Vape Kits & Mods

What is a vape kit?

Vape kits – or simply vapes, e-cigs, or kits, contain everything you will need to get started with vaping, hence the name! Most vape kits will consist of a tank, the device, its battery, a charging cable (if the battery is built-in) and one or two coils.

What type of vape kits are there?

But with the sheer amount of e-cig kits available on the market, we recognise that if you are a new vaper, selecting the right one for you can be easier said than done! Vape kits are most commonly separated into the following categories:

Starter Kits

The ideal option for new vape starters with little to no vaping experience, starter vape kits are extremely user-friendly, and due to their numerous safety features, they are the perfect way to ensure that you are vaping safely.

When purchasing a starter kit as a beginner, it is important to ensure that you choose one that is in line with your experience level, as beginner starter kits are not only simpler to use and get the hang of, they do not compromise on functionality or provide any less exciting features. If you are an ex-smoker, your transition towards vaping will also become as simple and convenient as possible also.

Our range of e-cigarette starter kits contains many of the subcategories listed below, such as easy-to-use pen kits, pocket-sized pod kits and box-mod style devices.

Generally speaking, as starter kits are all-in-one devices that provide you with all of the hardware that you will need to get vaping, they are the most affordable way of beginning your vaping journey.

Sub-ohm (Advanced) Kits

Unlike regular starter kits, sub ohm kits are aimed at more advanced vapers with more experience. They provide more power to the coils of your device, allowing the user to achieve more control out of their vape, a larger amount of vapour production and a more intense flavour profile. Sub-ohm kits get their name from the coils they use. As coils designed for sub ohm devices have a resistance of below one ohm, the level of airflow that can be taken from each inhale with a sub ohm kit is much larger than that of their plus ohm counterparts. Sub ohm kits are designed for vapers who prefer direct-to-lung (DTL) inhaling, instead of drawing to your mouth and then into your lungs, which is more common amongst electronic cigarettes emulating traditional cigarettes. As this type of device is more geared towards more advanced vapers, this is where you will find the majority of innovative features. Temperature control, variable wattage and adjustable airflow are just some of the exciting features you can expect to see on sub ohm devices within our range.

Pen Kits

Vape pen kits are portable, pocket-sized devices that are cylindrical in shape. Compactly-built and featuring longer-lasting batteries than the majority of other devices, vape pens are an ideal option for transitioning smokers. Pen kits can be quite diverse in style as far as vape devices go, as they offer both mouth-to-lung and sub ohm options and a wide variety of innovative features that are not uncommon on even the most advanced of vape kits. Much like pod-style devices, pen kits are ideal options for vaping on the go due to their size. However, despite being smaller, pen-style devices can deliver a lot of power.

Pod Kits

Much like pen-style vaping kits, pod systems are compact, portable devices that do not compromise on functionality and performance, despite their small size. Instead of featuring a tank to hold its e-liquid, pod mods use pods which are attached to the end of the device to give the vape its juice. These 1.5ml or 2ml pods come in one of two options:

Replaceable pods are pre-filled with e-liquid and come with a coil already attached to its end. As the name suggests, when this type of pod runs out of e-liquid, all you will need to do is replace it, but remember that the type of pod will need to be compatible with your device.

Refillable pods are less limiting in that you can fill them with any type of e-liquid that you choose, as long as it is suitable for the device.

Pod devices are designed with ergonomic comfort and ease of use in mind, so no matter your level of vaping experience, pod-style kits are an excellent option for vaping on the go. Refillable pod kits usually work best with nicotine salts or e-liquids of a 50/50 ratio. 

Disposable Kits

Disposable vape kits combine the same elements as numerous different types of vape kits but with one key difference – they are disposable! Also going by the name of Puff Bars, these kits are as convenient as can be whilst maintaining superior levels of power and flavour. Much like pod and pen style devices, they are pocket-sized, meaning that they are discreet and not obnoxious. They come pre-filled with e-liquid and are available in a variety of different nicotine strengths. They are designed to offer the perfect combination of flavour, throat hit and instant craving relief. As these devices do not feature fire buttons, you inhale just as you would a regular cigarette, making them more similar to cig-a-like devices. Once the battery life dies on these kits, simply dispose of them responsibly and find a suitable replacement. Disposable kits are pre-charged with a puff counter set with a certain amount of puffs.

What is a Vape Mod?

Vape mods are the sources of power behind vape kits. Also known as APV’s, (Advanced Personal Vaporisers), mods, as the name suggests, are modifiable, rebuildable devices that boost the power of a vape kit and allow the user to intake and exhale more vapour. The additional power that is generated through the mod is converted into heat and used to heat up the coil in a device’s tank to vaporise the e-liquid and produce the vapour that is inhaled. 

In the majority of cases, vape kits will include mods as a part of the full set up, and you will not be able to vape by buying a mod alone. However, there are many situations in which we would recommend buying a mod as opposed to a vape device kit, such as if you are looking to customise your kit by upgrading your existing mod to one that that offers a more customised, functional vaping experience, if you are seeking a mod that features replaceable batteries as opposed to those that are built-in, or simply if you are hoping to customise the aesthetics of your vape kit further.

Vape mods offer you the highest level of control over the settings of your vape, directly affecting the amount of smoke you blow, the amount of flavour you taste, the temperature you fire at, and much more.

Heralded for their customisability, box mods can truly transform your vaping game and allow you to blow clouds exactly how you see fit. 

Types of Mods

Regulated Box Mods

Regulated vape box mods take an incredibly important factor into consideration – your personal safety. Encompassing each of the typical regulatory features that can be found with vape kits designed for beginners such as short-circuit protection, overheating protection, re-charge and firing cut-off and more, regulated box mod vapes allow you to tinker with your settings to fully personalise your vaping experience whilst staying within recommended ranges and the ever-important parameters of safety. 

Mechanical Mods

Generally speaking, mech mods are more suited to vapers with more experience as they are unregulated and come without the traditional built-in features around safety and security that you can expect from regulated box mods and beginner vape kits. 

Instead of having power run through an electronic circuit that separates your battery from the coil as in a regulated mod, mechanical mods send power from your battery straight to the atomiser, granting you unrivalled levels of control over the device’s resistance – or lack of. Many users hoping to blow huge clouds opt for mech mods due to their unregulated resistance and often pair them with RDA (Rebuildable Dripping Atomiser) tanks to maximise their cloud production. If this sounds like you, you can shop our range of RDA tanks here.

Squonk Mods

Squonk mods are unique in that they are the only mod to contain a built-in bottle filled with e-liquid that is used to saturate your wicks and coils with e-liquid on demand. As they can store more e-juice than even some of the largest tanks on the market – with some mods holding up to 7ml – they are the perfect option for vapers hoping to push the boundaries on cloud production without needing to carry additional juice.

When you squeeze these mods to fire, the atomiser deck is fed through a small tube as the e-liquid travels upwards and saturates your coils. Upon release, any excess liquid is vacuumed away and back into the mod, reducing the risk of any juice spillage.

The ultimate sub-ohm vaping experience, this latest trend allows you to step up your vaping game to reach the highest levels of wattage at the lowest resistances, rewarding you with maximum flavour, cloud production and battery life.

Single Battery Mods

The ideal option for those hoping to keep the weight of their vape down and maintain a sleek, minimalist design, single battery mods are great for powerful sub ohm vaping performance. Battery types include built-in batteries and replaceable batteries, and most often require 18650 and 21700 batteries.

Double Battery Mods

Offering an extensive battery life and higher power output, simply put, double battery mods keep you vaping for longer periods of time without needing to recharge.
