## 🔄 **Pod Systems vs. Tank & Mod Kits: What’s the Difference?**

### **Pod Systems**

Pod systems are compact, easy-to-use devices designed for convenience. They’re perfect for **beginners** , **light smokers switching to vaping** , and anyone who wants a portable setup with minimal fuss.

- **Best for:** Nicotine salts and MTL (mouth-to-lung) vaping
- **Pros:** Lightweight, simple, discreet, low maintenance
- **Cons:** Smaller battery, limited vapour, less customisation

### **Tank & Mod Kits**

- **Best for:** Freebase e-liquids and cloud chasing
- **Pros:** More vapour, bigger battery, customisable settings
- **Cons:** Bulkier, steeper learning curve, requires coil/tank upkeep
