8 Best Vapes To Quit Smoking In 2024 (UK Review)

One of the many reasons people go back to smoking a cigarette is the inconvenience of charging a vape pod kit. Voopoo’s solution? The Doric Galaxy – a vape pod kit with its very own power bank.

While the 500mAh battery of the pen isn’t massive, the 1800mAh power bank ensures your Doric Galaxy lasts all day. You can remove the pen for easy use and comfort or keep it in the power bank for a lengthy vaping session. But that’s not the only advantage of this vape pod kit – The Doric Galaxy also features optional filter drip tips.

The filter drip tips replicate the oral sensation of a cigarette end, checking off an unconscious box of satisfaction that’ll keep you away from the tobacco counter and help you quit smoking. Tapered POM drip tips are also available for mouth-to-lung draws.

Admittedly, the 4-second cutoff time of the pen is a little frustrating, but despite this minor issue, the Voopoo Doric Galaxy is the best vape for quitting smoking in 2024.

MTL Marvel: Perfect for mouth-to-lung vaping 
Turn It Up: Optional wattage maximum of 30W 
Smarty Pants: Smart mode ensures optimal wattage settings 

The OXVA XLIM SQ Pro Pod Kit won our MTL Kit of the Year award in 2023, and we’re still in awe of how it is able to provide a simple, satisfying, mouth-to-lung vaping experience in such a compact device.

It’s not just the ease of use, with Smart mode ensuring optimal wattages and improved XLIM V3 Pods allowing for in-unit refills. It’s also a compact and travel-friendly design wrapped around a 1200mAh battery that provides days of use.

You can adjust the power between 5W – 30W if you prefer to control the outputs and select between three menu themes. Admittedly, that’s a bit of a pointless feature, but it’s nice to see OXVA offering lighthearted functionality.

The airflow adjustment is a bit tight, which is suitable for mouth-to-lung vaping, but it does mean you’re less likely to use the full 30W output potential.

Those minor points aside, however, the OXVA XLIM SQ Pro Pod Kit does everything an MTL vape kit needs to and performs consistently.

Tasty AF: Aspire AF Coils use meshes to deliver rich tastes 
One Press: Switch wattages with a single button-press 
Turn Around: Turn the pod in place to change the airflow settings 

The Aspire Flexus AIO Pod Kit has a lot of significant facets, from ease of use to simple refilling. Still, one of the standout features is Aspire AF Coils, which uses vertical mesh elements and high-quality cotton to convey rich, unmistakable flavour.

The pods are easy to refill, opening with a quarter-turn of the lid. Turning the pod itself in place will also allow you to open or close the airflow, with a tight airflow being perfect for those searching for flavour plateaus.

The kit is relatively lightweight thanks to the partially plastic construction, cutting the 2000mAh battery some slack. However, this build type can be fragile, so be sure not to drop it.

Thanks to the effortless power adjustment, it’s also a good kit for new vapers. One button tap lets you cycle between three tiers of power output, giving you cloud control without needing to learn about wattages and other vaping terms. 

Everything You Need: A great kit, pod, and e-juice for under £12 
Tasty Puffs: The Q Cartridges deliver rich and intense flavour 
Disposa-blessed: The authentic, genuine taste of Elf Bar juice 

We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: vaping is always cheaper than smoking, but the initial kit purchase can be an issue for prospective vapers on a budget. Luckily, the Geekvape Sonder Q / ELFLIQ Bundle puts an award-winning refillable vape kit and juice in your hands for just over a tenner.

The Sonder Q Pod Kit is a great first vape pen – it’s draw-activated for convenience and features easy-to-fill disposable Q Cartridges that produce flavourful puffs. Plus, the 1000mAh battery can last all day, so those missing tobacco smoke won’t suddenly be left without their means of relief.

As for the bundled e-liquid, you have ELFLIQ, which is made by Elf Bar, one of the most popular makers of disposable vapes. Their e-liquids are widely lauded for their intense tastes.

Once you have emptied the included ELFLIQ, you can refill the Sonder Q vae pods with any 50/50 or high-PG e-liquid you like.

Cloud Potential: 40W max outputs can produce large clouds 
Deep Clean: Zenith Minimal Tank can be disassembled for cleaning 
Big mAh: 2100mAh will assist in long cloud sessions 

Most people looking forward to switching from smoking to vaping prefer a vape pod kit that replicates cigarettes, but if you’re drawn to big vapour production, then consider a more powerful device like the Innokin EZ Tube Zenith Minimal.

The kit is perfect for MTL vaping thanks to the Zenith Minimal Tank and compatible Z-Coils, but the device can also go as high as 40W by turning the dial at the base. That kind of output can generate serious clouds, and there are Z-Coils with resistances low enough to suit that kind of power stress.

2100mAh goes a long way, too, so you can afford to experiment with high outputs. One downside is that this increased capacity results in a heavier kit, but it’s a minor flaw in an otherwise magnificently powerful and user-friendly vape pen.

Unlike many kits featured today, this device features a traditional tank, so be ready to learn how to change coils. 

Watt A Vape: Perfectly spaced tiers of wattage output 
Grippable: Comfortable pleather grip patch 
Pick A Pod: Choose between disposable pods and replaceable coils 


Cigarettes don’t have power settings; they’re lit, burned, and gone, and smokers are likely to be frustrated by having to learn about wattages and ohmage in vaping. Luckily, the Voopoo Doric E Pod Kit takes these stresses out of your hands. It comes with three tiers of power that can be switched between with a single button press. This lets you explore a range of vaping outputs without a degree in electronic engineering, making your vape more enjoyable and making you less likely to return to smoking.

The ITO Pods have long, tapered mouthpieces that suit MTL vaping styles. Even better, once you have the kit, you can choose whether you prefer the convenience of disposable pods or the value of empty ones with replaceable coils. 

Super Simple: Easy to use even for an absolute beginner 
Give it a Whirl: Integrated fidget-spinner for restless hands 
Hex Grip: Hexagonal build design for a comfortable grip 

Something nicotine gum and patches can’t offer is something to do with your hands when you quit smoking. The Uwell Whirl F Pod Kit isn’t just great for nicotine delivery but also for satisfying that feeling of having something to hold and fidget with.

The vape pen features an integrated fidget-spinner ring (made from a satisfyingly knurled metal) that keeps me occupied. The hexagonal battery design is also very sensory and comforting to grip.

Admittedly, the 450mAh battery is a little on the low side, and I’ve found the Whirl F better as a desktop device rather than a kit for when out on the town.

But with draw-activation and quickly filled pods, the Uwell Whirl F Pod Kit is a device that even a beginner will find easy and satisfying.

Carry Out: Small and lightweight enough to take anywhere 
LCD FTW: The LCD screen won’t drain the 900mAh battery 
Wearable: Includes a lanyard to help keep the vape in reach 

If you’re used to rolling a ciggie on the road, then you might be put off by hefty, heavy vape kits. You need a compact and discreet vape kit like the Uwell Caliburn GK3 Pod Kit, which has been perfectly constructed for vaping on the move.

Weighing only 50g, the GK3 will never weigh you down when travelling. Due to its featherweight construction, it’s one of the few lanyard-capable vapes worth wearing. The build is also very slim, fitting as easily as a flip-top lighter into your pocket.

While the kit only has a 900mAh battery, smaller than the similarly-sized OXVA XLIM SQ Pro, the use of an LCD screen means that the display won’t drain your battery at all, adding to the travel-friendliness of the vape kit.
