Vape Pod Kits have risen in popularity since entering the market a few years ago, they have taken over from the traditional vape starter kit, as the go-to device for first-time switchers; as well as experienced vapers looking for a simple kit they can use on the go.
A pod vape kit consists of a rechargeable battery mod and a removable pod that contains a coil and e-liquid. To help you find the best pod kit, we’ll not only be running through our top ten vape pod kits of 2022, but we’ll also be individually ranking their best qualities.

We have listed below pod kits that are recommended for first time vapers, as well as kits that will suit the more advanced user.
