8 Best Mouth to Lung Vapes In 2024 (UK Review)

I’ll tell you right off the bat that I’m a massive fan of the XLIM SQ Pro. It does everything an MTL device needs to do in style and comfort.

The device’s tiny MTL pod kit build size is only 54.4mm x 20.4mm x 77mm, and it can fit snugly into even a breast pocket. Despite this, the kit carries a 1200mAh internal battery, enough to power at least a couple of days of MTL vaping and recharging to complete in only 45 minutes.

While I rely on the kit’s Smart mode for automatic power settings, you can explore a 5-30W output range to find your own puffing sweet spot.

Add to all this the upgraded XLIM V3 Pods, which can be refilled without being removed, and you’re dealing with an exceptional MTL package that any smoker will find perfect for replacing cigarettes.

Heavy Duty: Enough battery and power to satisfy intense cravings 
Easy Flex: Simple enough for a total beginner to master quickly 
Trio Tier: Three tiers of power you can cycle between with one button 


If you’re a heavy smoker looking to quit cigarettes, you need a long-lasting vape kit that’s both easy to use and capable of some higher outputs. The Aspire Flexus AIO Pod Kit has everything you need in a stylish package.

The device’s 2000mAh battery is the second largest featured today, just shy of the Innokin EZ Tube Zenith Minimal. This increased cell size means you’re unlikely to be caught without any battery when you most need it.

You can also switch between three different tiers of power output with one button tap, allowing you to ramp things up for a larger puff without having to learn the ins and outs of wattage.

Refilling is quickly done with a quarter turn of the pod lid, though admittedly, it will often result in the pod shifting position, which is frustrating as the pod position determines airflow.

But, ultimately, what you need is a vape with longevity and power, two things the Flexus AIO Pod Kit has in spades. 

Fab Filters: Filter tips look and feel like cigarette filters 
Bountiful Bank: Included 1800mAh power bank for recharging 
Snap-Off: The Galaxy Pen can be detached for greater portability 

Every vape is good for quitting smoking, but sometimes a kit like the Voopoo Doric Galaxy goes the extra distance in fulfilling that sense of cigarette nostalgia.

The Doric Galaxy pen comes with a pre-fitted acrylic drip tip, which is tapered to suit MTL draws better. However, the kit also comes with optional paper ‘filter’ style drip tips that have the exact same mouth-feel as a cigarette end!

The pen itself contains a 500mAh battery, which isn’t too large. This, however, is bolstered by the included 1800mAh power bank! You can vape the pen by itself for a cigarette style MTL vaping experience, or with the power bank attached for a session that can last for days without a recharge.

Sadly, unlike most MTL devices, the pen can only be charged through the power bank, but it’s a small downside to a fantastic power-preservation accessory that ensures the Doric Galaxy won’t let you down while stimulating the parts of your memory that remember smoking with fondness.

Silver Shock: Silver ion coats the coils to prevent bacterial buildup 
Pick a Puff: Choose between button-activation and draw-activated use 
Unrestricted: Good for if you like a bit of RDL use 

Flavour is one of the many advantages vaping has over smoking. However, some kits can affect the taste of your vape juice with poor coil materials. The Voopoo VMATE Pro Pod Kit provides pure and flavourful puffs every time.

The VMATE Pro’s taste plateaus are due to its unique coil construction method. The preinstalled coils in the VMATE V2 Pods are coated in a layer of silver ion, which eliminates 99% of bacteria from developing on the moist coil surfaces. This unique solution to a common issue results in vape juice that continues to taste excellent long into the coil’s lifespan.

The 5-25W output range keeps things within MTL territory, though the 0.7ohm pod is excellent for RDL inhaling, which you can further improve with the airflow slider.

With a 900mAh battery that usually lasts a whole day without charging, the Voopoo VMATE Pro is the best MTL vape for flavour, providing great-tasting puffs whenever and wherever you need them.

Mighty mAh: Gigantic 2100mAh battery that lasts for days 
How You Like It: Wide wattage range to suit your preferences 
Zesty Zenith: Tank compatible with all Z-Coils and can be deep-cleaned 

The only advantage cigarettes have over vapes is that they don’t run out of battery. But if you equip yourself with a device like the Innokin EZ Tube Zenith Minimal, you can put those concerns aside.

The vape unit’s 2100mAh battery is contained within its wide cylinder casing. Admittedly, this results in a heavier and bulkier construction than the other vape kits featured today, but it’s a small price to pay for a vape that just keeps going.

The EZ Tube battery can be set anywhere between 6-40W by just tapping the firing button twice and turning the dial at the kit’s base, giving you many vape style options. The Zenith Minimal tank can be totally disassembled for deep cleaning between vape juice flavours and is compatible with the full range of Innokin Z-Coils.

While it’s a heftier choice, the EZ Tube Zenith Minimal is the best MTL mod for battery life. It can be used for days on end, and that’s the main thing many of your readers will be looking for. 

Out And About: Perfect size and weight for travel vaping 
Messless: Pods specially designed for leak-protection 
A to B: The 900mAh battery is lightweight and lasts all-day  

Travellers need tiny vapes, and the Aspire Minican 3 Pro Pod Kit is the best MTL pod vape for travel, with a build that you can take anywhere.

Measuring a petite 100.5mm x 28.2mm x 15.7mm and weighing a featherweight 40.5g, the Minican 3 Pro will never feel heavy in your pocket or palm. This makes it ideal for travelling, and the 900mAh battery shouldn’t have any problems lasting from your journey’s beginning to end.

Admittedly, the side display screen is a little small, though up close, it’s very detailed with battery level, coil health, and puff count readouts.

The bottom-fill pods are highly leak-resistant and notably transparent, making it easy to gauge your current e-liquid levels even when moving. 

New Guys: A tremendous first rechargeable vape kit 
Authentic Taste: It’s the same e-liquid used in Lost Mary disposables 
Penny Puffs: Two 2ml pods for the same price as one 2ml disposable

Many total beginners either lack the confidence to learn about coils, wattage, and whatnot or are disposable vape users who resent the upcoming ban on single-use devices.

I ask both of these groups why not try a stepping stone first? The Lost Marry Tappo Prefilled Pod Kit does everything a vape kit needs to but without all the fuss of a true refillable vape kit.

Made by Elf Bar and utilising 2ml pods filled with genuine Lost Mary flavours, the Tappo contains a rechargeable 750mAh battery that makes it look and feel like a disposable vape. There are no buttons for you to worry about; you pop in a pod, vape until it’s done and then replace it with a new one for a fraction of the price of tobacco or disposable vapes.

I’ll be honest with you; it’s not going to offer the same value and personalisation as a true refillable MTL vape kit, but it’s a significant first step towards a better solution for nicotine relief.

Cheap Puffs: Costs barely more than a disposable vape 
ITO Coils FTW: Both disposable and coilless ITO Pods are available 
MTL Marvel: ITO Pod mouthpieces are tapered for MTL puffs 

A common irony is that the only thing preventing a prospective vaper from enjoying the greater value of vaping is the financial hurdle of the initial kit purchase. Kits like the Voopoo Doric Q provide the full vaping package without a steep price of admission.

Costing barely any more than a disposable vape, the Doric Q boasts an 800mAh battery, larger than some more expensive kits like the Uwell Whirl F.

I won’t sugar-coat it; the Doric Q isn’t the best-made vape in the world. Its plastic construction is a little creaky and likely won’t survive a tumble down stone steps, but the auto-draw is very responsive, and the ITO Pods deliver surprisingly rich flavours.

I’ve worked with vapes for over ten years, and I honestly wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the Doric Q to any vape-curious person who didn’t want to spend a fortune. Your first car wasn’t a Ferrari, but it certainly got the job done.
