About Vape Kits

What is an e-cigarette?

E-cigarettes were created to offer an alternative nicotine delivery system for adult smokers looking to quit. Making the switch cold turkey can be a really difficult task, and sometimes you miss the physical act of smoking as much as the nicotine. E-cigarettes create a vapour which, when inhaled, feels similar to smoking a cigarette, and helps to not only keep nicotine cravings at bay, but replicate the feel of smoking in a way that patches and gum cannot.

Vaping also offers the opportunity for the user to tailor their device and e-liquid choice to best meet their needs. For example, choosing a nicotine strength that matches your previous smoking habits to effectively satisfy cravings, and offering different airflow designs to simulate the feel of different kinds of cigarette.

Prefilled pod kits

Starter vape kits have been designed specifically for new vapers, with an airflow design that replicates the feel of a cigarette and a simple design that makes it easy for new users to get to grips with using an e-cigarette.

One of the most popular types of device for new users are pre-filled pod systems, as they offer a super simple and user-friendly design that is ideal for those who are new to e-cigarettes.

Prefilled pod kits tend to be extremely small and compact in size with a short charging time, ideal for on-the-go use. Most do not need any buttons and instead are inhale activated, meaning you simply need to inhale through the mouthpiece to use the device.

Instead of refilling the tank and changing the coils, these kits use prefilled pods which are designed specifically for use with that device. These pods cannot be refilled, and the coil does not need to be replaced, when the pod is empty it can be disposed of and replaced with a fresh one.

The pods can be used straight out of the pack, so there is no need to wait for the cotton to absorb the e-liquid, and they click into place so can be changed in seconds, making this type of device ideal for those with a busy lifestyle.

The range of flavours and nicotine strengths on offer will depend on your chosen device, but there are often multiple options to choose from, and the flavour can be changed in just a click without having to change the coil or empty the tank.

Pen style vape kits

Vape pen kits are a popular starting place for many new vapers thanks to their simple, cylindrical design which fits easily into a pocket or bag and feels comfortable in the hand for those making the switch from smoking. Pen style vape kits often feature a built-in battery which is easily charged via USB cable and have minimal buttons and variables for a new vaper to learn to use. Most have only one button, used for both the on/off function and to fire the device.

However, these devices are not exclusively for new vapers, with more powerful sub-ohm vape pens available for advanced vapers.

Some pen style starter kits offer adjustable airflow, meaning that the user can adjust how tight or loose the draw is to best suit their preferences.

These devices have changeable coils, which will need to be replaced periodically when the coil begins to taste burnt.

Depending on the device, pen style vapes may be best used with either 50/50 or high VG e-liquids. Pen devices designed with new vapers in mind often perform best with a 50/50 or high PG e-liquid, whereas more powerful sub-ohm devices pair best with a high VG e-liquid.
