Innokin Foretex Vape Pod Kit

Introduction

Innokin Foretex in short: a refillable, button-free pod kit with a 2000mAh battery, MTL and RDL draws, and a £9.99 price. Best for ex-disposable users who want days between charges. Not ideal for big clouds or wattage tinkering.

Key Facts

• The Innokin Foretex has a 2000mAh built-in battery and a 33W maximum output.
• The UK Foretex pod holds 2ml of e-liquid and refills through a side port.
• Foretex pods come in 0.8Ω, 0.6Ω and 0.4Ω mesh versions.
• The Foretex weighs 58g and measures 114.04 x 27.3 x 16.5mm.
• The Foretex is inhale-activated, with no buttons or menus.

The Innokin Foretex pod kit is a slim refillable vape that costs £9.99 and carries a 2000mAh battery, double the 1000mAh found in many slim pod kits. It gives a tight MTL draw (mouth to lung, like a cigarette) or a looser RDL draw (restricted direct lung, a little airier), set by the airflow slider and the pod fitted. Among Innokin vape kits, this is the simple, long-battery option.

Key Specs Customers Check

• Battery: 2000mAh, built-in. Innokin rates it at up to seven days of light use.
• Output: up to 33W, automatic. The chip sets the power from the pod.
• Pod capacity: 2ml (UK TPD). The 3.5ml pod on overseas listings is not the UK version.
• Pod supplied: one 0.8Ω mesh pod. The coil (the heating part) is built in, so the whole pod is swapped when worn.
• Filling: side fill behind a silicone plug. The pod stays in the device while it is topped up.
• Airflow: adjustable slider. Open for RDL, nearly closed for tight MTL.
• Charging: USB-C at 5V/1A. A full charge from empty takes about two hours.
• Battery light: three-colour LED. White means above 30%, blue 10 to 30%, red below 10%.
• Size and weight: 114.04 x 27.3 x 16.5mm, 58g. Aluminium alloy body with an anti-fingerprint finish.

Innokin Foretex Pod Kit: MTL or RDL?

Both. Ohms (Ω) measure coil resistance: a higher number means a cooler, tighter vape.

• 0.8Ω pod (in the box), 14 to 17W: tight to loose MTL. Closest to a cigarette or disposable.
• 0.6Ω pod, 20 to 25W: loose MTL to RDL, with warmer vapour.
• 0.4Ω dual-mesh pod, 28 to 33W: RDL, the most vapour and the fastest e-liquid use.

A Planet of the Vapes review found the 0.8Ω pod came close to a dry hit on long, hard RDL pulls. The fix is simple: keep the 0.8Ω pod for MTL and fit a 0.6Ω pod for airier draws.

Key Features

• Button-free: inhale to vape. Nothing to switch on, lock or set.
• Smart output: the device reads the pod and sets the wattage, so a wrong setting cannot burn the coil.
• Mesh coils: a mesh coil heats a wider area than a wire one, which gives fuller flavour.

Pods and E-Liquid Pairing

Use 50/50 e-liquid (half VG, half PG). Thicker 70% VG shortfills soak in too slowly and can cause dry hits.

• 0.8Ω pod: nic salts (a smoother form of nicotine). 20mg suits heavier ex-smokers, 10mg lighter ones.
• 0.6Ω pod: 50/50 freebase or nic salt at 6 to 10mg.
• 0.4Ω pod: 3 to 6mg. High-strength salts feel harsh at 30W.

Matching bottles sit in the 50/50 e-liquids range and the 4 for £10 nic salts deal.

Battery, Pod Life and Running Cost

Innokin claims up to seven days per charge with light use. The 0.4Ω pod drains the battery fastest.

• Pod life: typically one to two weeks of daily use. Change it when flavour dulls or tastes burnt.
• Pod cost: Foretex pods come in packs of three, around £6 across UK shops as of October 2026, so about £2 a pod.
• Weekly cost: 10ml of nic salt (£2.50 on the 4 for £10 deal) plus pod wear comes to roughly £3.50 to £4.50 for a light vaper.

Compatibility and Refills

Only Foretex pods fit this kit. Pods from other Innokin devices do not. All three resistances fit the same device, and there is no separate coil to buy.

Colours

Six finishes: Midnight Black, Silver, Sky Blue, Pink, Mint Green and Lavender Purple. Midnight Black and Silver are the most widely stocked in UK shops and suit ex-smokers who want a plain, discreet device. Sky Blue and Pink are easy to spot in a bag. Mint Green and Lavender Purple are the less common picks.

How to Set Up and Make It Last

1. Charge with a USB-C cable. The light is red below 90%, white above it, and goes out when full.
2. Open the silicone plug on the side of the pod and fill with 50/50 e-liquid, leaving a small air gap.
3. Press the plug fully shut and wait at least five minutes so the liquid soaks the coil.

• Refill before the pod runs empty. A dry coil burns.
• Leave a few seconds between puffs.
• Wipe the mouthpiece and pod contacts weekly.
• Charge at blue instead of running the battery flat.

Price Comparison

As of October 2026, Vapestore and Vapouriz both list this kit at £9.99, the same price as here. Among refillable pod kits, it costs about half as much as the Vaporesso XROS 4 (£17.95) or the Uwell Caliburn G3 (£19.99). Versus the Vaporesso XROS 4, the Foretex has double the battery (2000mAh against 1000mAh) but no selectable power modes.

What's in the Box

• 1 x Foretex device (2000mAh)
• 1 x Foretex 0.8Ω pod (2ml)
• 1 x user manual
• USB-C cable: UK listings differ on whether one is in the box. Any standard USB-C cable works.

FAQ

Is the Foretex MTL or RDL?

Both. The 0.8Ω pod in the box gives a tight, cigarette-like MTL draw with the slider nearly closed. Open the slider or fit a 0.6Ω or 0.4Ω pod for a looser RDL draw.

How do I refill the Foretex pod?

1. Leave the pod in the device.
2. Lift the silicone plug on the side of the pod.
3. Fill to just below the top.
4. Press the plug fully shut.

What e-liquid is best for the Foretex?

50/50 e-liquid, either nic salt or freebase. The pods are built for 50% VG liquid, so thick shortfills are not recommended. Pick 10mg or 20mg nic salt for the 0.8Ω pod and lower strengths for the others.

How long do Foretex pods last?

Usually one to two weeks of daily use. Sweet, dark e-liquids clog the coil sooner. Replace the pod when the flavour fades or tastes burnt.

How do I know when the Foretex needs charging?

The front light shows the level on each puff: white is above 30%, blue is 10 to 30%, red is under 10%. A full USB-C charge takes about two hours.

Why is my Foretex leaking or gurgling?

The usual cause is an overfilled pod or a fill plug not pressed in fully. Leave a small air gap, seat the plug firmly and wipe the mouthpiece. If it carries on, change the pod.

Is the Foretex good for switching from disposables?

Yes. It works the same way: no buttons, and a draw-activated MTL pull on the 0.8Ω pod. The difference is refilling the pod from a bottle, which costs less per week than prefilled devices.
