About PIXL Vape
PIXL is a UK vape brand known for high puff counts, bold flavours, and a Boost Mode feature that increases vapour output at the press of a button. They built their reputation with the PIXL 6000 disposable, which was among the most popular big-puff disposables in the UK before the June 2025 ban. The current range, the PIXL 8000 and PIXL DUO 12, carries those same flavour profiles and the same Boost Mode into rechargeable, replaceable-pod devices that are legal under the disposable ban.
All PIXL devices are designed for MTL (mouth-to-lung) vaping and use 20mg nicotine salt for smooth, fast-absorbing nicotine delivery. PIXL also produce their own range of nic salt e-liquids, using the same flavours as their pod kits in 10ml bottles for use in any MTL pod kit.
The PIXL Range
The PIXL 8000 is a single-flavour prefilled pod kit giving up to 8,000 puffs per pod refill. Each kit comes with a 2ml prefilled pod and a 10ml refill container, which automatically tops up the pod as you vape. 850mAh rechargeable battery, TFT display showing battery percentage and e-liquid level, Boost Mode on double-click, and USB-C charging. 42 flavours available. Replacement pod refill packs are available separately at £7.99.
The PIXL DUO 12 holds two flavours in one device. Each kit contains two 1ml prefilled pods and two 5ml refill containers, giving up to 6,000 puffs in total (approximately 3,000 per flavour side). Switch between flavours instantly by rotating the mouthpiece, which PIXL call Next Gen Twist Tech. 850mAh rechargeable battery, TFT display, Boost Mode, and USB-C charging (cable not included). 21 editions, each a curated pair of two complementary flavours. Replacement pod packs are available separately at £6.99.
PIXL Nic Salts are 10ml bottles in the same flavours as the pod kits. Available in 10mg and 20mg strengths. 50/50 VG/PG, compatible with any MTL pod kit. The nic salt range is the most cost-effective way to vape PIXL flavours if you already own a refillable MTL device.

Vapers who want the most puffs from one flavour |
Vapers who want variety or like switching flavours |
If you know your flavour and want the longest run between pod changes, the PIXL 8000 is the right choice. If you like having something different for morning and evening or want to try two flavour styles at once, the PIXL DUO 12 is the better fit. If you already own a MTL kit and just want the PIXL flavours in bottle form, go for the PIXL Nic Salts.
Why PIXL Instead of a Disposable?
Until June 2025, high-puff disposable vapes were the most popular category in the UK. The PIXL 6000 was one of the best-selling devices in that category. When the disposable ban came into force, PIXL built the 8000 and DUO 12 as direct replacements: same flavours, same Boost Mode, same ease of use, but with a rechargeable battery and a replaceable pod rather than a device that goes in the bin.
The practical difference for the vaper is cost and waste. One PIXL 8000 kit at £12.99, followed by £7.99 pod refills, works out significantly cheaper per puff than buying a new disposable bar every time. The device itself lasts indefinitely as long as the battery holds charge.
PIXL Vape FAQs
What is the difference between the PIXL 8000 and the PIXL DUO 12?
The PIXL 8000 holds one flavour per device and gives up to 8,000 puffs from a 2ml pod and 10ml refill container. It costs £12.99 per kit and offers 42 individual flavour options. The PIXL DUO 12 holds two flavours in one device, switchable by rotating the mouthpiece, and gives up to 6,000 puffs in total (roughly 3,000 per flavour). It costs £8.99 per kit. Both use 20mg nic salt, both have Boost Mode, and both recharge via USB-C.
How many puffs does the PIXL DUO 12 give?
Up to 6,000 puffs in total, split approximately equally between its two flavour sides, so around 3,000 puffs per flavour. Each flavour side has its own 1ml prefilled pod and 5ml refill container. The "12" in the name refers to the 12ml total e-liquid capacity, not the puff count.
Do PIXL pod refills work across both devices?
No. PIXL 8000 pod refill packs are only compatible with the PIXL 8000 battery device. PIXL DUO 12 pod packs are only compatible with the PIXL DUO 12 battery device. The two systems are not interchangeable.
What is Boost Mode?
Boost Mode increases the power output of the device, producing more vapour and a more intense flavour hit. On the PIXL 8000, it is activated by double-clicking the side button. On the PIXL DUO 12, it is activated with a single button press. Both devices confirm Boost Mode is active on their display screens. Using Boost Mode draws down the battery faster than standard mode.
What is the difference between PIXL pod kits and PIXL Nic Salts?
PIXL pod kits (the 8000 and DUO 12) are complete devices that include the battery, pod, and e-liquid. They are self-contained and require no separate e-liquid. PIXL Nic Salts are 10ml e-liquid bottles for use in any refillable MTL pod kit. The flavours are the same across both formats. Nic salts are the more cost-effective option if you already own a compatible device.
Are PIXL devices compliant with the UK disposable vape ban?
Yes. The PIXL 8000 and PIXL DUO 12 are prefilled pod kits, not disposables. Both use a rechargeable battery device with replaceable pod refills, which meets the requirements introduced under the UK disposable vape ban that came into force in June 2025. Both devices are TPD compliant.
