10ml Replaceable Pod System – A31

Most vape brands lose the customer at the second purchase. The first sale is packaging and price; the second is whether the product gave the user a reason to come back to you specifically. A replaceable pod system builds that reason into the hardware.

The A31 is a 10ml replaceable pod device with a 550mAh base, a 1.2Ω mesh coil, and pods that ship pre-filled with your e-liquid. Users keep the base and buy pods. Below are the specifications, what you can customize, and the questions brand owners ask before placing a first run.

A31 Specifications

OEM and ODM Options

Two parts of the A31 carry your brand: the battery base and the pod. E-liquid is developed to your flavor profile and filled at 0–5% nicotine, so the pod is a finished product under your label rather than an empty shell.

• E-liquid: flavor developed to your profile; nicotine 0–5%
• Device: custom colors, logo, and surface finish on the battery base
• Packaging: pod blister, device box, and carton to your artwork
• Documentation: MSDS and test reports supplied to support your filings

Why the base-and-pod split matters for your logistics

The user keeps the 550mAh base and buys pods. That changes what you ship after launch: refill orders move pods alone, not complete devices with batteries inside. Pods take less volume per unit of e-liquid sold, and a shipment without loose lithium cells clears customs on a simpler path than a full device consignment.

The commercial effect shows up in reorder economics. Your first shipment carries the hardware cost; every shipment after that carries mostly e-liquid and plastic. Brands running this format usually see reorder margin land above what a comparable disposable returns.

Why the readout matters in a pod format

On a disposable, a dead battery ends the product. On the A31 it ends a pod. The percentage readout tells the user which one they are looking at, so a flat battery sends them to a charger and an empty pod sends them to your reorder.

That distinction protects repeat sales. Users who cannot tell the two apart often discard a working base along with the spent pod, and the reorder never happens.

The 16.5mm body

At 16.5mm thick the A31 sits flat in a pocket, which matters for retail display and for the shelf space a distributor allocates per SKU. The slim profile comes from stacking the pod behind the battery rather than beside it.

The 1.2Ω mesh coil

A 1.2Ω mesh coil pulls a mouth-to-lung draw, the tighter style most pod users expect. Mesh spreads heat across a wider wick surface than a wire coil, which keeps the flavor steady as the pod empties instead of thinning out over the last few milliliters.

Quality control

Every A31 run passes four inspection stages: IQC on incoming components, IPQC during assembly, FQC on finished units, and OQC before the shipment leaves. Units are built to the standards of the destination market.

Production lead time: 25–30 days.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do A31 pods ship pre-filled, or do we fill them ourselves?

Pods ship pre-filled. We develop the e-liquid to your flavor profile, fill at the nicotine level you specify, and seal the pod before it leaves the line. You receive a finished product, so you do not need a separate filling partner or a second facility in the chain.

What nicotine strengths can we specify?

Anywhere from 0% to 5%, set per order. Brands selling into several markets often run one flavor at two or three strengths under the same artwork, which keeps the packaging plates common while the product matches each market's expectations. Tell us the markets and we will confirm what each run needs.

What can we change on the A31, and what stays fixed?

Flavor, nicotine level, device color, logo, surface finish, and all packaging are open. The tooling itself is fixed, which is what keeps the timeline at 25–30 days rather than the months a new mold takes. If you want a housing no one else can order, that is a separate ODM conversation and we can walk you through it.

How does the A31 compare with a disposable for our brand?

A disposable wins on simplicity: one SKU, no user learning curve. The A31 wins on what happens after the first sale. Your customer holds a base they paid for, which makes your pod the default next purchase rather than one option on a shelf. The trade-off is inventory — you carry two SKUs, base kits and pod refills, and you have to keep both in stock.

Compare across the range

Capacity is the main variable in this line: the A05 5ml, A51 8ml, the A31 at 10ml, and the A52 12ml. See the full replaceable pod system range to compare formats side by side.
