When buying a vape kit it is more than just picking a design you like. To ensure you have the best vaping experience, you'll need a device to match your inhale style, nicotine requirements, and daily routine. Each vaper is different and therefore there is no ‘one-size’ fits all vape kit. Specific e-cigarette kits may suit a particular style of vaping, so knowing your preferred vaping style is important.
Beginner vapers looking to purchase their first vape starter kit may opt for a small and compact device with a lower power output such as a mouth-to-lung style pod vape. More experienced vapers might look for a vape kit that provides more of an intense vaping experience with greater vapour production. In this instance we would recommend a higher wattage sub-ohm vape kit.
If you’re new to vaping, starting with a starter kit or vape pod kits aimed at beginners keeps things straightforward while you get used to how vaping feels.
Every vape device consists of three core components. Each of which work together to turn e-liquid into vapour:
The power source. It can be built-in or removable and determines the device’s battery life and power output, with capacity typically measured in mAh (milliamp hours).
The reservoir that holds your vape liquid. This can be a refillable tank or a convenient snap-in pod.
The heating element. Coils have different resistances (measured in Ohms) that dictate how much vapour and flavour are produced.
When you buy a vape kit online you will receive everything to get started, with the box including the device and at least one pod or coil. With most you will also receive a charger and spare pod, although this can vary by model. E-liquid is usually purchased separately, so you can choose the flavour and nicotine strength that suits you.
When you first start out with vaping, the amount of vape kits available to you can be daunting. Vaping has come along away over the last few years, and with advancements in technology more and more types of vape kits are being introduced. With a wide variety of vape kit types to explore, choosing the right format depends on how you vape and how much control you want.
Disposable e-cigarettes were single-use vapes with non-rechargeable batteries, typically delivering around 600–800 puffs before disposal. These products are no longer available in the UK following a ban introduced in June 2025.

I used disposables on nights out for the sheer convenience, but I always ended up with piles of dead vapes that were costing me a fortune. The Xlim Go fixed it: it's quick to use, the battery lasts longer, I can see my juice level and it’s far cheaper. I’ve never looked back.
Finding the right vape kit starts with understanding how you inhale. The way you draw vapour affects which device, coil resistance, and e-liquid will work best for you, and getting this right makes a noticeable difference to flavour, vapour, and overall satisfaction.
Mouth-to-lung vape kits are designed to closely replicate the feel of smoking a traditional cigarette, with vapour drawn into the mouth before being inhaled.
Restricted direct-to-lung vape kits sit between MTL and full sub-ohm setups, offering a slightly airier draw while still maintaining some resistance.
Direct-to-lung vape kits, often referred to as sub-ohm kits, are designed for inhaling vapour straight into the lungs, similar to taking a deep breath.
