What Are The Best DTL Pod Kits In 2025?

19th Mar 2025(updated)

Pod kits have a well-earned reputation as being simple vapes that are ideal for beginners and experts. A DTL (Direct To Lung) pod kit takes this classic design and combines it with low-resistance coils and an even bigger battery. The result is a powerful kit that produces a lot of vapour – but is still very compact and simple to use.

Also known as sub ohm pod kits, these devices are ideal if you’re looking for increased vapour production without all the maintenance and set-up. We’ve selected the very best from our wide range of DTL pod kits and this guide features highlights from the biggest brands like Smok, Voopoo, Innokin and Vaporesso. For every pick, we’ve listed the wattage range, battery capacity, coil type and special features, so you can compare our best-selling pod vape kits at a glance.
