From starter vape kits to advanced vape kits, there are countless vaping options available and the range is constantly growing. So whether you are looking for your first device or have been vaping for a while and want to upgrade to something new, finding the right vape kit for you can be a daunting task.
We’ve taken a closer look at some of the best vape kits for 2024 to give you an idea about what to look for in your next vape kit.
Best vapes for beginners
Vape starter kits, as the name suggests, are designed specifically with new vapers in mind. The airflow and power output of the device aim to replicate the feel of cigarette smoking, to feel familiar and satisfying to those who are using electronic cigarettes to help them quit smoking, and they usually have relatively simple designs that are easy for new users to get to grips with.
Pod vape kits have been an extremely popular option for new vapers thanks to their user-friendly nature and small, compact size. There are two different types of pod kits, prefilled and refillable, each with their own pros and cons that make them suitable for different types of vapers.
Best prefilled pod kit
If you find yourself a little apprehensive about learning the ins and outs of using an e-cigarette, prefilled pod kits are an excellent place to start. They require very little maintenance and are one of the most simple types of e-cigarette, making them ideal if you are making the switch from smoking to vaping and want an extremely user-friendly device to get you started.
When it comes to the best vape kit in the prefilled pod range there are two kits that equally deserve that title.
The Elf Bar ELFA PRO is a convenient and compact device with a huge range of pods available, giving you plenty of variety and the chance to try all different flavours to find the ones you love.
The pods come prefilled with e-liquid, so you do not need to worry about refilling with e-liquid or changing the coil, making it a really approachable option for beginners. To keep things nice and simple there are no buttons or settings, and the device utilises inhale activation so you simply need to inhale through the mouthpiece to vape.
The ELFA PRO is compatible with the ELFA PRO pods and original ELFA pods, and is also cross compatible with the Lost Mary Tappo pods, so there are countless different flavour options to choose from, ensuring you will never get bored.
The device itself has a small and simple pen-style design, housing a 500 mAh built-in battery that can be fast charged using a USB-C cable, making it perfect for those who are frequently on-the-go and need a device that can keep up with their busy lifestyle.
The Lost Mary Tappo works in the same way as the ELFA PRO, but has a square, palm-sized design that fits perfectly in your pocket.
Like the ELFA PRO, the Tappo is compatible with not only the Lost Mary Tappo pods, but also the Elf Bar ELFA and ELFA PRO pods, so there are over 50 different pod options to choose from. Each pod is prefilled with 2ml of 20 mg/ml e-liquid and has a smooth nicotine salt formula, which is ideal for keeping cravings at bay throughout the day.
Once the pod is empty it is incredibly easy to remove and replace, so there is no mess or fuss, just pop the old one in the bin and pop in a new one. This also makes it easy to switch between different flavours whenever you want.
One drawback of these devices is that the pods are only available in a 20 mg/ml nicotine strength, which is the highest strength and will not necessarily be suitable for all vapers.
Best vape kit for nic salts
Refillable pod kits are a versatile option that make the perfect starter kit for those who want to choose their own e-liquids. This is ideal for those who were light smokers and need a lower nicotine strength, as these devices can be refilled with any strength e-liquid and you are not limited to a prefilled pod range. They also make a great step up for those who have been using a prefilled pod kit and want something a little more versatile.
The XROS 3 Mini is packed full of Vaporesso’s state of the art technology, like the integrated AXON chipset and COREX heating technology, to offer you the most smooth, consistent, and flavourful vaping experience possible with every puff. But don’t be fooled, just because it contains all of this fancy tech does not mean that it is not incredibly easy to use.
The device contains a 1000 mAh built-in battery that offers plenty of power to keep you going throughout the day, and the power output is preset to give you the perfect inhale.
The pods can be refilled with any 50/50 or high PG e-liquid, so you can choose the exact flavour and nicotine strength that best suits you. This device pairs perfectly with nicotine salt vape juice, which satisfies nicotine cravings in just a few puffs and offers a smooth inhale that is not harsh on your throat.
It is easy to fill the pods up whenever needed, and they can be filled multiple times before the coil will start to taste burnt and need to be replaced. At this point, the used coil can simply be thrown away.
Best vape for portability
The Vaporesso LUXE Q2 SE is my go to when I’m looking for a vape kit to take with me on a busy day out of the house. It’s small size and lightweight feel make it perfect for when you are on the go, as it is easy to store, and it even comes with a handy lanyard that lets you keep it right there, ready to use whenever you need it.
There are no buttons on the Q2 SE, so even if you’re in a rush it is easy to have a quick puff whenever you need one. This is also a big plus for those who are quitting smoking and want something that feels relatively similar. You can inhale on the device in the same way you would with traditional cigarettes, and that familiarity can really help in a smoking cessation tool.
The Vaporesso Q pods have an anti-leaking design to offer you peace of mind when the device is not in use, so even if they are stored in a pocket or bag the e-liquid inside is staying exactly where it should be. The pods also stay secure in the device, so you won’t have to worry about searching the bottom of your bag for a stray pod!
Another little thing that I really enjoy about this device is the way it looks. It has a sleek and stylish design, with some lovely colour options that add a touch of personality.
Vape kits that make the perfect next step
If you have been vaping for a while and are looking to upgrade your device to something with more power and some added features, these intermediate kits could be your perfect next step.
Best vape for MTL vaping
If you are looking to upgrade to a new vape kit that allows you to experiment with different settings, but still want to be able to stick with mouth-to-lung vaping, the Geekvape Wenax Q is a fabulous bit of kit.
The replaceable pods are available with different resistances, so you can try out the different options to find what feels most comfortable for you. The Wenax Q has a wattage range of 5 – 25 watts, allowing you to turn the power up or down to suit your chosen coil and find the settings that feel most comfortable for you. It is easy to keep track of your chosen settings on the OLED display screen, which also lets you keep track of your remaining battery power, taking the guess work out of when to charge.
The device offers a fantastic mouth-to-lung (MTL) inhale, but can also be used with a restricted direct-to-lung (RDL) vaping style if you want to test out something a little different and bridge the gap before getting a more advanced kit.
Best vape for DTL vaping
If you’re looking to upgrade to an intermediate vape kit that really lets you play with different vaping styles and features, the Vaporesso LUXE XR MAX sub-ohm pod kit may just be exactly what you are looking for.
I love that this device helps to bridge the gap between mouth-to-lung and direct-to-lung vaping. If you’re new to DTL vaping and want to ease into it, you can start off the with RDL pods, then transition to the DTL pods when you are ready for a more airy and cloudy vape.
The LUXE XR MAX has adjustable wattage with a maximum output of 80W, plus a 2800 mAh built-in battery, so it can really keep up with you throughout the day, even at higher wattage settings.
As a more powerful sub-ohm device this kit is best paired with a high VG e-liquid and best used with a low nicotine strength.
Best advanced vape kits
If you’re looking for advanced sub-ohm kits with high power, sub-ohm coils, and a big vapour production, these two kits are definitely a great place to start. Advanced vape kits are designed for experienced vapers, and do not replicate the feel of smoking cigarettes in the same way that starter vape kits do.
Best vape kit for clouds
The Vaporesso Armour Max kit is certainly one for the cloud chasers, with a power output of 5 – 220W and AXON chipset. It is powered by external batteries, giving you the choice of two 18650 or 21700 batteries depending on your preference.
Something I really appreciate about this box mod kit is that it comes with a rubber tank cover, which can protect the glass of the tank, and a replacement glass so you have a back-up should an accident occur. It also has full-body TPU protection, which makes it scratch resistant.
The device comes with the Vaporesso iTank 2, and two choices of coils, letting you choose the resistance and power setting that you prefer.
Best vape kit for flavour
Most vapers are familiar with VOOPOO’s widely popular Drag vape kit range, and the latest addition is a phenomenal sub-ohm advanced vape kit that has all the features and capabilities you could possibly want in a vape kit!
The Drag 4 maintains the familiar Drag style, with striking leather and walnut accent panels that give it a really high quality feel and finish. Powered by two 18650 batteries and with a power output of 5 – 177W it is packing enough power to offer huge clouds all day!
The kit comes with the UFORCE-L tank which features leak-proof top airflow and a choice of coils, perfect for pairing with high VG e-liquids and a DTL vaping style. I found the flavour payoff from this device absolutely fantastic, and the coils had good longevity with consistent vapour production.
