There are countless vape kits available on the market, sometimes finding the right one for you can feel like a daunting task. Whether you are new to vaping or have been a vaper for years, we understand that not everyone wants a big vape kit that kicks out huge clouds.
If you are looking for a small vape with a compact design and discreet vapour production, you’ve come to the right place. We’re taking a look at some of our favourite pocket-friendly vapes for 2025, to help you find the best small vape kit you.
The benefits of small vapes
There are many reasons that a small and compact vape may be a good choice for you, whether it is a preference, a need to travel light, or just because you want something more discreet. But just because these vapes are small, does not mean they don’t come with many advantages.
Small vape kits make it easy to take your device with you everywhere you go, fitting perfectly into your pocket or bag, no matter where you are going. They are lightweight and easily portable, with built-in batteries that are simple to charge whenever needed.
Due to the 2ml tank size cap in the UK almost all vapes have a 2ml capacity in their tank or pod, so although these devices may be small in size they can still hold just as much vape juice as any other device.
Small vapes tend to be most common as starter kits, as these do not require a large battery or complex features. This also means that they have a light vapour production that is much more discreet than many larger devices which produce much bigger clouds of vapour.
Because of these many benefits, some vapers opt for a small vape as their everyday vape kit, as they find it better fits their preferences and routine. However, others choose to keep a small kit as a secondary device that they can take with them during those times when they want something more discreet, like a formal event or festival.

What are disposable vapes?
In this post we primarily focused on reusable vape kits, but if the reason you are looking for a small vape is a short event, like a festival or special occasion, a disposable vape may also be a good option to consider. These are a type of single-use vape which comes prefilled with vape juice and with a built-in battery.
On average these small disposable vape kits will offer around 600 puffs per device, which is plenty for a short occasion. Once the e-liquid inside is used up, the device can simply be disposed of, meaning there is no need for refilling, charging, or any other vaping accessories.
Because of the nature of these devices, they are extremely small and lightweight, and create a light, discreet vapour while helping you maintain your smoke-free journey. If you think disposable vapes could be a good option for you, take a look at our blog post ‘Best disposable vapes 2025’.
It is important to bear in mind that the disposable vape ban is due to come into effect on 1st June 2025. This will include anything that is not refillable or reusable. While they are a handy option for the time being, it is a good idea to consider a reusable alternative, including vapes mentioned above, for the future.
