7. Eleaf iStick Power Mono
8. Vaporesso LUXE XR Max
9. Voopoo DRAG H40

Key Features: 

• All Rounder: A simple kit for both MTL and RDL vaping  
• No Fuss: No confusing menus, just simple, quick functionality 
• Elf OGs: Top-filling for clean and quick refills 

Many vape kits are aimed at an experienced market, but not the Flexus AIO. Like its older Flexus brothers (the Flexus Blok, the Flexus Q, and the Flexus Stik), the Flexus AIO is engineered to make the transition from smoking to vaping as seamless as possible. You have a user-friendly interface and no-fuss wattage control, and it can be used for MTL and RDL vaping.

So, what makes the Flexus AIO a better choice versus older Flexus vape kits? It has a larger battery, 2000mAh to be more precise, to accommodate both MTL and RDL vaping.

In terms of flavour output, you won’t be disappointed, as Flexus AIO uses Aspire’s long-lasting and flavourful Flexus AF mesh coils. These coils are specifically designed for use with nic salts. This makes even high-strength e-liquid smooth to inhale, an essential feature for heavy smokers.And, in case you are wondering, mesh coils are better for flavour because they evenly distribute heat and have more contact with the e-liquid.

Combined with its battery life, beginner-friendly interface and wattage control, flavourful mesh coils, and MTL and RDL functionality, we can confidently say that Aspire’s Flexus AIO is the best refillable pod kit for heavy smokers.

Key Features:  

• Perfect Puffs: Simple and elegant MTL vape kit 
• Accessorise: Comes with lanyard to keep it within reach 
• Side-Hatch: Easy pod refills without removing the pod 

Mouth-to-lung vaping (MTL) best replicates the cigarette smoking experience, making it very attractive to heavy smokers. The ergonomic build, travel ease and rapid firing speed of the OXVA XLIM SQ Pro Pod Kit are just some aspects that earned the kit our MIST Vape Awards 2023 for Best MTL Kit.

Despite its tiny build, the OXVA XLIM SQ Pro contains a 1200mAh battery and can fire as high as 30W, more than enough for cigarette-replacement vaping. The device’s battery handles the output range well, ensuring you can maintain a long and satisfying MTL vaping session.

The ability to change the menu theme is a bit gimmicky but doesn’t detract from the device’s functionality or the satisfying MTL draws from the XLIM V3 Pods. 

A little personal note from the writer, but this is the only vape I’ve ever worn as a lanyard. It’s light, tasty, user-friendly, and one of the best MTL kits a heavy smoker could acquire.

Key Features:  

• EZ Peasy: Perfect for absolute beginners 
• Coil Collection: Compatible with the full Innokin Z-Coil range
• Turn It Up: Easy power adjustment by turning the base dial 

You’ve finally put the cigarettes down, but you need something to fill the gap and don’t have the time or patience to learn a whole new discipline. Worry not, because the Innokin EZ Tube Zenith Minimal Kit is here to make vaping more accessible than ever.

Unlike kits such as the Geekvape T200 below, there are no superfluous features to get lost in, the kit instead providing simple cigarette-style inhales. You can explore a 6W – 40W range of outputs by just turning the handy dial at the base, meaning there are no confusing menus to get lost in.

A beginner won’t think to charge their new kit regularly, but an ample 2100mAh battery equates to about 2-3 days of vaping without charge, preventing a frustrating first vape experience.

And the included Zenith Minimal Tank has a simple old-fashioned design that even an absolute beginner will find easy to refill and install Z-Coils in.

Key Features:  

• Cheap Puffs: Affordable despite great functionality 
• Secure Fit: BP Pod held in place by powerful magnets 
• Clear View: Transparent pods for easy juice gauging 

At just over £20 – around ten pounds less than many of the kits featured today – you get a mighty sub-ohm vape kit that lasts a remarkably long time between charges thanks to its 2500mAh battery.

Being a cheaper kit does mean it lacks some features and functions of other pod vape kits like the OXVA XLIM SQ Pro, but the device features innovative compromises, such as being able to alter your airflow by turning the BP Stik Pod in place.

Key Features:  

• Uber Mod: Insanely powerful 200W max output 
• Touch It: 2.4″ touchscreen display interface 
• Takes A Bashing: IP68 protection against knocks and water 

It might not fit in your jeans pockets, but whack a couple of 18650 batteries into this bad boy, and you’re on a one-way trip to Cloud City, population: you.

Jokes aside, the T200 is a behemoth vape kit, and the vast scale isn’t just a build-size feature. There’s a 200W max output, which will allow you to put the included Zeus Tank through its plume-producing paces.

And if pre-built vape coils aren’t that exciting to you, the mod also has temperature control modes for all varieties of coil materials. This is an essential feature for those who like to build their own extremely cloudy coils for use in an RDA or RTA tank, something the T200 is absolutely perfect for.

Key Features:  

• Out & About: Small enough to take anywhere for on-the-go vaping 
• Considerable Power: 5W – 80W output range from a single 18650 
• Pick a Coil: Compatible with VC, PnP, GTX and TMD Coils 

The small and unassuming aluminium case reveals a battery bay for 18650 battery, from which you can draw up to 80W of power, with a small screen to adjust output settings. At a height of only 78mm, it’s around half the size of the 141mm Geekvape T200 while delivering a similar function.

The kit also features the unique internal San Boro Tank, which adds no height to the device at all and maintains the pocketable scale of the kit.

The tank is designed for use with the Vaperz Cloud VC Tech Mesh Coils, but is also compatible with Voopoo PnP Coils, Vaporesso GTX Coils, and BP Mods TMD Coils, giving the San AIO Boro Kit access to more coils than any other kit in the world.

Key Features:  

• Massive mAh: Gigantic 3500mAh battery capacity 
• Gentle Touch: Smooth edges and soft panels
• Take a Drag: Tapered mouthpiece for perfect MTL inhales 

So, what’s unique about the iStick Power Mono Kit? How about a 3500mAh battery, significantly larger than any other internal battery featured in this list and even rivalling the dual 18650 cells of the T200?

A battery as large as that will last for days on end, even at high wattage settings. We have no idea how Eleaf managed to keep the mod compact and lightweight with that kind of battery, but we aren’t complaining. 

The iStick Power Mono Kit has a plain yet comfortable design with great grip comfort. You can set the wattage anywhere between 5W and 80W, and the GTL Pod Tank includes coils for both moderate and cloudy vaping styles.

Key Features:  

• Portable Plumes: Sub-ohm vaping wherever you go 
• Pod Switcher: Compatible with all LUXE X pods 
• Turn Around: Turn the pod in place to adjust airflow 

Big clouds are fantastic, but are you averse to carrying around a massive kit like the T200 mentioned above? Vaporesso is changing the sub-ohm pod game with their LUXE XR Max Pod Kit, the best portable cloud vape on the market.

The LUXE XR Max is relatively slim and lightweight at only 124g, which is surprising considering the 2800mAh battery. Competitively, the Innokin EZ Tube above weighs 269g with a notably smaller battery capacity. While 80W doesn’t quite match the output limit of some bulkier traditional sub-ohm kits, it’s still enough to quickly fog out any room you choose!

There’s the crazy coil and pod compatibility, as well. The LUXE XR comes with reusable LUXE XR Pods with RDL and DTL airflows and takes the GTX Coil series. But if you prefer less fuss, you can also use the LUXE X Pods, disposable pods with pre-installed mesh coils.

Key Features:  

• Tasty Puffs: Rich flavour from PnP Coils 
• Chic Cylinder: Attractive and comfortable build 
• MTL Option: 1.2ohm PnP-TR1 Coil available 

We continue the sub-ohm pod vape vibe with the Voopoo DRAG H40 Pod Kit, a kit designed to produce large volumes of vapour laden with clear taste and flavour.

We often recommend MTL vaping for flavour, but we feel it’s essential for both cloud fans and those who find thinner e-liquids irritating to have access to great tastes as well. The DRAG H40 achieves this with the excellent PnP Coil range.

These coils use meshed and ceramic elements to convey the purest flavour possible, even when firing the kit at its 40W maximum output. And if you prefer an MTL vape, you can use the 1.2ohm PnP TR1 Coil. 

The vape pen is compactly built and features Voopoo’s characteristic leather grip panel, so it’ll always be comfortable in the palm and pocket. And if you want to crank up the clouds, turn the PnP Pod II in place to adjust your airflow.

Key Features:  

• Tasty Puffs: Rich flavour from PnP Coils 
• Chic Cylinder: Attractive and comfortable build 
• MTL Option: 1.2ohm PnP-TR1 Coil available 

The IVG 2400 Disposable contains a 1500mAh battery life – five times as large as Lost Mary and Elf Bar cells – and 8ml of vape juice split into four internal pods you can switch between. This ingenious design means the IVG 2400 Nic Salt Disposable still abides by all TPD restrictions on vape juice capacity.

It’s much bulkier than most disposables and won’t fit neatly into your jeans. However, with over 20 flavours and units that allow you to switch between tastes, there’s never been a better disposable vape for heavy smokers.
