Vape Kits

With so many vape kits available, finding the right one can feel overwhelming. Whether you’re a first-time vaper looking for a starter kit or a seasoned user wanting to upgrade your sub-ohm kit, we have plenty of options.

There are two main categories of vape kits:

Closed Vape Kits
These kits use prefilled pods that cannot be refilled. The pods are single-use, and the devices are usually inhale-activated, making them small, easy to use, and low maintenance. Aside from prefilled pods, another type of closed system is disposable vapes.

Open Vape Kits
These refillable kits allow you to choose your own e-liquid flavors and nicotine strengths. They are more cost-effective than prefilled pods and typically have longer battery life but require more maintenance and are often bulkier.

There are also two distinct vaping styles, each requiring a slightly different kit. For more details, check out our guide to MTL (Mouth to Lung) and DTL (Direct to Lung) vaping.

At Vape Forest, we offer vape kits from top brands such as Aspire, Smok, Vaporesso, and Innokin. Below is an overview of the main types of vape kits.

Pod kits are small, easy-to-use devices that are popular among both new and experienced vapers. A vape pod is essentially a different type of tank that has a limited lifespan and requires regular replacement. However, this low-maintenance feature makes pod kits convenient for daily use.

At Vape Forest, we stock a wide range of both prefilled pod kits and refillable pod kits, which are a more cost-effective option.

Pen kits are classic cylindrical vape devices that have been popular for years. These open system kits allow you to use any e-liquid from a wide selection. If you’re unsure which e-liquid to choose, our ultimate guide to e-liquids can help.

Many pen kits come with adjustable features like variable power and airflow control, so you can customize your vaping experience. While they require regular coil changes and occasional cleaning, pen kits are versatile and more affordable over time compared to pod kits.

Sub-ohm kits are designed for advanced vapers who prefer Direct to Lung (DTL) vaping. These kits produce larger clouds of vapor and are typically used with low nicotine e-liquids. Sub-ohm kits offer high customization, including adjustable wattage, temperature control, airflow options, and various coil resistance choices. However, they require more upkeep than pod devices.

Most vape starter kits include everything you need to start vaping, except e-liquids, which you will need to purchase separately. The kit usually includes a battery unit, a tank or pod, and a charging cable. Some advanced kits may require separate batteries and chargers.

Prefilled pod starter kits contain everything needed, including a battery unit, prefilled pods, and a charging cable. Though the pods only last a day or two, these kits provide an all-in-one solution to try vaping before committing to additional pods.

Cost is one of the key reasons many people switch from smoking to vaping, and you’ll likely find vaping much cheaper. While vaping involves an upfront cost for a starter kit, the ongoing costs for e-liquid and coils or pods are far lower than the cost of cigarettes.

Vape kits range in price, with advanced products costing £60-80, but a good-quality starter kit can be found for as little as £10-20, which is less than the cost of 40 cigarettes. Vape Forest also offers great deals in our clearance section, so even if you’re on a budget, there are affordable options.

Our cost analysis video shows how a 20-a-day smoker can save over £3,000 a year by fully switching to vaping.

Choosing the right starter kit can be confusing. If you’re new to vaping, we recommend starting with a simple device and gradually moving up as you gain confidence. Consider factors like:

• Size: Will you carry it in your pocket or a bag? For portability, check out our compact kits.
• Ease of use: If you want a simple setup, look into our First Time Switcher Kits.
• Maintenance: Are you comfortable changing coils, or would you prefer prefilled pods?
• Battery life: If you need long battery life, explore our high-capacity kits.
• Vaping style: We offer a variety of MTL and DTL kits to suit your preferences.

Our guide can help you decide which style is best, and our Top Ten Vape Starter Kits list offers specific recommendations.

There’s no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to vape kits. What works best for one person may not be suitable for another. At Vape Forest, we make the process easier with a series of guides tailored to your needs. Whether you’re looking for the best starter kits or top sub-ohm kits, we’ve got you covered.
