Why is it called a pod if you can add juice and replace the coils?

You sound like may be having anger management issues. Sit back, have a cup of coffee, and you can find the answers on youtube...
Take care, friend....

Tried to figure out what a csucker is...was that a new tank you bought?
I have one of those csuckers. The performance is flawless.
I've asked myself the same question about what differentiates a pod from a non-pod. Don't care much though, I'm happy with my gear which I'm pretty sure is 100% pod-free.
I googled TPD. It's the current European vaping regs.
● E-cigarette tanks are restricted to a capacity of no more than 2ml.
● Eliquid containing nicotine is restricted to a maximum container size of 10ml.
● Eliquids are restricted to a maximum nicotine strength of 20mg/ml.
● Nicotine-containing products, and their packaging, is to be child-proof and tamper-evident.
● Certain ingredients are banned, including colourings, caffeine, and taurine
● All e cigarette products are subject to labelling requirements and warnings (e.g. “This product contains nicotine which is a highly addictive substance.”)
● All e-cigarette products and eliquids are to be approved by the MHRA before they can be sold.
As we’ve noted, there is of course greater legislative depth to TPD, but this is really the core, need-to-know info that will affect your day-to-day experience as an ecigarette and vaping consumer.

The Main TPD Vaping Rules
At a glance, though, these are the main TPD vaping rules you should be aware of:● E-cigarette tanks are restricted to a capacity of no more than 2ml.
● Eliquid containing nicotine is restricted to a maximum container size of 10ml.
● Eliquids are restricted to a maximum nicotine strength of 20mg/ml.
● Nicotine-containing products, and their packaging, is to be child-proof and tamper-evident.
● Certain ingredients are banned, including colourings, caffeine, and taurine
● All e cigarette products are subject to labelling requirements and warnings (e.g. “This product contains nicotine which is a highly addictive substance.”)
● All e-cigarette products and eliquids are to be approved by the MHRA before they can be sold.

Well summarised - you beat me to it Mick!
TPD applies to all EU countries and also to the UK which was then an EU Member,
For myself pod means plastic therefore lighter weight. Personally I prefer tanks with glass. I also prefer the weightier handfeel glass offers.
I'd go with you there - nearly 10 years ago I started off with plastic atties with silica wicks on Egos - the threads melted and the things tasted what you can only call "plasticy".
The first decent kit I ever got was an iStick 30w with a Nautilus Mini which featured Pyrex glass , - and the difference was like night and day. The day I got that outfit was the day I joined ECF - kinda says it all, really.
I have tried Pods since and really never could take to them - for me it's glass or nothing.

I remember the ego stuff. Forget what the tanks were called but they cracked pretty fast. The cracks spread up the plastic like a spider web and they leaked. There were some juices that cracked the plastic worse than others.
My KFL's have plastic viewing sections and I never noticed a bad taste. They seem to last forever. Vaguely remember discussion of different types of plastic. There was one juice I used that caused the plastic sections to go bad though, The screw parts cracked off from the main part of the window. Might have been rhubarb.
A lot of love for those egos...they started my vaping journey.
Yeah, me too. But didn't get all the way off the smokes until I moved up to those new high tech Pro Tanks and a 20W mod.
In my early days of exploration with plastic atties - tobacco flavours ate thread as did tea, mint and just about every populat flavour of the time like Space Juice, berries, various fruits, candy etc etc etc.
I settled with my Nautilus Minis, pre Brexit ,with unflavoured juice, and now for over 7 years in glass atties it's been 16 strength Menthol Chill, in Naurilus Minis plus Zeniths and Zlides.
No plans to change either and in fact I've just today had yet another litre of that liquid delivered for my stash and am waiting for two IStick 30ws to arrive - right old Stick in the Mud me!!!

STM paired with the istick 30 was what helped me give up the cigs entirely. Did eventually crave more af and power both. I've been blessed along this journey finding sweet spots as I walked down the lovely path.
They started me also. Here's a pic that's maybe a couple months younger than 10+ year so far trip.
