Vape Starter Kits

Vape starter kits are built for anyone picking up their first vape, switching from smoking, or moving on from disposables: simple auto-draw devices with no buttons or settings, ready to use out of the box. Every beginner vape kit here pairs with nic salt e-liquid at 10mg or 20mg for the smooth, satisfying hit that helps ex-smokers make the switch. You will also see them sold as vape starter packs.

There are two beginner-friendly formats: refillable kits you top up with your own e-liquid, and prefilled pod kits where you click in a ready-filled pod, both covered here at every budget. For a step-by-step start, the beginner's guide to vaping walks you through it, or browse the full vape kit collection to see every type we stock.

What Makes a Good Beginner Vape Kit

The best vape kits for beginners keep everything simple. Auto-draw firing lets you just inhale with no button to learn, a refillable or click-in pod saves you rebuilding a tank, and a battery in the 800 to 1500 mAh range comfortably lasts a day and tops up over USB-C. The draw style matters most: a tight mouth-to-lung pull suits new vapers and ex-smokers far better than a big, airy cloud setup.

Vape Starter Kits for Switching from Smoking

If you are coming off cigarettes, choose a mouth-to-lung (MTL) starter kit and a 10mg or 20mg nic salt. The tight draw and faster nicotine hit feel closest to smoking, which is what makes the change stick. There is no need for high power or big clouds at the start, so a compact MTL starter vape kit gives a new vaper everything they need to leave cigarettes behind.

Pod Kits, Vape Pens and Refillable Starter Kits

Most beginner kits are pod kits: small, light and pocket-sized, with a slim vape-pen shape on some models. From there the choice is how they fill. Refillable kits take a bottle of e-liquid you add yourself, opening up thousands of flavours and your own nicotine strength at around £1 to £2 a day to run. Prefilled pod kits come with the pod ready-filled, so you click one in, vape it and swap it when empty, with less mess but fewer flavours. Whichever vaping starter kit you choose, both make an easy first vape.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most vape starter kits cost between £9.99 and £30 in the UK. Entry pod kits sit under £15, the most popular kits land around £15 to £25 with a spare pod or coil, and premium kits with a bigger battery or a screen reach £25 to £30. The clearance section often has starter kits discounted cheaper still.

Three things, and the kit covers most of it. You need the kit itself, which includes the device, a pod or coil and a USB-C cable in the box, then a bottle of nic salt e-liquid at 10mg or 20mg to match it, and ideally one spare pod or coil for when the first wears down. That is everything needed to start.

Most vape starter kits do not include e-liquid, so you choose your own and buy it alongside the kit. A nic salt at 10mg or 20mg suits a beginner pod kit best. The exception is prefilled pod kits, which arrive with the pods already filled and ready to vape.

A beginner vape kit, also called a vape starter kit or, in older terms, an e-cigarette starter kit, is a ready-to-use device aimed at new vapers and people leaving cigarettes. It fires automatically when you inhale and uses simple pods rather than a tank you build, so there is nothing to set up before your first vape.
