Vape Starter Kits

Vape starter kits from top vaping brands like Elf Bar and SKE Crystal include all the equipment you need to get vaping for the first time. At Haypp, we stock some of the best starter vape kits UK, including reusable pod kits or disposable options that make it easier than ever to switch from smoking to vaping. 

Understanding Vape Starter Kits

Vape kits, which can also be referred to as vape mods, pod kits, and pod mods, are available in a variety of selections to suit your vaping preferences and needs. Before you buy a vape starter kit in the UK, it’s important to understand these differences, and what they mean to your vaping journey. 

The main two terms you’ll come across when searching for vape starter kits include:

  • - MTL vape Kits: Mouth-to-lung (MTL) vape kits are mess-free, convenient options that arrive ready to use. Popular MTL kits include disposable vapes, prefilled pod systems, and vape starter kits complete with everything you need to start vaping, such as a device and charger. 
  • - DTL vape Kits:  Direct-to-lung (DTL) vape kits are more complex kits that tend to be popular amongst seasoned vapers looking to tailor their vaping experience. DTL kits include sub-ohm kits or box mod kits, with available customisations like different coil options for experienced users.

An MTL vape kit is the ideal choice for any starter looking for a low-maintenance, convenient vaping option.

Pod Kits vs Disposable Vape Kits

Even when buying MTL starter vape kits, users must decide between pod kits or disposable vape kits. Both of these can be suitable for beginners, but they vary as follows: 

  1. - Pod kits: When people refer to vape kits, they’re often talking about pod kits that require two parts – a vaping device and a prefilled or refillable e-liquid pod. These pods are interchangeable, and will typically last a user between 3-5 days. Pod kits like the Lost Mary Tappo are typically rechargeable using a USB cable that’s not generally included with the kit. 
  2. - Disposable vape kits: Disposable kits are the most popular vaping option amongst over half of users, and include a prefilled, ready-charged device, with an integrated pod that’s ready to go. Disposable kits typically last around 600 puffs, though disposable vapes like Elux’s Legend 3500 are designed to last as long as 3500 puffs. 

Either of these can make great vape starter kits for users in the UK. If you’d prefer a simple vaping device that’s ready to go, then disposable vape kits could be ideal. By comparison, pod kits are easy to use, and are ideal for beginners who would prefer to invest in one rechargeable device that they can test with various pod flavours. 

What’s Included in Vape Starter Kits?

Vape starter kits should provide you with everything you need to start on your vaping journey, though precisely what you receive with your starter kit will vary. With integrated disposable kits, you can expect to receive a vaping device that’s pre-filled with an integrated single e-liquid pod. 

By comparison, the contents of pod kit devices can be more variable. While some manufacturers include USB chargers in their pod kits, many eliminate this addition to keep costs down. Equally, a lot of pod kit devices won’t include e-liquid refills. 

Pod kits like Lost Mary’s Tappo kits will typically include – 

  • - A vape device
  • - One prefilled pod
  • - Instruction manual

 

You can then purchase additional e-liquid pods as required, though these are an extra expense to consider when first browsing the best vape starter kits.

How to Think When Choosing Vape Starter Kits 

Choosing vape starter kits from the UK’s best vaping brands can ensure the quality and reliability of your first device. However, each vape starter kit provides a different experience and benefits. As well as thinking about the UK’s best vaping brands, consider several different vaping factors when making choosing a kit, such as – 

Affordability:

Vape starter kits tend to be affordable because they include everything you need to start vaping straight away, but affordability ultimately depends on the price per puff. A 600-puff disposable might seem cheapest upfront, but a more obviously expensive product like SKE’S Crystal 4-in-1 pod kit may end up cheaper by providing you with as many as 2400 puffs and a reusable device. 

Length of Life:

If you’re looking to try a few different short-life vapes to see what you like, then disposable kits may be best. However, if you’re looking for a long-lasting vape device that you can simply refill, consider a refillable pod-based starter kit like the VUSE Pro Pod Kit

Sustainability:

Rechargeable pod kits tend to be a more sustainable vaping option than many short-term disposable kits.
