How Do You Replace the Pod on an Imp Jar Device?
A simple step by step guide to swapping out an Imp Jar pod, plus the clear signs that tell you when it is time for a fresh one.
The short answer
Replacing the pod on an Imp Jar device is simple, gently pull the empty pod straight up out of the device, then push a new pod firmly down into the slot until it clicks securely into place. No tools are needed and the process takes just a few seconds.

When to replace your pod
Unlike a coil sold separately, the mesh coil on the Imp Jar Pod System is built directly into the pod itself, so when the coil reaches the end of its life you replace the whole pod. The clearest signs are a noticeably muted flavour, a burnt taste or reduced vapour production compared to when the pod was new.
Step by step replacement
- Make sure the old pod is either empty or has had any remaining e-liquid emptied out.
- Hold the device firmly and pull the pod straight upward to remove it.
- Take a new pod and fill it with e-liquid using the top-fill port before inserting it.
- Push the new pod firmly down into the device until it seats fully and clicks into place.
- Allow a few minutes for the coil to saturate before vaping.
Signs it is time for a new pod
| Sign | What it means |
|---|---|
| Burnt or muted taste | The coil inside the pod has reached the end of its lifespan |
| Reduced vapour | The coil may be partially worn or not saturating evenly |
| Gurgling or leaking | The pod may be damaged or overfilled, worth checking or replacing |
Common questions about replacing pods
Can I clean and reuse the same pod?
Pods are not designed to have the coil replaced separately, so once the coil is worn the whole pod should be replaced rather than cleaned and reused indefinitely.
Do I need to empty the old pod before removing it?
It is good practice to empty any remaining liquid first to avoid spills when pulling the pod out.
Will a new pod fit straight away without issues?
Yes, every Imp Jar Select pod is designed to fit the same slot, so a new pod should seat and click into place without any adjustment needed.
