Compatibility
Fitment data
Fitment is measured, not assumed. These are the checks that run before a pod is quoted as compatible with a device.
| Check | Method | Pass criteria | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Physical fit | Measured against supplied device or 3D file | Seats fully, no force required | Verified per order |
| Seal integrity | Pressure test on assembled pod | No leakage under test load | Verified per order |
| Draw resistance | Airflow measurement | Within agreed band | Verified per order |
| Contact continuity | Electrical continuity check | Stable contact across cycle test | Verified per order |
| Cycle endurance | Repeated insert / remove cycles | No wear-induced looseness | Verified per order |

We publish no compatibility claim for a device we have not physically tested. If you send a device we cannot match, we will say so rather than quote a fitment that fails at sample stage.
Family comparison
Where this pod sits in the range
Three families share one fitment platform. Buyers usually standardise on the Pod Core and add the other two where the channel needs them.
| Family | What it is | Best for | Configuration freedom |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pod Core (this page) | Prefilled pod, organic cotton wick, dual mesh 1.0Ω or ceramic coil | Standardising one pod across the full RELX device range and AIPOD hosts | Coil choice, shell branding, packaging |
| Crystal Shell | Transparent prefilled pod housing on the shared fitment platform | Shelf-visible liquid and a premium look at retail | Transparency, tint, surface finish; custom shapes are tooling-led |
| Pod Device Kit | Rechargeable USB-C host that carries the pod platform | Completing a legal replacement-pod set for markets with single-use bans | Device colour, branding, packaging |
Swipe the table sideways to see every column →
Because all three families share fitment, a buyer can open with one SKU per family, verify sell-through on real shelves, and scale the winners — without a second tooling set.
Flavour & finish
Configurable, within limits
Flavour direction, shell finish and branding are set per project. What cannot be configured is the regulatory ceiling for the destination market.
Flavour direction
Fruit, menthol, tobacco and beverage directions can be developed against your brief. Flavour names and descriptors must comply with the destination market's rules — the UK restricts descriptors that appeal to children.
Shell & finish
Transparent, translucent or solid shells, gloss or matte, with colour matched to your brand. Colour and finish are locked on the physical sample you approve.
Packaging
Custom dielines for singles, multipacks and display boxes, including plain and health-warning-compliant outer packaging where the market requires it.
Before you order
What we need to quote
Pod projects fail on missing information far more often than on price. These five answers turn an enquiry into a quotation.
- 01 · Target market
- Drives limits and paperwork
- 02 · Device to match
- Model or physical sample
- 03 · Quantity band
- Monthly or per order
- 04 · Nicotine requirement
- Strength, or 0 mg
- 05 · Packaging & branding
- Dieline, box type, logo
Send those five and the factory team can come back with a configuration, a lead time and a price band rather than a list of follow-up questions.
