Melta
Melta sits in the pre-filled pod kit category. A pre-filled pod kit is a rechargeable device that takes sealed pods with the e-liquid already inside. You vape a pod, then click a fresh one into place instead of refilling from a bottle. The pod carries the coil as well as the liquid, so there is nothing to prime and nothing to service.
This collection is listed with 7 products. The live product feed returned nothing when this page was written, so no devices, flavours or puff figures are quoted below. What follows explains how the format works. The grid above shows what is actually available on the day you visit.
What replaced single use vapes
Single use vapes were prohibited from sale across the UK on 1 June 2025. The pre-filled pod kit is the format that took their place. To stay on sale a device now needs a rechargeable battery and a replaceable coil. It must also either be refillable or accept replaceable pre-filled pods. A pre-filled pod kit meets both tests, because the body charges over USB-C and the pod is a replaceable part with the coil inside it.
For anyone who liked the simplicity of a bar style product, this is the closest legal equivalent.
How a pre-filled pod kit works
The kit is usually two parts. The battery section houses the cell, the charging port and in most cases an indicator light. The pod holds the e-liquid and the coil together in one sealed unit. When the flavour fades you pull the pod off and push a new one on. Nicotine strength is fixed at whatever the pod was filled with, capped at 20mg per ml under UK law. Pod capacity is limited to 2ml where the liquid contains nicotine.
Puff counts and what they mean
A quoted puff count is a laboratory figure from a machine taking draws of a set length at a set interval. A longer draw, a warmer coil or chain vaping will all pull the true figure down. Treat the number as a way of comparing one product against another rather than a promise of what you will get.
Pre-filled pods against refilling
Pre-filled pods win on convenience. There is no measuring, no spillage and no decision beyond which flavour to pick up. Refillable kits win on running cost and on choice. A 10ml bottle of nic salt costs a few pounds, fills a 2ml pod several times over and opens up every flavour on the market rather than the handful a brand chooses to fill.
A common route is to start on a pre-filled kit while you work out which flavours and strengths suit you, then move to a refillable pod kit once you have settled.
Charging and maintenance
Charge with the cable supplied or a standard USB-C lead from a laptop port or a low output plug. Fast chargers intended for phones push more current than a small vape battery is designed to accept. Keep the battery contacts and the base of the pod clean and dry.
UK rules that apply
Every nicotine containing vaping product sold in the UK must be notified to the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency before it goes on sale. Nicotine e-liquid is capped at 20mg per ml, pods sold containing nicotine are capped at 2ml and bottles of nicotine e-liquid are capped at 10ml. Sales are restricted to adults aged 18 and over.

Pre-filled pod kit questions
Are there any Melta products available at the moment?
Not when this page was written. The live product feed for the Melta collection returned no items on 14 August 2026. The grid above shows the current position. You can call 07827 210361 between 8.30am and 4.00pm to ask when the range is expected to be listed.
What is a pre-filled pod kit?
It is a rechargeable vape device that takes sealed pods with e-liquid already inside. The pod contains both the liquid and the coil, so when it runs out you swap the whole pod for a fresh one. There is no bottle to carry and no coil to prime.
Are single-use vapes still legal in the UK?
No. Their sale ended across the UK on 1 June 2025. Any vape sold today needs a rechargeable battery and a replaceable coil. It must also either be refillable or take replaceable pre-filled pods, which is exactly what a pre-filled pod kit does.
How long does a pre-filled pod last?
A pod containing nicotine holds a maximum of 2ml of e-liquid in the UK. How long that lasts depends entirely on how you vape. A light user might get a couple of days from a pod while a heavy user could finish one inside a day.
Is a pre-filled kit cheaper than a refillable one?
Usually not over time. Pre-filled pods cost more per millilitre than a 10ml bottle of e-liquid, because you pay for the pod, the coil and the packaging every time. A pre-filled kit is cheaper to start with. A refillable kit costs more up front and pays that back through cheaper liquid.
What nicotine strength do pre-filled pods come in?
UK law caps nicotine e-liquid at 20mg per ml and most pre-filled pods are filled at or near that limit using nic salt, which feels smoother at high strength than freebase nicotine. Anyone coming off a heavier cigarette habit tends to start at 20mg while lighter smokers often prefer 10mg.
