If you’re looking for a vape kit that allows you the freedom to use your preferred flavour and nicotine strength vape juice, or even if you’re looking for an alternative to disposable vapes, refillable vape kits are a great vaping option.

We’re taking a look at the best refillable vape kits for 2025, to help you find the right refillable vape pen to best suit you!

What are the benefits of refillable vape kits?

Refillable vape kits are a great option for many vapers, from those who are just getting started on their vaping journey, to advanced vapers who have been vaping for years.

Freedom to pick your favourite flavours and nicotine strength

Unlike disposable vapes and prefilled pod kits, refillable vape kits can be repeatedly topped up with any compatible vape juice. This means that you are not limited to a set range of flavours, but can choose from the massive range of different vape juice flavours available to find the ones you love.

This also means that you have the freedom to choose the nicotine strength that best suits your needs. Most disposable vapes and prefilled pod vapes only come in the highest nicotine strength, which would not necessarily be suitable for all vapers.

Those who were light or infrequent smokers will only usually need a low nicotine strength to keep their nicotine cravings at bay and avoid withdrawal symptoms. Refillable vape kits allow you to use whichever strength you need, or even to use nicotine-free vape juice if preferred.

A more cost-effective and environmentally-friendly option

Because the tank or pod of a refillable vape kit can be repeatedly refilled before the pod or coil will need to be replaced, they offer a much more cost effective alternative to disposable and prefilled vapes.

Both a standard nicotine-containing disposable vape and the average pack of prefilled pods cost around the same amount as a 10ml bottle of e-liquid, if not more. However, the e-liquid amount of vape juice each options offers differs quite drastically.

A standard nicotine-containing disposable vape contains just 2ml of e-liquid, and will need to be thrown away when empty. Prefilled pods usually come in packs of two, meaning they offer 4ml of vape juice per pack, and the pods will also need to be thrown away when empty. . For the same price you can get a 10ml bottle of e-liquid, which can offer five vape refills, offering much more bang for your buck.

Refillable vape kits are also a more environmentally friendly option, as they produce much less vape waste than prefilled pod kits and disposable vapes.

An alternative to disposable vapes

While disposable vapes are a convenient and useful short-term vaping option, they are not designed to be used all the time. Their disposable nature means that the price of constantly replacing your disposable vape can quickly add up, and they also generate a lot of excess plastic and electrical waste which can only be recycled through a specialist recycling facility.

With the upcoming disposable vape ban that comes into effect on 1st June 2025, it’s worth considering switches to a reusable vape. They can be recharged whenever needed and can be paired with any compatible e-liquid, with only the pod or coil needing to be periodically replaced, rather than the whole device.

By pairing a refillable vape kit with a bar salt e-liquid like ELFLIQ or Double Brew you can even continue to use all of the most popular disposable vape flavours and get a similar vaping experience, making the transition from disposable vapes to reusable vapes feel like a breeze.

We have more tips for making this transition in in our blog post ‘Alternatives to disposable vapes’.

Best refillable vape for new vapers

Three CUE 2.0 refillable vape kits in assorted colours on a white background

If you are still quite new to vaping, and looking for small refillable vapes that are simple to use and offer a great alternative to smoking, we recommend the CUE 2.0 kit.

The CUE 2.0 is a complete vaping experience in a compact design, making it easy to use for vapers making the switch from disposables to a reusable kit.

This device utilises both refillable and prefilled pods, depending on your preference.

The refillable pods can be paired with any 50/50 vape juice in whichever flavour and nicotine strength best suits you. The pods can be refilled whenever needed and will only need to be replaced when the coil inside starts to taste burnt.

Alternatively, you can use the prefilled CUE pods. These 2ml pods are prefilled with 2ml of 17 mg/ml nicotine strength e-liquid. All you need to do is click the pod into place and it’s ready to use.

SMOK introduced the NOVO GT pod kit, offering a 1300 mAh internal capacity battery. This big battery capacity allows the Novo GT to last all day before needing to be recharged, perfect if you spend a lot of time out of the house and need a device which can keep up with you.

The NOVO GT is designed for ease of use for new vapers, while also offering more advanced features for experienced vapers. There is an adjustable wattage range of 5-30 watts, as well as a variety of operating modes to personalise your experience

This pod kit offers two different pod resistances, so vapers can find a draw that suits their vaping style. The pods are top fill, making it simple and mess free to refill the pods while on the go.

Best refillable vape for heavy smokers

Three Innokin Endura T18 II refillable vape pens in assorted colours on a white background

If you are making the switch from smoking to vaping, and are looking for the best reusable vapes for heavy smokers, you should definitely check out the Innokin Endura T18 II kit.

This device has a pen-style design with a long, slim body that is easily portable and very robust. The airflow design and coil structure really accurately replicate the feel of smoking, which will make the transition easier by feeling familiar and comfortable. They also lend themselves well to use with high nicotine strengths, which is usually the best place to start for heavy smokers, creating a smooth and satisfying vapour. There are also three different power settings to choose from, so you can turn the setting up if you need a bit more of a punch.

Because heavy smokers are likely going to use their vape kit much more often than lighter smokers, a larger battery capacity is often a good feature to look for. The T18 II has a 1300 mAh built-in battery, which offers plenty of power to get you through the day.

Best refillable vape for MTL vaping

Five Vaporesso XROS 4 Mini refillable vape kits in assorted colours on a white background

Vaporesso’s range of XROS devices have proven to be popular among vapers. The XROS 4 Mini is a fantastic option if you are looking for a reusable vape kit with a good power output that’s simple and straight forward.

This pod vape kit has a mouth-to-lung vaping style, as well as some additional features so you can tailor your vaping experience. It features adjustable airflow, so you can control how much airflows through the coil for a looser or tighter draw.

The XROS pods are top fill, meaning they’re easy to refill and can be paired with a 50/50 vape juice. The XROS 4 Mini is compatible with the full range of XROS pods, ranging from 0.4 to 1.2 ohm resistance.

Best refillable vape for RDL vaping

Three Vaporesso LUXE X2 refillable vape kits in assorted colours on a white background

If you have been using a starter kit and now want to upgrade to a more intermediate vape, we recommend the Vaporesso LUXE X2 pod kit.

The precise airflow control and pod design on this device allow for not only mouth-to-lung vaping, but also for restricted-direct-to-lung vaping, allowing you to transition to a different vaping style without going straight to direct-to-lung vape kits.

While mouth-to-lung (MTL) vaping replicates the way in which you would smoke a cigarette, by inhaling first into your mouth and then into your lungs, direct-to-lung vaping (DTL) means you draw the vapour straight into your lungs. Restricted-direct-to-lung (RDL) bridges the gap between the two, feeling less similar to smoking a cigarette but offering more vapour production.

In additional to RDL vaping, the LUXE X2 offers a large 2000 mAh internal capacity battery and an adjustable wattage range of 5-40 watts to give some vapers that extra bit of power they’re looking for.

Best refillable vape for sub-ohm vaping
