What are vape kits?
Vape kits are battery-powered devices that heat e-liquid to produce vapour. Unlike disposable vapes, vape kits are refillable and reusable, and can be customised to deliver your ideal vaping experience.
What's included in a vape kit?
Common components of a vape kit include:
- Vape device: The main body that houses the battery and controls.
- Tank or pod: Holds the e-liquid (or vape juice) and contains the coil that heats the liquid.
- E-liquid: The flavoured liquid that’s vaporised (often sold separately).
- Coils: Replaceable heating elements that vaporise the e-liquid.
- Battery: Built-in or removable power source.
Charger: Often a USB cable to charge the device.
Some vape kits also include replacement parts so your device lasts even longer. Each device is different, so be sure to check beforehand.
What type of vape kits are there?
Refillable Vape Kits
Refillable vape kits, also known as refillable pod kits or open pod systems, are vape devices that can be refilled with an e-liquid of your choice.
Pre-filled pod vape kits
A pre-filled pod vape kit is a rechargeable device that uses disposable pods already filled with e-liquid. You just snap the pod into place and start vaping, super simple.
Big Puff Vapes
Unlike the average vape, designed to hold 2ml of e-liquids, big puff vapes come with more e-liquid and a larger battery for a long-lasting, more potent vaping experience.
Pod Kits
A pod vape kit includes a small vape device and a pod that holds the e-liquid. They’re easy to use and are a great choice for people who want a hassle-free option.
Starter Kits
A vape starter kit is a bundle created for beginners that contains all the necessary components to start vaping. Beginner vape kits focus on ease of use, and come with simple controls and clear instructions.
Advanced Kits (Sub-ohm kits)
Advanced vape kits offer greater power, airflow control, and customisation, making them ideal for more experienced vapers.
How to choose the right vape kit
To choose the right vape kit, you’ll need to consider a few things:
Your vaping style
Mouth-to-lung (MTL) vaping mimics the sensation of smoking a cigarette, where you draw the vapour into your mouth before inhaling it into your lungs. This makes it great for smokers looking to transition to a healthier alternative.
Direct-to-lung (DTL) vaping involves inhaling vapour directly into the lungs, similar to how you’d breathe in deeply. It's perfect for experienced vapers who like large clouds and intense flavour.
Different devices are better suited to each style, so bear this in mind.
E-Liquid Compatibility
VG/PG ratios refer to the proportions of vegetable glycerin (VG) and propylene glycol (PG) used in an e-liquid:
- High-VG e-liquids are thicker, produce more vapour, and are often used in DTL vaping.
- 50/50 blends offer a balanced ratio of PF and VG, and are suitable for both MTL and DTL.
- Nicotine salts provide a smoother throat hit and are often used in lower-powered devices.
Be sure to choose a device that’s compatible with your favourite e-liquid.

- Adjustable wattage: Allows you to customise the vaping experience.
