Choosing your first vape kit can be a daunting experience for new starters, with all the new technology, terms and acronyms floating about - not to mention the amount of variety, it's easy to get stuck in a prison of choice or worry about whether you’ve made the right one. If you're completely new to vaping and need help understanding the basics first, check out our comprehensive beginner's guide to vaping before choosing your kit.
We’ve taken the hassle out of it all by compiling a list of the 10 best starter vape kits for 2025. These kits include refillable vape kits and prefilled pod vape kits, and are all excellent choices if you're new to vaping or trying to find a replacement for disposables. We’ll give you the run down of what they and why we love them.
Refillable Pod Kits
Refillable Pod kits are ideal for beginners, their straightforward design is easy to get to grips with; requiring very little setup or knowledge to get you going. In fact they are so convenient that they’ve become the go-to kits for seasoned vapers as well. They are low cost and require only that you fill the pod with your favourite e-liquid to get going. There is a variety ranging from fill-and-go options to ones with slightly more customisation features.
1. Uwell Caliburn G3 Lite
The Caliburn G3 Lite is UWELL's best in this series to date. It finally delivers a larger 1200mAh battery and also it feels more solidly made. It puts out 5-25W of power and delivers one of the smoothest and flavourful draws you'll find in a refillable pod vape.
The 2ml pods sit in a large clear chamber that gives you full view of the inside of your pod and how much vape juice you have left. The pods are easily refilled by lifting off the tapered mouthpiece and the pod features a built in coil design. This means that to replace your coil, you simply need to pull out the pod and push in a new one. By rotating the pod you can adjust your airflow from a loose RDL to a tight MTL draw.
You can easily puff on the device to activate the kit. Considering the cost of this device, it's ease of use and performance, we think the Caliburn G3 Lite easily deserves top spot for the best refillable starter kit.
