Geekvape Soul 2 | pod kit specs and best e-liquid

The Geekvape Soul 2 is a refillable pod kit, the second generation of the Soul. Its specification fits in a few lines, but one question comes up as soon as it is unboxed, especially with a bottle of home-mixed liquid waiting on the bench. The liquid decides whether the wick stays fed, whether the flavour comes through and how long each pod lasts. Ratio, nicotine type and concentrate strength all need settling before the first drop goes in.

Geekvape Soul 2, what the specification says

The figures for the Geekvape Soul 2 match from one retailer listing to the next (Kumulus Vape, Vapostore), and Geekvape’s own page confirms the battery and the wattage.

Retail listings outside the UK quote a 4 ml pod. In the UK, refillable tanks and pods are limited to 2 ml, so the version sold here holds 2 ml. With that small a pod, a poorly chosen liquid shows quickly, since you refill often and every fill goes through the same wick. That is why the rest of this guide deals with the liquid, the real setting to get right on this kit.

Which e-liquid to use in the Geekvape Soul 2

For the 1.0 ohm pod, use a 50/50 liquid or a nic salt. For the 0.6 ohm pod, stay with 50/50, or move to 40/60 if the vapour feels too thin. The rule is simple. The lower the resistance and the higher the wattage, the thicker the liquid a pod can cope with.

The 50/50 or nic salt advice for the 1.0 ohm pod appears on a retailer listing. The rest reflects common practice with small pod wicks. A 30/70 or a max VG liquid is best avoided, because it moves too slowly through the cotton of a pod.

The right PG/VG ratio for each Geekvape Soul 2 pod

Propylene glycol (PG) is thin and carries flavour well, while vegetable glycerine (VG) is thick and produces vapour. In a pod kit, the ratio mostly controls how fast liquid reaches the coil. The two pods in the box do not behave in the same way.

Pod	Stated wattage	Draw	Usual ratio
Soul V2 1.0 ohm	5 to 15 W	tight	50/50 or nic salt
Soul V2 0.6 ohm	15 to 30 W	restricted lung	50/50 to 40/60

The 1.0 ohm pod, thin liquid first

At low wattage, the coil uses little liquid per puff, but the wick has to refill quickly between draws. A 50/50 flows easily and keeps the flavour crisp. Nic salt liquids, often sold as 50/50, were designed for this kind of draw. Above 60% VG, a dry taste becomes more likely on a coil of this type.

The 0.6 ohm pod, a little more glycerine

Warmer and thirstier for liquid, the 0.6 ohm vaporises more with each draw. A 40/60 gives a rounder vapour without starving the cotton, as long as you stay inside the 15 to 30 W window. Near the top of that window, a 50/50 leaves less risk of a dry wick. Our guide to choosing a DIY base and its PG/VG ratio explains the mechanism for any recipe.

Nic salt or freebase in the Soul 2

The Soul 2 takes both, and the difference comes down to the draw more than to the device.

Nicotine salts pair nicotine with an acid and were developed for tight-draw pods with coils of 1.0 ohm or more. Freebase nicotine suits both pods and is often preferred in the 0.6 ohm, whose more open draw moves more vapour. Either way, nicotine-containing e-liquid in the UK is capped at 20 mg/ml and sold in bottles of no more than 10 ml. The strength remains a personal choice that the kit itself does not settle.

Mixing DIY liquid for the Geekvape Soul 2 without gunking the pod

Home-mixed liquid works well in the Geekvape Soul 2, provided the recipe is built for a small pod whose coil cannot be replaced on its own. Three settings matter more than the rest.

A sensible flavour percentage

On a pod coil, an overdosed concentrate saturates the cotton quickly. Stay at the lower end of the range the flavour maker suggests, and add a point after tasting if needed. Dessert and sweet recipes rich in caramel or cream flavours tend to gunk the wick faster than fruit or menthol ones. If you mix one, simply expect to change pods more often.

The sums for 10 and 30 ml

Always calculate on the final volume. With a concentrate used at 10%, these are the volumes to measure.

For 10 ml, 1 ml of concentrate and 9 ml of base.
For 30 ml, 3 ml of concentrate and 27 ml of base.

For 30 ml at 3 mg/ml, you need 90 mg of nicotine, which is 4.5 ml of 20 mg/ml nicotine shot. The recipe becomes 3 ml of concentrate, 4.5 ml of nicotine shot and 22.5 ml of base. The shot comes out of the base, never out of the concentrate. To see what each bottle actually holds, read what the concentrate inside a DIY kit really contains.

A finished steep before filling

A mix that is too young tastes hollow, and the pod tends to get the blame. Let the liquid steep for the time its flavour needs before filling, tasting a small amount first. The example of Heisenberg concentrate and its steep time shows how that change can be read.

Filling the pod without flooding the coil

Side filling makes the job easier, but a few precautions prevent leaks and burnt hits. Remove the pod, open the side port and pour slowly against the inner wall, stopping short of the brim to leave a small air gap. Close it before clicking the pod back into the device.

With a fresh pod, give the cotton a few minutes to soak before the first puff, then start at the bottom of the wattage window. The device reads the fitted coil and shows its value on screen, so you can check at a glance that the wattage sits inside the stated range.

FAQ

Five questions come up often when choosing a liquid for this kit, beyond ratio and nicotine type.

Does the Soul 2 take pods from the original Soul?

Yes. Retail listings state that first-generation Soul pods fit the Soul 2. The same ratio rules then apply according to their resistance.

Can a max VG liquid go in the pod?

It is not advisable. Pure glycerine is too thick for the wick of a pod, and the cotton may dry out between puffs. Keep at least 40% propylene glycol.

Can I switch flavours without changing pods?

Yes, but the cotton holds a trace of the previous recipe for a few fills. Going from a dessert flavour to a fruit one often leaves an aftertaste. To compare two DIY recipes, one pod per flavour works better.

Why does the liquid taste burnt?

Three causes usually come up, wattage above the pod’s window, a liquid too rich in glycerine for the coil, or an ageing pod gunked by a sweet recipe. Start by lowering the wattage, then change ratio.

Does the Soul 2 suit menthol or cooling liquids?

Yes, these recipes sit well with both pods and tend to gunk the cotton less than dessert flavours. Cooling additives should be measured carefully, as their intensity can mask the rest of the recipe.

Geekvape Soul 2, matching the liquid to the pod

The right e-liquid follows from the pod you fit. A 50/50 or a nic salt for the 1.0 ohm, a 50/50 to 40/60 for the 0.6 ohm, and nothing too thick. In DIY, a measured flavour percentage and a full steep keep you from blaming the hardware for the wrong reason.

These habits hold for many pod kits, and they help a Geekvape Soul 2 deliver what a good concentrate can really offer.
