Innokin Endura T18E Vape Starter Kit

DOES NOT LEAK! (06 July 2025)

I have been using the Innokin Endura T18E since 2017 from Vape Club. I was a 20 aday smoker and had a choice. Either give up smoking due to the price or start vaping which worked out cheaper. It did not take me long to realise that if l wanted to vape like l was still a heavy smoker that l would obviously need at least 3 of these at any one time.
I can confirm 💯 that this particular vape does not leak. If they do its due to, HUMAN ERROR. I realised this not long after l began using them.
It's extremely easy to fit the coil and l have never had one once installed come loose. You physically need to twist it loose with your fingers. After inserting the coil you then need to screw the metal cap underneath on to prevent the e liquid from leaking. You then screw the battery on. When you need to charge the battery some of us remove it. This is when human error can occur. When removing or replacing the battery some people do not check to see if the metal cap is still screwed on tight. Even if it is now slightly loose your guaranteed to have e liquid leaking now. I know this because it happened to me a few times.until l realised the issue. Not only do l make sure the top is screwed on securely, l also check the metal cap is tightly fitted and the same with the battery. I could not tell you the last time my vape leaked.
Leaking from the top end is caused by over filling the tank and the coil. The coil should not have e liquid on the top of it. You can either look through the pirex glass or when filling that the e liquid is just below the top of the coil. Again this was another issue l had even though the instructions explain that you will flood the coil itself. To try and save a coil l would remove it and wrap it in kitchen roll to absorb the e liquid. Now and again l may slightly over fill and l just apply kitchen roll on the top part of the coil for a minute or two to absorb the e liquid. The e liquid l use come with a very thin long end that slides down between the coil and the tank which prevents spillages. I beleive most of them do.
I also keep them upright especially when l have just filled them up.
Another issue would be caused by the vape having been dropped several times or it landing on a very hard floor and the pirex glass has a slight crack, again causing the vape to leak. When l change my coil l always wash the top part in washing liquid. You can see if you have a leak by removing the mouth piece, blocking the hole with your finger and checking if it leaks water any where. Most of my coils last over 3/6 months some times longer.
My batteries and the vape itself normally last a year maybe longer.
Finally the spare O rings are included because the ones already on the vape wear thin after a while. Not sure if they could also cause e liquid to leak.
I changed all of mine every 4/6 months.
Although l mention in my review about parts being loose you also do not want to over tighten the parts. This could cause the O rings to split.
Due to the amount of vaping l do through out the day. I worked out that l need at least 3/4 vapes. When you smoke if you want a stronger hit of nicotine you purchase stronger cigarettes. It's the same with vapes. If you want to vape all day you purchase a bigger more expensive battery that will do that. Plus stronger e liquids strengths. This particular vape is a beginners vape. Although perfect for me. If l go out for the day l normally take 3 fully charged batteries and a spare coil just incase.
I did have a few bigger vapes however l preferred this one and knowing l vape quite a lot l always make sure l have 3/4 of these. I normally put a battery on charge before it goes red/dead taking around 45 mins to fully charge and l never leave them charging once charge to help keep my batteries working for longer. A few times the tank may get hot. Usually first thing in the morning and l am vaping to fast so l stop and let it cool down.
Rather than taking several puffs almost one after the other l inhale up to 10 seconds. The same has when l use to smoke.and l then get that nicotine hit.
Being of a certain age/old school l have also stuck with the same e liquids. However Vape Club recently sent me a couple of free e liquids and OMG they taste delicious.
Other than a few shops, Vape Club is the only online store l have ordered from since 2017. I do not believe the price of this particular vape has risen, which is very rare. They always have deals on e liquids. They have a point system so you can save money on every order. A app. Very easy to use website and excellent customer service. You are usually speaking to someone within a minute or two. I have only ever had two issues and both were sorted out immediately. Plus next day delivery including Sundays!
I hope this review either helps new customers or any customer that has had any of the above issues.

Decent piece of kit for a very decent price (08 January 2025)

Pros:
- (Mostly) solid construction, drop resistant, colour coating doesn't chip or scratch easily
- Very smooth MTL hit, excellent for ex-smokers
- The 1.5 coils last considerably longer than any other coils I've used in a comparable kit (haven't tried the 1.7s)
- Comes with spare mouthpieces and O rings
- Dirt cheap, both to buy and run

Cons:
- Flavour is nothing special
- Mediocre battery life/charging speed
- Expect a lot of leaking the moment the coil burns out -- don't go out for the day without a fresh one
- No adjustable airflow or power, if you care about that sort of thing (I don't)
- Oddly designed tank, can be slightly awkward to refill until you're used to it. Also makes it difficult to gauge juice levels
- The charging port cover at the bottom is held on with a pathetic little screw and didn't last a month before falling off

Overall it's not for the enthusiasts, but if you just want something cheap and reliable to keep you off the cigs you can't go wrong.

Decent Enough (28 April 2024)

This is a decent enough one that got me started first time round (trying to quit smoking), and makes a decent backup too. It's a reasonable size to carry around in a pocket, and not too heavy. I haven't really had any leaking issues with any of mine so far thankfully, but liquid can oversaturate the coil, though that may be down to me overfilling or something, I'm still pretty new to vaping and currently giving it a second shot at cutting down and hopefully down the line quitting smoking.

Annoying (31 March 2024)

I don’t know if I just got a bad pen or if it’s the design but so far not pleased with the pen. I chose this one because my old vape broke and I wanted something compatible with coils I already had. But it leaks terribly, I wasted so much juice as it just leaks. Doesn't matter what position it is in just leaks. As for the long battery life, it's not that long. I get I'm a heavy user but sometimes I have had to charge it twice a day.

Ok (26 March 2024)

This was my first vape pen and I found it easy to set up and use.stopped smoking cigarrettes within a few days!
The only downside is how long it takes to charge, and that I don’t seem to get a full days use out of the battery, also the coils do flood quite often.
However the ease of use and I loved that it is pink means I will give this an 8 star rating

It leaks (10 January 2024)

Not bad if you're an an ex smoker who's desperately seeking an alternative to smoking but don't expect massive clouds of flavour this is a really basic piece of kit.

By Susie from Leeds

Perfect (09 November 2023)

I've been vaping for a few years now and have always favoured the pen style vape, i prefer something simple and easy to use.

Having tried all different kinds over the years, primarily Innokin or Aspire brands, all offering similar experiences but some being more problematic than others. I think the Aspire Pockex, for me, was a terrible decision but that's a personal view.

I have now come to the conclusion that the T18E is the best out there in this category. It's simple to use, the MTL even though there isn't an adjustable air flow is spot on. It's reliable, rarely has any issues and the coil has a very reasonable lifespan too.

For anyone trying to give up smoking or just wants a reliable and easy device that still performs great, i highly recommend this one.

Innokin T18 (24 September 2023)

Charging is a huge issue, runs out after using around 3/4 times and constantly needs charging. Juice also gets into the coil persistently. If i knew how to request a refund i would. Don’t buy.

By Queenbee from Scotland

starter kit (11 August 2023)

was a good pen to start with, but after some time battery was lasting max 3 vaping sessions, constant charging was annoying.
otherwise easy to assemble and use, quite heavy

By Jamie

Be cautious (07 August 2023)

Died with an orange blinking light in less than a week, be cautious - also can be fairly leaky!

Otherwise, it was alright, sleek design and nice hidden micro USB charging.

Good starter kit (14 June 2023)

A good starter kit too start off with - a little bit hard to get the coil in and out and perfectly placed but you can pick this up very quickly.

The flavour from the coils are good but better in the market. Plus a lot of cleaning to make sure the tank stays nice and clean

Was okay to start with ~ (23 May 2023)

I wanted to quit disposables as was conscious how bad they are for the environment and also was spending a small fortune on them every month, I’m an ex smoker so I need something to keep my hands busy so after reading reviews on this vape it was the one I chose. I have had it for a couple of months now and have had almost no joy from it at all. From flavours not tasting of anything, to the coil somehow moving out of its place meaning it leaks everywhere and I have to waste a tank of juice to take it all apart and jam it back into place, to now the charge barely lasting a couple of hours with pretty regular use. I didn’t want a massive device with a silly amount of vapour as I don’t particularly like drawing attention to myself in public but this has been nothing but disappointing. Purely out of stubbornness I have been trying different juices to see if I can get any good taste out of it and just seem to be throwing money away. I’m doing 1 last order to give it another go with (hopefully) flavours that may be stronger. I must say though the service I’ve had has been 10/10. Don’t like to complain but just wanted to post an honest review, from reading the majority of others they’ve had better luck than me?

Simple and effective (29 April 2023)

I started with a t18e and firstly the instructions are simple to follow, great for first time vapers who don’t want anything complicated. The battery is good, it did last me all day but after a few months of use I noticed it deteriorated but I suppose that’s expected, it is however cheap to replace so that is ok! Easy to change coil etc, my only issue is I used to often get oil leaking, I’m not sure if that was my fault though? And that could have led to the battery deteriorating I’m not sure. Overall it’s really good I would recommend

By Maismoo from Hertfordshire

Easy to use (20 March 2023)

Brilliant, I quit smoking and starting vaping but disposable vapes were just not cutting it. I love the slim pen feel of the T18E and it’s stylish and fits perfectly in a pocket or bag.


The only problem I have had is that I dropped the “drip tip” on a night out as mine was coming loose easily. This time I misplaced it. Although the starter kit comes with 3 in total I prefer the tip that I lost. Trying to replace just the tip is difficult.

Overall fantastic product would recommend

By Bee from Manchester

Great for beginners (13 February 2023)

Bought this as a way to be a bit more eco friendly than constantly buying disposables. Great little starter kit instructions of how to set up are easy to follow. My only downside is the disk that covered the charging port is a little fiddly. Otherwise great

By Steedwill from Midlands

(18 November 2022)

Excellent bit of kit. Easy to use and battery lasts a fair time. I ve got 2 now and the coil is easy to change to.

By Hogs from Durham

good little starter (08 October 2022)

perfect little starter if you want to quit smoking, cheap, pretty good flavour, good battery life. good vape all together, this and the t22e are my recommendations to anyone who wants to start vaping.

By Ross from Uk

Worst vape pen - LEAKS (07 October 2022)

Had it 2 days now and EVERY coil including the one fitted from factory has leaked. I bought a spare pack of 5 and 3 of them leak plus 2 that came with the kit. All filled and fitted correctly and the coils flood and gurgle. Really not worth even thinking about buying...

By VapeNate83 from Manchester

Great for beginners (31 August 2022)

The Innokin T18E kit is a Solid little starter pen style device for the newbies out there. This kit has been around for years now in one shape or form from way before the TPD came into force which says a lot for this little device. This kit has help many people kick the stinkies over the years and will probably continue to do so. It’s very easy to use, fill, set up and vape. Coils are easy to come by and maintenance is minimal.

Follow-up (09 August 2022)

It all started so well six months ago. I was impressed with the build quality and performance. At some time in the last two or three months I think the coil supplier has changed. The current supply of coils is now inconsistent and unreliable. Every coil leaks if the tank is more than half full. Some coils only last 24 hours. I am currently looking at ditching this and buying a different make.
