Starter Kits

Choosing your first vape kit

Since disposable vapes were banned in England, Scotland and Wales in June 2025, most new vapers start with a refillable pod kit. Choose based on how you want to inhale and how much you want to maintain.

Types of kit

Refillable pod kits are small, rechargeable and simple to refill with 10ml nic salts. Prefilled pod kits use sealed pods you click in and replace. MTL kits give a tighter, cigarette-style draw. DTL and sub-ohm kits make larger clouds and use high VG shortfills. Vape mods offer the most control for experienced users.

Shop by brand

Vaporesso pod kits, VOOPOO pod kits, Uwell, SMOK, Geekvape, Innokin and Aspire.

What you need alongside a kit

Pick up spare pods or coils from refillable pods or coils, and an e-liquid such as nic salts. Our coil and pod finder shows which refills fit each kit.

What is the best vape kit for a beginner?

A refillable MTL pod kit used with 10mg or 20mg nic salts is the usual starting point for people switching from cigarettes.

What is the difference between MTL and DTL?

MTL (mouth-to-lung) draws vapour into the mouth first, like a cigarette. DTL (direct-to-lung) inhales straight into the lungs and uses lower-resistance coils and higher power.

Are disposable vapes still sold?

Single-use disposable vapes have been banned from sale in Great Britain since 1 June 2025. Prefilled pod kits with a rechargeable battery are a refillable alternative.
