Our top spot goes to the Elf Bar Mate 500 pod kit. 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.

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.

The mesh build of the Aspire Flexus Q pods offers improved flavour by heating e-liquid quickly. With a choice of two different resistances, you can swap between an MTL (Mouth To Lung) vape with a discreet amount of vapour production, or a slightly looser and airier RDTL (Restricted Direct To Lung) vape.

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.

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.
