Picking Your First Vape Starter Kit
Two main types of vape starter kit sit in this collection and both work well as a first vape.
Refillable vape kits are the ones you fill yourself with a bottle of e-liquid. You get thousands of flavour options, control over your nicotine strength, and running costs of about £1 to £2 a day. Vaporesso XROS, OXVA Xlim and Uwell Caliburn are the three most popular beginner vape kits we sell. All auto-draw, all compact, all work with nic salts straight out of the box. Some people search for an e liquid starter kit. That's exactly what these are, a refillable starter vape kit you pair with your own juice.
Prefilled pod kits skip the filling completely. Pods come pre-loaded, you click one in and vape. When it's empty you swap it for a new one. Simpler to use but you're limited to whatever flavours that brand makes, and they're all 20mg. Lost Mary and IVG are the two biggest names in prefilled kits right now.
How Much Is a Vape Starter Kit?
Most beginner vape kits at Ecigone cost between £9.99 and £30. Here's roughly how it breaks down:

On top of the vape starter kit you'll need e-liquid (£1.99 per 10ml bottle at Ecigone) and coils every week or two. Total running costs sit around £1 to £2 a day for a refillable kit. Prefilled pods cost more per fill but there's nothing else to buy.
What to Look for in a Beginner Vape Kit
You don't need to overthink this. A good vape starter kit for a beginner ticks a few boxes:
- Auto-draw (inhale-activated, no buttons)
- Compact enough to carry around
- 500mAh battery minimum so it lasts most of a day
- USB-C charging
- MTL (mouth to lung) draw for that cigarette-like pull
- Works with nic salts at 10mg or 20mg
Most pod vape kits in our range tick all of those. Even the cheapest starter vape kit from a good brand is an easy vape to pick up and use straight away. If you're coming off cigarettes, start with 20mg nic salt. It's the closest match to the throat hit you're used to. Our nicotine strength guide helps you find the right level.
Ecig Starter Kits vs Vape Pen Starter Kits
Same thing, different name. An ecig starter kit, e cigarette starter kit, vape pen starter kit and vape starter pack all mean the same thing. A compact rechargeable vape you fill with e-liquid or use with prefilled pods. The names come from different eras of vaping but the product is the same.
If you search for ecig kits, e cig starter kits, or just "vape for beginners", you'll land on the same kits. They're all in this collection. You might also see "vaping mod starter kits" mentioned online. That usually means a vape starter kit with adjustable wattage, which sits closer to our sub ohm kits than a beginner kit.
