Finding the best vape starter kits
What is vaping?
Quite simply, vaping is the act of using an electronic device such as an e-cigarette to heat a liquid, known as e-liquid or vape liquid, into a vapour to deliver nicotine efficiently into the body through inhaling.
Vape Starter Kit Range
Our selection of new starter e-cig kits includes the best range of pens, pods and mods required to get you started in the world of vaping. Each product comes with detailed descriptions to provide you with a thorough understanding of the device and its unique features.
Vape Starter Bundles

How to choose your first starter kit
Choosing your first vape kit can be an exciting but somewhat overwhelming process, considering the variety of options available. Here are some factors to consider when selecting your first vape kit:
Type of vape device:
- Pod System: Compact and user-friendly, suitable for beginners. They often use pre-filled or refillable pods.
- Vape Pen: Simple, pen-shaped devices with a tank for e-liquid. They are easy to use and maintain.
- Box Mod Kit: More advanced, with adjustable settings. These are suitable for those who want more control over their vaping experience.
Ease of use:
Look for a user-friendly device, especially if you're new to vaping. Pod systems and vape pens are popular with first-time vapers as they include features like draw activation.
Battery life:
Consider the battery capacity, especially if you plan to use your vape throughout the day. Larger amp-hour batteries typically mean longer battery life. Fast charge times are also a benefit.
Coil options:
Coils are a crucial part of the vaping experience. Check if the kit offers different coil options to tailor your vaping experience to your preferences. Higher resistance coils, like 1.0 Ohm and above, with lower wattage are better for higher nicotine content vape liquid and nic salts.
Airflow control:
Many devices have adjustable airflow. Allowing you to control the amount of vapour produced and the intensity of the throat hit. Airflow is important when choosing between direct-to-lung and mouth-to-lung vaping.
E-liquid capacity:
If you don't want to refill your device frequently, choose one with a larger e-liquid capacity. Devices are restricted to a maximum of 2ml capacity. Most starter kits offer easy-fill tanks and pods or pre-filled disposable pods.
Nicotine strength:
If you're transitioning from smoking to vaping, consider the nicotine strength of the e-liquid. Higher nicotine levels are more suitable for those used to smoking regularly.
Portability:
Consider how portable you need your device to be. Pod systems and vape pens are smaller and more portable, while box mods are bulkier.
Budget:
Determine your budget and find a kit that fits within it. We have many affordable options for beginners that still provide a satisfying vaping experience.
Reviews and recommendations:
Check our video reviews online and seek recommendations from friends or experienced vapers to help you identify reliable and well-performing devices.
Brand reputation:
Stick to reputable brands like Aspire, Geek Vape, Smok, Vaporesso and VooPoo known for producing quality devices, ensuring better performance and safety.
Safety features:
Check if the device has safety features such as overcharge protection, short circuit protection, and low voltage protection.
Remember that your preferences and needs might change over time, so don't be afraid to explore different devices as you become more familiar with vaping. It's also important to educate yourself on proper usage, maintenance, and safety precautions associated with vaping.

How to look after your new starter Kit
Why You Should Clean Your Vape Regularly
Over time, residue builds up, dulling the flavour and reducing performance. Follow these tips to keep your vape starter kit in tip-top condition.
Tank: We recommend that you flush and rinse your tank or pod with warm water at least once a week. If you can, remove the coil before you do it.
Mouthpiece or drip tip: Use a cotton bud or tissue to remove any dust or lint that has built up. Especially if you carry it in your pocket or the bottom of your bag.
Battery connections: Again, use a tissue or cotton bud to clean the battery connections. Magnetic pods usually sit in a recess where fluid and dirt can build up.
Charging and airflow ports: Ensure all ports are clear of dirt or lint by blowing or using a toothpick.
Why You Should Take Care Of Your Battery
The battery is at the heart of your new vape starter kit. A well-looked-after battery will ensure that your new vape kit regularly performs at its best.
- Regularly charge your battery
- Avoid overcharging. Don't leave it on charge when it is fully charged for long periods. Use a suitable charger for your device.
- Store your vape or battery in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving it in direct sunlight to overheat.
- Keep your battery contacts clean.
Why You Should Prime your Coils
Why You Should Replace Your Coils Often
Over time, your coil will lose its performance due to general usage and liquid residue building up. Replacing your coils often will help maintain optimum performance and taste.
Signs your coil needs changing:
- Your favourite e-liquid starts to taste bitter, burnt, or muted.
- Vapour clouds reduce in volume.
- Gurgling or leaking from the pod or tank when vaping.
- Vape liquid in your mouth when you inhale.
A new coil or replacement pod will revitalise the performance of your vape starter kit.
Why You Should Store Your New Vape Properly
Your new vape starter kit is an investment in your journey to quit. An electrical device, not unlike your phone, so don't just throw it around. Avoid just throwing it into the bottom of your bag.
Here are some handy tips to keep your device looking and working the same as the day you bought it:
- Keep it upright: This helps avoid leaks
- Avoid direct sunlight: Allowing your vape to overheat can damage your battery, cause the liquid to lose its flavour and increase the risks of leaks.
- Storing your device: If you're not going to use your vape for a while, empty the pod or tank. Remove the battery if you can. Store in a cool, dry place.
- Don't leave it plugged in: If you're not going to be using your device for any length of time, never leave it plugged in to the charger.
