A simple vape kit with a minimal set up and straightforward controls is the best place to start if you're new to vaping. All of our beginner vape kits are easy-to-use, with the options of pre-filled pod kits and refillable pod kits.
Choosing a pre-filled pod kit will reduce the maintenance and learning-curve required to start vaping. The pods are alright filled with e-liquid, you simply replace them when they're empty. Refillable vape kits need more upkeep but they give you a better choice over your e-liquid strength and flavour. Refillable kits are also more affordable in the long run. The right beginner option will depend on how much flexibility and maintenance you're comfortable with.
Pre-filled vape kits use pods that already contain e-liquid, so there’s no need to refill them yourself. When a pod is empty, you replace it with a compatible pre-filled pod. They require very little maintenance and are a convenient option if you want to keep things simple.
Refillable vape kits use pods or tanks that you fill with your own e-liquid. They require a little more maintenance, but give you much more choice over flavours, nicotine strengths and e-liquids. Depending on the kit, you’ll replace either the pod, the coil, or both as they reach the end of their life.
If you're switching from smoking to vaping, a compact pod kit or pre-filled vape kit can be a straightforward place to start. Many of these devices are designed for MTL (mouth-to-lung) vaping, providing a tighter, more restricted inhale that may feel more familiar to someone used to smoking. Lower-powered devices with higher-resistance pods or coils are commonly used for this style of vaping.
If you want as little maintenance as possible, a pre-filled vape kit can be a convenient option – simply recharge the device and replace the compatible pod when it runs out. A refillable pod kit requires a little more upkeep but gives you greater choice over your e-liquid and nicotine strength. Nic salt e-liquids are a popular choice with lower-powered pod kits and are available in different strengths, making it easier to choose an option that suits your needs.
The right e-liquid depends on the type of vape kit, pod and coil you’re using. Lower-powered pod kits are commonly paired with 50/50 e-liquids, including nic salts and freebase e-liquids, as the balanced VG/PG ratio works well with many MTL and lower-powered setups. Always check the recommended e-liquid or coil compatibility for your particular device.
Higher-powered sub-ohm kits are generally better suited to thicker, higher-VG e-liquids. Shortfill e-liquids are a popular option for these devices and are typically available nicotine-free, with space in the bottle to add a nicotine shot if required.
Replacement pods and coils are designed to work with specific vape kits, so they aren’t universally compatible. The easiest way to find the right replacement is to check the name and model of your device, then look for replacement vape pods or replacement vape coils that specifically list your kit as compatible.
Some vape kits use pods with a built-in coil, meaning you replace the entire pod when the coil reaches the end of its life. Others use a refillable tank or pod with a separate replaceable coil. Always check the compatibility information on the product page before ordering, as pods and coils from the same brand won’t necessarily fit every device in that range.
At Prime Vapes, our refillable pod kits come with one free e-liquid, so you receive a suitable e-liquid to get started with your new device. Pre-filled vape kits already include e-liquid within their supplied pod or refill container, although exactly what’s included varies between products.
If you want everything together, our vape kit bundles include e-liquids that are compatible with the kit, taking the guesswork out of choosing the right e-liquid for your device. Always check the individual product page for the full box contents and any included extras.
