Overview: Suonon Pro X 12K Refill Pods in Strawberry Kiwi

The Suonon Pro X 12K Refill Pods in Strawberry Kiwi are replacement pre-filled pods for the Suonon Pro X pod system. You keep the rechargeable device and swap in a fresh pod when the liquid runs out, instead of throwing away a whole vape every few days. This page covers the pod only, so you need a compatible Suonon Pro X device to use it. If you are not sure whether yours is a match, check the model name on the base of the device or on its box before you order.

The flavour is Strawberry Kiwi, a fruit pairing that has been a regular in the UK vape market for years. The idea is simple: sweet, ripe strawberry at the front, with the tart, slightly green character of kiwi running through it so the sweetness does not turn heavy or syrupy. It belongs to the juicy fruit group rather than the dessert or menthol groups, and it suits adults who want something bright and easy to vape through the day without a strong cooling hit.

Some context helps here. Single-use vapes were banned from sale in England, Scotland and Wales from 1 June 2025, and Northern Ireland is dealing with the issue under its own rules. That change pushed most UK adult vapers towards refillable and pod-based devices, because a rechargeable battery that lasts for months is a more sensible design than a sealed unit that is binned after one use. A pod system sits in the middle: you do not fill anything yourself, you do not change coils, but the part that runs out is a small consumable rather than a complete device.

Before going further, a few plain points that apply to every nicotine product. These pods are for adults aged 18 or over who currently smoke or already vape. Nicotine is addictive. If you have never smoked or vaped, this is not a product to start with. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or you have a heart condition, speak to your doctor or a stop smoking adviser before using nicotine in any form.

The rest of this page walks through the specification, real-world puff delivery, the flavour, how the pod is built, the coil, nicotine strengths, who it suits, how to use it, what to do when it misbehaves, and how it compares on value with other ways of vaping. We try to be straight about what the numbers on the packaging do and do not mean, because that is where most disappointment comes from.

Specifications at a glance

Specification sheets on vape packaging can be vague, so here is what we can say with reasonable confidence about this pod, and where you should check the printed pack rather than rely on an assumed figure.

• Product type: pre-filled, replaceable pod for the Suonon Pro X system. It is a closed pod, which means you do not refill it yourself.
• Flavour: Strawberry Kiwi.
• Headline puff rating: 12K, the 12,000-puff figure used in the name of the range. It is a manufacturer rating, not a guarantee for one pod.
• E-liquid capacity: UK rules cap the size of a pod or tank at 2ml, so a pod made for the UK market should hold no more than 2ml. The exact figure is printed on the pod or pack.
• Nicotine strength: the UK maximum is 20mg/ml (2%). That is the same ceiling that applied to disposable vapes, and it applies to pre-filled pods too. Lower strengths are normally offered across the range, so make sure the strength on the pack matches the option you selected.
• Coil: pods in this class normally use a mesh coil rather than a simple round-wire coil, which helps flavour stay consistent through the life of the pod.
• Battery: lives in the device, not in the pod. Pod-system batteries of this type are usually in the region of 500 to 1000mAh and charge over USB-C, but confirm the figure for your own device rather than assuming.
• Activation: draw-activated, so there is no firing button to press.
• Age restriction: 18+ only. Age is checked at order and may be checked again on delivery.

Two things are worth pointing out about this list. First, the 12K figure and the 2ml UK capacity limit do not obviously line up, and we explain that in the next section. Second, we have deliberately written the battery and resistance figures as ranges. The pod does not contain a battery, and the exact electrical values depend on the specific device and pod revision you receive. If you need a precise number for a particular reason, the printed pack and the device guide are the authority, not a product web page.

The pod is a consumable item. It is not designed to be opened, topped up or modified, and it is not a toy or a novelty. Keep it out of reach of children and pets, because nicotine liquid is harmful if swallowed or if it gets on skin or in eyes.

Performance and puff delivery

Start with the headline: 12K means 12,000 puffs on paper. Puff counts on vape packaging come from machine testing at a fixed draw length and rhythm, and a machine does not know how you actually vape. Treat the number as a rough way to compare products in the same class, not as a promise about how long your own pod will last.

Here is the honest arithmetic. A mesh-coil pod commonly delivers somewhere in the region of 500 to 800 puffs from every 2ml of liquid, depending on the power setting and how long each draw is. Since 2ml is the largest pod capacity allowed on the UK market, a single UK-specification pod cannot physically reach 12,000 puffs. The 12K in the name is better read as the headline rating of the Pro X range, and the number to plan around for one pod is the per-pod figure printed on the pack. We would rather say this plainly than let you assume a pod will last for months.

What you can reasonably expect in daily use, assuming a pod around the middle of that range at roughly 600 puffs:

• Light use (a few draws spread through the day, around 100 to 150 puffs): a pod may last four to six days.
• Moderate use (around 250 to 350 puffs a day): expect roughly two days per pod.
• Heavy use (chain vaping, 500 puffs or more a day): a pod may be gone inside a day and a half.

If the pack states a higher per-pod number you will get proportionally more. Long, slow draws use liquid faster than short sips, and a higher nicotine strength tends to be vaped less often because it satisfies sooner, so the strength you choose also changes how quickly a pod disappears.

Vapour delivery should feel steady. A mesh coil heats across a larger surface than a simple wire, so vapour production is even from the first draw, and the throat hit at 20mg/ml with nicotine salts is smooth rather than scratchy. Because the device is draw-activated, the response is immediate and there is no button to hold. Vapour volume is moderate rather than cloud-chasing, which suits a discreet, pocket-sized system.

The point where performance changes is when the pod runs low. As the liquid level drops, the cotton has less to draw on, vapour thins out and the flavour can turn slightly harsh or papery. That is the signal to swap the pod. Pushing on with an almost empty pod risks a burnt taste that can linger and spoil the first few draws of the next one.

Flavour profile: Strawberry Kiwi

Strawberry Kiwi is one of those flavours where the name tells you what to expect, and the interest lies in how the two fruits are balanced. Here is how it usually unfolds across a single draw.

• On the inhale: a sweet, jammy strawberry note arrives first. It leans towards ripe summer strawberry rather than candy or artificial strawberry sweets, which keeps it from tasting flat.
• In the middle: the kiwi comes through as a tangy, slightly green and juicy note. Kiwi has a recognisable sharpness with a faint sour edge, and it is this that stops the flavour becoming cloying.
• On the exhale: a lingering fruit sweetness with a clean finish. Expect a gentle tartness at the back of the tongue rather than a heavy aftertaste.

On sweetness, expect the medium-to-high end of the scale. This is a fruit flavour built to be easy to vape, not a subtle one. If you are coming from tobacco or a plain menthol, the first few draws may feel very sweet, and that usually settles within a day or two as your palate adjusts.

Does it have a cooling element? The name does not say so, and we do not want to promise an icy finish that the pack may not carry. Some strawberry and kiwi flavours across the market include a light menthol note, others do not, so read the pack description for your own pod. If you like a cooling effect, consider pairing this pod with an iced option from the same range and switching between them.

Who tends to like it? People who enjoy fruit flavours that are juicy rather than syrupy, people who find pure berry blends a little heavy, and anyone who wants a flavour that works equally well at the start of the day and in the evening. People who prefer dessert, bakery or tobacco profiles are unlikely to be won over, and that is fine.

Flavour fatigue is the genuine weakness of any single-note fruit pod. Many vapers notice that after a week or two on the same flavour the taste seems to fade, even though the pod is working normally. This is often called vaper's tongue. If it happens, the simplest cure is to switch to a different flavour for a few days, drink plenty of water and avoid vaping straight after strong coffee, which dulls taste. Rotating two or three flavours across the week often keeps things fresh and costs nothing extra if you were going to buy several pods anyway.

Finally, consistency. A good mesh-coil pod delivers the same taste from the first draw to the last. If the flavour is noticeably weaker after the first day, check that the pod is seated properly and that you are not chain vaping, because both reduce flavour more than the liquid itself does.

Design and build quality

The pod is a small moulded plastic cartridge. Pods of this type generally have a clear or tinted window so you can see the liquid level, a moulded mouthpiece at the top, and metal contacts or a magnetic connection at the base that link it to the battery section of the device. The pod does not hold a battery of its own, which keeps it light and means the part you throw away contains no lithium cell.

For a consumable, what matters is how well it is sealed and how securely it seats. When you take a pod out of its packaging, look for these points:

• The mouthpiece and the base airflow opening may be covered by small plastic plugs or stickers. Remove them before use, otherwise the pod will not draw.
• The pod should click or seat firmly into the device. If it rocks or feels loose, remove it and reseat it. A poor connection is the most common reason for a pod not firing.
• The liquid window should show a clean fill with no obvious leakage around the base or mouthpiece. A trace of condensation on the outside is normal; a wet pod is not.

On build quality, the honest summary is that plastic pods are made to be affordable, not indestructible. They cope well with an ordinary pocket or bag, but they do not enjoy being squeezed, dropped onto hard floors or carried loose in a pocket alongside keys. If you carry spares, keep them in their original packaging or a small case, and store them upright whenever possible so the liquid stays in contact with the cotton and does not pool at the wrong end.

Temperature matters too. Leaving a pod on a sunny windowsill or in a hot car can thin the liquid and push it out through the airflow channel, which causes leaks. Leaving one somewhere very cold makes the liquid thick and slow to reach the coil, so the first draws can taste weak. Room temperature is the sensible default.

The device that the pod fits into is compact and designed to slip into a trouser pocket or a small bag. Finishes and colours differ by model, so use the product listing for the device itself if appearance matters to you. What you should expect from the pod is a tidy fit, no rattling and an airflow that feels smooth rather than whistling or restricted.

One more design point is end of life. Because the pod is a sealed plastic unit with a coil and a residue of nicotine liquid inside, it is not general household waste. Do not put it in the ordinary bin or the kerbside recycling box. UK shops that sell vapes are expected to accept used vapes for recycling, and many have a collection bin by the till. Your local household waste recycling centre may take them as well, and the Recycle Your Electricals postcode search will show the nearest drop-off point.

Battery and charging

The pod has no battery. The power comes from the rechargeable lithium-ion cell inside the Suonon Pro X device. Devices of this kind generally carry a battery somewhere between 500 and 1000mAh and recharge over USB-C, but the exact figure belongs to the device you own, so check its specification instead of assuming.

As a rule of thumb, manufacturers balance battery capacity against pod capacity so that one full charge covers a good portion of one pod. Many users find they recharge about once per pod, or once every second pod, depending on how heavily they vape. Treat that as a guideline rather than a measured result.

Sensible charging habits make the battery last longer and keep it safe:

• Use a standard 5V USB charger with a reasonable output, such as a phone charger or a computer USB port, with a good-quality USB-C cable. Avoid unbranded chargers of unknown origin.
• Do not leave the device charging unattended or overnight on a bed, sofa or other soft surface.
• Charge at normal room temperature. Do not leave it in a hot car or in direct sunlight, and do not charge it straight after it has been somewhere very cold; let it warm up first.
• Unplug once the indicator shows the battery is full. You do not need to wait for the battery to run flat before charging, and topping up as you go is fine.
• Many pod devices will not fire while charging, so do not be surprised if you cannot vape until you unplug it.

Know the warning signs of a failing battery. If the device becomes unusually hot, smells of burning, swells, changes shape or leaks, stop using it, unplug it, put it somewhere safe away from anything flammable and arrange to recycle it. Do not keep using a device that shows any of those symptoms.

When the battery does reach the end of its life, which is usually after a year or more of regular use, the whole device needs to go to proper electrical recycling because it contains a lithium cell. Never put a vape device in the bin: lithium batteries crushed in refuse lorries and sorting plants are a recognised fire risk. The same drop-off points apply as for pods, including the till-side bins in vape shops and household waste recycling centres.

A practical tip: if the device seems to drain far faster than it used to, try a different cable and charger before assuming the battery is faulty. Worn cables and weak chargers cause more charging problems than failed cells do.

Coil and mesh technology

Inside the pod sits a coil: a heating element pressed against an absorbent cotton wick. When you draw, the device sends current to the coil, the coil heats, and the liquid held in the cotton turns into vapour. In this class of pod the coil is normally a mesh coil, and it is worth understanding why, because it affects both how the pod tastes and how you should use it.

A traditional round-wire coil is a thin wire wound into a spiral. A mesh coil is a flat sheet of fine metal with a grid of tiny holes, usually rolled or folded against the cotton. The differences in practice are:

• Larger heating area: the mesh makes contact with far more of the cotton, so heat is spread evenly. That tends to give a smoother, more consistent flavour rather than hot spots.
• Faster ramp-up: a mesh coil reaches vaping temperature quickly, so the first draw after a pause is not noticeably weaker.
• Better flavour definition: in a two-fruit blend like strawberry and kiwi, the sweet and tart notes stay distinct instead of blurring into one general fruitiness.
• Steady vapour: output stays fairly level through the pod, until the liquid runs low.

The trade-offs are worth knowing. A mesh coil uses liquid a little faster than a low-power wire coil, because it is more efficient at producing vapour. It also copes less well with chain vaping. If you take long strings of puffs with no pause, the cotton cannot re-wet quickly enough and the coil can begin to dry out, which causes a harsh or burnt taste. Pausing for ten to fifteen seconds between long strings of draws gives the wick time to catch up.

Resistance values for pods of this type are generally in the region of one ohm, give or take, but the exact figure is not something you need to manage. The device sets the output for you, and you cannot adjust it on a closed pod system. That is part of the appeal: nothing to tune, nothing to rebuild.

Coil life matches pod life. Because the coil is sealed inside the pod, you replace it every time you replace the pod, so you never face the slow flavour decline that comes from running an old coil in a refillable tank. That is a genuine advantage for people who do not want to learn coil maintenance, and it is one reason pod systems suit new vapers moving over from smoking.

One caution about priming. A new pod has dry cotton until the liquid has soaked in. If you fire it immediately, you risk burning the wick and ruining the pod. Let a new pod sit upright for a minute or so before the first draw, and take the first couple of puffs gently.

Nicotine strength guidance

In the UK, nicotine liquid sold in vaping products is capped at 20mg/ml, which is 2%. That cap applied to disposable vapes before they were banned, and it applies to pre-filled pods and bottled e-liquid today. You will not find a legal UK product with a higher strength, so if you see one offered, treat it with suspicion. The strengths available for this pod depend on the options shown on the product listing; always check that the strength printed on the pack matches the one you selected.

The right strength is the one that stops you wanting to reach for a cigarette without making you feel unwell. As a rough starting point:

• 20mg/ml: suits adults who smoke around ten or more cigarettes a day, or who have tried lower strengths and found they did not satisfy. Most pod systems use nicotine salts at this strength, which feel smoother on the throat than traditional freebase nicotine.
• 10mg/ml: suits lighter smokers, people who smoke around five to ten a day, or those stepping down from 20mg who want a gentler throat hit.
• 5mg/ml and lower: suits people who are cutting down further, or who vape heavily and find higher strengths too intense.

Nicotine intake depends on how much you vape as well as the strength. A pod at 20mg/ml used heavily delivers far more nicotine than the same pod used lightly, and a low-strength pod vaped constantly can add up as well. If you find yourself chain vaping a low-strength pod all day, your body may be telling you to move up one step. Equally, if you notice you are vaping more than you ever smoked, it may be worth discussing it with a stop smoking adviser.

Signs that a strength is too high include dizziness, nausea, headaches, a racing heart or a very harsh throat hit. If you feel any of these, stop, get some fresh air and drink water. Signs that it is too low include constant cravings, vaping much more than planned and returning to cigarettes. Neither is a failure; it simply means the strength needs adjusting.

If your aim is to quit smoking altogether, many people find it helpful to start at a strength that fully replaces their cigarettes, stay there for a few weeks until the habit is established, and then step down gradually. NHS stop smoking services in your area can help with a plan and, in many cases, with free or subsidised support. The aim of vaping for a smoker is to move away from tobacco; the aim of a vaper who has already quit is to lower nicotine over time, if they want to.

Who these pods are for, and who should skip them

These pods suit a fairly specific group of adults, and it is better to be clear about it than to sell them to everyone.

They are a good fit for:

• Adult smokers who want a simple, low-maintenance way to switch from cigarettes, with no tank filling and no coil changes.
• Existing vapers who already own a Suonon Pro X device and want a fruit flavour to rotate with others.
• People who like a juicy, slightly tart fruit profile and find purely sweet blends too heavy.
• Anyone who values a pocket-sized system for use outside the house, at work breaks or when travelling.
• Former disposable users who want something closer to what they are used to, but with a rechargeable device and lower waste.

They are not a good fit for:

• Anyone under 18. It is illegal to sell nicotine vaping products to under-18s in the UK, and it is illegal to buy them on behalf of an under-18.
• Non-smokers and people who have never vaped. Nicotine is addictive and there is no reason to start.
• Anyone who is pregnant or breastfeeding. Speak to your midwife, doctor or a stop smoking adviser about approved routes to quit.
• People who do not own a compatible Pro X device. The pod does not work on its own and is not interchangeable with other brands.
• Heavy vapers who go through several millilitres a day. At 2ml per pod, the running cost and the number of pods will add up fast, and a refillable kit with bottled liquid will normally suit you better.
• People who want large clouds or a very strong menthol or ice hit. A small pod system is built for convenience, not for vapour volume.

If you have a heart condition, high blood pressure, diabetes, epilepsy or take regular medication, speak to your doctor before using any nicotine product. If you are using a stop smoking medicine such as patches or gum alongside vaping, ask your pharmacist how to avoid taking in more nicotine than intended.

Finally, think about whether pods suit your lifestyle. A pod system works best if you vape in short bursts through the day and charge the device at night or at your desk. If you tend to forget to charge things, or you work shifts and cannot stop to swap a pod, consider carrying a spare pod and a short charging cable so you are never caught out.

How to use the pods

Using a closed pod is straightforward, but a few habits make a real difference to flavour, leaks and pod life. Here are the steps in order.

• Step 1: Check the device. Make sure your Pro X device is charged. A low battery gives weak vapour and can make a good pod seem faulty.
• Step 2: Unwrap the pod. Remove the outer packaging and any plugs or stickers covering the mouthpiece and the airflow opening. Keep the packaging, because it carries the batch details and strength information.
• Step 3: Fit the pod. Push the pod firmly into the device until it seats with a click, or until the magnets pull it into place. Do not force it if it feels wrong; remove it and try again.
• Step 4: Let it prime. Leave the device upright for 30 to 60 seconds so the liquid soaks into the cotton.
• Step 5: Start gently. Take two or three short, easy draws before settling into your normal rhythm. Draw slowly for about two to three seconds. The device fires as you inhale.
• Step 6: Pace yourself. Leave a pause between longer strings of puffs so the coil does not dry out.
• Step 7: Store it sensibly. Keep the device upright where possible, away from heat and sunlight, and out of the reach of children and pets.
• Step 8: Swap when empty. When the vapour thins and the taste turns harsh, remove the pod, fit a new one and dispose of the old one properly.

A word on inhaling style. Pod systems like this are designed for a mouth-to-lung draw, which means you draw the vapour into your mouth first, pause briefly, then breathe it in. That is the closest match to how a cigarette is smoked and it suits nicotine salts at 10 to 20mg/ml. Taking a huge direct lung inhale on a high-strength pod is more likely to cause coughing and dizziness.

Swapping flavours is easy. Remove the pod, store it upright in a cool place with the mouthpiece cap or plug back on if you still have it, fit the new pod and allow a minute to prime. The first few puffs of the new flavour may carry a trace of the previous one, which clears quickly.

Do not attempt to refill the pod. Closed pods are sealed during manufacture, and opening them risks damaging the coil, causing leaks and exposing you to nicotine liquid. If the pod is empty, replace it. Used pods go to a vape recycling drop-off point, not the household bin.

Troubleshooting common problems

Most problems with pods are small and fixable. Work through the likely causes in order before assuming the product is faulty.

The pod will not fire or gives no vapour. First check the battery. A flat device is the most common culprit. Next check that the pod is fully seated, because a half-seated pod breaks the electrical contact. Remove it, wipe the metal contacts gently with a dry cloth or cotton bud and push it back in. Check that the plastic plugs or stickers have been removed from the mouthpiece and the airflow opening. If the device flashes its indicator, that may be a short-circuit or low-battery warning, so charge it and try again.

A burnt or harsh taste. This happens when the cotton is dry. It may be the pod is nearly empty, the pod was fired before priming, or you have been chain vaping. Rest the device for a few minutes, take shorter draws and see if it recovers. If the burnt taste does not fade, the pod is spent and should be replaced. A burnt pod will not improve with time.

Leaking from the base or mouthpiece. Small amounts of condensation are normal. Wet fingers and a sticky device are not. Leaks are usually caused by heat, pressure changes or a pod that has been stored on its side or upside down. Wipe the device clean, fit a fresh pod and avoid leaving it in a hot car or in a bag on a warm day. If new pods leak straight out of the packet, contact us with your order number and a photo.

Weak flavour. Sort the obvious things first: low battery, loose pod, chain vaping. If those are fine, it may be vaper's tongue. Switch flavours for a few days and see whether the taste returns. Nicotine strength can also affect how intense a pod feels, so a very low strength may seem less flavoursome than a higher one.

Gurgling or spitting. This is liquid pooling in the airflow channel. Remove the pod, tap the mouthpiece lightly on a tissue, and refit it. Take slower, shorter draws. Persistent gurgling suggests a faulty seal.

The device gets hot. Warmth during use is normal. Real heat, especially while charging, is not. Stop using it, unplug it and let it cool somewhere safe. If it happens again, stop using that device altogether.

The pod drains quickly. Long draws, high-power use and chain vaping all use liquid faster. Hot environments thin the liquid and increase leakage. If the pod is lasting a day or less, try shorter draws and see whether the pace changes.

If none of this helps, contact us with your order number, the batch number on the pack and a short description or a photo. That is the quickest route to a replacement when a pod is genuinely faulty.

Value for money and how it compares

Pods are priced for convenience. Per millilitre, pre-filled pods cost more than bottled e-liquid, because you are paying for the coil, the sealed housing and the ease of use. Compared with smoking, though, they are normally far cheaper. A UK smoker on ten cigarettes a day spends several hundred pounds a month at current prices, while a pod user will typically spend a fraction of that.

Here is a fair way to judge value. Divide the price of a pod by the number of days it lasts for you. If a pod costs a few pounds and lasts two days, your daily cost is a pound or two. If you are lighter, it drops. If you are chain vaping, it climbs. Buying multipacks usually lowers the per-pod price, and it is worth stocking a few so you are not caught without a spare.

Now the comparisons, offered as honestly as we can.

• Against other closed-pod systems from mainstream brands: the Pro X format is the same basic idea as other closed 2ml pod systems in the UK market: a draw-activated device, a mesh coil and a sealed pod at up to 20mg/ml. In broad terms, flavour range and price are where the real differences lie, and you should compare the actual per-pod puff rating and strengths on the pack rather than the headline number in the name.
• Against big-brand pods from tobacco companies: these systems tend to be widely stocked in shops and supermarkets, which is convenient, but they usually offer fewer flavours and often charge more per pod. A system with a wider range of fruit flavours will suit you better if variety matters.
• Against refillable pod or tank kits: a refillable kit costs less per millilitre, offers hundreds of liquid choices and lets you pick your own strength. The price is more effort: you fill it, change coils and learn to deal with the occasional leak. If you want to switch off cigarettes with minimal fuss, a closed pod is simpler. If you want the lowest running cost, refillable wins.
• Against the old disposables: single-use vapes are no longer legal to sell in England, Scotland and Wales, and they were wasteful. A pod system keeps the battery and replaces only the pod, which means less e-waste and, over time, a lower cost per puff.

Where does this pod sit among them? It is a mainstream, straightforward fruit flavour on a pod format that most adult vapers will find easy to use. It is not the cheapest way to vape and it is not the lowest-waste option, but it is a sensible middle ground for people who value simplicity.

Remember also that value includes the cost of ownership. The device needs charging, the cable needs replacing now and then, and the old pods need proper disposal. Budget for those small things, and for the time to swap pods, and you will have a realistic picture of what a Pro X routine costs and takes.

If you are unsure, start with one flavour in a single pod, give it a few days, and judge it against your own habits before stocking up. Vaping is a personal thing, and a flavour that works for one person may not suit another.
