What Are The Best Budget Vape Kits To Buy In 2025?

Kicking off this list is the Lost Mary BM600 pod kit, which mimics the look, feel, and even taste of the previously best-selling range of disposables in a rechargeable kit. Its compact body houses a 360mAh built-in battery that can be quickly recharged with a USB-C cable, and delivers up to 600 puffs before its pods need replacing.

Each BM600 pod comes prefilled with 20mg nic salt e-liquid, which satisfies your cravings quickly and provides a smooth throat hit. You’ll find pods in a wide variety of flavours, with some of the most popular flavours from Lost Mary on show – like Triple Mango and Watermelon Ice! Plus, with our multi-buy you can stock up on your favourite pods for less.

Next up is the Elf Bar 600, a compact and budget-friendly kit that’s ideal if you’re after something low maintenance. Thanks to its buttonless design, setting up the Elf Bar 600 is as easy as popping in a pod and inhaling to vape. Its 500mAh battery is large enough to last most vapers all day before it needs to be recharged, and you can keep up-to-date on your battery level with the LED ring around the base of the device, which is handy when you’re out and about.

So, what’s so special about the Elf Bar 600? Beyond being easy on your wallet, this kit can be used with a large variety of prefilled pods, so there’s something for nearly every palate. You can take your pick from Elf bar 600 pods, Elfa Pro, Lost Mary Tappo, and more, each prefilled with 20mg nic salt e-liquid for a smooth throat hit and an MTL inhale that feels like a cigarette. Once your pods are empty, just swap it for a new one to carry on using your device.

The SKE Bar is a straightforward option that keeps set up as simple as possible – just remove your kit from the packaging and inhale to vape. The 500mAh battery lasts most vapers all day before needing to be recharged, and the fixed 11W output helps deliver a consistent MTL inhale that mimics the feel of a cigarette when paired with your SKE Bar prefilled pod.

Talking of pods, each SKE Bar pod comes ready-filled with 20mg nic salt e-liquid which offers a smooth throat hit and fast craving satisfaction for up to 600 puffs before it needs to be replaced. Thanks to our multi-buy, you can replace your empty pods for less, so you can get right back to vaping. SKE have brought many of their best-selling flavours to these pods, so there’s a wide variety of flavour options available for nearly every taste.

If it's versatility you’re looking for, try the Vaporesso Xros 3 Mini vape kit. This sleek, budget-friendly kit delivers a looser RDTL vape right out of the box, with the option of MTL vaping thanks to the range of compatible Xros pods (sold separately). Smart Mode will automatically pick the best wattage for your coil, so you can simply inhale on the mouthpiece to vape.

The Xros 3 Mini comes with a 0.6 Ohm pod which features a handy top-filling design so you can top up your pod without removing it from your device. All Xros pods pair perfectly with 50% VG e-liquid for an MTL and RDTL vape. But, if you’re looking for a low maintenance option, why not check out the compatible range of Deliciu prefilled pods that contain 2ml of 20mg nic salt e-liquid? Available in our multi-buy, these pods can be easily swapped when empty without the need to refill.

Vaporesso are known for their best-selling hardware, so it might not surprise you that they’ve managed to crack our list twice! The Dojo Blast 10K is different from many of their other ranges, as it’s a big puff pod kit that uses a 2ml prefilled pod and 8ml refill container to deliver up to 10,000 puffs. The 1000mAh battery will last most vapers a full day’s usage before needing to be recharged, and can be quickly recharged with a USB-C cable.

You’ll find Dojo Blast 10K prefilled pods in a wide range of flavours, with fruit, tobacco, and menthol options to choose from. Each pod includes a Corex 2.0 Mesh Coil which heats e-liquid evenly for boosted flavour and improved vapour production. Plus, as these pods last longer than a typical 2ml prefilled pod, they need to be replaced less frequently – which can help save you money in the long run!

The Aspire Gotek X is a popular choice for vapers looking for something compact and pocket-friendly. Coming in at just under £10, it’s a budget-friendly option for both MTL (Mouth To Lung) and RDTL (Restricted Direct To Lung) vaping thanks to the adjustable airflow slider, which lets you select how tight or loose each draw feels. The pods feature a built-in 0.8 Ohm coil with a mesh design that improves flavour by heating e-liquid quickly and evenly.

The Gotek X is full of features even at its low price. Aspire’s ASP chipset provides several safety protections including against short circuits and overcharging. Inhale activation does away with the need for complicated settings – just puff on the mouthpiece to vape. This kit works best with 50% VG or higher PG e-liquids.

Oxva Xlim Go vape kit is a versatile kit that comes with everything you need to get started – including a nic salt e-liquid! Powered by a 1000mAh battery, it offers a maximum 30W output that can support MTL and RDTL vaping. Just insert a pod and Smart Mode will automatically select the best wattage for your coil, so you can start vaping straight away. With the adjustable airflow slider, you can fine-tune your vape for a tighter or looser inhale.

The Oxva Xlim Go can be used with the full range of Xlim top filling pods, and comes with a 0.8 Ohm pod designed for MTL vaping. Each pod contains a built-in mesh coil that helps cut down on maintenance. Once your coil burns out, after roughly a week, you can simply replace the whole pod for a new one. No matter which pod you go for, the Xlim Go pairs best with a 50% VG e-liquid.

Next to make our list is the Geekvape Sonder Q vape kit, a sleek device we’d recommend if simplicity is your priority. This kit features Smart Mode that will automatically select the best wattage for you from the 5-20W output, and an adjustable airflow control that makes it easy to choose between a tighter or looser inhale.

But what about its pods? Well, the Geekvape Sonder Q is compatible with all Geekvape Q refillable pods meaning you can take your pick from resistances including 0.4 Ohm and 1.2 Ohm options for RDTL and MTL vaping. Each kit comes with a 0.8 Ohm which provides an MTL vape that feels like a cigarette when paired with your choice of 50% VG e-liquid.

If you’re looking for a simple and reliable kit that doesn’t break the bank, the Uwell Caliburn G3 Lite might be just the one for you. Smart Mode allows you to quickly switch up your vapour production by automatically adjusting its 25W max power output, depending on the pod resistance you go for. Plus, the G3 Lite’s buttonless design means you can simply pop your pod in and inhale on the mouthpiece to vape! Its built-in 1200mAh battery will last around a day too and when it runs out, it’ll quickly recharge in a little over half an hour.

The G3 pods house built-in mesh coils, so when they run out you can swap the whole pod with a new one. They’re available in 0.4 Ohm - 1.2 Ohm resistances, so whether you prefer an MTL or RDTL inhale, they have you covered. Whichever pod you choose, we recommend using a 50% VG e-liquid. But thanks to the two included Elfliq vape juices, you won’t need to grab any for a little while anyway!

Our last budget-friendly pick goes to the Voopoo Argus G2 Mini. Powered by a 1200mAh battery, it offers a 5 - 30W output that’s automatically controlled by Smart Mode so you’re always vaping at the best wattage for your pod. If you’re after a little more customisation, you can use the adjustable airflow slider and switch up your pods from the range of compatible Argus pods.

Talking of pods, each Argus pod boasts a top-filling design that makes it easy to top-up without having to remove it from your device. The built-in mesh coil uses its larger surface area to heat e-liquid more efficiently, leading to an extra boost to flavour. We recommend pairing this kit with a 50% VG e-liquid for an MTL and RDTL vape, and take advantage of our e-liquid multi-buys to stock up on your favourites for less!
