Vape Kits

How to choose a vape kit

When looking to purchase an e-cigarette, there are several things you should consider.

Firstly, think about what you want to get out of your vaping experience. If you are looking to mimic the smoking experience as closely as possible, you may want to choose a pod or closed system kit.

For those new to vaping or looking for a no-hassle solution, a simple pod-style MTL starter vape kit is best, as these kits are the easiest to use. They only require you to choose your preferred flavour of pre-filled e-liquid pod, and they give a similar draw and nicotine hit to that of a cigarette.

If, on the other hand, you want a bespoke vape experience and access to a broader range of e-liquid flavours, you should look at advanced vape kits, as these devices will allow you to use a DTL vaping style and also customise the settings of the device for a more intense flavour and dense vapour clouds.

Also worth considering is how much you have to spend. Choosing the cheapest vape kits is not always the best idea; looking for one within your price range that offers both performance and reliability is recommended. This should be easy with the many options we have available.

From a backup pocket-sized kit to a powerful high-end vape device in the latest colours and styles, all are available through our online vape store, with free UK delivery also available.

A quick guide to vape kit styles

Starter Kits

Vaporisers have various moving parts that need to be replaced or configured, which can confuse inexperienced vapers. This is where vape starter kits come in. All-in-one vape starter kits include everything you need to get going. You don't have to worry about choosing the appropriate batteries, coils, or tanks and configuring the device. Most kits also include a charger or recharging cable in the bundle.

Pre-filled / Closed System Pod Kits

Pre-filled pod kits are vape kits that utilise 'pre-filled' vape pods. With these kits, you choose a compatible pod in the flavour you prefer, attach it to your kit, use it until depleted, and then dispose of the pod so you can add another. There's no e-liquid to top up or coils to change.

As well as being popular with vape newcomers, these devices are popular with those moving up from disposable vapes as they provide a similar level of convenience, an MTL (mouth-to-lung) vape style, and the pods usually contain identical e-liquids and flavours to those in disposables.

Re-fillable / Open Pod Kits

Re-fillable vape kits are popular with users who prefer the flexibility of adding alternative e-liquids to their device without being tied to a particular range or brand. As the refillable pods for these kits have built-in coils, they can't be used indefinitely and must be replaced after the coil performance drops off.

Advanced Vape Kits

Advanced vape kits (often referred to as Sub-ohm vape kits) offer the most customisation options of all, allowing the user to tailor their vaping experience to their exact preference.

These versatile kits allow for adjustment to power and airflow settings for a DTL (direct-to-lung) vaping style and for choosing a coil for a specific e-liquid mix ratio. Because of their power, Sub-ohm kits are also easily configured to produce huge clouds of thick, flavoursome vapour!

It should be noted, however, that the extra configuration options of these kits are best suited to advanced vapers, and setup may be challenging for some without prior vaping experience or confidence.

Mod Kits

Mod kits are heavily customisable vapes that contain 'Mods' or 'Box Mods' - powerful replaceable batteries with a higher, longer-lasting power output than most others. These kits are less popular nowadays because they are bulky and less convenient than their more straightforward, smaller modern counterparts.
