Imp Jar Select Replacement Pods: what they are and who they suit

Imp Jar Select Replacement Pods are the swap-in pods for the Imp Jar Select pod system, listed at £4.75 each on VapeShopOnline. In any pod system the pod is the consumable part. It holds the e-liquid, contains the coil that heats it and carries the mouthpiece you draw on, while the battery and charging port stay in the device you keep. When flavour fades or the coil wears out, you fit a fresh pod instead of replacing the whole kit, and that is the one job this product does.

Imp Jar is a brand most UK vapers associate with e-liquid, including 50ml and 100ml shortfills, and the Select pods carry that name into the pod-system format. Everything we list from the brand sits on the Imp Jar collection page. If you are weighing up other formats, the wider refills and pods range shows what else is available for other devices.

This guide is written for UK adults only (18+). It is deliberately plain about what the listing does and does not tell you. We do not invent figures. Where a number such as a puff count or a liquid volume is not stated for this product, we say so and explain how to judge it yourself, using the rules that apply to every refillable pod sold in the UK.

Here is what the guide covers:

• The specifications that are actually stated, and the ones that are not
• Compatibility, battery and charging, so you buy the right pod for the right device
• Performance, flavour, build and coil behaviour in real use
• Nicotine strength guidance under UK limits
• Filling, priming and troubleshooting
• Value for money, honest comparisons, delivery, returns and recycling

The short version: these are low-cost, device-specific replacement pods for people who already own an Imp Jar Select device, who want to choose their own e-liquid and strength, and who would rather change a pod than throw away a whole kit. If that is not you, the sections on compatibility and on who should skip them will save you a wasted order.

Specifications at a glance: what is stated and what is not

Product pages for replacement pods look thinner than pages for disposables because there is no puff rating, no battery capacity and no flavour name to quote. Here is the full picture, kept to facts we can stand behind.

• Product: Imp Jar Select Replacement Pods
• Brand: Imp Jar
• Type: replacement pod for a refillable pod system, sold as an accessory
• Price: £4.75 per pod
• Options in this product family: two listings, one of which is labelled 0.8ohm
• Nicotine strength supplied with the pod: none listed (0mg), so the strength you vape comes from the e-liquid you choose
• UK maximum capacity for a refillable pod or tank: 2ml
• Battery inside the pod: none, the battery lives in the device
• Delivery: free standard UK delivery on orders over £20

Now the gaps, because they matter as much as the list above. A responsible listing tells you what it does not know, so here is how to treat each missing figure.

• Puff count: a replacement pod has no puff rating of its own. Puff ratings belong to prefilled disposables and prefilled pods, where the manufacturer fills a fixed amount of liquid. With a refillable pod, the number of puffs you get depends on how much liquid you put in, how hard and how often you draw, and the power your device delivers.
• Battery capacity in mAh: the pod does not contain a battery, so there is no figure to quote. Battery size is a property of the Imp Jar Select device you pair it with.
• Exact liquid volume: UK rules cap refillable pods and tanks at 2ml, and a pod sold here is designed within that limit. Check the marking on the pod itself for the fill line.
• Coil construction: the listing does not say whether the coil is mesh or a standard wire coil, so we do not claim either. What it does tell us is the resistance on the 0.8ohm option, which we explain in the coil section below.

If a specific fact matters to your purchase, such as whether a pod will fit your exact device revision, contact our UK team before ordering and we will check it for you rather than guess.

Compatibility, battery and charging

Compatibility is the single most important thing to get right with replacement pods. Pods are almost never universal. Each system has its own pod shape, its own electrical contacts or connector, and its own way of seating the pod so it clicks into place and fires correctly. A pod built for one brand will not reliably fit another, and forcing it can damage the device. Our own range proves the point: a SMOK Novo 2 replacement pod and a Voopoo Ito replacement pod each serve only their own device, even though both are sold as replacement pods at similar prices.

The same applies here. Imp Jar Select Replacement Pods are for the Imp Jar Select pod system. At the time of writing our Imp Jar collection lists these pods rather than a device, so this product is aimed at people who already own the Select device. If you do not, browse our pod kits for a complete starter option first, then come back for spare pods once you know which system you have settled on.

A quick compatibility check before you order:

• Confirm your device is an Imp Jar Select and not another Imp Jar format
• Look at the pod currently in your device and compare its shape and contacts with the product photo
• If your device offers more than one resistance, check which one you want, since the listing family includes a 0.8ohm option
• If you are not sure, send us a photo through the contact page and we will tell you

Battery and charging. The pod has no battery. Battery capacity, charge time and charging port type are all properties of the device, so check your device's own instructions for those details. A few habits apply to any rechargeable vape:

• Use a standard USB wall adapter or a computer port, not a high-output fast charger unless the device says it is supported
• Do not vape while the device is charging, and do not leave it charging unattended for long periods
• Stop using any device that becomes unusually hot, swells or smells of burning, and take it to a battery recycling point
• Keep charge ports clean and dry, because moisture and residue are common causes of poor contact

Resistance also has a small effect on battery life. At the same voltage, a lower-resistance coil draws more current and uses more energy per puff than a higher-resistance one. A 0.8ohm pod will usually drain a battery a little faster than a tighter, higher-ohm pod would, all else equal. If you like to vape through the day, keep the device topped up rather than letting it run flat.

Performance and vapour delivery in real use

Performance with a refillable pod comes from five things working together: the coil resistance, how well the coil wicks liquid, the airflow, the e-liquid you choose and the power your device sends to the coil. The pod controls the first three. You and your device control the rest. That is why two people can use the same pod and describe it differently.

On the 0.8ohm option, you are in the middle of the resistance range found in modern pod systems. It is lower than the tight, high-resistance coils built for a restricted mouth-to-lung draw, and higher than the open sub-ohm coils built for large clouds. In practice that generally means a draw with a little more openness than a very tight pod, warm rather than hot vapour at modest power, and flavour that stays defined rather than being diluted by heavy airflow. These are general behaviours of coils in this resistance band, not measured results for this specific pod, so treat them as a guide to what to expect rather than a promise.

What you can expect in everyday use:

• A fresh pod needs a short settling period. Let the coil soak up liquid before you vape (see the priming steps later). A coil that has not saturated will taste dry or burnt, and that is the most common reason a new pod is wrongly blamed.
• Vapour production tracks your puff style. Slow, steady draws let the coil wick keep pace. Rapid, repeated draws can outrun the wicking and cause a dry or harsh puff.
• Consistency depends on the liquid. Thinner liquids wick quickly and reliably in small pod coils. Very thick, high-VG liquids can wick slowly and are better suited to larger open systems.
• Output is steady rather than dramatic. Pod systems are built for convenience and discretion, not for chasing big clouds.

What 2ml means in use. The UK cap on pod and tank capacity is 2ml, so one fill is a small amount of liquid. A 10ml bottle, the largest size allowed for nicotine e-liquid in the UK, gives you at most five full pod fills. Heavier vapers will refill more often than light ones, and a fill that lasts one person a day or two might last another much less. We would rather you learn your own pattern in the first week than trust an invented puff figure.

Because the pod is the part that touches the liquid, it also determines how clean the experience stays over time. Sweet, dessert-style liquids leave more residue on a coil than menthol, tobacco or light fruit liquids, so heavy use of sweeter flavours may mean you change pods a little sooner. That is not a flaw in the pod, it is how coils behave, and it is the reason replacement pods exist at all.

Flavour: what the pod adds and what your e-liquid does

A replacement pod does not come with a flavour of its own. The taste you get is the taste of the e-liquid you fill it with, delivered by the coil. That is a feature rather than a limitation: you choose what goes in, whether you want fruit, ice, menthol, tobacco or something sweeter, and you can change your mind when you fit the next pod.

The pod's contribution to flavour is about fidelity, meaning how accurately the coil and airflow carry the liquid's character to your mouth. A clean, well-saturated coil with moderate airflow preserves the detail in a fruit and ice blend, while a worn coil flattens it. Flavour that starts bright and dulls over a couple of weeks is usually the coil telling you it is time for a new pod.

Good pairings for a pod in this resistance range:

• Nicotine salt liquids in 50/50 or similar thin blends: smooth at higher strengths and well suited to low-power pod devices. Browse our nicotine salt e-liquids. Examples in our range include Bar Juice 5000 Nic Salts Apple Peach and IVG Intense Salts Banana Ice, both in 10mg and 20mg.
• Cooling liquids: the ice e-liquids and menthol e-liquids collections hold the flavours that tend to stay clean on a coil for longer.
• Nicotine-free shortfills: if you vape at 0mg, our shortfill e-liquids are a cost-effective way to fill a pod, as long as the liquid is thin enough to wick well.

Check the VG and PG ratio on any bottle before you buy. For small pod coils, a balanced blend such as 50/50 is the safe starting point because it wicks quickly. Higher-VG blends produce more vapour but are more likely to starve a small coil, which shows up as a dry taste after a few puffs.

A practical tip on switching flavours: a pod keeps a memory of the liquid it last held. If you move from a strong menthol to a delicate fruit, you will taste a trace of the old flavour (often called ghosting) until the coil clears. The simplest fix is to start a fresh pod when you change profile, which is another reason a pack of spares is useful. Do not try to flush pods with water, as the coil and wick are not designed for it.

One more consideration is liquid storage. Keep your e-liquid bottles upright, tightly capped and out of direct sunlight, and never pour liquid back from a pod into the bottle. A clean fill every time protects the flavour you paid for.

Design and build quality: what to check when the pod arrives

A replacement pod looks simple, but it is a small assembly with several parts that have to seal properly: the liquid reservoir, the fill port with its bung, the coil and wick, the airflow path and the mouthpiece. Leaks and weak performance in pods almost always trace back to one of those seals, so a thirty-second inspection when the pod arrives is worth doing.

What to look for:

• Intact packaging: the pod should arrive in sealed packaging from a genuine supplier. We sell genuine products only.
• A clear, crack-free reservoir: hold the pod up to the light and check for hairline cracks or scuffs around the base.
• A seated fill port: the bung or cap over the fill port should sit flush. A bung that sits proud is the most common cause of leaks.
• Clean contacts: the electrical contacts at the base should be bright and free of residue.
• A free, unobstructed airflow path: look through the mouthpiece and check that it is not blocked by packaging film.

When you handle the pod, keep it upright and avoid squeezing the reservoir, because pressure can push liquid past the seals. Never over-tighten or force a pod into the device. A correctly matched pod seats with light pressure and, depending on the system, a click or magnetic hold.

Build quality in pods is also about how they age. A pod that is fine on day one can start to seep if it is left half-full in a warm place, because liquid expands slightly with heat. Store spare pods in their packaging, upright, at room temperature, and avoid leaving a device with a filled pod in a car or on a sunny windowsill. Likewise, if you are not going to use the device for several days, consider removing the pod and storing it upright so liquid does not sit against the seal.

We do not state the plastic used in the pod or the dimensions of the mouthpiece, because the listing does not, and we would rather leave a gap than fill it with a guess. What we can say is that spare pods are inexpensive enough to keep one or two on hand. If you also need spares for other items, our vape accessories and refillable vape pods collections cover the wider range.

If a pod arrives damaged or defective, do not use it. Take photos and contact us. Our returns policy for faulty items is covered in the final section of this guide.

Coil and resistance: understanding the 0.8ohm option

The coil inside the pod is the heating element that turns e-liquid into vapour. Its resistance, measured in ohms, tells you a lot about how the pod will behave. Our product family includes a 0.8ohm option, so here is what that figure means in plain terms.

Resistance is the coil's opposition to electric current. Lower resistance lets more current flow at a given voltage, which produces more heat and more vapour. Higher resistance produces less. A rough picture of the common bands:

• Around 1.0ohm and above: tight, restricted draw, lower power, often used with higher-strength nicotine salts
• Around 0.6 to 0.9ohm: a middle ground, with a slightly more open draw and a bit more vapour
• Below 0.5ohm: open, high-power, usually for larger cloud-oriented devices

The 0.8ohm option sits in that middle band. As an illustration only, if a device passed the battery voltage straight to the coil, the power would work out at roughly 17 watts at 3.7 volts and about 22 watts at 4.2 volts (power equals voltage squared divided by resistance). Many pod devices regulate their output, so the true figure depends on your device. The point is simply that 0.8ohm is a moderate load, not a very low one, and it is why this resistance is a popular compromise.

Coil material and construction also matter. Mesh coils spread heating over a larger surface and are generally associated with even flavour, while standard wire coils tend to be simpler and quicker to heat. The listing does not say which this pod uses, so we do not claim either. The resistance, however, is stated for the 0.8ohm option, and it is the figure you should use when matching the pod to your preferred style.

Signs the coil is wearing out:

• A burnt or acrid taste that does not clear after a fresh fill and a short rest
• Flavour that has gradually flattened over days of use
• Vapour that has thinned even though the pod still contains liquid
• A gurgling or crackling sound that returns after refilling

There is no universal lifespan for a coil. The right guide is taste. When it declines and a clean refill does not restore it, replace the pod. Sweet or heavily flavoured liquids and chain vaping shorten coil life, while menthol, tobacco and light fruit liquids tend to treat a coil more gently.

If your device uses screw-in or plug-in coils rather than a pod with an integrated coil, look at our replacement coils range, but remember that coils are device-specific too. For instance, the Aspire POCKEX replacement coils are made for the Aspire POCKEX and are no use in a pod system like this one.

Nicotine strength guidance and UK limits

Because these pods are listed without a nicotine strength (0mg), the nicotine you vape comes entirely from the e-liquid you put in. That gives you control, but it also means you should understand the UK rules and choose sensibly. Nicotine is addictive, products containing it are for adults aged 18 and over only, and they are not intended for non-smokers.

The rules that shape what you can buy and fill with in the UK:

• 20mg/ml nicotine cap: UK law limits the nicotine strength of e-liquid to a maximum of 20mg/ml. That cap applies to the liquid you buy for a pod just as it does to prefilled pods and disposables.
• 10ml bottle limit: nicotine e-liquid in refillable bottles is capped at 10ml. Larger bottles, such as 50ml and 100ml shortfills, are sold as nicotine-free liquid with room to add nicotine shots.
• 2ml pod and tank limit: refillable pods and tanks cannot exceed 2ml.

With those limits in mind, here is a general framework for picking a strength. It is guidance for adult vapers, not medical advice.

• 0mg: no nicotine. Choose this if you vape for flavour alone. Our nicotine-free e-liquids collection covers it.
• 5mg: a low strength that suits occasional vapers or people who find higher strengths too strong at this resistance.
• 10mg: a common middle strength for nicotine salts, widely used by people who vape regularly and want a smooth hit.
• 20mg: the maximum allowed. Some adults who smoke heavily start here with nicotine salts. Browse 20mg e-liquids if that is your starting point, but be aware it is strong.

Nicotine salts versus freebase. Nicotine salts are smoother on the throat at higher strengths, which is why they dominate low-power pod devices. Freebase nicotine is harsher and is normally used at lower strengths, around 3 to 6mg, in higher-powered devices. With a 0.8ohm pod at moderate power, nic salts at 10mg or 20mg and thin blends are the typical match, though many people prefer 5mg or 10mg for steady, all-day vaping.

Practical rules of thumb:

• Start lower than you think you need. You can move up, but you cannot take nicotine back out.
• If you feel dizzy, nauseous or get a racing heartbeat, stop vaping and reduce your strength or take a break.
• Higher resistance pods and tight draws deliver nicotine more efficiently per puff, so you may need a lower strength than you expect.
• Do not treat nicotine strength as a status symbol. The right strength is the lowest one that feels satisfying.

Never offer nicotine products to anyone under 18 and keep all e-liquid, pods and devices out of reach of children and pets.

How to fit, fill and prime the pod

Fitting a replacement pod takes about a minute, and doing it carefully prevents most of the problems people report. These steps apply to the general pod-system routine. Always follow any specific instructions that come with your Imp Jar Select device if they differ.

• Step 1, prepare: wash and dry your hands, switch the device off if it has a power control, and unplug it from any charger.
• Step 2, remove the old pod: pull it out gently and set it upright. If it still contains liquid, do not squeeze it or tip it.
• Step 3, inspect the new pod: remove any protective film, caps or plugs from the mouthpiece and the base, and check the fill port and contacts as described earlier.
• Step 4, open the fill port: pull back or lift the silicone bung. Hold the pod upright while you do this.
• Step 5, fill slowly: place the bottle nozzle against the side of the fill port and squeeze gently so liquid runs down the inside wall of the reservoir. Stop at or below the fill line. Never fill the central airflow tube, and do not overfill, because flooding is the most common cause of leaks and gurgling.
• Step 6, close the port: press the bung fully home so it sits flush.
• Step 7, let it rest: stand the pod upright for around five to ten minutes. This lets the cotton wick saturate fully.
• Step 8, fit and prime: push the pod into the device until it seats. Take a few short, gentle draws without holding for long. If you press a button to fire, tap rather than hold.
• Step 9, settle in: vape at a relaxed pace for the first few minutes while the coil bonds with the liquid.

Some extra advice that makes a difference:

• Fill when the pod is nearly empty rather than topping up small amounts every few puffs. Topping up repeatedly invites air bubbles and flooding.
• Wipe away any spilled liquid from the outside of the pod and from the device contacts before you insert the pod.
• Do not mix different liquids in one pod. Finish or discard the contents first.
• Keep refills away from heat and sunlight, and always cap the bottle straight after use.

When it is time to change the pod, empty any remaining liquid carefully (a tissue to blot the mouthpiece works), then follow the recycling advice at the end of this guide. Do not put used pods in general waste or household recycling.

Troubleshooting leaks, gurgling, burnt taste and weak flavour

Most pod problems have simple causes and simple fixes. Work through this list before deciding a pod is faulty.

• The pod leaks: the usual causes are overfilling, a bung that is not fully seated, squeezing the reservoir, or a pod that has been stored on its side or in the heat. Wipe it clean, check the bung, refill to a lower level and keep it upright. If it keeps leaking with a correct fill, the seal may be defective.
• It gurgles or crackles: there is excess liquid in the airflow path. Blot the mouthpiece with a tissue, blow gently through it to clear the airflow, and fill a little lower next time.
• The first puffs taste burnt or dry: the coil has not saturated. Remove the pod, wait a few more minutes upright, then take short priming draws. Avoid long, hard pulls on a new pod.
• Taste has faded over days: the coil is wearing or fouled with residue from sweet liquid. A fresh pod is the solution.
• A burnt taste returns even with a full pod: either the coil is spent, or the liquid is too thick for the wick. Try a thinner blend, and replace the pod if the problem persists.
• The device does not fire or does not recognise the pod: remove the pod and check the contacts for liquid or dirt, then wipe gently with a dry cloth or cotton bud. Reseat the pod firmly. If the problem continues, charge the device fully, because a low battery can cause misfires.
• Liquid reaches your mouth: this is called spitback and usually means flooding or overly rapid draws. Reduce the fill level and slow down.
• The pod will not seat: it may be the wrong pod for your device, or the contacts may be dirty. Do not force it, and check the compatibility advice above.
• Sticky residue around the pod and device: this comes from small leaks or spills. Clean the device with a slightly damp cloth, dry it fully, and look for the source of the leak.

A general principle helps with diagnosis: change one thing at a time. If you swap the pod, the liquid and the fill level all at once, you will never know which one fixed the problem.

If you have checked the basics and still believe the pod is faulty, keep the packaging and contact our UK support team. Faulty items can be returned within 30 days for a replacement or refund, which we cover in the delivery and returns section below. Please note that for hygiene reasons we cannot accept returns on pods that have been opened and used where there is no fault.

Value for money and honest comparisons

At £4.75 per pod, Imp Jar Select Replacement Pods sit in the middle of the replacement-pod price range in our shop. Price is only part of the story with a refillable pod, though, so here is the full cost picture.

The delivery threshold. Standard UK delivery is free on orders over £20 and costs £2.99 below that. The numbers are worth working through:

• One pod: £4.75, plus £2.99 delivery, £7.74 in total
• Four pods: £19.00, plus £2.99 delivery, £21.99 in total
• Five pods: £23.75 with free delivery, which is £1.76 cheaper than buying four and paying for delivery

In other words, if you are buying four, adding a fifth pod or a bottle of e-liquid costs you less than the delivery charge would have.

Running cost. A 10ml nicotine salt bottle at around £2.89, such as Bar Juice 5000 Nic Salts Apple Peach, fills a 2ml pod at most five times, which works out at under 60p of liquid per fill. As an illustration only, if a pod lasted you 14 days (your own number will differ), the pod would cost about 34p a day, plus the liquid. That is a transparent way to calculate your cost per day and compare it with other formats.

How it compares on price with other replacement pods we stock. These are device-specific, so this is a price comparison and not a statement about interchangeability:

• Voopoo Ito replacement pods: £4.49
• SMOK Novo 2 replacement pods: £4.99
• Elf Bar Mate 500 refillable pods: £4.95
• Innokin VCAP replacement pods: £5.95
• SMOK Nord 2 RPM replacement pods: £5.95

On price alone, £4.75 is competitive, a little above the cheapest and below the dearer end. The honest takeaway is that the price differences between these pods are small, so the decision should rest on which device you own, not on saving a few pence.

Versus prefilled formats. Prefilled pods and kits give you convenience, since there is no filling and the strength is set for you. Refillable pods give you control of flavour and strength and usually a lower cost per day once you are buying liquid in 10ml bottles. If you prefer the grab-and-go approach, our prefilled vape pods are the alternative, and our disposable vapes collection suits people who want no maintenance at all. Neither is better in every case. They suit different habits.

Good value usually comes from a plan: one or two spare pods on hand, a bottle or two of a liquid you already know you like, and an order that clears the free delivery line.

Who these pods suit, plus delivery, returns and recycling

These pods suit:

• Adults (18+) who already own an Imp Jar Select device and need spare or replacement pods
• Adults who smoke or already vape and want to choose their own e-liquid and nicotine strength
• People who like the idea of a small, low-effort pod system with a moderate 0.8ohm coil option
• Anyone who wants to reduce waste by changing a pod rather than discarding a whole kit

You should skip them if:

• You do not own a compatible Imp Jar Select device. Look at our vape kits first
• You want a pre-filled, no-fuss product. Prefilled pods and kits are the better fit
• You have never smoked or vaped, or you are under 18. Nicotine products are not for you
• You want large clouds from a high-power device, since a pod system of this type is not built for that

Delivery. We offer tracked UK delivery on every order. Standard delivery is free over £20 and takes two to three working days, standard delivery under £20 costs £2.99, and next-day delivery is £4.99. Orders placed before 4pm Monday to Friday are dispatched the same day. Full details are on our delivery and returns page. As an age-restricted product, an adult 18 or over must be available to receive it, and you can read how we check age on our age verification page.

Returns and faulty items. For hygiene and safety reasons we cannot accept returns on opened e-liquids, disposables or pods. Faulty items can be returned within 30 days for a replacement or refund. Contact us to start a return and keep your packaging and proof of purchase to hand.

Recycling. Used pods contain a small coil and residual liquid, and the device contains a lithium battery, so none of it belongs in general waste or kerbside recycling. Take used pods and old devices to a vape recycling point. Many UK vape retailers, household waste recycling centres and local council schemes accept them, and larger shops that sell vapes are required to take back old electrical vaping products. Never put a damaged or swollen battery in a bin.

If you are ready to order, add the pods to your basket and check the delivery total. If you are not sure yet, explore the Imp Jar range or ask us a question first. We would rather you buy the right pod once than the wrong one twice.
