Vape Starter Kits

What's in a Vape Starter Kit?

A starter vape kit pairs a rechargeable battery with a tank or pod and a pre-installed coil, so there's nothing extra to buy apart from e-liquid. Most are designed for mouth-to-lung vaping, which gives a draw similar to a cigarette. Each product page lists what's in the box, along with the battery capacity, tank or pod size and compatible coils.

Choosing Your First Vape Kit

Think about how simple you'd like it to be. Draw-activated pod kits need no buttons at all, while vape pens and button-fired kits give a little more control. Pair your kit with nic salts or 50/50 e-liquids in 10ml bottles. Our vape starter kit buyer's guide and how to vape cover the basics, and what strength vape liquid should I choose? helps with nicotine strength.

What to Look for in a Starter Kit

Compare a few key features. Activation: draw-activated kits fire when you inhale, while button-fired kits give more control. Battery life: a larger battery (measured in mAh) lasts longer between charges, and most kits now charge by USB-C. Pod or tank: pods are the simplest, while pen-style tanks hold more e-liquid and take replaceable coils. Airflow: adjustable airflow lets you tune how tight the draw feels. If you'd rather not refill at all, prefilled pod kits are another simple option.

Coils, Pods and Next Steps

Coils and pods need replacing from time to time, so check which replacement coils or replacement pods your kit uses. Moving on from disposables? Read 5 simple rules for switching from disposables. When you're ready for more power, browse the full range of vape kits or sub ohm kits.
