If you want a vape that’s easy to use, look no further than prefilled pod 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. If you’re looking to swap to a reusable kit now that disposables are banned, or if you’re just looking for something simple, 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!

Kicking off this list is the Elf Bar Mate 500, a straightforward pod kit from vaping giants Elf Bar. This kit keeps things simple with inhale activation and a sleek buttonless design, so all you have to do for set-up is pop in a pod and inhale to vape. Like all the kits on this list, it uses a prefilled pod which helps cut down on maintenance time. Once your pods are empty, just replace them with no refilling.

It’s the Elf Bar Mate 500’s pods that truly earn it its spot on this list. Pick up pods in our multi-buy, prefilled with 20mg nic salt e-liquid in some of the most popular Elf Bar flavours. Or use this kit with a refillable pod and choose your own e-liquid from our huge 50% VG vape juice range.
