MIST Electronic Cigarettes Ltd, one of the longest-running and most respected vape retailers in the United Kingdom, is eager to announce the 2024 MIST Vape Awards winners.
The annual ceremony, which commenced last year, honors innovative vape hardware (kits, tanks, and mods) and flavourful e-liquids (nic salts, shortfills, bar salts, and CBD vape juice) that have left a significant mark on both our customers and the industry as a whole.
2024 has been pivotal for vaping, with new legislation resulting in further innovations from an industry already known for design ingenuity. To accommodate this, we have increased the number of awards from 17 to 20. The new categories are: best RDA, best internal battery mod, and best vape brand.
MIST Electronic Cigarettes Ltd CEO Fred Cassman shares his opinion on the vape industry’s future:
““The future of vaping stands at a crucial crossroads. While public health evidence consistently shows vaping is significantly safer than smoking, proposed nicotine taxes risk undermining its potential as a harm reduction tool. We’re concerned that increasing costs could deter smokers from switching to vaping.”
Fred Cassman, CEO of MIST Electronic Cigarettes Ltd
Cassman also emphasised the need to collaborate with government and industry experts:
“At MIST, we believe we need closer collaboration between government and industry experts to develop policies that achieve our shared goals: reducing smoking rates, protecting youth, and maintaining the UK’s position as a leader in tobacco harm reduction. This requires nuanced solutions.”
Fred Cassman, CEO of MIST Electronic Cigarettes Ltd
Asked about his feelings on the disposable vape ban set to be implemented in June of 2025, Cassman had this to say:
“While disposable vapes have played a valuable role in making vaping accessible to those looking to quit smoking, we support this move toward more sustainable alternatives. The environmental impact of single-use devices can’t be ignored.
At MIST, we’re seeing exciting developments in affordable, refillable vaping technology that offers both consumer value and a smaller environmental footprint. This shift aligns with the natural evolution of our industry toward more responsible and sustainable solutions.”
Fred Cassman, CEO of MIST Electronic Cigarettes Ltd
Each winner below underwent a meticulous test. We took into account every aspect — durability, reliability, innovation, and value for money — to ensure this year’s winners truly represent the best of the best.

Best Starter Kit
Nevoks Feelin AX: Nevoks are a relatively young company in the vaping industry, having started in 2019, but starter kits like the Feelin AX were very well-received and led to them finding a comfortable niche in the upper echelons of today’s best vape manufacturers.
The Feelin AX combines a compact, travel-friendly build with a remarkably large 1500mAh battery and a 30W max output potential. You also receive fantastic flavour from the Australian cotton used in their coils.

Best Refillable Pod Kit
Vaporesso XROS 4 Nano: The XROS 4 Nano by Vaporesso presents a delightful package. Easy pocketability and travel ease, as well as a 1350mAh battery with rapid 2A charge speeds. The kit features super-responsive draw-activation and – best of all – different power functions depending on which XROS pod you use.

Best MTL Kit
Vaporesso XROS 4 Nano: Vaporesso’s XROS 4 Nano is also our choice for the best MTL Kit in 2024. Its long-lasting battery can provide either an in-depth of simplified power output range, it’s portable enough to take wherever you go and uses coils made with the COREX 2.0 design to deliver the richest flavour possible. If you need a new MTL kit, this one has zero downsides whatsoever.
Best Sub-Ohm Kit
Vaporesso LUXE XR Max: For the second year in a row, the LUXE XR Max is still MIST’s choice for the best sub-ohm kit in 2024.
Despite being small enough to fit into any pocket, the device carries a whopping 2800mAh battery, which is a 40% increase from the previous version of the kit. And rest assured that at 80W, you won’t be disappointed by the cloud production capabilities of this mini sub-ohm shocker.
Best Semi-Disposable Pod
Voopoo Argus Bar Prime: The Argus Bar Prime presents itself in classic Voopoo style, with an attractive, compact and colour build, which is very lightweight thanks to the acrylic construction. The pod within provides up to 6000 puffs, easily enough to get through all 10mls of delicious nic salts. Easy to use, easy to transport, and providing longterm satisfaction.

Best Prefilled Pod
Elf Bar 4-In-1 Prefilled Pod Kit: With a rechargeable feature, instant flavour switching, and an optional Eco Mode for battery longevity, the Elf Bar 4-in-1 is, without a doubt, the best prefilled device we tried in 2024.
Best Disposable Vape
IVG 2400 Nic Salt: IVG’s 2400 Nic Salt disposable vape was very clearly the inspiration for the Elf Bar 4-In-1 Kit, and it’s still a fantastic disposable option. With a vast multitude of great IVG flavours to enjoy and a 1500mAh battery to help you atomise all the juice in the pods, it’s a brilliant swan-song for the disposable vapes era.
Best CBD Disposable Vape
Canavape Full Spectrum CBD Disposable Vape: CBD disposables can be a hit or miss, but the new Canavape units are way better than previous models. The vape pen can now be recharged and contains 750mg of Full Spectrum CBD and CBG in a 1:1 ratio. This cannabinoid double-up results in the ‘entourage effect’ of sympathetic cannabis extracts working together on your body.
With no head-fuzz to worry about and pure, real terpene flavours, there isn’t a more authentic CBD disposable out there.

E-liquids
- Best Nic Salt: Dinner Lady Fruit Full Pineapple Orange 10ml
- Best CBD: Canavape White Widow
- Best Shortfill: Zeus Juice Zodiac Electra
- Best Bar Salts: MIST Bar Salts Grapefruit Ting
Best Nic Salt
Dinner Lady Fruit Full Pineapple Orange 10ml: Dinner Lady’s Fruit Full range of bar salts is brimming with explosive sweet flavours, and this one stood out from the pack. The pineapple taste is incredible natural and pure, avoiding the syrupy note that pineapple vape juice often takes. Add to that an powerful burst of sweet and juicy orange citrus flavour, and you’ve got one of the most memorable fruity nic salts of the year.

Best CBD
Canavape: The recently-release Canavape shortfills are the UK’s best CBD vape juice. Available in both cannabis terpene flavours and stealthy sweet flavours that are common to vaping, both varieties use a blend of both full-spectrum CBD and CBG for a more comprehensive effect. Plus, the 50ml bottle’s strengths can be as high as 1800mg, so you’re sure to get a dosage you can feel with Canavape. Our top pick from the range? White Widow.

Best Shortfill
Zeus Juice Zodiac Electra: Zeus Juice have proven they still know their way around vape flavours, and Electra is the best of the batch in their Zodiac range. With a rich and thoroughly natural pineapple profile that doesn’t shy away from the woodier aspects of the fruit, the ice elevates the sugars to incredible heights of taste.

Best Bar Salts
MIST Bar Salts: An inventive range of unique flavours and combinations, which also boasts one of the best grapefruit e-liquids there is. The MIST Bar Salts line of e-liquids also offers a far greater number of nicotine strengths than any other range, so there’ll be something delicious and satisfying for a; MTL vapers.

Vape Tanks
- Best MTL Tank: Aspire Nautilus 3
- Best RTA Tank: Wotofo Profile M
- Best Sub-Ohm Tank: Vaporesso iTank 2
- Best RDA: Deathwish Modz ReGenesis
Best MTL Tank
Aspire Nautilus 3 Tank: The Aspire Nautilus 3 Tank has a few years on it now, but you wouldn’t be able to tell. That’s because it’s still one of the most advanced, yet user-friendly MTL tanks ever made. It’s thick and durable, with a wide range of Nautilus coils available for it and mess-free sliding-top refills. And best of all, due to the coil chamber you can change your coil with a full tank of e-liquid without losing a drop.
Best RTA
Wotofo Profile M: Armed with only a crosshead screwdriver (which comes included!), you can now easily install mesh coils into the Wotofo Profile M RTA. This opens the doors to maximum cloud and flavour production, with top-based airflow to prevent any leaks or spills. The Wotofo Profile M RTA bridges the gap between beginner-friendliness and expert enjoyment.
Best Sub-Ohm Tank
Vaporesso iTank 2: The iTank 2 from Vaporesso was so well received that they relaunched their Target 200 Kit just to include it! The stylish chunky design houses a coil built with Vaporesso COREX system, which is known for its richer flavour and thicker clouds. This tank also has a brilliant anti-leak design aspect and is one of the best button-release top-fill systems ever released.
Best RDA
Deathwish Modz ReGenesis: The ReGenesis RDA from Deathwish Modz isn’t just a pretty piece of kit (though it’s certainly that). The RDA has a wide 28mm deck and posts that are very easy to work with. There are also aspects of the RDA made from non-conductive ultem, so you don’t need to worry about hot lips when firing off some tremendous clouds from your mod’s temperature control mode.
Vape Mods
- Best Single-Battery Mod: Innokin Kroma 217
- Best Dual-Battery Mod: Vaporesso GEN MAX
- Best Internal Battery Mod: Eleaf iStick Power 2
Best Single-Battery Mod
Innokin Kroma 217: The Kroma 217 mod by Innokin is still an absolute delight to use despite having been released some time ago. It’s compatible with 18650, 20700, and 21700 batteries, has a 100W max output, and features coil and flavour-preserving modes such as Refresh and Coil+. It’s a great choice for both MTL and DTL vapers seeking a travel-friendly vape mod.
Best Dual Battery Mod
Vaporesso GEN MAX: Vaporesso mods are often some of the most powerful around, with the older Gen S mod being one of the first to offer 220W outputs. Now the GEN MAX provides the same outstanding output but with more advanced functions. From the unique dial button to the dedicated lock-switch and easily removed battery bay panel, the GEN MAX combines expert functionality with beginner ease.

Best Internal Battery Mod
Eleaf iStick Power 2: Eleaf hardware doesn’t get as much love and press as some other companies, and we think that should change with mods like the iStick Power 2. This mod carries an awe-inspiring 5000mAh of battery capacity. This is enough to provide some vapers with up to a week of MTL draws without charging! And DTL vapers can enjoy the 80W max output of the mod.
Vape Brand
Vaporesso: Winning five categories, we are crowning MIST’s first-ever best vape brand award to Vaporesso. The XROS 4 Nano is set to dominate the MTL vaping landscape, the LUXE XR Max kit still provides the best portable sub-ohm action available, the GEN Max is a powerful and reliable mod, and the iTank 2 gives huge, flavourful clouds.
