Best vape kits to replace disposable vapes
Prefilled pod kits are the closest alternative to disposable vapes, offering a familiar draw, bold flavours and a rechargeable battery. They use replaceable pods instead of being thrown away after use, making them a simple choice for anyone moving on from disposables.
What's Included?
Most vape kits include the main device, a pod or tank, one or more coils or pods, and a USB charging cable. Some kits are ready to use with prefilled pods, while others need to be filled with e-liquid before you start vaping. Always check the product description, as some advanced kits may require separate batteries or e-liquid.
Battery / Mod
The battery powers the device and affects how long your vape lasts between charges. Some vape kits have a built-in rechargeable battery, while more advanced mod kits may use separate 18650 or 21700 batteries.
Tank / Pod
The tank or pod holds your e-liquid. Some are refillable, while others use prefilled pods that click into place. In the UK, vape tanks and pods are limited to a 2ml e-liquid capacity.
Vape Coil
The coil heats the e-liquid and turns it into vapour. Some coils are built into the pod, while others can be replaced separately. Coil resistance affects the draw, vapour production and the type of e-liquid your kit works best with.
What is included in a vape starter kit?
A vape starter kit usually includes everything you need to set up the device, such as the vape battery, tank or pod, coil or pod, charging cable and spare parts. Most refillable starter kits do not include e-liquid, so you’ll need to choose a suitable vape juice separately. For MTL starter kits, nic salts and 50/50 e-liquids are usually the best match.
For a simpler setup, prefilled pod kits use ready-filled pods and are ideal if you want a rechargeable alternative to disposable vapes.
What is included in a box mod kit?
Box mod kits usually include a higher-powered vape mod, a compatible tank, coils, charging cable and spare parts. They are designed to remove the guesswork from pairing a mod with the right tank and coil. Some box mod kits have built-in batteries, while others require separate 18650 or 21700 batteries, so always check the product details before buying.
Choose by Vaping Style
The right vape kit depends on how you inhale. Some devices are designed for a tighter cigarette-style draw, while others create a looser inhale with more vapour. Choosing the right vaping style will help you find a kit that matches your preferred flavour, vapour production and e-liquid type.
Mouth-to-Lung (MTL)
MTL vaping gives you a tighter draw that feels closer to smoking a cigarette. It works best with higher-resistance coils and is usually paired with nic salts or 50/50 e-liquids.
Restricted Direct-to-Lung (RDTL)
RDTL vaping offers a slightly airier inhale than MTL, with more vapour while still keeping some resistance. It suits mid-range coils and works with selected 50/50 or higher-VG e-liquids, depending on the device.
Direct-to-Lung (DTL)
DTL vaping gives you an open, airy inhale with bigger vapour production. It is designed for sub-ohm kits, lower-resistance coils, higher wattage and high-VG e-liquids with lower nicotine strengths.
| Feature | MTL | RDTL | DTL |
|---|---|---|---|
| Draw Style | Tight | Balanced | Airy |
| Coil Resistance | 0.8Ω–1.8Ω | 0.5Ω–0.8Ω | <0.5Ω |
| Vapour Production | Low | Medium | High |
| Best E-Liquid | 50/50, Nic Salt | 50/50 or High-VG | High-VG Shortfill |
| Best For | Beginners, ex-smokers | More flavour and vapour | Bigger clouds and control |

How to Choose the Right Vape Kit
Choosing the right vape kit comes down to how you want to vape day to day. Think about how much maintenance you’re comfortable with, the type of e-liquid you want to use, how often you vape and whether you prefer a compact device or something with more power and control.
01
Battery capacity
Battery capacity is measured in mAh. A larger battery will usually last longer between charges, making it a better choice if you vape regularly throughout the day. Smaller kits are more pocket-friendly, but may need charging more often.
02
Ease of use vs control
Simple vape kits are often inhale-activated with fixed power settings, making them easy to use with very little setup. More advanced kits offer adjustable wattage and airflow, giving you greater control over flavour, vapour and draw.
03
Refillable vs prefilled
Prefilled pod kits are the easiest option if you want low maintenance and no refilling. Refillable pod kits give you more flavour choice and usually work out cheaper over time, as you can use your own e-liquid and replace the pod or coil when needed.
04
E-liquid compatibility
Not every vape kit works with every e-liquid. Lower-powered pod kits are usually best with nic salts and 50/50 e-liquids, while sub-ohm kits are designed for high-VG vape juice. Using the wrong e-liquid can lead to dry hits, leaking or poor coil life, so it’s worth checking compatibility before you buy.
05
Budget & ongoing costs
Think about both the upfront price of the kit and the cost of replacement pods, coils and e-liquid. Prefilled pod kits are simple and convenient, but refillable pod kits usually offer better long-term value. Sub-ohm kits may cost more upfront, but are designed for vapers who want more power and control.

Frequently Asked Questions
What vape kit is best for beginners?
A pod kit or MTL starter kit is the right starting point for most beginners, particularly those switching from cigarettes or disposables. They're simple to use, require no technical knowledge, and work with nic salts and 50/50 e-liquids at the strengths (10–20mg) that most effectively manage cravings. Avoid sub-ohm kits to begin with, high vapour volume and low nicotine strengths are better suited to experienced vapers.
Which kit should I buy if I'm switching from disposables?
A refillable pod kit is the closest match to a disposable bar. Choose a device with a coil in the 0.6Ω–1.0Ω range, pair it with a 20mg bar salt in the same flavour you already use, and the experience is directly comparable, at roughly a third of the ongoing cost. The OXVA Xlim Pod, Vaporesso Xros, and Uwell Caliburn range are consistently among the most recommended for this transition.
Which vape kit is best for clouds?
What e-liquid should I use with my vape kit?
The e-liquid you need depends on the coil resistance in your vape kit. For low-resistance coils used in sub-ohm kits, you'll need a high-VG e-liquid. For MTL kits, a higher-PG or nic salt e-liquid will be best suited.
How long does a vape kit battery last?
Vape batteries typically last 1 to 2 days per charge, depending on their capacity (mAh), your vaping habits, and device wattage. Over their lifetime, most vape batteries are good for around 300 to 500 charge cycles, which translates to about 6 to 12 months of regular use.
How often should I replace vape coils?
The lifespan of a vape coil is about 1 to 2 weeks on average. There is no exact time and it can be influenced by a number of factors, including how frequently you vape, the length of your draw and what type of e-liquid you use.
Are vape kits regulated in the UK?
Yes. Vape devices sold in the UK must comply with the Tobacco and Related Products Regulations (TRPR), which set standards for safety, electrical compliance and tank capacity. All kits we stock meet UK regulatory requirements and carry a CE or UKCA mark confirming they meet electrical safety standards.
