The right kit depends on where you’re coming from. Here’s a straightforward breakdown.
If you’re switching from cigarettes, you want a mouth-to-lung (MTL) pod kit or vape pen. MTL vaping mimics the draw of a cigarette, tight and controlled. Pair it with a high-PG or 50/50 e-liquid for a familiar throat hit, and consider nic salts if your cravings are strong. They deliver nicotine faster and more smoothly than freebase liquids. Check out our guide to the best MTL vape kits for specific recommendations.
If you’re coming from disposables, a refillable pod kit is the closest match. The draw is similar, the size is compact, and running costs are a fraction of what you’d spend on disposables long-term. You’re not giving anything up. You’re just not throwing away a device every few days. Our pod kits vs disposables guide explains the difference in full, and our best affordable non-disposable vape kits round-up is a good place to start browsing.
If you’re new to vaping with no smoking background, focus on device simplicity rather than nicotine strength. Draw-activated pod kits require no button presses or settings. You pick it up and vape. Zero-nicotine (0mg) e-liquid options are available across our range if nicotine isn’t part of what you’re looking for.
One thing worth saying directly: sub-ohm kits are not a good first choice for anyone coming straight from cigarettes or disposables. They produce large amounts of vapour, use a direct-to-lung inhale style, and go through e-liquid quickly. Start with an MTL kit and upgrade later if you want to explore that style.
Most vape starter kits include four core components: the device itself (with a built-in battery), a tank or pod to hold your e-liquid, at least one coil, and a USB charging cable. Some kits include a spare coil too, which is worth checking before you buy.
One thing most starter kits do not include is e-liquid. You’ll need to pick that up separately. The right choice depends on your device, but we’ll cover that in the next section. Browse our full e-liquid range to find something that works for your kit.
Getting the e-liquid right matters as much as the kit itself. Use the wrong liquid in the wrong device and you’ll get dry hits, burnt coils, or a vape that just doesn’t feel right.
For MTL starter kits, use 50/50 or high-PG e-liquid. These thinner liquids wick easily through smaller coils, which is exactly what MTL devices are built around. High-PG liquids also deliver a stronger throat hit, which ex-smokers tend to prefer. Our 50/50 e-liquids range is a solid starting point.
Avoid high-VG liquids in starter kits. High-VG (70/30 or above) liquids are thick. They’re designed for sub-ohm coils with wider wicking ports. Running them through a standard MTL coil leads to dry hits and burnt taste. Save them for when you move to a more powerful setup.
Nic salts vs. freebase nicotine: this is the most common question new vapers ask. Nic salts use a lower pH formulation that allows higher nicotine concentrations to be absorbed more quickly and with less throat irritation. If you’re a heavy smoker or were getting through multiple disposables a day, nic salts at 10 or 20 mg/ml are likely the better choice. Freebase nicotine works well at lower strengths (3-6 mg/ml) and suits people with lighter habits or those who prefer a stronger throat hit at moderate nicotine levels. All nicotine-containing e-liquids we sell comply with UK TPD regulations and contain a maximum of 20 mg/ml. Browse our nic salts range or read our full nic salts vs freebase guide if you want more detail.
On nicotine strength: a rough guide is 20 mg/ml for heavy smokers (20+ cigarettes a day), 10-20 mg/ml for moderate smokers, and 3-6 mg/ml freebase for light smokers or those stepping down. Our nicotine strength guide covers this in more depth if you’re unsure.
This is the question competitors never answer, so we will.
A moderate vaper typically gets through around 2-3 ml of e-liquid per day. At that rate, a 10 ml bottle lasts roughly three to five days, and a 10-pack of 10 ml bottles costs around £10-£15. That puts weekly e-liquid costs at roughly £2-£5 for most people.
Coils are the other ongoing cost. On a standard MTL pod kit running 50/50 liquid at low to moderate power, a coil typically lasts 7-14 days. Some last longer if you prime them properly and keep the pod topped up. A pack of five replacement coils usually costs £8-£12, so the weekly coil cost works out at roughly £1-£2.
Total weekly running cost: approximately £3-£7 for a typical MTL setup. Compare that to a 20-a-day cigarette habit at around £15-£18 per day and the saving is significant. Our can vaping save you money article breaks this down further if you want the full picture.

A refillable pod kit is your closest match. The draw style is similar to a disposable, the form factor is compact, and most are draw-activated so there’s no button to press. The difference is you refill the pod with e-liquid instead of binning the whole device. You’ll spend significantly less per week and generate less waste. Our pod kits category is a good place to start, or check the best pod kits guide for specific picks.
Typically 7-14 days for an MTL kit running 50/50 liquid at low to moderate wattage. Several things shorten coil life: running it at high power, using sweet or heavily flavoured e-liquids, and not priming the coil before first use. A coil that tastes burnt or muted has reached the end of its life. Our how long do vape coils last guide explains what to look out for and how to get the most from each coil.
It depends on how much you currently smoke or vape. Heavy smokers generally do well starting at 20 mg/ml nic salts. Moderate smokers often find 10-20 mg/ml works. Light smokers or those stepping down tend to start at 3-6 mg/ml freebase. If your cravings feel unsatisfied, go up. If the throat hit is too harsh, go down. Read our full nicotine strength guide for more specific guidance.
No, almost all starter kits are sold as hardware only. The kit contains the device, coil, pod or tank, and charging cable. You’ll need to buy e-liquid separately. Make sure you choose the right PG/VG ratio for your device, 50/50 or high-PG for most MTL starter kits.
MTL (mouth-to-lung) means drawing vapour into your mouth first, then inhaling, like you would with a cigarette. It produces less vapour, gives a tighter draw, and suits higher nicotine strengths. DTL (direct-to-lung) means inhaling straight into the lungs, producing more vapour and a looser, airier draw. It suits lower nicotine strengths and is preferred by more experienced vapers chasing flavour or clouds. For beginners and switchers, MTL is the right starting point. Our mouth-to-lung vs direct-to-lung guide covers the differences in full.
Yes, that’s exactly what they’re designed for. A starter kit gives you everything you need in one package without requiring you to understand coil builds, wattage settings, or advanced features. Pod kits and vape pens are particularly beginner-friendly. If you want a full overview before buying, our beginners guide to vaping is worth a read, and our guide to choosing your first vape kit walks you through the decision step by step.
Pod kits use a replaceable or refillable pod that clips into the device. They’re compact, low-maintenance, and often draw-activated. Vape pens are slim, cylindrical devices that typically use a tank and coil setup with a fire button. Both are good for beginners. Pod kits tend to suit people coming from disposables; vape pens suit those who want slightly more control over their experience. Browse our vape pen kits range alongside pod kits to compare.
Yes, considerably. A disposable vape typically costs £5-£7 and lasts a day or two for a regular user. A refillable pod kit costs £15-£30 upfront, and the ongoing cost drops to around £3-£7 per week once you factor in e-liquid and coils. Most people who make the switch see a noticeable difference in spend within the first month. Our best affordable non-disposable vape kits guide gives specific options at different price points.
If you’re coming from cigarettes or heavy disposable use, nic salts are usually the better starting point. They absorb faster, feel smoother at higher nicotine concentrations, and do a better job of dealing with cravings quickly. Freebase nicotine suits lighter habits or those who prefer a more pronounced throat hit at lower strengths. Read our nic salts vs freebase guide for a full comparison.
We stock starter kits from some of the most trusted names in vaping, including Geekvape, VooPoo, Innokin, SMOK, and Freemax. All devices are TPD-compliant and sold through an age-verified platform. If you want curated picks rather than browsing the full range, our best vape kits for beginners guide highlights the ones we’d actually recommend.
The clearest sign is a burnt or muted taste. Other signs include reduced vapour, a gurgling sound, or leaking from the device. Most coils give a gradual decline in performance before they fail completely. Check our beginners guide to vape coils for a full rundown on coil care, priming, and when to swap.
