Aspire Gotek Pro 2 Pod Kit

Introduction

Aspire Gotek Pro 2 Pod Kit: refillable MTL and restricted DTL pod kit, 2500mAh battery, three power levels, screen, £17.99. Best for ex-smokers and former disposable users who want cheap pods and a day or two per charge. Not ideal if you want a big tank or a fire button.

Key Facts

• The Aspire Gotek Pro 2 has a built-in 2500mAh battery, the largest in the Gotek range.
• The Aspire Gotek Pro 2 charges over USB-C at up to 2A, double the original Gotek Pro.
• The Aspire Gotek Pro 2 fits every Gotek series pod, refillable or prefilled.
• The Aspire Gotek Pro 2 box does not include a USB-C cable.

The Aspire Gotek Pro 2 Pod Kit is the 2026 update to the Gotek Pro that Planet of the Vapes forum owners kept for its all-day battery and tight draw. Aspire kept the auto-draw, side fill and adjustable airflow, then added a 2500mAh cell, 2A charging, a screen and three power levels. Pick MTL (a tight, cigarette-like pull) on the 0.8Ω pod or restricted DTL on the 0.6Ω pod. VOS price: £17.99 against a £19.99 RRP.

Key Specs Customers Check

• Battery: 2500mAh built-in. A full day for most, nearer two for light MTL use.
• Charging: USB-C, 2A max. Aspire publishes no charge time; retailer "90 minute" claims are estimates.
• Power: Eco, Normal, Max. Aspire publishes no watt figures; Max adds warmth, Eco stretches battery.
• Pod: Gotek V2 0.8Ω mesh, 2ml TPD. The coil is built in; you swap the whole pod.
• Airflow: adjustable bottom slider. Closing it tightens the draw and extends pod life.
• Size: 91 x 48 x 21mm, aluminium alloy. Six colours: Black, Blue, Gunmetal, Purple, Rose Gold, Silver.

Pick Your Inhale: MTL or Restricted DTL

MTL draws vapour into the mouth, then the lungs, like a cigarette. DTL goes straight to the lungs with more air. This kit covers MTL and restricted DTL, not cloud chasing.

• 0.8Ω pod (in the box): MTL. Airflow half-closed, Eco or Normal, 50/50 nic salt. Closest to a disposable.
• 0.6Ω pod: restricted DTL. Airflow open, Normal or Max, 50/50 or 60/40 liquid. More flavour, quicker on liquid.

Versus the Uwell Caliburn G3, the Gotek Pro 2 has a far bigger battery and cheaper pods but no fire button.

Key Features

• 2500mAh battery: 1000mAh more than the original Pro, double the X3.
• 2A USB-C charging: double the first Pro's 1A input, its most criticised weakness on forums.
• Three power levels: the first Gotek Pro had none.
• Side fill: lift a silicone plug and fill; the upgrade the only verified Pro 2 owner review singled out.

Pods and E-Liquid Pairing

Use 50/50 e-liquid (half VG, half PG) in both pods; thick 70/30 shortfill burns the small mesh. Nic salt, a smoother nicotine that absorbs faster, is the natural MTL match, and Vape Club reviewers of Gotek pods say pods only last well on 50/50. Strength: 20mg for a 20-a-day smoker, 10mg for lighter smokers, 5 to 6mg freebase on the 0.6Ω pod. Shop 10ml nic salts and 50/50 e-liquids.

Battery, Pod Life and Running Cost

• Battery: about a day, two days on Eco with the 0.8Ω pod. The Caliburn G3 has 900mAh.
• Pod life: forum owners and Vape Club reviewers most often report 2 weeks per pod, 1 week for heavy use.
• Weekly cost: two 10ml bottles from £2.59 plus one Gotek replacement pod at £2.25 is under £8. The same 20ml in prefilled pods costs £45 to £60.

Compatibility and Refills

This is the Gotek Pro 2 (Pro II), not the original Gotek Pro (1500mAh, no modes) or the Gotek X3 (1200mAh). All share one pod format: V2 pods (0.6Ω and 0.8Ω, upgraded mesh) are the new standard and older Gotek 0.6Ω, 0.8Ω and 1.0Ω prefilled pods fit too. One trap: the 0.6Ω pod needs more power than the Gotek X can give. Aspire Flexus and Favostix pods do not fit.

Best Colours

Black and Gunmetal are the steady Gotek sellers for a discreet pocket carry or a classic look. Silver hides fingerprints best, a known gripe on the original Pro. Blue, Purple and Rose Gold are for vapers who want to stand out.

How to Set Up

1. Press the button five times to switch on; charge fully with your own USB-C cable.
2. Lift the pod's side plug, fill with 50/50 liquid to just below the max line, push the plug back firmly.
3. Stand the pod upright for 5 minutes so the mesh soaks; skipping this causes a burnt first puff.
4. Click the pod in, press the button three times to pick Eco, Normal or Max, set the airflow and draw gently.

How to Make It Last Longer

• Stay on 50/50 liquids; very sweet, dark juices clog mesh pods in days, and do not chain vape past the 6-second cut-off.
• Keep the airflow slightly closed on the 0.8Ω pod for longer pod life.
• Refill at a quarter full and change the pod when flavour fades.

Price Comparison

As of 2 October 2026, the Gotek Pro 2 is £19.99 at Vape Club and Ecigone and £18.99 at Ecigwizard, all listed as coming soon or out of stock. VOS sells it at £17.99 in stock. In the Aspire range, the Gotek X3 is £11.99 with half the battery, so the extra £6 buys 2500mAh, a screen and power modes on the same pods.

What's in the Box

Aspire Gotek Pro 2 FAQ

Is the Aspire Gotek Pro 2 good?

Yes, for MTL vapers who put battery life first. It fixes the two forum complaints about the original Pro: slow charging and no power control, and keeps the tight draw.

How long does the Gotek Pro 2 battery last?

About a day for an average vaper, up to two days on Eco with the 0.8Ω pod.

How long do Aspire Gotek pods last?

Around 2 weeks on the 0.8Ω pod with 50/50 nic salt, 1 week for heavy use or the 0.6Ω pod. Sweet, thick liquids kill pods in days.

Which Gotek is the best?

The Gotek Pro 2: biggest battery, fastest charging, the only Gotek with a screen and three power levels. The X3 is the budget pick.

Can I use old Gotek pods in the Gotek Pro 2?

Yes. Aspire states it takes the full Gotek series: original 0.6Ω and 0.8Ω refillables, 1.0Ω prefilled and the new V2 pods.

Why does my Gotek taste burnt?

A pod that was not primed or has run dry. Fill, wait 5 minutes, start on Eco. A new pod that crackles and pops has damaged mesh; swap it.

Why is my Gotek not firing?

Check the battery, reseat the pod, then blow gently into the bottom air intake to clear condensation from the auto-draw sensor. Fully open airflow can also make it stutter, so close it a notch.

Is this a good replacement for a disposable vape?

Yes. The 0.8Ω pod gives the same tight draw and nic salt hit, lasts far longer per charge and costs under £8 a week. See VOS's rechargeable vapes and best MTL vape kits.
