Vape Kits UK
Complete vape kits in stock from the world's biggest hardware brands. A vape kit at Ecigone is the full setup ready to vape on day one: battery device, tank or pod, coil pre-fitted, charge cable in the box. You add e-liquid.
Whether you're switching from prefilled pod vapes, stepping up from a starter pod kit, or rebuilding around a sub-ohm box mod, every kit below is a complete out-of-the-box solution, not a standalone mod body.
Over 200 active kits across pod, sub-ohm, refillable and prefilled formats from worldwide vape brands including Vaporesso, Voopoo, Geekvape, OXVA, Uwell, Lost Vape, Aspire and Innokin, with some ranges exclusive to Ecigone in the UK. UK vape specialists since 2014.
Vape Starter Kits UK - Pick by Format First
Vape kits in the UK split four ways today: pod kits, sub-ohm kits, refillable pod kits and prefilled pod kits. Each shape matches a different way to inhale, a different e-liquid and a different routine. Get the format right first, and brand, colour and wattage become easy follow-up decisions.

Prefilled Pod Vape Kits
|
The UK ban on single-use vapes (1 June 2025) pushed most ex-disposable shoppers onto prefilled pod kits or refillable pod kits, depending on whether they want the same swap-when-empty workflow or the cheaper bottled e-liquid routine. Sub-ohm and box mod kits sit at the cloud-chasing end of the same family.
Vape Kit vs Vape Mod - What's the Difference?
A vape kit and a vape mod are not the same product. The shorthand gets used interchangeably online, but on a category page like this one the difference matters because every product listed above is a complete kit, not a mod body on its own.

If you already own a tank, an RTA or an RDA and need a battery body to power it, browse our standalone vape mods range instead. Most shoppers landing on a vape kits page want the whole setup, which is what every product on this collection delivers.
How to Choose a Vape Kit - Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced
Match the kit to where you are right now rather than where you think you'll be in six months. Most vapers move through the same three stages, and the wrong kit at the wrong stage is the most common reason a first vape gets shelved.
|
Stage
|
What to look for
|
Typical kit type
|
|
Beginner
|
Auto-draw or one button, fixed wattage, MTL pod, 700-1000mAh battery

Intermediate
|
Adjustable wattage 5-40W, swappable coils, single 18650 or 1500mAh+ built-in
|
Refillable pod-mod or AIO

Advanced
|
Wattage up to 200W, dual cells, replaceable batteries, sub-ohm tank or RTA
|
Box mod kit or standalone mod with tank

Stepping off cigarettes or single-use prefilled vapes? Start at beginner. The throat hit on a 20mg nic salt pod kit is what most ex-smokers settle on for the first month or two.
Already vaping daily on a starter pod and want bigger battery life? Chasing clouds, flavour intensity or building your own coils? The full beginner-friendly range lives on our beginner kits page.

Pod Vape Kits vs Sub-Ohm Vape Kits - Draw Style Comparison
The single biggest fork in a vape kit decision is the draw style. Mouth-to-lung (MTL) pulls vapour into the mouth first then down to the lungs, mimicking a cigarette. Direct-to-lung (DTL), used by sub-ohm kits, sends vapour straight to the lungs with no mouth pause.
Restricted DTL (RDL) sits in between - looser than MTL, tighter than full DTL.

What Comes in a Vape Kit Box?
A standard vape kit ships with everything you need to vape on day one except the e-liquid (because the right e-liquid depends on which kit you picked). Typical box contents:
-
The device - the battery body with the chipset, screen and buttons
-
One or two pods, or a tank - pre-fitted with the right coil for the kit
-
A spare coil on most refillable and sub-ohm kits
-
USB-C charge cable - mains plug usually sold separately
- Spare seals, drip tip and a user manual
Sub-ohm box mod kits typically need 18650 or 21700 batteries bought separately. Check the spec sheet on the PDP before buying - Aegis Legend 5 and similar dual-battery kits ship without cells in the box. Built-in battery kits arrive charged and ready.

Hardware comes from worldwide manufacturers via authorised UK distributors, with some ranges exclusive to Ecigone. Headline brands:
Pairing E-Liquid With Your Kit
Vape kits don't ship with e-liquid because the right juice depends on your draw style and your nicotine preference. Match the e-liquid to the coil resistance, not the other way round:
|
Kit Type
|
E-Liquid Format
|
Strength
|
|
Pod kit / starter MTL
|
10ml nic salt or 50/50
|
10mg or 20mg
|
|
Refillable pod-mod (RDL)
|
10ml nic salt or low-VG shortfill
|
5mg to 20mg
|
|
Sub-ohm tank or box mod
|
70/30 high VG shortfill + nic shot
|
0mg to 6mg
|
Pod kits need thinner juice to wick properly - pick nic salt e-liquid or 50/50 vape juice. Sub-ohm tanks need high VG to produce cloud without spitting - go for 70/30 high VG shortfill.
Keep spare coils on hand - refillable pod kits typically need a new coil every 1 to 2 weeks; pick them up on the kit's PDP or browse our vape coils page.
Vape Kit Glossary - Coils, Pods, Mods, Tanks, Watts
If you're new to the category, the jargon is the first hurdle. The terms below are the ones that come up on every PDP and spec sheet.
-
Pod - a small e-liquid cartridge that clips into a pod kit. Refillable pods you top up from a bottle; prefilled pods arrive sealed and ready
-
Tank - a larger glass or plastic reservoir that screws onto a sub-ohm kit. Refilled from the top or bottom with a high VG shortfill
-
Coil - the heating element inside the pod or tank. Replaceable on most kits, with a resistance printed on the side (e.g. 0.3Ω)
-
Mod - the battery body. On its own (no tank) it's a standalone vape mod; paired with a tank in one box, it's a box mod kit
-
Watts (W) - the power the device sends to the coil. Pod kits run 10-25W; sub-ohm kits run 40W up to 200W+
-
Ohms (Ω) - coil resistance. Above 1.0Ω = MTL; below 1.0Ω = sub-ohm/DTL
-
mAh - battery capacity. 700-1000mAh on starter pods; 3000mAh+ on big sub-ohm built-ins; 18650/21700 cells on box mod kits
-
AIO / Boro - all-in-one or boro-style kits with a built-in tank/pod system. Niche advanced format, browse AIO kits or standalone vape mods
Cheap Vape Kits and Running Costs
A cheap vape kit doesn't have to be a bad one. Starter pod kits sit at the bottom of the price ladder, refillable pod kits run a step up, and sub-ohm box mod kits sit at the top.
The bigger saving is the running cost over the first six months: a refillable pod kit on bottled nic salt typically works out cheaper per day than the single-use prefilled vape habit it replaces, especially with our regular multibuy e-liquid offers.
For current deals and live pricing, check clearance vape kits. Discounted hardware lives there alongside short-dated e-liquid and end-of-line stock. If you'd rather pick a swap-and-vape format closer to the old single-use routine, our prefilled pod vape kits use sealed pre-loaded pods you swap when empty.
Which Vape Kit Is Right for You?
A quick decision matrix to land on the right format without overthinking:
-
Just stopped smoking or vaping single-use prefilled vapes - a refillable pod kit with 20mg nic salt e-liquid. Caliburn G4 Classic or OXVA Xlim Go 2.
-
Want to keep the swap-and-vape feel - a prefilled pod vape kit. Pre-loaded pods, no filling.
-
After bigger clouds and bolder flavour - a sub-ohm vape kit with high VG shortfill. Aegis Legend 5 or Armour Ultra.
-
One device for both styles - a pod-mod like the Voopoo Drag X3, which supports MTL pods and DTL sub-ohm tanks.
-
Hobbyist or building your own coils - standalone vape mods paired with a separate RTA or RDA, or an AIO/Boro kit.
Pick the format first, then narrow by brand using the filter above. Every vape kit is genuine UK stock from authorised distributors, ready to ship.
