Uwell Viscore Pro Plus Prefilled Pod Kit: overview

The Uwell Viscore Pro Plus Prefilled Pod Kit is a rechargeable pocket device that takes sealed, prefilled pods of nicotine salt e-liquid. There is no bottle to open and no coil to prime by hand. You click a pod into the battery section, wait a moment, and draw. When a pod runs dry you take it out and fit a new one, and the same battery carries on. Uwell is a Shenzhen-based manufacturer that has made vaping hardware since the mid-2010s, and most UK vapers know it through the Caliburn refillable pod range. The Viscore Pro line takes a different route: it swaps the refilling routine for a closed pod system that is meant to be as simple to use as a disposable.

That difference matters in Britain. Single-use vapes have been banned from sale in Great Britain since 1 June 2025, and Northern Ireland follows its own rules. A rechargeable device with replaceable pods is not a single-use product, so it sits on the right side of that line, and it also creates far less waste than a sealed unit that is thrown away after a fortnight. For an adult smoker who liked the convenience of disposables, a prefilled pod kit is the closest legal format.

This page goes through what the kit does, where it is likely to disappoint, and who it suits. We have tried to be straight about the limits of what we can verify. Some figures that appear in the product naming, such as the headline puff rating, are manufacturer claims, and manufacturers revise components between production runs, so always check the packaging in your box against anything written here.

• Format: rechargeable battery device with sealed, prefilled, replaceable pods
• E-liquid: nicotine salt, with the pods in this range listed at 20mg/ml, the UK maximum
• Headline rating: sold under a 40K-class banner; treat this as a manufacturer rating, not a promise
• Draw style: mouth-to-lung (MTL), the tight, cigarette-like inhale
• Charging: by cable; the port type and charge time are printed on the pack
• Editions: several flavour and colour-named editions, with matching pods sold separately
• Age restriction: 18+ only, with age verification on order and on delivery

Vaping is not risk-free and is intended for adult smokers and existing vapers only. It is not for under-18s or for people who do not already use nicotine.

What is in the box and how the kit is sold

A prefilled pod kit is sold as a starter bundle: the battery device plus at least one pod in the flavour of the edition you choose. The Viscore Pro Plus is listed in a run of editions named Cherry, Watermelon, Strawberry, Raspberry, Lemon, Mint, Juicy, Yellow, Red and Blue. Pick the edition you want from the options on the product page and the kit arrives with a matching pod. The exact contents differ slightly between production runs, so treat the list below as what you can reasonably expect rather than a guarantee.

• The device: the rechargeable battery body with the pod seat and mouthpiece area
• A prefilled pod: filled with nicotine salt e-liquid in the edition flavour, sealed at the factory
• A charging cable: for topping up the built-in battery
• Paperwork: a quick-start leaflet and the legally required health warning and usage information

Open the box and check everything is present before you use it. If the pod is pre-installed, there may be a small protective cap or film over the mouthpiece or the airflow opening. Remove it before the first draw. Do not remove anything that appears to be part of the pod body, and do not pierce or open the pod.

Replacement pods are sold as separate products so you can keep the same battery for months and simply buy new pods. At the time of writing, the matching Viscore Pro Plus pods on our site are priced at £4.95 each, or three for £12 on the multi-buy, and they are listed at 20mg/ml. The pod range is wider than the kit editions, and includes flavours such as Fruit Mix, Mr Blue, Blueberry Cranberry Cherry, Red Apple Ice, Juicy Peach, Pineapple Ice, Fresh Mint, Lemon Mint, Pink Lemonade, Lemon and Lime, Blueberry Sour Raspberry and Blue Razz Lemonade. Having a pod range is the main practical difference between this kit and a disposable: you can change flavour without changing hardware.

One caution on the word refillable. A few retail listings tag prefilled kits loosely. The Viscore Pro Plus is designed around sealed prefilled pods, so we advise against trying to refill them. Doing so risks leaks, poor performance and a voided warranty, and it is not something the maker designs for. If you want to pour your own e-liquid, a refillable kit is the better choice, and there are good options in the Uwell Caliburn range.

Performance and puff delivery

Performance on a prefilled pod device is mostly about consistency. You are not choosing the coil, the liquid or the airflow, so the question is whether the pod gives a steady draw from the first pull to the last, and whether the battery keeps up. The Viscore Pro Plus is built as a mouth-to-lung device, which means a slow, fairly tight inhale into the mouth and then into the lungs, the way many people draw on a cigarette. It is not designed for large, airy clouds. If you want those, you need a sub-ohm kit, which is a different product.

On the first few draws you can expect a smooth, even hit that comes up quickly once you start pulling. Most pod systems are automatic, which means there is no button to press: the airflow sensor wakes the coil when you inhale. Keep the draw gentle and steady for two to three seconds. Hard, long drags heat the coil harder than the pod is designed for and can leave a flat or slightly burnt taste, especially late in the pod's life.

The headline number is the part that deserves a careful read. The kit is sold under a 40K-class banner, which on the face of it implies tens of thousands of puffs. We cannot verify that figure and we would rather say so than repeat it as fact. Puff ratings are produced by the manufacturer, usually on a machine that takes uniform draws, and they rarely match how a person actually vapes. As a sanity check, UK rules cap the capacity of a nicotine pod or tank at 2ml, and by the common rule of thumb of roughly 300 puffs per millilitre of e-liquid in MTL devices, a standard 2ml pod would point to something in the region of 600 draws. If the pack in your hand states a different liquid capacity or pod count, trust the pack over any rule of thumb.

The practical advice is to judge the kit by days per pod rather than puffs on the box. Count how many days your first pod lasts at your normal pace, then use that to plan how many pods to keep in stock. Most people find it takes two or three pods to learn their own rhythm.

• Draw feel: tight MTL, with a throat hit that depends on the strength you choose
• Activation: automatic, triggered by inhaling
• Consistency: best in the first two thirds of a pod, with the flavour thinning near the end
• Not suited to: big clouds, chain vaping or direct-to-lung inhaling

Flavour profile and the editions

Flavour is the main reason people pick one prefilled kit over another, so it is worth being specific about what we can and cannot tell you. The kit editions are named Cherry, Watermelon, Strawberry, Raspberry, Lemon and Mint, which are straightforward single-note descriptions, and Juicy, Yellow, Red and Blue, which are colour or mood names that do not spell out the taste. We do not guess at what those four taste like, and we would suggest checking the pack artwork or asking before you buy if flavour accuracy matters to you. Colour-coded names like this are common in the category, and they usually point to a fruit blend rather than a single fruit.

For the editions with plain names, here is the sort of profile you should expect from a nicotine salt prefilled pod:

• Cherry: a sweet, candy-style cherry rather than a tart fresh cherry, usually with a rounded finish
• Watermelon: a juicy, light fruit note that tends to read as sweet and slightly cooling
• Strawberry: a familiar sweet strawberry, often with a soft cream-free finish
• Raspberry: a bright, slightly sharp berry that sits somewhere between candy and fresh
• Lemon: a crisp citrus with some zing, closer to lemon sherbet than a baked lemon dessert
• Mint: a clean, cooling menthol-led flavour, and the safest pick for someone who dislikes sweetness

Beyond the kit editions, the pod range gives you a much wider palette, because each pod is a separate product. If you like cooling fruit, Red Apple Ice and Pineapple Ice pair the fruit with a menthol-style chill. For sweeter, drinks-inspired profiles, Pink Lemonade, Blue Razz Lemonade and Lemon and Lime are the obvious candidates. Blueberry Sour Raspberry and Blueberry Cranberry Cherry lean towards the berry end with a tangy edge. Fruit Mix and Mr Blue are the blended options for people who find a single fruit too one-note, and Fresh Mint and Lemon Mint cover the cooler, less sweet side.

Two general points on flavour with this type of device. First, nicotine salt liquids carry flavour well, but the sweetness builds up in the mouth during a long session, which is why many vapers switch between a sweet and a cooling pod across the week. Second, if a new pod tastes weak for the first few draws, give it a minute. The cotton needs to wick the liquid across before the flavour reaches full strength, and rushing it only dries the coil.

Design and build quality

The Viscore Pro Plus follows the form factor that most pod kits settle on: a slim, pocketable body with a pod that seats into the top and a mouthpiece that sits comfortably against the lips. Uwell has a good record on build quality in its Caliburn line, with tight pod fit and consistent finishes, and we would expect the Viscore range to follow the same engineering habits. We are, however, describing the category and the maker here rather than a lab test of each unit, so look at the photos on the product page for the exact shell and colour of each edition.

The colour-named editions, Yellow, Red and Blue, suggest that the shell is colour-matched to the flavour. That is a useful design detail if you keep a few kits around, because you can tell at a glance which flavour is which without opening anything. If you intend to carry one in a bag or a coat pocket, a plain matte finish is more forgiving than gloss, which shows scratches and fingerprints quickly.

Here is what to check when the kit arrives, since these are the points where small differences between units show up:

• Pod seat: the pod should click in firmly with no wobble, and should not come out when you tilt the device
• Mouthpiece: it should feel smooth with no moulding ridges, because a rough edge becomes annoying within a day
• Indicator light: it should light when you draw and when you plug in the cable, and behave consistently
• Weight and balance: a slim body that feels back-heavy is usually a sign of a larger battery
• Charging port: the cable should seat fully and not rattle in the socket

The weakest point of any small pod device is the connection between the pod and the battery contacts. Keep those contacts clean and dry, and avoid carrying the kit loose in a pocket with keys and coins. A pocket case or a small pouch costs a few pounds and does more for the life of the device than almost any other accessory.

Finally, the device is not waterproof. Rain, sweat and steam in a bathroom are all things to avoid. If the kit does get wet, dry the outside, leave the pod out for a while, and do not plug in the charger until you are sure the contacts are dry.

Battery and charging

The battery in a rechargeable pod kit is sealed inside the body, which means you charge the whole device rather than swapping cells. Capacity varies between models and between editions, and for devices in this class it typically falls somewhere between a few hundred and a little over a thousand milliamp-hours. We do not want to quote a single mAh figure as fact for the Viscore Pro Plus when it is printed on your box, so use the pack as the authority. What we can say is that a larger battery matters more on a long-life pod than on a small one, because a pod that lasts a week or more is only useful if the battery can keep up with it.

In everyday use, most vapers find that a built-in battery in this class gets through a full day of moderate use and needs a top-up overnight. Heavier use, such as a puff every few minutes, can drain it faster. It helps to charge the device when it is part way down rather than waiting until it is completely flat, because lithium-ion cells are happier with regular partial charges than with repeated deep discharges.

Charging is by cable. Please follow the sensible rules for any rechargeable device:

• Use a quality cable and a standard 5V adapter or computer port: avoid unbranded fast chargers that can exceed what the device is built for
• Do not leave it charging unattended: especially overnight on a bed or sofa
• Keep it away from heat: a hot car or a window sill in summer is a poor place for any lithium battery
• Stop using a damaged device: swelling, a hot casing during use or a persistent smell are reasons to stop and recycle it
• Do not use it while charging: let it finish first

The indicator light usually tells you the charge state by colour or by pattern, but the exact code varies by model, so check the leaflet. A light that blinks on draw usually means low battery. A light that flashes rapidly and refuses to fire commonly points to a connection problem with the pod, which we cover in the troubleshooting section.

Batteries are the main reason vapes must never go into household bins or kerbside recycling. In the UK a vape with a built-in battery is waste electrical equipment. Take it to a shop that offers take-back, a supermarket collection point or your local household waste recycling centre. The battery stays inside, because it is not designed to be removed.

Coil and pod technology

In a prefilled pod system the coil is part of the pod. It is installed in the factory, wicked and filled before it leaves the production line. That removes the common beginner mistakes, such as flooding the coil or running it dry, and it explains why a pod can be fitted and used straight away. The trade-off is that you cannot adjust the coil resistance or change the cotton, and the pod is the consumable that wears out.

Pods of this kind normally use either a ceramic coil or a mesh coil. Mesh coils have become the dominant choice because the flat, wide heating surface warms the liquid more evenly than a round wire coil and tends to give better flavour with less risk of hot spots. We are describing the type used across this category rather than quoting a coil specification for the Viscore Pro Plus, and the pack or the maker's own documentation is the place to confirm the exact resistance and construction. What is safe to say is that the system is designed for nicotine salt e-liquid at a moderate wattage, and it is tuned for MTL inhaling.

Why salt nicotine matters here. Nicotine salts are formulated with an added acid, which lowers the harshness of the throat hit, so 20mg/ml feels smoother in a salt than it would in a traditional freebase liquid. This is what lets a small, low-power device deliver an effective dose without needing a high wattage. It also means the pod is not a good place to try different liquids, even if you could open it.

• Automatic firing: a sensor detects the draw, so there is no button to hold
• Wicking: cotton moves the liquid from the pod reservoir to the coil, and needs a short rest after fitting
• Leak control: the pod is sealed except for the airflow path and the mouthpiece
• Wear: the coil is the part that ages, which is why flavour fades towards the end of a pod

A practical tip. If a pod has been in your bag for a while, give it a minute upright before the first draw. If you take a long break between sessions, do a couple of short, light draws before a full inhale. This reduces the risk of a dry, burnt first pull and keeps the cotton evenly wet, which is the single biggest factor in how long a coil lasts.

Nicotine strength guidance for UK vapers

The maximum nicotine strength for any e-liquid sold in the UK is 20mg/ml, which is the same figure you will see on labels as 2%. The pods in the Viscore Pro Plus range on our site are listed at 20mg/ml. That is the legal ceiling, and in a nicotine salt it is a strong strength, so it is worth thinking about whether it suits you before you order.

The way to choose is to look at what you do now. As a rough guide:

• Heavy smokers, about 15 or more cigarettes a day: 20mg salt is the usual starting point, because a lower strength may leave you reaching for the device constantly
• Moderate smokers, about 8 to 15 a day: 20mg is workable but can feel strong, and some people prefer to take shorter, lighter draws
• Light smokers, fewer than 8 a day, and anyone who does not smoke: 20mg is likely to be too much, and a lower-strength option would suit better

If the strength is too high, you will usually notice it quickly. Common signs are a harsh throat hit, light-headedness, nausea, a racing heart or a headache. If any of these happen, stop and take a break. If you are a lighter user and 20mg is the only strength on the shelf, you may be better served by a refillable kit where you can pick 10mg or 12mg liquid.

If the strength is too low, you will find yourself drawing more often, going through pods quickly and still feeling craving. Over-vaping a low-strength liquid is the most common reason people say a device does not work for them. Do not simply double your draws. Move to a higher strength, which for this range means 20mg, or consider whether a different format would suit you better.

Two points of honesty. First, nicotine is addictive, and a 20mg salt can deliver it quickly. Anyone who does not currently use nicotine should not start with this product. Second, anyone who is pregnant, has a heart condition or is on medication should talk to a pharmacist or GP before using any nicotine product. Local stop-smoking services across the UK offer free support, and many provide advice on how to step down in strength over time.

Who the Viscore Pro Plus is for, and who should skip it

A kit like this works best for a particular type of person, and it is a poor fit for others. Here is how we would sort it out.

The Viscore Pro Plus is likely to suit:

• Adult smokers who want a simple switch: there is nothing to fill, no coil to choose and no settings to learn
• Former disposable users: the way it works, draw and go, is the same as what you are used to, now in a rechargeable form
• People who value variety: because pods are sold separately, you can change flavour without changing the device
• Vapers who want to keep costs predictable: you know what each pod costs, and you can stock up on a multi-buy
• People who dislike mess: a sealed pod avoids the leaks and sticky fingers of a bottle refill

You may want to skip it if any of these apply:

• You want big clouds or a loose, airy draw: this is an MTL device, and sub-ohm kits suit you better
• You want to choose a lower nicotine strength: the pods listed here are 20mg, so a refillable kit with a wider choice of liquids is a better match
• You like to tinker: there are no adjustable settings, coil swaps or custom liquids
• You never smoked and do not use nicotine: there is no benefit in starting, and this product is not for you
• You are under 18: it is illegal to sell nicotine products to anyone under that age, and age checks apply
• You want the lowest possible running cost: pods are more expensive per millilitre than a bottle of e-liquid, and a refillable kit is cheaper to run if you are willing to refill

If you are not sure, it is worth thinking about how you plan to use it. If you will carry it in a pocket and use it in short bursts through the day, a prefilled kit is a good match. If you vape for long sessions at a desk or at home, a larger, refillable device with a bigger battery might suit you better and cost less over a year.

How to set up and use the kit

Setting up the Viscore Pro Plus is quick, and most of the work is in the first charge. These steps cover the usual routine for a prefilled pod device. The leaflet in your box takes priority if anything differs.

• Check the contents: make sure the device, the pod and the cable are all in the box and that nothing looks damaged
• Charge first: plug the device in and let it charge fully before the first use. A full first charge is good practice for any new lithium battery
• Remove any protective cap or film: look over the mouthpiece and the base of the pod for a small seal or cover and remove it
• Fit the pod: push it into the pod seat until it clicks, with the contacts lined up
• Wait a minute: let the liquid reach the coil, particularly if the pod has been stored on its side
• Take a few light draws: begin with short, gentle pulls and then settle into a steady two to three second draw

There is usually no on or off button. Some devices have a click sequence to lock the unit, and the leaflet will tell you if this one does. If you carry the device in a bag, keep it in a case so the sensor cannot be triggered accidentally.

Day to day, a few habits make a real difference to the life of a pod. Draw gently. Do not chain vape for minutes at a time, because it heats the coil and can burn the cotton. Store the device upright when you can. And when the flavour fades or the draw turns harsh, change the pod instead of pushing for one more day.

Changing a pod is straightforward. Pull the old one out, dispose of it correctly, and push the new one in until it seats. You do not need to clean the device, but a dry cotton bud or a soft cloth wiped across the pod seat now and then keeps the contacts working well.

Looking after the kit and disposing of used pods. Pods contain a small amount of residual e-liquid and sometimes a metal coil, so they are classed as electrical waste in the UK. Do not put them in household rubbish or the kerbside recycling bin. Used pods and finished devices can be handed in at vape shops that offer take-back, at many supermarket collection points and at household waste recycling centres. Store spare pods away from heat and out of reach of children and pets.

Troubleshooting common problems

Most problems with prefilled pod kits have a quick fix. Work through these in order before you assume the device is faulty.

The device does not fire, or the light flashes when you draw. The first cause is nearly always the pod seat. Take the pod out, check that nothing is blocking the contacts, and push it back in until it clicks. Next, check that the protective cap or film has been removed. Finally, charge the device, because a low battery can stop it firing even when the light still blinks. If a different pod works and the first one does not, the original pod is the fault.

The flavour is weak or flat. Give a new pod a minute to wick. If the pod has been in use for a while, the coil may be nearing the end of its life, and flavour fading is the normal sign. A sweet flavour can also cause taste fatigue, so try a cooling or mint pod for a day and then go back.

A burnt or dry taste. This usually means the coil has run short of liquid. It happens when you draw too hard or too often, when the pod is nearly empty, or when the cotton has not had time to wet. Stop using the pod once it tastes burnt, because continuing will not recover it and may cause irritation.

Leaking or gurgling. Condensation in the airflow path can cause a little gurgling, which is normal and can be cleared by blowing gently through the mouthpiece with the device off. Actual leaking is more likely if the device has been left on its side in a warm place or squeezed in a pocket. Wipe the pod and the contacts with a dry tissue and store the kit upright.

The battery will not charge. Try another cable and another power source. Clean the charging port gently with a dry cotton bud. Avoid forcing the connector or using a damaged cable. If it still does not charge, stop using the device and contact us.

The device gets warm. Slight warmth during use or charging is normal. A casing that is too hot to hold, a swollen body or a chemical smell is not. Unplug the device, move it away from anything flammable, and do not use it again.

• Quick checklist: pod seated, cap removed, battery charged, contacts dry, pod not empty
• Keep your order number: it makes any warranty or returns query faster to deal with
• Photos help: if something looks faulty, a clear photo of the device and the pod speeds things up

Value for money and how it compares with rivals

Value on a pod system comes down to two numbers: what you pay for the device, and what you pay each time you change the pod. At the time of writing, the Viscore Pro Plus kit lists at £10.95, with matching pods at £4.95 each or three for £12. Those figures can change, so check the current prices on the product page.

A simple way to work out the real cost is to count days per pod. If a pod lasts you four days, a single pod works out at just under £1.25 a day, and on the three-for-£12 offer it is £1.00 a day. If a pod lasts only two days, those figures become roughly £2.48 and £2.00 respectively. For comparison, a pack of 20 cigarettes in the UK now costs well over fifteen pounds, so even at the higher end of daily pod cost, many smokers who switch spend noticeably less. The saving is largest for heavy smokers.

Where the value is weaker is against refillable kits. A bottle of nicotine salt e-liquid costs far less per millilitre than a prefilled pod, so a person who is happy to refill will spend less over a year. What you pay extra for with a prefilled kit is convenience, consistency and a tidy hands-off routine.

Here is how the Viscore Pro Plus sits against some familiar alternatives. We have tried to be fair, because each has strengths.

• Elf Bar Elfa and similar prefilled pod kits: a close rival in format, with small sealed pods that are swapped when empty. They are widely stocked and easy to find. The Viscore range is positioned as the longer-life option, though as noted above you should judge by days per pod rather than the number on the box.
• Vaporesso XROS series: a popular replaceable-pod range that is also available in refillable form. It gives more flexibility in liquid choice and tends to cost less to run, in exchange for a little more routine.
• SMOK Novo series: a long-running pod family with a wide pod supply. Better if you want to refill and shop around for liquids.
• Uwell Caliburn range: from the same maker, this is the refillable alternative. It suits someone who wants lower nicotine choices and cheaper running costs, and does not mind filling a pod.
• Old-style disposables: these can no longer be sold in Great Britain, so the comparison is largely historic. The kit does what they did, with less waste.

Our view: the Viscore Pro Plus is a reasonable choice if you want a no-fuss, prefilled system and are happy with 20mg. If you want to cut running costs or control your strength, a refillable kit is the sensible alternative. Whichever you pick, it is a better use of money than going back to cigarettes.
