How to Refill a Pod Kit Using OXVA OX Passion Nic Salts
Open the fill port, add OX Passion slowly leaving a small air gap, close it firmly, then let the coil soak before vaping. Do not overfill, and refill before the pod runs too low.
Refilling a pod kit is quick once you know how, and doing it cleanly avoids leaks and dry hits. This guide explains how to refill a pod with OXVA OX Passion nic salts, alongside our guide on how to avoid leaking.
In short
To refill a pod with OX Passion, open the fill port, insert the nozzle and add the nic salt slowly, leaving a small air gap rather than overfilling. Close the port firmly, then let the coil soak for a few minutes before vaping, especially with a new coil. Refill before the pod runs too low to avoid dry hits, and wipe away any excess.
How to refill cleanly
Most pod kits refill through a fill port on the side or base of the pod. Open it, insert the bottle nozzle, and add the e liquid gently and slowly to avoid air bubbles and overfilling. Leave a small air gap at the top, this helps the pod seal and draw correctly, then close the port securely and wipe away any drips.
Refilling step by step
- Open the pod’s fill port
- Insert the bottle nozzle into the port
- Add the nic salt slowly, leaving a small air gap
- Close the fill port firmly
- Let the coil soak for a few minutes, then vape
Avoiding common refill problems
Two things prevent most issues. First, do not overfill, leaving a small air gap stops leaks and flooding. Second, let the coil soak after refilling, especially a new one, so the wick is saturated before you vape, which avoids a dry, burnt hit. Refilling before the pod runs nearly empty also keeps the coil wet and performing well.

Priming a new coil
When you fit a fresh coil or pod, priming is the most important step. The wick inside needs to be fully soaked with e liquid before you vape, otherwise the first puffs can scorch the dry wick and leave a burnt taste that ruins the coil. After filling, simply wait a few minutes to let the liquid absorb.
Some vapers also add a drop of e liquid directly onto the exposed wick of a new coil before fitting it, then wait. Either way, patience here protects your coil and your flavour.
Refill and prime
| Step | Why |
|---|---|
| Fill slowly | Avoids bubbles |
| Leave an air gap | Prevents leaks |
| Close firmly | Seals the pod |
| Wait to soak | Saturates the wick |
| Then vape | No burnt taste |
A few more questions
How long should I let it soak?
A few minutes is usually enough; with a brand new coil, waiting five minutes is a safe habit to avoid a dry hit.
Why leave an air gap?
It lets the pod seal and draw correctly, and stops liquid being forced out, which helps prevent leaks and flooding.
Do and don’t
Do
- Add e liquid slowly
- Leave a small air gap
- Close the fill port firmly
- Let the coil soak before vaping
Try not to
- Overfill the pod
- Rush the first puffs on a new coil
- Force liquid in quickly
- Vape it if you are a non smoker
Topping up versus a fresh pod
There is a difference between topping up a part used pod and starting a fresh one. Topping up is quick, just refill before it runs low and carry on. A fresh pod or coil, though, always needs priming, since the wick starts dry. Treat the two differently and you will avoid the burnt taste that catches people out when they fit something new.
As a rule, refill little and often rather than letting the pod run dry, which keeps the coil wet and the flavour consistent.
Top up versus fresh pod
| Topping up | Fresh pod or coil |
|---|---|
| Refill and go | Prime first |
| Wick still wet | Wick starts dry |
| No wait needed | Wait a few minutes |
| Keep it topped | Soak before vaping |
| Consistent flavour | Avoids burnt taste |
The bottom line
Refilling a pod with OXVA OX Passion is quick once you know how: open the fill port, insert the nozzle, and add the nic salt slowly, leaving a small air gap rather than overfilling. Close the port firmly, wipe any drips, then let the coil soak for a few minutes before vaping, especially with a new coil, to avoid a dry, burnt hit. Refill before the pod runs too low so the coil never dries out. Get into these simple habits, fill slowly, leave an air gap, prime new coils, and you will enjoy clean flavour with no leaks or burnt hits.
Handling nic salt safely
Because OX Passion contains nicotine, handle it sensibly when refilling. Avoid skin contact with the liquid where you can, wash your hands if you spill any, keep the bottle and pod out of reach of children and pets, and reseal the child resistant cap firmly afterwards. None of this is onerous, just the same care you would give any nicotine product.
Refilling over a surface that is easy to wipe, and keeping a tissue handy, makes the whole process tidy and safe.
Safe refilling
| Do | Why |
|---|---|
| Wash hands after spills | Nicotine handling |
| Keep out of reach | Child and pet safety |
| Reseal the cap | Safety and freshness |
| Wipe surfaces | Tidy and safe |
| Store securely | Out of harm’s way |
A few more questions
Is it bad to get e liquid on my skin?
Avoid it where you can and wash it off if you spill; nicotine can be absorbed through skin, so handle it sensibly.
How full should I fill the pod?
To just below the maximum line, leaving a small air gap; overfilling can cause leaks and flooding.
A couple more questions
Can I refill before it is empty?
Yes, topping up before the pod runs low keeps the coil wet and the flavour consistent; just avoid overfilling.

One more question
What if my pod gurgles after refilling?
It is usually a little excess liquid or a flooded coil; take a couple of gentle draws, wipe any liquid from the contacts, and it should settle.
Can I switch flavours when I refill?
Yes, though for the cleanest taste run the pod low or fit a fresh pod first; otherwise expect a brief blend of the two flavours.
A quick word on safety and the law
Vaping is intended for adult smokers and existing vapers as a less harmful alternative to cigarettes. OXVA OX Passion nic salts contain nicotine, which is addictive, so they are not suitable for non smokers, pregnant women or anyone under 18. By law you must be 18 or over to buy vaping products in the UK, and we age verify every order in line with Challenge 25. If you want to stop using nicotine altogether, your local stop smoking service offers free, tailored support.
UK public health bodies advise that vaping is substantially less harmful than smoking, but it is not risk free, and if you do not smoke the advice is not to start.
This page is general product information, not personal medical or legal advice. Specifications and flavours can vary, so always check the bottle and label.
