Kiwi Pod – What is it in Vaping?

Definition

A Kiwi Pod is a pre-filled or refillableCartridge“>pod cartridge designed for ultra-portable pod vape kits. Named for its discreet, palm-sized form factor and vibrant fruit-flavoured e-liquids, the Kiwi Pod houses a built-in coil (often Wire“>Kanthal wire) and wicking material that snaps magnetically into a low-wattage battery device. Its purpose is to deliver a tight, cigarette-like MTL (mouth-to-lung) draw with minimal vapour, making it ideal for beginner Australian vapers or stealth users who value convenience over cloud production.

Technical Details

Kiwi Pods typically hold 1.8–2 ml of 20–50 mg Nicotine Salt”>nicotine salte-liquid and operate between 7–12 W. The internal 1.2 Ω Kanthal coil is wicked with Cotton“>organic cotton and press-fitted into a food-grade PCTG shell. Airflow is fixed via a knurled design micro-channel that cannot be adjusted, ensuring consistent restriction. Magnetic gold-plated contacts provide 510-equivalent conductivity while keeping height under 25 mm. Variants include closed Kiwi Pods (single-use, TPD-compliant) and Kiwi refillable pods with a silicone side-fill port that accepts 3–4 refills before coil degradation.

Usage & Tips

  • Prime a new pod: fill, wait 5 min, take 3 dry pulls without firing to saturate the wick.
  • Avoid Vaping“>chain vaping; 3–4 s draws with 30 s rests prevent the Kanthal coil from overheating and tasting burnt.
  • If auto-draw fails, wipe condensation from the air sensor window with a tissue.
  • Dispose of spent pods at Australian battery recycling points—lithium cells remain live even when flavour drops.

History & Context

Launched in 2021 by Italian brand Kiwi Vapor, the Kiwi Pod system arrived in Australia after TPD laws tightened European markets. Its closed-pod format sidestepped local nicotine import paperwork, quickly becoming a staple in tobacconists next to disposable vapes.
