Aspire Gotek Pro 2 Kit and Gotek Pods Guide: Specs, Pods and Settings

The Aspire Gotek Pro 2 is a refillable pod kit with a built-in 2500mAh battery, three power levels and a segment display, and it takes the same Gotek pods as the rest of Aspire's Gotek range. In the UK it ships with a 2ml, 0.8 ohm Gotek Pod V2 for a mouth-to-lung (MTL) draw. If you are weighing it up against the original Gotek Pro or other refillable pod kits, the main questions are what has changed, which pods fit and how the power settings work.

This guide covers the verified specifications, the differences from the first Gotek Pro, Gotek pod compatibility and resistances, how to set the kit up, which e-liquids suit it, and the UK rules that apply to pod kits like this one.

What Is the Aspire Gotek Pro 2?

The Gotek Pro 2, which Aspire also calls the Gotek Pro II, is the second version of the Gotek Pro pod system. Aspire describes it as an evolution rather than a reinvention: it keeps the boxy metal shape and Gotek pod fitting, then adds a larger battery, selectable power levels, a display and the improved Gotek Pod V2. Aspire's own launch article, Gotek Pro II: A Familiar Favourite, Reimagined, is the main source for the specifications below.

It is a refillable system, so you fill the pod with your own e-liquid and replace the pod when the built-in coil wears out. That makes it different from prefilled pod kits, where the pods arrive already filled and sealed.

Aspire Gotek Pro 2 Specifications

Aspire also sells a non-UK "standard" version with a 4.5ml, 0.6 ohm pod. That larger pod is not the UK version. Nicotine-containing tanks and pods sold in the UK are limited to 2ml, so look for the 2ml TPD pod.

Gotek Pro 2 vs Original Gotek Pro

The first Aspire Gotek Pro is still a popular kit, so it is worth knowing what the second version adds. The table compares the two using Aspire's figures for the Pro 2 and the Planet of the Vapes review for the original.

The headline difference is battery size. A 2500mAh cell gives noticeably more time between charges than 1500mAh at the same setting, though real-world battery life depends on how often you vape and which power level you use. The second change is control: the original Gotek Pro runs at a fixed output, while the Pro 2 lets you trade battery life against vapour and flavour intensity.

Gotek Pods Explained: Compatibility and Resistances

Aspire states that the Gotek Pro 2 works with the Gotek pod range, including 0.6 ohm and 0.8 ohm refillable pods and 1.0 ohm prefilled pods. All Gotek pods share the same fitting, so you are not tied to the pod that came in the box.

Gotek Pod V2

The Gotek Pod V2 is the newer refillable pod supplied with the Gotek Pro 2. Aspire says it uses an upgraded mesh coil designed to heat faster and improve flavour. The UK version holds 2ml and is rated at 0.8 ohm.

Original Gotek refillable pods

The original Aspire Gotek replacement pods are side-fill refillable pods with a built-in coil, sold in packs of two. They come in 0.8 ohm for a tighter MTL draw and 0.6 ohm for a looser restricted direct-to-lung (RDL) draw. They also fit the Gotek X, Gotek Nano and Gotek Pro.

Which resistance should you use?

• 0.8 ohm: a tighter, cigarette-style MTL draw that suits nic salts at 10mg or 20mg and lower power settings. It is also kinder on battery life.
• 0.6 ohm: a looser draw and more vapour. It pairs better with lower nicotine strengths and the NOR or MAX setting.

If you are unsure about MTL and RDL styles, start with the 0.8 ohm pod supplied in the box and adjust the airflow before changing pods.

How to Set Up the Aspire Gotek Pro 2

1. Charge first. Use a USB Type-C cable and a suitable charger. Aspire lists charging at up to 2A. Aspire's box contents list does not include a charging cable, so you may need your own.
2. Fill the pod. Remove the pod, open the side filling port and fill with e-liquid, stopping below the maximum line. Close the port firmly.
3. Prime the coil. Leave a newly filled pod to stand for a few minutes so the cotton soaks fully. Vaping a dry coil is the most common cause of a burnt taste.
4. Insert the pod. Push it into the device until it seats. The kit is draw-activated, so just inhale to vape.
5. Choose a power level. Triple-click the button to cycle through ECO, NOR and MAX. The display shows the current level.
6. Set the airflow. Slide the airflow control at the base. Closed gives a tighter MTL draw, open gives a looser one.

Start on ECO or NOR with a fresh pod, then move up only if the flavour feels weak. Running a 0.8 ohm pod on MAX with a thicker liquid can shorten coil life.

Which E-Liquids Suit the Gotek Pro 2?

Like most small pod systems, the Gotek Pro 2 is designed for thinner liquids. Nic salt e-liquids and 50/50 VG/PG liquids wick well through the small coil, and retailers advise against high-VG shortfills in Gotek pods. Nic salts are the usual choice for MTL vaping on the 0.8 ohm pod because they come in 10mg and 20mg strengths in 10ml bottles. If you want to compare popular 10ml options, see our guide to bar-style nic salts. For help with strength, read choosing your e-liquid nicotine level.

Strengths and Limitations

Strengths

• Large 2500mAh battery for a compact pod kit.
• Three power levels and a display, which the original Gotek Pro lacked.
• Uses the established Gotek pod fitting, so original Gotek pods remain usable.
• Faster Type-C charging, up to 2A.

Limitations

• Aspire does not publish wattage figures, so you cannot set an exact output.
• Larger and heavier than pen-style kits because of the bigger battery and metal body.
• Built for MTL and light RDL vaping, not for high-VG or cloud-focused use.

How It Compares With Other Refillable Pod Kits

The Gotek Pro 2 sits alongside other compact refillable kits such as the Vaporesso XROS 6 and OXVA Xlim 4. Pen-style kits like these are slimmer, while the Gotek Pro 2's boxy shape makes room for a larger battery. If you want to compare those ranges in detail, read our Vaporesso XROS comparison and OXVA pod kits comparison. You can also browse the full Aspire range.

UK Rules for Pod Kits Like the Gotek Pro 2

• Nicotine-containing pods and tanks are limited to 2ml, nicotine e-liquid bottles to 10ml and nicotine strength to 20mg/ml.
• Since 29 October 2026, under the Tobacco and Vapes Act 2026, it is illegal to sell any vaping product to anyone under 18, and adults must not buy vapes on behalf of under-18s.
• Vaping Products Duty of £2.20 per 10ml has applied to vaping liquids since 1 October 2026. All vaping products must carry a duty stamp from 1 April 2027.
• Rechargeable, refillable kits such as the Gotek Pro 2 are not affected by the single-use vape ban that started on 1 June 2025.
• Pod kits contain lithium-ion batteries and must not go in household bins. Use a vape or electrical recycling point; Recycle Your Electricals lists local options.

Which Gotek Setup Should You Choose?

• You want the longest time between charges in the Gotek range: the Aspire Gotek Pro 2 with its 2500mAh battery.
• You want a simple fixed-output kit: the original Gotek Pro.
• You want something smaller: the Gotek X, Gotek S or Gotek Nano, which use the same pod family. Check the 0.6 ohm pod is supported on smaller models before buying.
• You already own Gotek pods: any of the above, since the fitting is shared across the range.

Frequently Asked Questions

What battery does the Aspire Gotek Pro 2 have?

The Aspire Gotek Pro 2 has a built-in 2500mAh battery. That is 1000mAh more than the original Gotek Pro's 1500mAh battery. It charges through a USB Type-C port at up to 2A.

Do old Gotek pods fit the Gotek Pro 2?

Yes. Aspire states the Gotek Pro 2 works with the Gotek pod range, including the original 0.6 ohm and 0.8 ohm refillable pods, the newer Gotek Pod V2 and 1.0 ohm prefilled Gotek pods.

What is the difference between Gotek pods and Gotek Pod V2?

Both share the same fitting and side-fill design. The Gotek Pod V2 is the newer version supplied with the Gotek Pro 2 and uses what Aspire describes as an upgraded mesh coil for faster heating and better flavour.

How do you change the power level on the Gotek Pro 2?

Triple-click the button to cycle between ECO, NOR and MAX. The segment display shows which level is active. ECO saves battery, while MAX gives stronger flavour and vapour and uses more power.

Is the Gotek Pro 2 MTL or RDL?

It is mainly an MTL kit. The 0.8 ohm pod supplied in the UK box gives a tight draw, and the adjustable airflow can loosen it. A 0.6 ohm Gotek pod gives a looser restricted direct-to-lung draw.

Can I use shortfills in the Gotek Pro 2?

High-VG shortfills are not recommended. The small coils in Gotek pods wick thinner liquids best, so nic salts and 50/50 VG/PG e-liquids are the better match.

How long do Gotek pods last?

It varies with how much you vape, the liquid you use and the power level. Sweeter liquids and higher power wear coils faster. Replace the pod when the flavour fades or a burnt taste persists after refilling.

Is the Gotek Pro 2 legal in the UK?

Yes, the UK version with the 2ml pod complies with the 2ml capacity limit. It is rechargeable and refillable, so it is not affected by the single-use vape ban. It can only be sold to adults aged 18 and over.

Does the Gotek Pro 2 have a display?

Yes. It has a segment display that shows battery status, charging progress and the selected power level. The original Gotek Pro has no screen and uses an LED for a low-battery warning.

Final Verdict

The Aspire Gotek Pro 2 is a sensible upgrade over the original Gotek Pro rather than a completely new kit. The verified changes are a larger 2500mAh battery, ECO, NOR and MAX power levels, a segment display and faster 2A Type-C charging, all while keeping the familiar Gotek pod fitting. In the UK it comes with a 2ml, 0.8 ohm Gotek Pod V2 aimed at MTL vaping with nic salts or 50/50 liquids, and 0.6 ohm pods give a looser draw if you want one. Its limitations are the lack of published wattage figures and a chunkier shape than pen-style kits. If you already use Gotek pods and want more battery life and control, it is the natural next step. Browse refillable pods to check which spares you need.

This product contains nicotine, which is a highly addictive substance. For adults aged 18 and over only.
