What Are The Most Eco-Friendly Vape Kits?
Our favourite reduced-waste vape kits.Whenever vaping’s in the news, you’ll often see that its environmental impact is discussed. Responsible retailers will have solid sustainability policies and choose to use environmentally-friendly packaging or offer recycling schemes. But how can individual vapers make their vape a little greener?
Your choice of vape kit has a big impact on how much waste is created. In general, kits that require more maintenance – such as refilling or changing the coil – will be more eco-friendly than kits that require less maintenance, such as prefilled pod kits. This is because you’ll only be replacing small parts rather than replacing the pod every time it’s empty.
Below, we’ve put together a list of our favourite eco-friendly vape kits. We’ve based our choices on how many components need to be disposed of, how easy they are to recycle and even how durable they are. And, just like with all of our top ten guides, we’ve also taken customer feedback into account to make sure we’re only recommending the highest-quality kits that real vapers use.

If you’re looking for a more eco-friendly alternative to disposable vapes that’s just as convenient and low-maintenance, you’ll find your answer in our prefilled pod vapes. Of these, the Elfa Pro kit is a customer favourite. It uses pods which come ready-filled with nic salt e-liquid, and all you have to do to get started is break the seal on the pod, insert it into your device and inhale on the mouthpiece to vape.
Elfa Pro pods come in a wide variety of flavours, including best-selling Elf blends like Strawberry Raspberry, Cherry Cola and Watermelon. When one pod is empty, it can simply be replaced. There’s also a refillable pod option that will last around a week before it needs replacing, that can be used with any 50% VG e-liquid of your choice – pick any flavour and strength you like from our wide range.

The Vaporesso Luxe XR Max pod vape makes our list because it’s so versatile, it’s like having two vape kits in one. The large built-in battery can deliver up to 80W, and the device will automatically detect which coil you’ve chosen and output the best wattage to match. If you’re looking for a little more control, you can also adjust the power level yourself.
What sets this kit apart is its refillable pod which pairs with the massive Vaporesso GTX coil range. Within the series, you’ll find DTL, RDTL and MTL coils, so you don’t need to buy a second kit if you want to try another vaping style. This leads to less waste and means you can use any e-liquid you’d like. Plus, some of our customers tell us that they just keep a second pod with a different coil to hand to use when they want to change their vaping style, so they don’t need to carry another kit.

The Innokin Trine kit is one of the most sustainable refillable kits around. It uses a rechargeable 1000mAh battery that can be easily replaced and recycled when it declines due to wear and tear. This minimises waste and allows you to keep using your device. This kit has been designed for MTL vaping, and you can tailor how each puff feels by adjusting the 5-25W power output at the click of a button.
The VCap pods are top-filling and can be topped up with 2ml of e-liquid without needing to remove the pod from your kit. These pods house built-in coils, so you can swap the whole pod with a new one once your coil begins to taste burnt. You’ll find these pods in 0.6 Ohm, 0.8 Ohm and 1.2 Ohm resistances, so whether you’re after a tighter or looser vape, there’s something for you.

The Vaporesso Eco Nano Pro is an upgrade to the original Eco Nano, and was designed to be an eco-friendly alternative to prefilled pod kits. This pocket-friendly kit boasts a 1000mAh fast-charging battery and two power modes: Eco Mode extends your battery life whilst Power Mode uses a higher wattage to deliver a bolder flavour.
But what makes this kit eco friendly? Each 2ml Eco Nano pod features a built-in mesh Corex coil that vaporises e-liquid more efficiently than most coils on the market. This means that the coil lasts longer, and so it requires fewer pod replacements and produces less waste in the long run. These pods are available in 0.6 Ohm - 1.2 Ohm resistances, so you can find the inhale that works best for you.

Next up is the Vuse Ultra pod kit. This kit is one of the most unique on this list thanks to its compatible MYVUSE app that allows you to customise things like vapour production and flavour intensity all from your phone. There’s no need to refill this kit either, once your prefilled pods are empty (after up to 1000 puffs) they can be replaced with new ones. You’ll find Vuse Ultra pods in a punchy selection of flavours including fruit, mint, and tobacco blends.
The Vuse Ultra boasts a 530mAh battery that can be removed at the end of its life span and recycled. You can then replace it with a new battery and carry on using your device. Not only is this good for the environment, as the battery can be easily recycled, but it can also save you money on a whole new vape kit.

The Innokin Adept Zlide kit is designed to be durable and long-wearing. This makes it an ideal choice if you’re looking for a greener vape, since it can more easily withstand the knocks and drops that might break other devices, causing you to need a replacement. Boasting an IP67 protection rating, it’s waterproof, dustproof, and the rubber body means it’s shockproof too.
The Zlide tank utilises replaceable coils, so there are no pods to dispose of – the only part that needs to be thrown away is the coil, and even they can be recycled. Within the Zenith and Plexus-Z coil ranges, you’ll find a variety of different MTL resistances on offer, so you can easily find one that suits your preferred inhale style.

Our last entry is a great option if you are looking for a prefilled kit that will last for longer between pod replacements. The Dojo Blast 6000 is a big puff vape that features a 10ml refill container and a 2ml prefilled pod to deliver up to 6000 puffs right out of the box. To put that into context, that’s roughly the same as six to ten standard prefilled pods! Dojo Blast 6000 pods feature fruit, soda and ice flavours, and unlike many prefilled pods, they are available in both 10mg and 20mg nicotine strengths.
Talking of prefilled pods, it's these that have earned the Dojo Blast 6000 a place on this list. Featuring more e-liquid than your average refill pack, these cut down on the amount of pod changes you need to do – which is friendlier on the environment and your wallet! Check out the Dojo Blast 6000 12k bundle kit and stock up on refillable pods for less.
