The Zeltu X3 range gives adult vapers a choice of two rechargeable devices: the original X3 and the X3+. But what is the difference, which pods fit, and should you choose prefilled or refillable pods? This guide covers the practical details to help you choose your setup.
At Big 5 Vape Shop, we stock both devices in the full colour range, alongside the full prefilled flavour range in 10mg and 20mg strengths. Browse our Zeltu devices and pods for current availability.
Zeltu X3 vs X3+: What Is the Difference?
The clearest difference is battery capacity. The original Zeltu X3 has a 620mAh battery, while the X3+ increases that to 1000mAh. Both have a slim 7.5mm profile.
| Feature | Zeltu X3 | Zeltu X3+ |
|---|---|---|
| Battery capacity | 620mAh | 1000mAh |
| Thickness | 7.5mm | 7.5mm |
| Compatible X3 prefilled pods | Yes | Yes |
| Compatible X3 refillable pods | Yes | Yes |
| Main consideration | Original device with a smaller battery | Larger battery capacity |
The X3+ has around 61% more battery capacity, but that does not mean every user will get 61% longer between charges. Pod choice and how you vape also affect battery life.
Compare the Zeltu X3 device with the Zeltu X3+ kit, and check each listing for its contents before ordering.
Which Pods Fit the Zeltu X3 and X3+?
Both devices work with compatible Zeltu X3 prefilled pods. Our Zeltu refillable pods are also listed for use with the original X3 and the X3+.
The important distinction is how you use the pod:
- Prefilled pods already contain e-liquid. Replace the pod when it is empty.
- Refillable pods arrive empty and need a suitable bottled e-liquid. You can refill them until the integrated coil needs replacing.
A prefilled pod is not the same as a refillable pod. Do not open a sealed prefilled pod to add more liquid.
Zeltu X3 Pod Flavours and Nicotine Strengths
The Zeltu pod range includes fruit, mint, drink-inspired, dessert and tobacco options. Examples include Fresh Mint, Blue Slushie, Raspberry Pear, Pineapple Ice and Vanilla Custard Tobacco.
At Big 5 Vape Shop, we carry the full prefilled flavour range in both 10mg and 20mg strengths. Select the flavour and strength together when ordering, as availability can change.
The strength describes nicotine concentration: 10mg/ml is 1%, while 20mg/ml is 2%. It does not describe how strong the flavour tastes. If you already use nicotine pods, check your current packaging before choosing a replacement.
Prefer choosing your own bottled liquid? A compatible refillable pod gives you that option. Follow the pod manufacturer’s recommendations when selecting an e-liquid.
How to Get Started with Your Zeltu X3
Before first use, check the instructions supplied with your device and pod.
- Check the kit contents. Make sure you have a compatible pod as well as the device.
- Charge as instructed. Use charging equipment that meets the manufacturer’s requirements.
- Prepare the pod. Remove any protective seals or plugs identified in its instructions.
- For refillable pods, fill first. Allow the coil to soak for the time specified by the manufacturer before using it.
- Fit the pod securely. Follow the device instructions to begin using your setup.
When a prefilled pod runs out, replace it and keep the rechargeable device. With a refillable pod, avoid letting the liquid run dry and replace the pod when its coil is worn.
