Pod kits and pen-style vapes are the best styles of vape kit for beginners. They're compact, easy to use, and mimic the feeling of smoking a cigarette perfectly. Pod kits and vape pens are super simple to maintain and don't come with all the hassle of bigger, more advanced vape kits. They offer the best balance of battery size and power without compromising portability. The key factors to keep in mind that vary vape-to-vape are:
- Portability - Ensure your vape can go where you go. Especially when you're quitting smoking, making sure you have access to your vape whether it's in your pocket, bag, or car, can help you curb those nicotine cravings. Slim pod kits and ergonomic pen vapes are great for this, they take up no more room than a tobacco pouch or packet of cigarettes would.
- Battery Size - Heavy smoker? Then you'll likely be a heavy vaper. Making sure you always have a charged vape can stop you from reaching for those cigarettes. If you think you'll be vaping many times throughout the day, opt for a beginner kit with a large battery. Vape battery size is commonly measured in mAh (milliampere-hour). The bigger the number, the bigger the battery. Keep this in mind when deciding on your starter kit.
- Maintenance Level - Vapes vary when it comes to refilling, recharging, and coil changing. Some starter kits feature pre-filled vape pods. These pods are already loaded with delicious vape juice and require no maintenance. Some kits feature empty pods with built-in coils, and some feature empty pods that you insert coils into. Make sure you're picking the right maintenance level for you as it will encourage you to stay vaping and stop smoking.
Most starter kits here at Prime Vapes come with a free nic salt vape juice, courtesy of us. You can start vaping straight away when you receive your kit, there's no downtime involved. Any vape juice that comes free with your vape kit will work perfectly with your kit, you don't need to worry about finding compatible juices (which we know can be a struggle). The premium e-liquids we pair with our beginner vape kits are high-quality juices made by reputable, premium brands. As the juice flavour is picked randomly for your vape kit, it's always good to check your kit's product description for the suitable type of vape juice for your kit. This way you can check out flavours you enjoy, too.
Beginner vape kits will vary in price depending on the brand and features of the kit. Here at Prime Vapes we try to cater to all types of vapers, with different accessibility levels and price points. Most starter vape kits fall in the range of £5 to £30. Most people like to spend around £15 to get a great vape starter kit with all the features they need, such as variable wattage, adjustable airflow, and great aesthetics. You don't need to splurge when picking a starter kit, many of our great, reliable vape kits are priced under £20.
The best beginner vapes are vapes that match your smoking style as well as your budget. Some vape kits are more cylindrical, some are square, some are thin. As all vape kits are different, it's crucial you pick a vape kit that will keep you off smoking. That's where we come into it. If you'd like something that reminds of cigarettes you're better off going for a thin pod or pen kit. These kits are small, easy to maintain, and great for MTL vaping. MTL just means you inhale the vapour into your mouth before inhaling into your lungs. This is the same way you would smoke a cigarette. Some of the best vape kits that feature this style are the Xros 3 Mini by Vaporesso and the PockeX by Aspire. These kits have been keeping people off of smoking for a long time, and for good reason.
While it's important to try and replicate the action of smoking when using your beginner vape, sometimes it's good to expand the horizons. Why not go for an awesome looking kit like the Gotek X by Aspire or the professional looking Xlim Pro by Oxva. Vaping doesn't have to be scary or daunting.
In summary, all vape kits utilise vape coils. A vape coil is the part of the vape that vaporises the vape juice. It basically turns the vape juice into vapour for you to inhale. Without a coil, you can't vape.
The difference between some starter kits are which type of vape tank and coil they utilise. Depending on which coil type your beginner vape kit uses will depend on the level of maintenance required. If you're looking for an extremely low maintenance vape kit you'll want to look for kits that feature pre-filled pods. These pods have built-in coils and are filled with vape juice. You simply throw away the whole pod when it's finished. These are called closed pod systems.
There's also a type of pod that features built-in coils, however the pod is empty and can be filled with whichever juice you like. These types of pods are featured in pod kits like the Xros and Sonder Q range. As there's no coil removal involved, pods with built-in coils are a great feature for your first vape kit. You simply dispose of the pod when the coil is burnt. This reduces the maintenance required but still gives you flexibility when it comes to choosing a vape juice to use in your kit.
The most flexible style of beginner vape kits on the market are those that feature removable coils. These kits feature an empty pod that you insert a replacement coil into. Using replacement coils are usually a much more affordable option, so it's good to keep that in mind when choosing a starter vape kit.
