Vape Kits for Every Vaping Style
How you vape decides which vape kit suits you best. Coming off disposables or cigarettes? A pod kit with MTL draw and nic salts gets you the closest match. After bigger clouds and bolder flavour? Sub-ohm kits with adjustable wattage and mesh coils are where you want to be.

Pod kits and starter vape kits sit at the simple end of the range. Sub-ohm kits and advanced kits hand you full control over wattage, airflow and coil choice. Prefilled pod vape kits land somewhere in the middle for vapers who want rechargeable convenience without filling or swapping coils.
Mouth-to-Lung (MTL) Vape Kits
Mouth to lung vape kits have a tight draw that mimics smoking, where you pull vapour into your mouth first and then inhale. Nic salts at 10mg or 20mg in a 50/50 e-liquid work best with this style, and pod kits from OXVA, Uwell and Vaporesso lead the MTL category. Batteries range from 700mAh up to 1,800mAh with USB-C fast charging across the board.
If you're an ex-smoker or switching from disposables, MTL Pod kits are usually the right starting point. Tight airflow paired with higher nicotine strength nails that throat hit without producing big clouds. Our MTL vs DTL vs RDL guide breaks down each vaping style if you're not sure which way to go.
DTL and Sub-Ohm Vape Kits
DTL vape kits use coils under 1.0 ohm at higher wattages. Vapour goes straight into your lungs rather than sitting in your mouth first, so you get bigger clouds and more intense flavour. Pair them with high VG shortfill e-liquids at 0mg or 3mg nicotine.
Most sub-ohm kits take external 18650 or 21700 batteries that swap out when they're flat. Adjustable wattage, mesh coils and wide-open airflow come as standard. Geekvape's Aegis range and Voopoo's Drag kits have owned this space for years and remain the go-to for most DTL vapers. View our Sub-Ohm vape kit range
Cheap Vape Kits and Budget Options
Cheap vape kits don't mean you're getting something rubbish. Prefilled pod kits start from £2.99 and work as a rechargeable vape with the same flavours as disposables. Refillable pod kits from Uwell, OXVA and Vaporesso sit between £10 and £25 and last months with regular coil changes.
It's the running cost that really makes the difference though. A refillable vape kit with nic salt e-liquid works out to roughly £1 to £2 per day. Over a month that's a fraction of what disposables or cigarettes cost.
Box Mod Vape Kits
Box mod vape kits come with a mod and tank together in one box, ready to vape out of the packaging. You get variable wattage from 5W up to 200W+, temperature control modes and firing profiles for different coil materials. Power comes from external batteries, usually a single 18650 or dual 18650/21700 cells.
Go dual battery and the kit lasts longer between charges while pushing harder at higher wattages. Most box mod kits ship with a sub-ohm tank fitted with mesh coils, so there's no hunting for parts on day one. Not sure whether a pod kit or box mod suits you?
