Features We Love

MTL Marvel: Perfect for mouth-to-lung vaping 
Small Style: The tiny square-slab design is easy to travel with 
Hidden Power: Impressive 30W outputs and 1200mAh battery 

The OXVA XLIM SQ Pro Pod Kit has already won numerous accolades from MIST. This mouth-to-lung vape kit is built in a tiny 54.4mm x 20.4mm x 77mm dimension that can be easily taken anywhere. It contains a surprisingly sizeable 1200mAh battery.

You can also put that battery through its paces by exploring the 5 – 30W output range. While intended as an MTL device, the XLIM SQ Pro provides exceptional restricted-direct-lung vaping by combining its power potential with an ample spectrum of adjustable airflow settings.

The XLIM V3 Pods are the result of years of innovative improvements. They are available in four different resistances and now feature a raised refill hatch that lets you fill the vape without removing the pod from the device.

While sub-ohm purists will prefer dedicated cloud kits like the Vaporesso Target 200, any other vaper will adore the OXVA XLIM SQ Pro, which presents a masterclass in vaping versatility.

Pros

  • All-day battery 
  • Wide wattage range
  • Highly portable design

Cons

  • Menu themes are pointless 
  • Unfamiliar shape may put heavy smokers off

Features We Love

Svelte Sub-Ohm: Remarkably compact dual-18650 mod 
Incredible Range: 220W adjustable power outputs for big vapour production 
Multi-Modes: User modes to suit different vaping style choices 

The Vaporesso Target 200 (iTank 2 Edition) Kit takes an old-school design approach yet somehow manages to keep the scale to a reasonable size even when leaving room for two external 18650 batteries in the box mod kit.

With the two batteries fitted, you can reach a mind-blowing adjustable power maximum of 220W, which is more than any standard tank coil can deal with but perfect for those of you who like to build your own coils for RDA tanks.

But it would be criminal not to praise the iTank 2, which we named the Best Sub-Ohm Vape Tank of 2023. The self-cleaning system helps you retain all your condensed e-liquid, while the button-release lid opening mechanism makes refills easy wherever you are.

Coils are also preserved with the multiple user modes provided by the onboard AXON chip, which include Pulse mode, F(T) mode, and Smart mode, allowing for different degrees of control and customisation over your cloud-chasing vape session.

Pros

  • It comes with the fantastic iTank 2 
  • Smaller dual-battery sub-ohm kit
  • Several user modes to select

Cons

  • Still too bulky for some vapers 
  • iTank 2 coils can’t handle 220W outputs

Ciggie Style: Filter tips perfectly replicate the cigarette mouth feel 
Bank It: Massive 1800mAh power bank included 
Take A Drag: Tapered POM mouthpiece suits MTL draws 

Every vape is good for giving up smoking, but the talons of a cigarette habit go so much deeper than simple nicotine satisfaction. The Voopoo Doric Galaxy Pod Kit addresses this by providing a kit that satisfies on a sensory level as well as physical relief when you start vaping.

The Doric Galaxy has a tapered POM drip tip by default, making it an ideal device for MTL inhales. However, the secret weapon comes in the form of the disposable ‘filter’ tips. Made from the same cotton as cigarette filters, it perfectly replicates the oral sensation of a cigarette butt, giving you a familiar and comforting experience.

The pen only has a 500mAh battery, but it comes with an attachable power bank containing a whopping 1800mAh capacity to which the pen can be used while attached.

It’s a shame that you can only charge the pen through the power bank, but it’s a minor complaint for an incredibly novel kit that addresses a long-overlooked aspect of smoking habits.

Pros

  • Sizable power bank for multi-day vaping 
  • Filter tips that feel like cigarette ends
  • It can be used in or out of the power bank

Cons

  • The pen cannot be charged outside of the bank 
  • Filter tips degrade quickly

Massive mAh: Heavy smokers will find 2000mAh useful 
Easy Switch: Cycle power outputs with one button push 
Pod Prodder: Adjustable airflow changed by turning the pod in place 

Heavy smokers usually need a little more ‘oomph’ from their vape kits. Understandably, strong habits need powerful solutions, and the Aspire Flexus AIO Pod Kit delivers long-lasting, strong puffs with an interface a beginner will understand intuitively.

The Flexus AIO uses a combination of steel and transparent plastic for its build, which, though fragile, decreases the 2000mAh device’s carry weight. If you’re a total beginner vaper, you might like to know that it’s quite a sizeable built-in battery, able to grant you days of vaping without running out.

And when you need a little extra kick in your puff, you can tap the smaller button to switch between three tiers of power output, perfect for those moments when first gear isn’t getting the job done.

Refills are a breeze; turn the pod 90 degrees to remove it and reveal the refill port. The only downside is that the adjustable airflow is changed by turning the pod in place, which is a great feature. However, refilling is likely to adjust your airflow settings a bit, which is annoying if you’ve found your sweet spot.

Pros

  • Lightweight despite the large battery 
  • Simple airflow adjustment
  • Three tiers of power output

Cons

  • Plastic parts can be fragile if dropped
  • Refilling will often shift your airflow settings

Penny Pods: Very affordable pod vape kit 
Pump It Up: Select between three different power outputs 
Pick Your Pods: Choose between disposable pods and replaceable coils 

Pod vaping is quickly becoming the norm for MTL vape kits, providing a more convenient means of nicotine delivery than traditional glass/steel tank builds. The Voopoo Doric E Pod Kit is an affordable device that will satisfy both long-standing vape enthusiasts and total beginners equally.

The palm-size and pocket-friendly Doric E is shorter than most other vape kits and thin enough to fit comfortably in your pocket. It’s also pleasant to hold, thanks to the wraparound pleather grip panel, accentuating the vibrant colours. Cheap kits can be well-made, and the Doric E is proof of that.

The deceptively small build houses a 1500mAh battery, which can power mouth-to-lung vaping for a full day or two. You can customise the adjustable wattage by tapping the firing button three times, switching between three tiers of MTL power output.

The cherry on top is the compatibility of the ITO Pod. The kit comes with a disposable ITO Pod that uses pre-installed coils, though you can also opt for the value of empty pods that take replaceable pods. The tapered mouthpieces on both kinds of pod suit MTL vaping perfectly.

Pros

  • Cheap yet excellent pod vape kit 
  • Easy power adjustment
  • ITO Pod choices for convenience and value

Cons

  • No display screen 
  • ITO Pods don’t suit restricted direct lung inhales

Turn It Up: Easy power adjustment through the base dial 
Keep It Going: Ample 2100mAh battery capacity 
Loyal Coil: Fully compatible with the entire Z-Coil range 

While many new vapers will pick an easy, no-fuss device like the Lost Mary Tappo or Geekvape Sonder Q, we recommend jumping in with both feet and really getting to grips with a robust vape kit like the Innokin EZ Tube Zenith Minimal, which will teach you all the ins and outs you need to know.

Think of it like learning to drive a manual instead of an automatic. The EZ Tube Zenith Minimal uses a traditional e-cigarette tank with replaceable coils. The tank can be disassembled for complete cleaning, which is excellent for trying many different flavours.

The 2100mAh battery will last for days, even when taking advantage of the 6W – 40W outputs that can be adjusted by turning the base dial. Admittedly, placing the display screen on the base was a strange decision, but it’s a minor complaint.

While the EZ Tube Zenith Minimal is a little larger and heavier than kits like the OXVA XLIM SQ Pro, using it for just a week will earn you all your vape experience as a seasoned vaper, ready to take on any kit.

Pros

  • User-friendly vape kit for beginner vapers
  • Easy power adjustment
  • The tank can be fully taken apart for cleaning

Cons

  • Hefty and bulky build 
  • Too much work for those focussed on convenience

CBD ABC: No-thrills, no-fuss kit for vaping CBD 
Pleasant Pods: Q Cartridges promote rich cannabis terpene tastes 
Cheap Thrills: Very affordably priced 

You don’t need a high-tech wonder kit to vape CBD. You only need a simple low-power pod kit like the Geekvape Sonder Q for a low-cost medium for CBD vape delivery.

The 1000mAh battery is generally enough to get most smokers through a working day, and as CBD vapers almost universally puff less frequently than nicotine addicts, it’ll definitely be more than enough charge for legal cannabinoid purposes.

One of the Sonder Q’s standout features is the Q Cartridge and its capacity for flavour purity. Built in accordance with Geekvape’s new ‘VPU’ coil design ethos, it blends better-quality coils and wicks to deliver clear, rich flavour. If you like CBD vape juice made with natural terpenes, you’ll get the clear and unadulterated herbal flavour from the Q Cartridges.

At just 40g, the Sonder Q is lightweight and slim enough to carry easily. It focuses on simple functions that any CBD vaper will find convenient and fuss-free. 

Pros

  • Cheap and easy to use 
  • Very flavoursome Q Cartridges
  • Easy snap-off refill method

Cons

  • Very restrictive airflow settings 
  • The rounded base makes it hard to stand upright

First Steps: Great for learning how to refill a vape kit 
Plentiful Puffs: Provides up to 6500 puffs 
Juice Selecta: Can be filled with any PG or 50/50 vape juice 
Not everyone’s ready to jump to the full-on refillable lifestyle, even if they want to eventually. The Innokin Endura S1 will teach you how to refill a vape without the messy coil changes and tank cleanings.

While we recommended the Innokin EZ Tube Zenith Minimal as a Vaping 101 kit, there’s no shame in using training wheels for a while if you’re a bit uncertain about making a big purchase on technology that’s alien to you right now.

The Endura S1 is semi-disposable. While its 650mAh battery can be charged rapidly through a USB charging cable, the ‘pod’ is integrated into the build and can’t be removed. Not to worry however, as the 1.1ohm mesh KAL coil can deliver up to 6500 puffs before degrading to the point of not firing.

That’s approximately as many puffs as 11 disposable vapes but with the added benefit of being able to select your own MTL vape juices and the nicotine strengths that suit you best, making it the perfect vape to begin your proper vaping journey.

Pros

  • Perfect device for transitioning away from disposable vapes
  • The 1.1ohm mesh coil delivers 6500 puffs
  • The 650mAh battery charges very quickly

Cons

  • No included USB-C charging cable 
  • The value still falls short of a true refillable kit

FAQ

What Types of Best Vapes Are There?

If you are shopping for a brand-new vape for the first time, you’ll come across the following:

MTL Vapes: Those new vapers looking for a vape device which is going to best satisfy a nicotine habit would do well to check out the best MTL vape options for vapes that can deliver moderately sized amounts of vapour that deliver a satisfying ‘hit’ to the chest and throat and are capable of handling a variety of nicotine strengths.

Vapes for Smokers: Speaking of smoking, certain smokers have particularly heavy habits that aren’t always satisfied with just any old vape kit, so those people may wish to take a look at our list of the best vape for heavy smokers, as these kits are designed to be able to fully recreate the cigarette experience.

Sub-Ohm Vapes: But vaping isn’t all about cigarette replacement. Other vapers are more drawn to the world of sub-ohm vaping, in which you emit vast clouds of vapour at low nicotine levels, similarly to shisha smoking. Those who prefer a more sizable cloud output may like to check out our list of the best sub-ohm vape kit devices.

Vape Pens: Still others may prefer an alternative to those two classic genres of vaping. Those interested in a small and simple to use portable vape device will doubtless be informed by our analysis of the best vape pen devices available, which appeal to many due to their comfortable cylindrical designs and streamlined functionality that eschews power adjustment and other features to instead concentrate on a satisfying drag with every puff.

Pod Vapes: And those who are interested in smaller vapes but would still like some of the advanced functions and features ordinarily installed in vape mods will definitely want to look into the best pod vape roundup that we’ve assembled, as the world of pod vapes is currently seeing incredible innovation and may well represent the next era of vaping.

Disposable Vapes: Finally, disposable vapes are non-refillable and usually non-rechargeable MTL pens and closed pod systems pre-filled with nic salts, usually at 20mg but sometimes available at 10mg. Disposables are a great way to trial vaping without investing in a vape kit as they give the full experience, however, a disposable vape habit can be costly, so we recommend graduating to a refillable kit as soon as you can.

What Should I Consider When Choosing a Vape Kit?

Consider your specific needs. As mentioned earlier, the best vape kits aren’t always the most expensive, and unlike us, your local vape shop may attempt to fob you off with a pricy, powerful vape mod laden with features you don’t require.

Do some reading about how to vape and consider what kit suits your lifestyle.

Can I Use Any Type of E-liquid With My Vape Kit?

The e-liquid you use will depend on the coils your kit takes. Generally, coils with ohmages higher than 0.6 ohms are intended for thinner e-liquids with either a higher level of PG than VG or a 50/50 split. A coil of 0.6ohms or lower will be meant for use with high-VG e-liquid that produces large clouds.

Using the wrong e-liquid for your coils can result in leaks or burnt wicks, so be sure to check, as it will always be listed on the online product page and the side of the bottle in stores.

What Do Vapes Come With?

In general, vape kits come with a mod, a tank/pod, and coils. Others can include a charging cable, lanyard, and other accessories. Keep in mind that you’re more than likely to buy a vape juice (separate purchase) unless you’ve picked up a vape kit with a prefilled pod/tank. External batteries are also excluded from a standard vape kit package.

How Much Does a Vape Cost?

A vape kit can cost you anywhere from £6.99 to £79.99. As mentioned earlier, you’ll have to take into account vape juice and external batteries (if the vape kit runs on 18650 or 21700 external batteries).

Do Vapes Come With Coils?

Most vape kits will come with coils. However, we do suggest reading the description of the product or asking customer support for confirmation.
