The 8 Best Vape Starter Kits for UK Vapers in 2025

By shane margereson

With the UK disposable vape ban now fully in effect, vapers are facing a decision: evolve or waste money. While many are panicking about losing their convenient disposables, savvy vapers are upgrading to starter kits that blow disposables out of the water, literally and figuratively.

Picture this: instead of getting 600 puffs for a fiver, you're getting 30,000 puffs for around £12. Instead of charging daily, you're charging weekly. Instead of being stuck with one flavour until it dies, you're switching between multiple options whenever the mood takes you.

The disposable ban isn't the end of convenient vaping, it's the beginning of better vaping. Today's starter kits have cracked the code, taking everything brilliant about disposables (convenience, flavour, simplicity) and supercharging it while fixing the problems. No more daily charging anxiety, no more flavour roulette, and definitely no more environmental guilt.

What exactly is a starter kit? Think of it as the Swiss Army knife of vaping. You get a rechargeable device that houses prefilled pods or capsules, delivering all the convenience of a disposable but with the sustainability and value of a real vape system. Most include everything you need: device, pods, charging cable, you're sorted from day one.

We've tested every single one of these kits with the same brutal honesty that's kept Ecigone going since 2014. These aren't just the best starter kits available, they're proof that the future of UK vaping is brighter than ever.

How to Choose Your Perfect Kit

Choosing the right starter kit comes down to what matters most in your daily vaping routine. Whether you're after variety, simplicity, or cutting-edge features, there's a kit that'll fit your lifestyle perfectly.

Want multiple flavours in one device? IVG 2400 (4 flavours) or Lost Mary NERA 30K (dual flavours)

If you get bored with the same flavour all day, these kits let you switch things up without carrying multiple devices. The IVG 2400 gives you four different tastes in one compact device, while the NERA 30K offers dual flavours that complement each other perfectly.

Love stats, screens, and tech features? OXVA Xlim SQ Pro 2

For gadget lovers who want their vape to be as smart as their phone. You get puff tracking, customizable interfaces, and useful daily tools all built into one advanced device that'll keep you entertained for hours.

Just want it to work without fuss? Vaporesso XROS 5 Mini or Lost Mary BM6000

Perfect for anyone who wants to fill, charge, and vape without any complicated settings or maintenance. These kits automatically adjust everything for you, so you can focus on enjoying your vape rather than tweaking settings.

Need maximum portability? OXVA Xlim GO or Uwell Caliburn G4 Mini

Ideal for stealth vaping or anyone with limited pocket space. These compact legends deliver proper performance despite their tiny size, and you'll often forget you're carrying them until you need a vape.

Want the most puffs for your money? Lost Mary NERA 30K or Titan X Vape Kit

When value per puff matters most, these high-capacity kits deliver incredible longevity. You'll get weeks or even months of vaping from a single purchase, making them the most economical choice for heavy vapers.
