# Dotpod, which Dotmod kit you have and which pod it takes > Dotpod Max, Plus, S, Nano or Go explained for UK vapers, what separates each Dotmod kit, which replacement pod to buy and how to read a listing first. Max, Max V1.5, Plus, S, Nano, Lite, Go… Under the **Dotpod** name, Dotmod sells very different devices, from a small pocket pod to a 60 W pod kit. That is why a request for "a Dotpod pod" can easily go wrong, with a small 2 ml refill bought for a kit that was designed around a much larger reservoir. Before reordering anything, the first job is to work out which part of the range your device belongs to. ## Dotpod, one name and three families of pods The **Dotpod** range splits into three families of refills that do not swap. The dotPod Max and its V1.5 use their own large pods. The dotPod Plus has dedicated pods of its own. The compact models, the dotPod S, Nano, Lite and Go, share a 2 ml pod that retailers often list as "dotPod series". So the first question is not the ohm value but the exact model name printed on the device or its box. Once that name is known, the choice narrows to two or three refills at most. ## The dotPod Max, the most powerful Dotpod kit The dotPod Max is the heavyweight of the line. The manufacturer's listing gives it a 2000 mAh built-in battery, a 60 W maximum output, a screen, adjustable airflow and USB-C charging. Several retailers describe the V1.5 with a 2100 mAh battery and a colour screen, at the same 60 W ceiling. What sets it apart is the choice of two refill systems. The manufacturer describes a tank with a replaceable coil, which takes dotCoil heads, and a pod with a built-in coil that is thrown away once worn. Two retailer listings describe the same box contents, an empty pod fitted with a 0.3 ohm dotCoil and a pod with a built-in 0.6 ohm coil. Pods with a built-in coil for the Max come in at least 0.4 and 0.6 ohm, and retailers list them for both the original Max and the V1.5. One retailer pitches the 0.4 ohm at an open, direct lung draw and the 0.6 ohm as a balance between flavour and vapour. Capacity needs a careful look. Manufacturer and retailer listings quote 5 ml, a figure that does not match the British cap, since UK rules limit a refillable tank to 2 ml and nicotine e-liquid to 20 mg per ml in 10 ml bottles. A kit sold for the UK has to meet that cap, so the capacity printed on the box is worth checking before you buy. ## The dotPod Plus, a screen and pods of its own The dotPod Plus sits in the middle of the range. Both the manufacturer and a British retailer give it a 1500 mAh battery, a 35 W maximum output, a 0.96-inch screen, adjustable airflow and USB-C charging. Its pods are its own. Listings tie them to no other model, and the values on offer run from 0.6 to 1.0 ohm, with a 0.4 ohm added on some listings. A 3 ml capacity appears on several of them, again above the 2 ml UK limit, so the same check of the packaging applies. ## The dotPod S, Nano, Lite and Go, compact kits on a 2 ml pod The four compact models in the range rely on the same 2 ml pod, with a built-in coil and a side fill port, sold in packs of two. It is also the refill on which retailer listings disagree the most. ### The dotPod S The dotPod S is the best-documented entry model. Listings agree on an 800 mAh battery, an 18 W maximum output, draw activation and adjustable airflow. Filling is done from the side, under a silicone plug. ### The dotPod Go The dotPod Go comes in two parts, a pen that holds the pod and a magnetic battery that recharges it on the move. One retailer states that it works with every pod in the series and that its output adjusts to the pod fitted. ### The Nano and the Lite Pods sold under the dotPod Nano name are also listed at 2 ml, in 0.8 and 1.0 ohm. A British retailer ships the dotPod Lite with a 0.6 ohm pod and links it to the Nano replacement pods. ## Which Dotpod replacement pod to buy for your kit For the 2 ml pod, two listings agree on three values, each paired with an output that the device sets on its own. - 1.0 ohm, set at 14 W, for a very tight mouth-to-lung draw (MTL) - 0.8 ohm, set at 16 W, for a tight draw - 0.6 ohm, set at 18 W, for a looser draw The table below sums up the refill to look for with each **Dotpod** kit, based on the listings consulted. | Your device | Matching refill | Listed capacity | Values found | |---|---|---|---| | dotPod Max, dotPod Max V1.5 | dotPod Max pod or tank with dotCoil | 5 ml outside the UK | 0.4 or 0.6 ohm built in, 0.3 ohm dotCoil | | dotPod Plus | dotPod Plus pod | 3 ml outside the UK | 0.6 to 1.0 ohm, sometimes 0.4 ohm | | dotPod S, Nano, Lite, Go | 2 ml dotPod series pod | 2 ml | 0.6, 0.8 or 1.0 ohm | The listings consulted sell these pods in pairs, with the value chosen at checkout. Settle on the value before ordering. ## Reading a Dotpod listing before you order Listings for this range contradict each other on three points, and the gaps are worth a moment before you pay. The first gap concerns the 2 ml pods. One shop lists them as compatible "only" with the dotPod S, another with the whole series, and a third recommends them for the Go. When in doubt, go with a listing that names your exact device. The second gap is how the Max pods fill. The manufacturer describes side filling, while two retailers describe a top fill. The real method is easy to confirm on the pod itself, and our guide on [how to refill a vape pod without leaking](/uk/how-to-refill-a-vape-pod/) covers the habits that apply to every format. The third gap is power ranges. For the same 0.4 ohm Max pod, one listing gives 25 to 40 W in its description and 28 to 35 W in its selector. Stay at the lower end while the flavour holds up, which is the careful approach with a fresh coil. The general rules for avoiding a refill that will not seat are gathered in our guide to [vape pod compatibility](/uk/vape-pod-compatibility/). ## FAQ A few questions come up whenever a kit from the range needs choosing or restocking. Here are the short answers. ### Will a dotPod S pod fit a dotPod Max? No. The dotPod Max takes larger pods and a tank built for its own format. The 2 ml pod of the compact models is not designed for it, and no listing links the two. ### What does V1.5 mean on the dotPod Max? It is the second version of the device. Retailers credit it with a 2100 mAh battery and a colour screen, and they list the same dotPod Max pods for the original version and for the V1.5. ### Can the coil in a 2 ml pod be changed? No. It is built in, so the whole pod is replaced once the flavour fades or a burnt taste appears. The signs of wear are covered in our guide on [when to change your vape coil](/uk/when-to-change-your-vape-coil/). ### Do you need to set the power on a dotPod S? Listings describe an output that adjusts to the pod value, 14 W for 1.0 ohm, 16 W for 0.8 ohm and 18 W for 0.6 ohm. The real choice is therefore made when buying the refill. ### Does the dotPod Max take replaceable coils? Yes, with its dedicated tank. That tank takes dotCoil heads, while dotPod Max pods with a built-in coil are replaced whole. Both options appear on the manufacturer's listing. ## Choosing your Dotpod and its refill, the essentials The Dotpod name covers three worlds, the 60 W Max, the Plus with its screen, and the compact kits that share a 2 ml pod. The exact model decides the refill, and the ohm value only comes second. Listings disagree on compatibility, filling and power ranges, and the larger capacities quoted for the bigger models sit above the 2 ml UK limit. A listing that names your device and a careful read of the box remain the best tools, for a **Dotpod** as for any other pod kit. Editorial content for adult readers only.
