The Top 10 Best Vape Kits To Buy In The UK

The Elf Bar Elfa Pro pod kit is not only an upgrade to the original Elfa – it’s an iconic device in its own right. Featuring a built-in 500mAh battery that helps deliver an authentic MTL vape, you can skip the setup associated with more complex kits and just puff on the mouthpiece to get started. This simple style is perfect for new vapers or anyone who just wants to focus on flavours.

You can find the Elfa pods in a variety of flavours including Blue Razz Lemonade, Cherry Cola and Elfbull, so you’ll be sure to find one that suits your preferences. The pods benefit from a 1.2 Ohm QUAQ mesh coil that’ll heat e-liquid evenly, each boasting up to 600 puffs. Plus, the 20mg salt nicotine will provide a smooth throat hit whilst satisfying cravings quickly.

If we’re talking about the best vape kits, the Elf Bar Mate 500 has to be on the list. Created by the minds behind the incredibly popular Elf Bar disposable vapes, this pocket-friendly option is incredibly easy to use. Whether you’re a beginner looking for a vape starter kit or an experienced vaper looking for a simple option, this kit is an ideal everyday device.

This kit is inhale activated, so there are no buttons or settings, and all you have to do is inhale on the mouthpiece. It's the pods that make the Mate kit stand out from similar vapes. You can pick from prefilled Elf Mate pods in flavours inspired by popular Elf Bar disposables, like Spearmint, Pink Lemonade and Kiwi Passionfruit Guava; or you can use Elf Mate refillable pods, and take advantage of our massive collection of over 4000 e-liquids. It’s easy to swap between prefilled and refillable pods, which means you can switch whenever you like.

If you want something compact and portable, the Gotek X is the one for you. Designed to be used on the go, this matchbox-style device is pocket-friendly, yet still provides enough power for an MTL or RDTL (Restricted Direct To Lung) inhale – depending on how you set its airflow control slider. Plus, there are no buttons or menus to mess around with, just puff on the kit to get started.

Each refillable Gotek X pod features a 0.8 Ohm mesh coil that’ll heat e-liquid quickly to deliver better flavour. Since the coils are built into the pods, you won’t need to worry about changing them, just replace the pod. For the best results, you’ll want to use a 50/50 VG/ PG e-liquid.

Fan of disposables? Then we’re sure you’ll have heard of Lost Mary, and their Tappo vape kit is a great way to switch to a reusable device! It houses a 750mAh battery that’ll last around a day between recharges and thanks to its fast charging capability, it’ll quickly reach full power in as little as 30 minutes. Using the device, it's simple! Just inhale on the mouthpiece and you’ll experience a discreet amount of vapour for an MTL vape that feels similar to a cigarette.

The Tappo pods are prefilled with 2ml of 20mg nic salt e-liquid and they’ll provide up to 600 puffs each. They won’t need any maintenance either, once the e-liquid inside your pod runs out you can simply swap them with new ones. Plus, thanks to the fruit, soda, candy and ice flavours they’re available in, there are plenty of choices!

Improving on the design of the original, the OXVA Xlim Pro pod vape kit is a powerful, versatile device that’s perfect for MTL and RDTL vaping, thanks to its variable 30W max power output. Fine-tune your vape by setting a power level, slide the airflow control bar to tighten or loosen each puff, and then inhale or hold down the button to start vaping. However you prefer to vape, the 1000mAh battery keeps going for longer.

To start you off, this kit comes with two pods in different resistances. Featuring 0.6 Ohm and 0.8 Ohm coils, you can try them both out to see which one you prefer. Plus, the Xlim Pro is compatible with Xlim V2 pods, so you’ve got the option of side-filling. Regardless of the coil you go for, we recommend using a 50% VG e-liquid with this device for best results.

If you’re looking for an easy-to-use vape that doesn’t compromise on flavour, look no further than the Xros 3. The device features Pulse Mode, thanks to the Vaporesso AXON chipset, which continually boosts the power to the coil for improved flavour. The single button design means there are no complicated settings or menus to worry about – just inhale on the mouthpiece or press the button to vape. The Xros 3’s built-in 1000mAh battery is large enough to last most vapers all day.

Speaking of improved flavour, that’s what you’ll experience when using Xros pods. They feature built-in coils with a mesh build, which heats up e-liquid quickly and evenly for improved flavour and vapour production. The pods are available in several different resistances, with lower resistances creating a looser, airier inhale and higher resistances providing a more restricted vape.

Compact and simple, the Riot Connex pod kit is ideal for anyone who wants a straightforward device – regardless of your experience level. This kit houses a built-in 500mAh rechargeable battery and thanks to its inhale activation, you’ll only need to Connex (excuse the pun) the pod and inhale on the mouthpiece to get started – no buttons or settings.

The Riot Connex pods are prefilled with 2ml of nic salt e-liquid in 10mg or 20mg strengths. They’ll provide up to 600 puffs before needing to be replaced and when they run out, you can swap them with new ones. There’s a wide selection of fruit, soda and tobacco flavours to choose from so finding the Riot (we’ll stop the puns now) one for you is easy.

If you’re after a vape that’s pocket-friendly, simple to use and supports multiple vaping styles, you’re in luck – the Geekvape Sonder Q ticks all the boxes. Housing a built-in 1000mAh battery that’ll last around a day between charges, this device features a 20W max power output that allows you to alternate between MTL and RDTL vaping by simply switching pods.

The Geekvape Q pods are top-filling and feature built-in coils, so when the coil burns out, you can replace the whole pod with a new one – no need for coil changes. You’ll find them in 0.6 Ohm, 0.8 Ohm and 1.2 Ohm resistances, so you can experiment with a tighter or looser inhale to find the right one for you.

Pocket-friendly, low-maintenance and lasting around a day between recharges, what’s not to love about the Caliburn G3? This vape kit features a 900mAh built-in battery with a 5-25W variable output and if you fancy switching between an MTL and RDTL vape, you’ll only need to swap your pod for a different resistance – Smart Mode will handle the rest. If you prefer to fine-tune things though, you have the option of adjusting the wattage yourself using its simple, single-button control.

The Caliburn G3 pods feature a top-filling design and are available in 0.6 Ohm, 0.9 Ohm and 1.2 Ohm resistances, so whether you prefer a looser RDTL inhale or a tighter MTL vape, they have you covered. You’ll want to pair these pods with a 50% VG e-liquid for best results, but luckily, there’s one included to get you started!

The Smok Nord 5 pod kit is compact and easy to use. It’s a good choice if you’re a beginner vaper looking for a simple sub ohm option. It features a built-in 2000mAh battery that’s large enough to last most users all day and powerful enough to output up to 80W. Adjustable wattage controls make it easy to find your ideal power level.

The Nord 5 pods use replaceable coils which are a more budget-friendly choice than built-in coil pods, as you only need to change the coil and not the entire pod. The compatible RPM 3 coils come in two different resistances, both of which will work best when paired with high VG e-liquid.
