Shop for the latest & greatest Vape Pen Kits Products from Legion Of Vapers.
Vape pen kits are slim, cylindrical, refillable devices that sit comfortably between a disposable and a full-blown mod setup. You get a rechargeable battery, a tank or clearomiser, a coil, and a charging cable in the box – everything you need to start vaping straight away. Most pen kits use a single button or draw-activation, keeping things simple without sacrificing performance. The range covers beginner-friendly MTL devices that mimic the feel of a cigarette right through to capable sub-ohm setups built for bigger vapour production. Brands like OXVA, Innokin, Uwell, Freemax and SX Mini all feature here, across a spread of price points. Get 5% off your first order and free UK delivery on orders over £40. Refillable pen style vape kits remain one of the most popular choices in the UK for good reason: they’re cost-effective, portable, and genuinely satisfying to use every day.

The pen kit category covers a broader range of devices than most people expect. Whether you’re after something no-fuss or a step up in performance, there’s a configuration that fits.
From compact everyday carries to performance-focused refillable setups, our range draws from leading manufacturers so you’re not choosing between price and quality.
Pen kits work well for a wide range of vapers, but they’re particularly well-suited to two groups. First, people switching from cigarettes or disposables who want something familiar in hand, easy to use, and satisfying enough to stick with. The slim form factor and draw-activated or single-button operation keeps the learning curve short. Second, everyday vapers who want a reliable, pocketable device without the bulk of a box mod. If you want strong nicotine delivery, good flavour, and a battery that gets you through the day, a refillable vape pen kit delivers all of that without overcomplicating anything.
Here are the key features that make vape pen kits a consistent choice for vapers at every level:
The combination of simplicity, versatility, and genuine coil longevity is what keeps pen-style kits in rotation for so many UK vapers.
This is one of the most common questions we get, and the honest answer is: it depends on what you value most.
If long battery life, lower running costs, and e-liquid flexibility matter most to you, go with a pen kit. If you want the smallest possible device and don’t mind paying a bit more per coil, check out our pod kits instead.
Your vaping style shapes everything: which coil you use, which e-liquid you buy, and how your device feels to use. Getting this right early saves a lot of frustration.
Mouth-to-lung (MTL) means you draw vapour into your mouth first, then inhale – the same action as smoking a cigarette. MTL pen kits use higher-resistance coils (above 1.0 ohm), produce less vapour, and work best with nic salts or 50/50 e-liquids. This is where most switchers from cigarettes should start.
Direct-to-lung (DTL) means inhaling vapour straight into the lungs in one draw – more like breathing than smoking. DTL pen kits use sub-ohm coils (below 1.0 ohm), produce significantly more vapour, and pair with high-VG shortfills at lower nicotine concentrations. This suits vapers who have already made the switch and want more flavour and cloud output.
Not sure which fits your habits? Our mouth-to-lung vs direct-to-lung guide breaks it down further.
The right e-liquid depends entirely on which type of pen kit you’re running. Pair them incorrectly and you’ll either get dry hits or underwhelming vapour. Here’s how to match them up.
MTL pen kit: Use nic salts or 50/50 e-liquids. These thinner liquids wick efficiently through the tighter coil, deliver a smooth throat hit, and carry higher nicotine concentrations well. Good for anyone who was a heavy smoker and needs strong nicotine satisfaction.
DTL pen kit: Use high-VG shortfills. The thicker liquid suits the wider coil and higher power output, producing bigger clouds and more pronounced flavour. Nicotine concentrations here are typically lower – 3 mg/ml to 6 mg/ml freebase.
On nicotine strength: UK e-liquids containing nicotine are capped at 20 mg/ml – this is a legal requirement, not a brand choice. As a rough guide: 20 mg/ml nic salt for heavier smokers making the switch, 10 mg/ml for moderate smokers, and 3-6 mg/ml freebase for DTL setups or those who have already stepped down. Our nicotine strength guide covers this in detail if you want to dial it in properly.
This is the question most retailers skip. Here’s an honest breakdown.
Coil lifespan varies between one and three weeks depending on how much you vape, what wattage you run, and how sweet your e-liquid is. High-sugar flavours burn through coils faster. At average use – say, a moderate vaper doing 3-4 ml per day – an MTL coil can last two weeks comfortably. We’ve run Innokin Prism coils for close to ten days at steady use before the flavour starts to drop off, and that’s fairly typical for a quality coil in this range.
Coil replacement cost typically runs between £2 and £5 per coil depending on the brand and resistance. At one coil every two weeks, that’s roughly £4-£10 per month.
E-liquid consumption at typical MTL wattage (10-15W) sits around 2-3 ml per day for a moderate vaper. A 10 ml bottle at that rate lasts three to five days. A weekly e-liquid spend of around £3-£6 is realistic for most MTL users.
Total weekly running cost for a typical pen kit user: approximately £4-£8 covering coil amortisation and e-liquid. Compare that to buying disposables daily and the saving becomes significant quickly. For a fuller comparison, read our can vaping save you money breakdown.
A few easy errors account for most of the bad experiences people have with pen kits. Avoid these and you’ll get the best out of your setup from day one.
Not priming the coil before first use. This is the most common reason for a burnt taste straight out of the box. Fill your tank, add a few drops of e-liquid directly onto the coil, and let it sit for five minutes before firing. Our how to prime a vape coil guide covers it step by step.
Using high-VG shortfill in an MTL pen with a plus-ohm coil. Thick, high-VG liquid doesn’t wick fast enough through tight MTL coils. You’ll get dry hits, a burnt taste, and a dead coil within hours. Stick to 50/50 or nic salts for MTL setups. See our guide on how to avoid dry hits if this keeps catching you out.
Running wattage too high too quickly. If your kit has variable wattage, start at the lower end of the coil’s recommended range and work up gradually. Pushing a new coil to maximum power immediately shortens its lifespan and often ruins the first tank.
Buying a kit without checking coil availability. Some budget pen kits use proprietary coils that go out of stock or get discontinued. Before you buy, check that replacement coils are readily available. We only stock kits where the coil supply is consistent and affordable.
The pen kit brands we carry are ones we’ve had in-store long enough to know they’re worth recommending.
OXVA builds reliable, well-finished devices with strong coil performance. Their pen-style kits are particularly good for vapers who want an MTL setup with a premium feel.
Innokin has been one of the most consistent names in the category for years. The Endura range specifically earns its reputation through coil longevity – one reason we keep stocking it. Solid build quality, sensible pricing, and easy coil availability.
Uwell is known for clean flavour output and well-designed fill systems. A strong pick if flavour is your priority.
Freemax focuses on coil tech and mesh performance. Their sub-ohm pen options are worth considering if you’re moving into DTL territory.
SX Mini sits at the more premium end of the range. Build quality and output consistency make their kits worth the extra spend if you want a device that lasts.

Explore our answers to some frequently asked questions.
Yes, pen kits are one of the best starting points for new vapers. Most use a single button or draw-activation, there’s nothing complicated to configure, and everything you need comes in the box. If you’re switching from cigarettes, an MTL pen kit with nic salts is a reliable combination. Our beginners guide to vaping can help you get set up properly.
It depends on how much you were smoking. For heavier smokers switching to an MTL pen, 20 mg/ml nic salts are worth starting with. Moderate smokers often find 10 mg/ml sufficient. DTL setups should use much lower nicotine – 3-6 mg/ml freebase – because the volume of vapour produced means you absorb nicotine faster. UK law caps nicotine-containing e-liquid at 20 mg/ml. Check our nicotine strength guide for more detail.
MTL pens use coils above 1.0 ohm, operate at lower wattages (typically 8-20W), and produce a tighter draw with less vapour – closer to the feel of a cigarette. Sub-ohm pens run coils below 1.0 ohm at higher wattages (30W+), produce significantly more vapour, and suit DTL inhalation. They use different e-liquids too: high-VG shortfills for sub-ohm, nic salts or 50/50 for MTL.
Before you fire the device for the first time, drop a small amount of e-liquid directly onto the exposed cotton on the coil head. Fill the tank, then wait five minutes for the coil to absorb the liquid before taking your first draw. Skipping this step is the most common cause of a burnt taste from a brand-new coil. Read our full how to prime a vape coil guide for the step-by-step process.
Yes. The UK disposable vape ban applies to single-use devices, not refillable kits. Rechargeable, refillable vape pen kits are unaffected and remain fully legal to buy and use. They’re also a sensible long-term choice if you were previously relying on disposables.
Most coils last one to three weeks, depending on use. Chain-vaping, high-sugar flavours, and running the device at the top of its wattage range will all shorten coil life. A good sign it’s time to change: the flavour turns muted or slightly burnt, or the draw becomes gurgling and inconsistent. With average use on a quality MTL coil – Innokin Prism coils are a good reference point – two weeks is a reasonable expectation before things start to drop off.
Match your e-liquid to your coil type. MTL pen kits pair best with nic salts or 50/50 e-liquids – thin enough to wick properly through tight, high-resistance coils. Sub-ohm pen kits work with high-VG shortfills, which are thicker and suited to the wider coil and higher power output.
Yes, provided you’re using an MTL pen kit with a coil above 1.0 ohm. Nic salts are smooth at higher strengths, which makes them ideal for MTL setups designed to satisfy cigarette-like cravings. Avoid using nic salts at full strength in a sub-ohm DTL pen – the nicotine delivery would be uncomfortably high.
This depends on the battery capacity and how heavily you vape, but most pen kits will comfortably last a full day for average users. Pen kits generally carry larger battery cells than compact pod kits, so all-day use without reaching for a cable is realistic in most cases.
For a typical MTL user, expect to spend roughly £4-£8 per week across coil replacement (amortised) and e-liquid. That’s based on roughly 2-3 ml of e-liquid per day and a coil lasting around two weeks. The cost drops further if you choose longer-lasting coils and value e-liquids. Our can vaping save you money article runs through the full breakdown.
Pen kits use a cylindrical tank with replaceable coils and typically offer more e-liquid capacity and longer battery life. Pod kits are more compact and use either snap-in pods or refillable pod cartridges. Pod kits win on size; pen kits generally win on battery life, coil cost, and e-liquid flexibility. If you’re still deciding, our pod kits page explains the alternative.
Start at the lower end of the range printed on your coil. Most coils will show a recommended wattage range – something like 10-16W for an MTL coil, or 30-50W for a sub-ohm coil. Starting low and working up gradually helps bed in a new coil and avoids burning it prematurely. If your kit has no wattage control, it’s calibrated for you already.
