First up is the Lost Mary BM600 pod kit. This kit takes the place of the now-unavailable BM600 disposables, and boasts the same sleek and compact design. The BM600 keeps it as simple as it can get with no buttons or menus – just inhale to vape for an authentic MTL inhale. Then, once your pods are empty, swap them for new ones without having to refill with a bottle of e-liquid.
Talking of pods, this is where the BM600 really shines. Each 2ml prod is prefilled with 20mg nic salt e-liquid that curbs cravings fast. You’ll find them in many of the punchy flavours that Lost Mary is known for, with fruit, ice, and soda options available. Plus, thanks to each pod's built-in QUAQ mesh coil, e–liquid is heated evenly for a boosted flavour and a bolder vape.

That’s right, a big puff kit has cracked our list of the compact kits! The Pixl 8000 proves that you can enjoy a higher puff count in a smaller build too, with a compact body that’s 9cm tall. Powered by an 850mAh battery, this kit features a Boost Mode which increases the output to deliver improved flavour and vapour production. Thanks to inhale activation, using your Pixl 8000 is as easy as inserting a pod and inhaling to vape.
The Pixl 8000 uses a 2ml pod and 10ml refill container to deliver up to 8000 puffs right out of the box. Once your pod and container are empty, you can replace them with a new refill pack and get right back to using your kit. With over 40 flavours to choose from, there’s a refill pack for nearly every palate. Each refill pack comes prefilled with 20mg nic salt e-liquid which offers an MTL inhale and fast craving satisfaction.

The Mate 500 and Elfa kits aren’t the only rechargeable Elf Bars that you’ll find in our collection. As its name suggests, Elfa Pro Pod kit is the successor to the original Elfa. The main thing that sets it apart is its updated QUAQ mesh coil, which delivers a more consistent flavour. Speaking of flavour, there’s a wider selection of blends for you to choose from, as it's compatible with both Elfa Pro and Elfa pods.
The Elfa Pro boasts the same user-friendly, low-maintenance design that made the original Elfa so successful. The difference is its updated metallic finish, which will be a little more hardwearing. To get started, just push up the black base of your Elfa Pro pod to break the freshness seal, insert it into the device and puff on the mouthpiece to vape. Speaking of the pods, they feature most of the original Elf Bar flavours you know and enjoy, as well as some new favourites to discover.

The Xros range by Vaporesso is full of compact pod kits, but the Xros 5 Mini is one of the smallest amongst them. This straightforward kit is ideal if you’re on the look out for a low maintenance but customisable option. It uses Smart Mode to automatically pick the best wattage based on the pod you’ve chosen, so all you have to do is top up your pod and inhale to vape. The 1500mAh battery is large enough to last most vapers a full day’s use, and this kit even includes a USB-C cable so you can get vaping right away.
The Vaporesso 5 Mini is compatible with all Xros pods, and delivers an authentic MTL inhale that feels like a cigarette when paired with your choice of 50% VG e-liquid. Thanks to its built-in coils you can just swap the whole when your coil burns out. But, if you’re looking for even less maintenance, this kit can also be used with a full range of Deliciu prefilled pods – with fruit, soda, and ice flavours on offer!

When we say this next one is small, we really mean it! As one of the most compact kits you can get your hands on, the Aspire Gotek X will be right up your street if you’re after something lightweight. This budget-friendly vape delivers a classic MTL inhale, but you can use the adjustable airflow slider to swap between a tight or loose draw. The buttonless design means the Gotek X is easy to use, but despite its simplicity, it hosts a range of safety features such as overcharge and short circuit protection.
Aspire Gotek pods feature a built-in 0.8 Ohm coil, so there are no fiddly coil changes to worry about. When one coil is finished, the whole pod can simply be replaced. The coils have a mesh design which heats e-liquid quickly and evenly for improved flavour. The Gotek pods work best when paired with e-liquid which is at least 50% PG, including both freebase and nic salt vape juice.

For a low-maintenance kit that’s ideal if you're vaping on a budget give the SKE Bar pod kit a go. Boasting a buttonless design, this kit is as sleek and compact as the SKE disposable vapes were.

One of our favourites, when it comes to kits on the smaller side, is the Elf Bar Mate 500. It's essentially a rechargeable Elf Bar that takes either refillable or prefilled Elf Bar Mate P1 pods and is cheaper to maintain than a disposable. With the prefilled pods, the advantage is that you can vape your favourite Elf Bar flavours and only have to replace the pod (not the whole device) when it runs out of e-liquid.
However, if you prefer a little more choice, the MTL (Mouth To Lung) Elf Bar Mate 500 refillable pod allows you to use any 50/50 or high PG e-liquid you like. Their 2ml capacity means that both types of pod will be able to deliver up to 600 puffs when full. Plus, they'll both produce an inhale that feels exactly like a disposable vape, making the Elf Bar Mate 500 a solid choice for when you make the switch. It’s also far better for the environment and your wallet.
