The Gotek, Pixo and Zelos Ranges
Aspire’s pod kits fall into three groups. The Gotek range is the budget favourite: the Gotek X at £7.99 is a draw activated 650mAh pod kit that has become one of the most bought first kits in the store, the Gotek X3 and Gotek Nano add bigger batteries at 1200mAh and 1000mAh, and the Gotek Pro tops the family with 1500mAh and up to 17 watts.
The Pixo range is the pen style step up. The Pixo Aura at £11.99 gives 1300mAh and 5 to 30 watts, the Pixo runs 1100mAh at the same power, and the Pixo Max carries a 2600mAh cell with dual mesh pods. At the top sits the Zelos M80, a 2600mAh pod mod with 5 to 80 watts that runs mesh or bottom vertical coils for either MTL or full direct to lung vaping. The Cyber X and Loomix round out the middle at 1000mAh and 1500mAh.
Aspire Pods and Coils Explained
Aspire keeps pods within each family, so a Gotek pod fits every Gotek kit, a Pixo pod fits every Pixo kit, and the Zelos M80 has its own. That makes replacements easy to buy but means you should always check the family name before ordering. Gotek and Pixo pods are the sealed type with the mesh coil built in: when the flavour fades you replace the pod, refill and carry on.
The Zelos M80 is the exception. Its pod takes separate coil heads, so you keep the pod and swap only the coil, choosing a higher resistance for a tight draw with nic salts or a low resistance mesh for clouds with 70/30 shortfills. Whichever kit you own, fill a new pod, wait five minutes and take a few gentle puffs before vaping properly. That soak is what stops a fresh Aspire pod tasting burnt on day one.

Aspire Pod Kits FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Aspire pod kit is best for beginners?
The Gotek X. It is draw activated, costs £7.99, runs nic salts well on its mesh pods and has nothing to adjust. If you want a bigger battery for the same simplicity, the Gotek Pro at 1500mAh is the natural step up.
Are Aspire pods interchangeable?
Within a family, yes: any Gotek pod fits any Gotek kit and any Pixo pod fits any Pixo kit. Across families, no. The Zelos M80 uses its own pod with separate coil heads.
Do Aspire pods have replaceable coils?
Gotek and Pixo pods have the coil built in, so you replace the whole pod. The Zelos M80 pod takes separate mesh or bottom vertical coil heads, which makes it cheaper per change and lets you switch between MTL and sub ohm coils.
Can I use shortfill liquid in an Aspire pod kit?
Only in the Zelos M80 with a sub ohm coil fitted. The Gotek and Pixo kits are mouth to lung devices whose pods wick nic salts and 50/50 liquid; thick 70/30 shortfills will run them dry.
