the device without twisting. Do not use tools and do not force it. Fit the next pod in exactly the same way. Spent pods still contain a little nicotine-bearing residue, so keep them away from children and pets until you can dispose of them properly.
Avoid these common mistakes: pulling hard on a brand new pod before it has primed, vaping the pod until it is completely dry, leaving the device in a hot place, and trying to open or refill a sealed pod. None of these gets you extra value, and several shorten the life of the coil or the device.
When you are not using the device, store it upright if you can, with the pod fitted and the mouthpiece clean. A spare pod can ride in a pocket or bag, so long as it is away from keys and loose coins that could damage the connector, and away from heat. And if you are travelling by air, keep your device in your hand luggage rather than the hold, since devices with lithium batteries must travel in the cabin.
Most problems with prefilled pods come down to a handful of simple causes. Work through the relevant item before assuming a pod is faulty.
If you have been through the list and the problem persists, contact us with your order number, the flavour and strength, a short description of what is happening and, if you can, a photo. The more detail you give, the quicker we can work out whether you have a faulty pod, a faulty device or a technique issue.
One final point on safety. If you ever notice a battery that swells, hisses, smells of chemicals or gets very hot, stop using it immediately, move it to a hard, non-flammable surface and do not try to charge it again. Lithium battery faults are rare, but when they happen they are serious, and no vape is worth the risk.
Value is easy to miscalculate with pods, so here is a plain way to think about it. Add up what you spend on pods each week, add the cost of the device spread over a year or so, and compare it with what you spent on cigarettes. For many adult smokers who switch, the saving is considerable even after buying a device and a regular supply of pods. Against other vaping formats the picture is more mixed.
The pod price per ml is higher than the price of a bottle of nicotine salt liquid. A 10ml bottle holds five times as much liquid as a 2ml pod and normally costs a good deal less than five pods. If you want the lowest running cost, a refillable pod kit with bottles will beat any prefilled pod. What you pay for with prefilled pods is convenience: no bottles, no spills, no coil changes and a predictable flavour. For some people that is a fair trade. For others it is paying extra for something they would be happy to do themselves.
Here is how the Cyberover pods stack up against the usual alternatives. This is a general guide and not the result of controlled lab testing, and details change from one release to the next.
Where the Rainbow pods make sense on value is for someone who already owns a Cyberover device. In that case, the only cost is the pods themselves, and you are paying for a consistent flavour and a sealed, mess-free format. If you do not own the device, then the whole system cost matters, and comparing the first-year cost across two or three systems is worth ten minutes of your time.
Prices change with stock and promotions, so check the live price on this page rather than relying on figures quoted elsewhere. As a general tip, buying a multi-pod pack where one is offered usually lowers the cost per pod, and keeping a spare pod in your bag costs little compared with a rushed purchase from a corner shop at a premium.
Vaping products sold in the UK sit under specific rules, and it helps to know them so that you can tell a genuine product from one that should not be on sale. Nicotine e-liquid is capped at 20mg/ml. Prefilled pods and tanks are capped at 2ml. Products must carry a nicotine health warning, a list of ingredients and a batch reference, and they must be notified to the regulator before sale. If a pod or pack is missing those details or carries a nicotine strength above 20mg/ml, do not use it.
The law on single-use vapes has also changed. Since 1 June 2025, selling single-use vapes has been banned in Great Britain, which is one reason rechargeable pod systems with replaceable pods have become more common. A device with a rechargeable battery and replaceable pods is a different category from a throwaway device. We still ask everybody to treat the pods and the device as things to be reused, replaced and recycled responsibly, and not simply thrown away.
You must be 18 or over to buy a nicotine vape in the UK. We ask for confirmation of age when you order, and carriers may ask for proof of age on delivery for age-restricted parcels, so make sure someone over 18 is available to receive it.
Disposal matters because vapes combine electronics, a lithium battery and a small amount of nicotine-containing liquid. Spent pods and old devices should not go into household bins or kerbside recycling. Instead, use one of these routes.
If you can, remove spent pods and drop them in the same container as the device. Do not pierce, crush or burn a pod or a device. Keep the old items somewhere safe, away from children and pets, until you can drop them off.
Finally, store nicotine products out of the sight and reach of children and pets. Nicotine in any form can be harmful if swallowed or if it gets onto the skin, and spilled liquid should be wiped up straight away. If a child or animal comes into contact with e-liquid, contact a doctor, NHS 111 or a vet without delay. Respect other people too: avoid vaping in places where it is prohibited or where others have asked you not to.

Elux built an audience with the original Elux Legend 3500 and now runs an expanded pod line including Cyberover and Legend 8000 refills. The brand's signature is sweet-leaning flavour builds and iconic colour-coded packaging — easy to spot on a crowded shelf.
UK law caps vape liquid at 20mg/ml, and that is a sensible starting point for adults switching from a regular smoking habit of around ten cigarettes a day or more. Lighter smokers or those cutting down often prefer 10 to 12mg/ml, and lower or nicotine-free options are available where the variant selector shows them. If you feel dizzy, sick or jittery, move down a strength.
The pods are a sealed consumable with no battery, so they never need charging. The Elux Cyberover device charges through its USB port using a standard 5V cable and adapter, and a realistic charge time is somewhere between 30 and 90 minutes. Charge it on a hard surface, do not leave it plugged in unattended overnight, and stop using it if the device gets very hot or the battery looks swollen.
Yes, you can swap flavours at any time by removing the pod and fitting a different one, with no need to clean anything. Take a couple of draws to clear the airflow path before settling into the new flavour. These pods are made for the Elux Cyberover device, so do not assume they will fit another brand or model, and check the device listing before you order.
A UK pod holds a maximum of 2ml of liquid, so it lasts a day or two for a heavy user and several days for a lighter one. The 6K figure in the product name is a manufacturer rating from machine testing, so use it for comparison and not as a promise of real-world puffs. Gentle draws and avoiding chain vaping help each pod go further.
It is fair value for someone who already owns a Cyberover device and wants simple, mess-free replacement pods. Per ml, a prefilled pod costs more than a bottle of nicotine salt for a refillable kit, so heavy users who want the lowest running cost may save money with a refillable system. Check the live price on the page and compare the first-year cost of the whole system before you decide.
They suit adult smokers and existing vapers who like sweet fruit flavours and want a compact, rechargeable format. They are not for under-18s, non-smokers, or anyone who is pregnant or has a heart condition unless a doctor has said otherwise. If you want menthol, tobacco, adjustable power or a low running cost, another product will probably suit you better.
We deliver to addresses in the UK, and the delivery options, costs and estimated times are shown at checkout. Vapes are age-restricted, so we ask you to confirm you are 18 or over when you order, and the carrier may ask for proof of age on delivery. Make sure someone over 18 is available to receive the parcel.
If a pod or pack arrives damaged, leaking or faulty, contact us as soon as you can with your order number and a photo, and we will work out a replacement or refund with you. Your statutory rights for faulty goods under UK consumer law apply. For hygiene and age-restriction reasons, opened or used pods generally cannot be returned unless they are faulty, so see our returns page for the exact details.
No. Prefilled pods are sealed and are not designed to be opened or refilled, and trying to do so can damage the coil and cause leaks. Put empty pods and old devices into a vape or small electrical recycling point at a retailer take-back scheme or your local household waste recycling centre. Never put them in a household bin or kerbside recycling, because of the battery and the liquid residue.

Delivery was super fast and the product is genuine. I've had fakes before so this was a relief.
Pleasantly surprised. Was expecting it to be average but it's actually really nice. Recommended.
Really nice flavour — not too sweet, not too harsh. Perfect in the middle. Second order already placed.
Easy to use, straight out the pack and working. No fiddling about with anything. Great for beginners too.
Solid purchase. Has become part of my routine now. Will continue ordering from here.
Battery lasts me a full day easily. Charging is quick. Overall very pleased with the purchase.
