Description
The PIXL 5000 prefilled pod kit gives up to 5,000 puffs from a rechargeable device that takes click-in flavour packs. It costs £6.99, or 3 for £18 (£6 each), and ships with a 2ml pod plus a 4ml refill container, 6ml of 20mg nic salt in total.
What sets the PIXL 5K apart at this price is the auto-feed pack: the 4ml container tops up the 2ml pod as you vape, with no manual filling. It suits ex-smokers who want a tight mouth-to-lung draw with no buttons, and anyone missing the old PIXL 6000 disposable who needs a legal, reusable version in 2026.
Key Specs Customers Check
Puff count: up to 5,000 per pack. A manufacturer maximum; short draws get closest to it.
E-liquid: 2ml pod plus 4ml refill container (6ml total). The container feeds the pod automatically, so one pack acts as a single 6ml fill.
Nicotine: 20mg (2%) nic salt, 50/50 VG/PG. The UK maximum, smooth enough for a 20-a-day smoker.
Battery: 800mAh, built in. A full day of steady use per charge.
Charging: USB-C, no cable in the box. A full charge takes around 35 minutes.
Coil: 1.1 ohm mesh, inside the pod. Renewed with every pack, so it never wears out.
Display: LED battery percentage screen. An exact number, not a colour-coded light.
Activation: draw-activated, no button. Nothing to unlock, no pocket firing.
Compatibility: PIXL 5K refill packs only. PIXL 8000 and Duo 12 pods do not fit.
Key Features
Auto-feed 2ml + 4ml pack: pod and container clip together. You never touch e-liquid.
Whole-pack replacement: pull the empty pack out, push a new PIXL 5K refill pod in.
Prime before the first draw: leave a new pack in the device for 2 to 3 minutes. Skipping this is the top cause of a burnt first hit.
How Long Will It Last
Light vaper (around 300 puffs a day): about 16 days.
Average vaper (around 500 puffs a day): about 10 days.
Heavy vaper (800+ puffs a day): 6 days or less.
Long pulls use more liquid, so heavy users often see nearer 4,000 real puffs.
Popular Flavours
Ten kit flavours, all 20mg, plus six refill-only flavours (Mr Blue, Juicy Peach, Hawaiian Oasis, Strawberry Burst, Strawberry Raspberry Cherry, Strawberry Raspberry Ice).
Blueberry Sour Razz (BEST) – sweet blueberry inhale, sharp sour raspberry exhale. Rated among PIXL’s top flavours in retailer reviews.
Pineapple Ice (BEST) – juicy, tangy pineapple with a frosty finish. Reviewers say it tastes fresh, not tinned.
Cherry Ice (BEST) – dark cherry, clean menthol exhale.
Blue Razz GB – blue raspberry with sugary gummy bear notes.
Blueberry Raspberry – the classic pairing, juicy, no ice. A safe first flavour.
Fresh Mint – clean cooling mint, no fruit. PIXL itself recommends it for menthol cigarette switchers.
Hub Bub – soft fruity bubblegum, light cool kick.
Strawberry Hub Bub – ripe strawberry over bubblegum.
Lemon & Lime – sharp lemon, zesty lime, for anyone who dislikes sweet vapes.
Rainbow Candy – mixed fruit sweets, sweet and tangy.
Ex-smokers usually settle on Fresh Mint or Cherry Ice, since the cool finish mimics menthol. Fruit lovers should start with Blueberry Raspberry or Pineapple Ice, sweet-tooth vapers with Blue Razz GB or Hub Bub. New vapers do well with Blueberry Raspberry or Fresh Mint. Heavy vapers should skip the candy flavours, which reviewers say turn cloying over long sessions.
How to Set Up and Make It Last Longer
Setting up
Peel all seals off the device, pod and refill container.
Clip the 2ml pod onto the 4ml container so they form one pack.
Push the pack firmly into the device until it seats.
Wait 2 to 3 minutes for the mesh coil to soak.
Draw gently to fire.
Making it last longer
Charge from a laptop or 1A to 2A plug, not a fast charger.
Take 2 to 3 second draws with a pause between puffs.
Swap the pack when flavour fades. Running it dry burns the coil.
If it gurgles, remove the pack and blow gently through the airflow hole in the base.
Community Insights
The 5K is new, so owner feedback so far comes from PIXL’s other kits. PIXL’s Trustpilot profile shows a recurring complaint of burnt hits on a fresh pack, almost always fixed by waiting the full 2 to 3 minutes before the first draw. Vape Club reviewers of the PIXL 8000 found its five-click child lock fiddly, a problem the buttonless 5K avoids.

FAQ
Can I refill the PIXL 5000 with my own e-liquid?
No. The pack is sealed and made to be replaced; forcing it open ruins the coil.
Do PIXL 8000 or Duo 12 pods fit the 5K?
No. The 8000’s 2ml + 10ml pack is a different size. Only packs marked PIXL 5K work.
How do I unlock a PIXL 5000?
Nothing to unlock. The 5K has no button, so the PIXL 8000 five-click sequence does not apply. If it will not fire, check the seals are off, the pack is fully in and the battery is charged.
Why does a new pack taste burnt?
The coil was not given time to soak. Fit the pack, wait 2 to 3 minutes, then take short gentle draws. Still burnt? The pack is faulty, swap it.
How do I know when the pack is empty?
The screen shows battery only. Fading flavour, thin vapour or a dry taste mean it is done.
Is the PIXL 5000 legal after the UK disposable ban?
Yes. It is rechargeable with a replaceable pod, which is what the June 2025 rules require, and pods are 2ml and 20mg.
Is it worth buying over the PIXL 8000?
The 5K for the cheaper kit, smaller body and no buttons; the 8000 if you vape heavily and want a lower cost per puff. Compare both in the 5000 puff vape and rechargeable vape ranges, alongside other prefilled pod kits.
18+ only. This product contains nicotine, which is an addictive substance. Not suitable for non-smokers, pregnant or breastfeeding women, or persons under 18 years of age. Keep out of reach of children.
