Vape Starter Kits

What is a Vape Starter Kit?

A vape starter kit is a type of e-cigarette that's designed to be as easy to set up and use as possible. Their simplicity makes them a great choice for beginners, such as individuals who are making the switch from smoking to vaping, as well as those with limited experience in vaping generally.

Types of Vape Starter Kit

There are several different types of starter vape kit, ranging from prefilled pod kits, to more advanced starter kits. See below for a brief explanation of each type of vape kit.

Prefilled Pod Kits

Prefilled pod kits are the simplest type of vape to set-up and use. The majority are inhale-activated devices, requiring you to inhale on the mouthpiece to activate them. These devices deliver a more natural introduction to vaping, as the action of simply lifting them to your mouth and inhaling is more reminiscent of smoking. Also, as they come with prefilled pod(s) already filled with e-liquid, they're quicker and easier to set up than other types of starter kit - so you can enjoy vaping faster, and with less faff.

If you're interested in purchasing a prefilled pod vape kit, we'd highly recommend the Lost Mary BM6000, the Elf Bar 600, or the SKE Crystal Bar 600.

Refillable Pod Kits

Refillable pod kits are the second most user-friendly type of vape kit, with many brands opting for disposable pods with built-in coils which minimises maintenance, as well as the mess sometimes caused by removing and replacing vape coils. Also, they tend to be both button-activated and inhale-activated, too.

Each kit comes with at least one vape pod that you can fill with your choice of e-liquid, giving you more control over your nicotine strength, and giving you the chance to pick a flavour that suits your palate.

If a refillable pod kit sounds like it would suit you, we'd suggest opting for one of our bestsellers, like the Vaporesso Xros 5 Nano, the OXVA Xlim Pro 3, or the Aspire Gotek X.

Vape Pens

Vape pens are compact vape kits with a slim, cylindrical shape that's reminiscent of pen - which is where they get their name! Pen vapes are one of the most portable types of vape, as their design makes them particularly pocket-friendly. Many vape pens come with a disposable cartridge, pod, or tank which can be filled with your favourite vape juice; or a prefilled pod/cartridge which is filled with nicotine salt e-liquid, and ready to use right away. Vape pens are one of the most popular types of vape for those who are seeking a discreet device, or for those who lead busy lifestyles and are always on the go.

If the thought of picking up a vape pen appeals to you, know that you can't go wrong with the SKE Bar 15K, the Innokin Go S, or the Hayati Pro Max+ 6000.

Box Mod Starter Kits

Box mod kits feature a mod (the body of the vape) which houses the battery, and come with a tank or pod that connects to the top of the mod. These types of starter kit are slightly more advanced than regular starter vapes, providing a variety of adjustable settings that give vapers the opportunity to fully customise their experience. From variable power to adjustable airflow and detachable tanks, box mod kits are the best choice for beginners who want to be able to fully tailor their vape.

If you're considering a box mod vape kit take a look at the Vaporesso Gen Fit, the FreeMax Gemm, or the ELeaf iStick Power 2.

Choosing the right Starter Vape Kit for you

When you're choosing a starter vape kit for the first time, there are a few things that you should take into consideration before taking the leap.

Ease of Use

Picking something simple makes setting up and using your vape much smoother, so you're more likely to enjoy it and keep using it.

Vapes with complicated adjustable settings can feel overwhelming for vapers with little, or no experience. Our suggestion? Stick to the basics until you feel ready to take the next step.

Battery Life

Taking battery capacity (referred to in mAh) into account is essential for vapers who see themselves using their device frequently - especially if they're unable to recharge it throughout the day. A larger battery capacity means you'll need to charge the vape less frequently and can enjoy it for longer.

Nicotine Strength

Vapes are primarily used as an alternative to smoking, so it's important to consider how much nicotine you might need in order to successfully make the transition. 20mg/2% nicotine is recommended for vapers who need a strong nicotine hit, whilst 10mg/1% is better suited to vapers in need of a more moderate amount of nicotine.

Customisation Options

Starter vapes with adjustable airflow, variable wattage and other customisable features are great for vapers who value the ability to personalise their experience. It's worth bearing in mind if you plan to use the same vape for an extended period. Vapes with multiple adjustable features are more adaptable, giving you the chance to find your feet, and the style of vaping that suits you.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best Vape Starter Kits?

The best vape starter kits for beginners are those that are easy to use and set up, this makes vaping easier whilst you're still getting into the swing of things. There are several brands that are well known for producing high-quality vapes for beginners, including Vaporesso, IVG, Elf Bar and OXVA.

Can I use any e-liquid with my Vape Starter Kit?

No, you can't use any e-liquid with a vape starter kit. Low-powered starter kits, such as MTL (Mouth-to-Lung) starter kits perform best with 50/50 e-liquids. For these vapes we'd strongly recommend using Disposable Bar salts for the best flavour and smoothest throat hit. Powerful vape kits, like sub ohm vape starter kits, give the best performance when used alongside high-VG vape juices.

Yes, they can! Prefilled pod starter kits are an ideal alternative to disposable vapes. They're available in many of the same fantastic flavours, and are designed to closely replicate the way disposable devices feel and function.
