If you want a vape that’s easy to use, look no further than prefilled pod vape kits. These handy kits require very little maintenance – instead of refilling them with a bottle of e-liquid, all you need to do is replace a prefilled pod. Plus, they boast a lower running cost and create less waste than disposable vapes. If you’re looking for a new vape ahead of the UK disposable vape ban, a prefilled pod kit might be just what you need!

All of the kits on this list deliver an MTL (Mouth To Lung) inhale and produce a discreet amount of vapour. Plus, they’re inhale activated, so they’ll feel immediately familiar. Because they’re so fuss-free, they’re popular with vapers of all experience levels. Whether you’re a new vaper looking for an easy way to get started or a vape expert looking for a simple backup, there’s a prefilled pod kit to suit you. Read on for a look at the best!

Pros & Cons

  • Rechargeable Elf Bar
  • Wide Range Of Flavours
  • Refillable Pod Option
  • Only One Nicotine Strength

Elf Bar is well known for their best-selling disposable vapes, famous all around the world. The Elfa Pro kit is a prefilled pod version that features the same popular flavours you’d find in the disposables. It houses a rechargeable 500mAh battery that’ll last most vapers all day.

This kit is compatible with both Elfa and Elfa Pro pods, so you can switch between them to try both original Elfa and exclusive Elfa Pro flavours. The pods contain a QUAQ mesh coil which heats e-liquid quickly and evenly for boosted flavour. Since the e-liquid inside is a nic salt blend, your cravings will be satisfied quickly and you’ll experience a smooth throat hit. There’s even a refillable pod available if you ever fancy pairing this kit with a 50/50 e-liquid.

Pros & Cons

  • Rechargeable Elf Bar
  • Sleek, Pocket-Friendly Shape
  • Refillable Pod Option
  • Only One Nicotine Strength

Yes, that’s right – two Elf Bar prefilled pod kits in a row. Following hot on the heels of the Elfa Pro is the Elf Mate 500. Much like the first entry, the Elf Mate uses prefilled pods featuring some of the best-selling Elf Bar blends and it also contains a 500mAh battery. However, it has a smoother, thinner shape that some customers prefer, and it features some different and more unique pod flavour blends like Sakura Mint and Kiwi Cucumber.

Elf Mate P1 pods are available in over 30 flavours, so there are plenty of options to suit your personal flavour preferences. The e-liquid inside each pod features a nic salt blend, so they’ll deliver a smooth throat hit while satisfying cravings fast. If you ever want to try something different, you can opt for the refillable Elf Mate pods instead and fill them up with 50% VG vape juice.

Pros & Cons

  • Unique Square Shape
  • Child-Proof Power Switch
  • Bold, Punchy Blends
  • Limited Range Of Pods

The Riot Connex kit is a prefilled pod vape with a unique, compact design. Turn your device on, connect your battery to a pod – they’ll snap together magnetically – and you’re ready to go. The 500mAh built-in battery can be recharged, so it can be reused again and again. It’s a surprisingly lightweight yet solid-feeling kit, so it’s ideal for vaping on the go.

If you’ve ever browsed our e-liquids and sorted by best-selling, you’ll no doubt have run into Riot. When it comes to vape juice, they’re well known for bold, punchy blends, and you’ll find the same in pods for the Connex kit. Customer (and staff!) favourites include fruity Blueberry Sour Raspberry, cool Pineapple Ice and familiar Classic Tobacco.

Pros & Cons

  • Crystal Bar Inspired Flavours
  • Familiar Shape & Size
  • Includes Pack Of Pods
  • Relatively Small Battery

Here’s another kit made by a big disposable vape brand – the SKE Crystal Plus pod kit is brought to you by the creators of Crystal Bar disposables. It’s an ideal choice if you’re looking for something pocket-friendly thanks to its sleek and slim design. The kit houses a 400mAh built-in battery that can be recharged quickly with a USB-C cable.

If you’re looking for disposable-inspired flavours, there are plenty to choose from in the Crystal Plus range! You’ll receive a pack of pods with your kit too, so you can get started quickly. Popular options include Cherry Ice, Lemon & Lime and Blue Razz Lemonade. Since they’re part of our 3 for £15 multi-buy, you can stock up on these nic salt pods for less.

Pros & Cons

  • Popular Lost Mary Flavours
  • Big Built-In Battery
  • Includes Three Pods
  • Pods Need To Be Primed

The Lost Mary Tappo makes a great choice if you’re looking for a prefilled pod vape that’s eye-catching yet compact. It features a 750mAh built-in battery that’s larger than those found in most other kits on this list. So, it’ll last for longer between charges. Your kit comes with three pods, so you can start vaping right away.

Speaking of pods, you’ll find the Tappo pods are available in a wide range of flavours inspired by the popular Lost Mary disposable vapes. Whether you prefer something classic like Silky Tobacco or a sweeter option like Mix Berries, there’s a blend to suit every palate. The pods are filled with nic salt e-liquid, so they’ll provide a smooth throat hit – and since they’re part of our 3 for £15 multi-buy you can try new flavours for less.

Pros & Cons

  • Budget-Friendly Bundle Available
  • Disposable Vape-Inspired Flavours
  • Compact Shape
  • Limited Range Of Pod Flavours

The Vapengin Venus pod kit is based on its single-use counterpart, the Mercury disposable - and you can expect the same punchy flavours! This kit is ideal for both new and experienced users looking for a light and stylish device. Each pod provides up to 600 puffs, with each draw feeling similar to a cigarette, owing to the small amount of vapour it’ll produce. The device features a 500mAh built-in battery that can be recharged quickly with a USB-C cable.

Venus pods are available in a range of fruity and icy flavours. Our favourites include sweet Cherry Cola and cool Banana Ice. The pods are prefilled with 20mg nic salt e-liquid that satisfies cravings fast. We highly recommend checking out our handy Vapengin Venus bundle that comes complete with seven prefilled pods – enough to last most vapers at least a full week.

Pros & Cons

  • Four-In-One Pod Design
  • Big Built-In Battery
  • USB-C Cable Included
  • Rather Large Device

Now let’s take a look at a kit with a difference. The Sky Hunter Twist Slim pod vape features a convenient design that allows it to hold 4 pods at once. It’s essentially a greener and more budget-friendly pod kit version of the Happy Vibes Twist disposable. Remove the mouthpiece and insert your pods, and then simply rotate the top of the device to swap between pods. The built-in 650mAh battery will last most vapers a full day.

When it comes to pods, you can select from a wide range of fruit, soda and ice nic salt blends. Popular picks include sweet Fizzy Cherry and tangy Berry Lemonade. You can pair your device with four pods in your favourite flavour, or mix it up and go for four different blends.

Pros & Cons

  • Four-In-One Pod Design
  • Impressive Built-In Battery
  • Compact Shape
  • Requires Some Setup

The Crystal 4in1 pod vape kit is another multi-pod option. It makes an ideal choice if you like to swap between flavours frequently or if you’re looking for an alternative to disposable devices. Insert the four included pods and then rotate the mouthpiece to swap between them. The big built-in 950mAh battery is the largest on this list, so it’s a good choice if you want to vape without worrying about running out of charge!

Crystal 4in1 pods are available in over 30 flavours inspired by the best-selling Crystal Bar disposable vapes. If you like sweet blends, we recommend Rose Edition, or for something a little sharper, go for Green Edition. The pods are part of our 3 for £15 multi-buy, so you can stock up on your favourites while saving money.

Pros & Cons

  • Light, Compact Design
  • Unique Range Of Flavours
  • Charges Quickly
  • Small Battery

If you want something that looks sleek and discreet, the Vuse Pro might be just what you’re after. It’s designed to produce a small amount of vapour for an authentic MTL inhale. This lightweight and pocket-friendly option houses a built-in 370mAh battery which can be recharged quickly using the included magnetic charging cable.

The Vuse Pro might look unassuming, but it boasts a surprisingly unique selection of flavours in the ePod pod range. Options like Iced Coconut Mocha and Lemon Juniper Zest are ideal if you want expertly-crafted flavours with a difference. Prefer the classics? Stick to simple options like Spearmint Ice or Berry Blend. The nic salt e-liquid inside each pod delivers a smooth throat hit and satisfies cravings fast.

Pros & Cons

  • Powerful Battery
  • Simple Inhale Activation
  • Several Pod Resistances Available
  • USB-C Cable Not Included

Our final pick is another pod kit that’s designed to replicate popular disposable vapes. The Elux Zero N is made by the creators of Elux disposables, and it’s been designed to look and feel just like one, with a lightweight and compact build. However, unlike a disposable vape, its built-in 400mAh battery can be recharged with the included USB-C cable and reused again and again.

When it comes to pods, there are plenty of fruit, soda, candy and ice options to pick from. Peach Mango is ideal if you like sweet, tropical flavours. If you prefer a sharper taste, opt for Pink Lemonade. Or, for something much richer, try Strawberry Ice Cream. The Zero N nic salt pods are part of our 3 for £15 multi-buy, so you can save money while trying out new blends.
