JNR Vape Pods — Replacement & Refill Guide

JNR's entire value proposition depends on replacement pods. The kit gets you started — the battery, two pre-filled pods, and four bottles of juice — but the long-term economics only work if you keep reusing that battery and swapping in fresh pods. This guide covers everything about JNR replacement pods: what's included, compatibility between devices, how to refill, when to replace, pricing, and how to avoid common mistakes that waste juice or damage pods.

JNR Pod Types — Know Your Compatibility

This is the most important thing to understand: JNR makes two different pod types, and they are NOT interchangeable.

	P4 Stellarc Pod	P5 GlassRock Pod
Compatible Device	P4 Stellarc battery ONLY	P5 GlassRock battery ONLY
Pod Capacity	2mL tank + 10mL refill container	2mL tank + 10mL refill container
Included E-Liquid	Pre-filled pod + 2 × 10mL bottles (32mL total)	Pre-filled pod + 2 × 10mL bottles (32mL total)
Coil	1.2Ω dual mesh	1.2Ω dual mesh (3× lifespan claim)
Connection	Magnetic, twist-to-lock	Magnetic snap-fit
Estimated Puffs	~7,000–8,000	~8,000–9,000
Price	$21.99	$21.99
Flavors Available	All 10 US flavors	All 10 US flavors

If you own a P4 Stellarc, buy P4 pods. If you own a P5 GlassRock, buy P5 pods. The physical design, magnetic orientation, and connector shape are different. Trying to force a P5 pod into a P4 battery (or vice versa) won't work and could damage the magnetic contacts.

What Comes with a Replacement Pod

Each replacement pod purchase includes:

• 1 × pre-filled pod (2mL tank + 10mL refill container, assembled)
• 2 × 10mL e-liquid bottles (same flavor as the pod)

Total e-liquid: 32mL per pod purchase (12mL pre-filled in pod assembly + 20mL in bottles). That's exactly half of what you get in a full kit (64mL), at roughly the same per-mL price — $21.99 for 32mL versus $23.99–$24.99 for 64mL. The kit includes the battery, which is why it costs more per unit.

How the Refill System Works — Step by Step

JNR pods use a three-part structure that works the same on both the P4 and P5:

Part 1: The 2mL tank (top). This is where the coil sits and where vapor is produced. It's the smallest chamber and connects to the mouthpiece.

Part 2: The 10mL auto-refill container (middle). This larger chamber feeds e-liquid into the 2mL tank automatically during use through a one-way valve. You never need to manually transfer juice from the container to the tank — it happens by pressure differential as you draw.

Part 3: The magnetic base (bottom). This connects the pod to the battery module.

Refilling the Container

When the 10mL container empties (roughly every 2,000–2,500 puffs):

1. Remove the pod from the battery by pulling straight up.
2. Locate the silicone plug on the side of the 10mL container.
3. Pull the plug out gently — it's a tight fit by design to prevent leaks.
4. Insert the nozzle of your 10mL refill bottle and squeeze slowly. Don't overfill.
5. Replace the silicone plug firmly. Press until you feel it seat flush.
6. Reattach the pod to the battery. Wait 30 seconds before vaping to let the wick saturate.

Each pod can be refilled multiple times — the limiting factor is coil degradation, not the container. You'll typically refill 3–4 times before the coil needs replacing (the entire pod swap). For a broader setup walkthrough covering both devices, see How to Use JNR Vape.

When to Replace Your Pod — Warning Signs

The coil inside the pod is not user-replaceable — when it's done, you swap the entire pod. Here's how to know when:

Flavor becomes muted or "flat." This is the first sign, usually appearing around puff 6,000–7,000. The flavor isn't burnt yet, just noticeably weaker than fresh. Some vapers push through this phase; others swap immediately.

Slightly burnt or "warm" taste. Around puff 7,000–8,500 (depending on P4 vs P5), the coil mesh starts degrading. You'll notice a warm, slightly acrid undertone beneath the flavor. This is the definitive "swap now" signal.

Reduced vapor production. When the same draw produces noticeably less vapor than a fresh pod, the coil is dying. This usually accompanies the burnt taste.

Gurgling or spitting. If the pod starts gurgling or spitting juice, the coil's wicking is failing. This can also mean the pod-to-container seal is compromised. Either way, it's time for a new pod.

Don't wait for a completely burnt, unvapeable taste before swapping. The gradual decline phase (puffs 6,000–8,000) gets progressively worse, and pushing a dying coil for an extra few hundred puffs isn't worth the poor experience.

Can You Use Third-Party E-Liquid in JNR Pods?

Technically yes — the 10mL refill container accepts any standard e-liquid through the silicone fill port. However, there are trade-offs:

Coil compatibility. JNR's 1.2Ω dual mesh coils are optimized for their specific sugar-free formula, which is thinner (higher PG ratio) than many commercial e-liquids. Using thicker VG-heavy juice (70/30 or higher) can overwhelm the wicking and cause dry hits or reduced coil life.

Recommended e-liquid specs for third-party use: 50/50 or 60/40 VG/PG ratio, nicotine salt formulation (freebase at 5% will be extremely harsh through a 1.2Ω coil), and minimal added sweetener to preserve coil longevity.

Warranty implication. Using non-JNR e-liquid won't void the battery warranty, but JNR won't cover pod failures that result from incompatible juice. If you stick to JNR's included bottles, you're covered.

Pod Pricing & Long-Term Cost Analysis

Purchase	Cost	E-Liquid	Est. Puffs	Cost Per 1,000 Puffs
P4 Stellarc Kit (first purchase)	$23.99	64mL	~15,000–20,000	$1.20–$1.60
P4 Replacement Pod	$21.99	32mL	~7,000–10,000	$2.20–$3.14
P5 GlassRock Kit (first purchase)	$24.99	64mL	~15,000–20,000	$1.25–$1.67
P5 Replacement Pod	$21.99	32mL	~7,000–10,000	$2.20–$3.14

Compare this to sealed disposables: a typical $20 device gives you 5,000–10,000 puffs with no replacement option — that's $2.00–$4.00 per 1,000 puffs, and you're buying a new battery every time. After the initial kit purchase, JNR's ongoing pod cost is competitive with or cheaper than most all-in-one disposables.

The sweet spot for savings comes after your third or fourth pod replacement, when the kit's battery cost has been fully amortized across enough puffs to drop the blended cost well below disposable alternatives. For a deeper price comparison across brands, see JNR Vape Price.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Assembling the pod and container incorrectly. This is the #1 issue new JNR users encounter. The 2mL pod tank must be properly inserted into the 10mL container before attaching to the battery. If assembled wrong, it's difficult to separate without spilling. The GlassRock's transparent body makes it easier to spot misassembly; on the Stellarc, you'll only know something's wrong when you get dry hits or see leaking.

Overfilling the container. The 10mL container has a fill line — exceeding it creates back-pressure that can force juice through the air path, causing gurgling and spitback. Fill to the line, not above it.

Forgetting to prime after refill. After refilling the 10mL container, wait 30 seconds before vaping. The wick needs time to re-saturate. Immediate hard draws on a dry wick accelerate coil degradation.

Buying the wrong pod type. P4 and P5 pods are not interchangeable. Double-check your device model before ordering. If you're unsure which device you have, the P4 Stellarc has a curved animated screen; the P5 GlassRock has a transparent body with a simple smart screen.

Storing pods in extreme heat. Leaving pods in a hot car or in direct sunlight degrades the e-liquid and can warp the silicone seals. Store unused pods at room temperature in a dark location.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are P4 Stellarc and P5 GlassRock pods interchangeable?

No. Each device uses its own pod design. Stellarc pods only fit the P4 battery; GlassRock pods only fit the P5 battery. The flavors and nicotine content are identical across both — only the hardware differs.

How many times can I refill a JNR pod?

Typically 3–4 refills before coil degradation makes the flavor unacceptable. Each refill cycle uses one 10mL bottle. The kit includes enough bottles for 2 refills beyond what's pre-loaded in the pod.

Can I switch flavors mid-pod?

You can swap to a different pod at any time — the magnetic connection makes it instant. However, you can't change the flavor inside a pod that's already been filled. To use a different flavor, you need a different pod.

How long does a replacement pod last?

At moderate use (200–300 puffs/day), one pod lasts approximately 3–4 weeks before the coil degrades. The included 32mL of e-liquid is sufficient for the pod's entire usable lifespan.

Do replacement pods come with e-liquid?

Yes. Each replacement pod includes the pre-filled pod (12mL) plus two 10mL refill bottles (20mL), totaling 32mL of e-liquid — enough for the full pod lifespan.
