A vape starter kit is a kit that includes everything you need to get started with vaping. It is also referred to as an e-cigarette starter kit and although there are several different types, the purpose of a vape starter kit is to make the transition from smoking to vaping as easy as possible. It is essentially a beginner vape kit with all essential items in one package, ready to use.
If you are trying to quit smoking then trying a vape kit is the best place to get started. According to the NHS, you’re twice as likely to stop smoking if you use an e-cigarette.
Vape starter kits include everything you need to start vaping, including e-liquid. This means that when your first kit arrives with you, it can be set up and you can start vaping straight away and ditch those cigarettes.
Here is what you might find included with your vape starter kit:
Your vape battery provides the power for your e-cig and is one of the key components of your kit. Each one will differ slightly, some will be bigger with a larger battery capacity, and others may have adjustable settings. To vape safely read our Battery Safety Guide or for a full in-depth overview check our Guide to Batteries.
Each e-cig starter kit has to have a vape tank, this is the part of your e-cig that not only houses your coil but also contains your e-liquid. Again there is a lot of variety in vape tanks, although they will all have an e-liquid capacity of 2ml or under due to our regulations in the UK.
Every e-cig has its own range of vape coils to accompany it. If the vape battery and tank are the body of your e-cig, then the vape coil is the heart. It is responsible for the main part of your vaping experience, it produces vapour from your e-liquid that you inhale.
Vape liquid, or e-liquid, is a viscous liquid that contains nicotine and flavouring, as well as diluents. This is another key component in your vaping experience and is the fun part of vaping. There are hundreds of flavours and nicotine strengths to choose from. For a great value vape read the 10 Best Cheap E Liquid in the UK.
Now we have established what is in each starter kit, we can explore the different types of starter vape kits. Each has its own benefits and drawbacks, so let’s take a look at each.
Designed to look and feel as close to a cigarette as possible, cig-a-alike vape starter kits work well for those completely new to vaping. The Joyetech eRoll MAC is a fantastic cig-a-like to get started.
PROS: The design is small and compact making it easy to store in a pocket.
CONS: The smaller battery means it won't last as long as other kits.
Box mods are named as such because they are a box shape. These will have adjustable settings and will be refillable with e-liquid, you will also be able to change the coils.
The TECC arc Mini 2 is an exceptionally popular starter box mod.
PROS: They are more cost-effective in the long run as you can maintain most aspects. The large battery life also keeps you vaping for longer.
CONS: They require more maintenance than other starter e-cigs.
A vape pen looks like a pen, it is cylindrical with a vape battery and vape tank on the top. They are similar to box mods, as you can usually change the coil and refill it with e-liquid, but a noticeable difference is most don’t have settings to adjust.
The Joyetech eGo Slim is a great vape pen to start your vaping journey.
PROS: More advanced than a cig-a-like, but is still light and compact.
CONS: Smaller battery life than a box mod and fewer settings to choose from.
Vape pods continue to increase in popularity and with good reason. For new vapers, these are an ideal way to quit smoking. They use high-resistance coils designed for MTL vaping, which is the ideal method for new vapers.
The Vaporesso XROS 4 Mini is brimming with the highest build quality, great for all-day vaping.
PROS:Both the coils and pod are usually push fit, which makes it easy to use and maintain.
CONS: Most pod kits are designed for MTL vaping and don’t cater to DL vapers.
Choosing the right vape starter kit is an important step, but there is an element of trial and error. There is an ideal e-cig for everyone, but finding it is the key step. You can make it easier by identifying what the most important step in your vaping journey is, essentially what you want out of your e-cig.
Most beginners will use a disposable vape such as an Elf Bar, Lost Mary or SKE Crystal to get started. This is because it is one of the easiest ways to vape and doesn’t require any maintenance. Once it is empty it can be replaced with a new one. However, this type of kit will cost more in the long term and is also less sustainable.
Vape Starter Kits are the perfect device for people who are looking to make the switch from smoking. The RDL to MTL kits provide a similar sensation to smoking and single-use devices making them an ideal transition kit. At TECC we stock a range of the biggest brands including OXVA, Vaporesso, VOOPOO, and Uwell.
If you need a device to take on holiday, then a pen-style kit is the best option with popular choices such as the Innokin Endura T18 X or the Joyetech eGo Slim. The battery life will last long enough to use all day and can be recharged when you get back to the hotel. Plus, the compact size makes it easy to carry around.
Mod kits are the best for battery life. If you need a device that will last multiple days before needing to recharge then this is the best choice. However, if you aren’t a heavy vaper most kits with a battery bigger than 1000mAh should last at least a couple of days.
The flavour is mainly down to the e-liquid inside the kit, however, the type of device you use plays a factor. Nic salt or Bar Salt e-liquid works best with kits that use coils with a 0.8ohm resistance or higher. Whereas, shortfill e-liquid works best with powerful kits with low-resistance coils.
If you want to quit smoking and have been considering switching to vapes, a vape starter kit is the easiest, most convenient way to try. Studies continue to show that those giving up cigarettes have a higher success rate when using vapes. If you are looking to make the switch from smoking to vaping why not take a look at our quit-smoking calculator to find out how much you can save by making the switch?
There is a huge selection of vape starter kits on offer so that you can ditch cigarettes for good without patches or expensive treatments. Entry-level vape starter kits begin at around £9.99 so the overall cost and value for money make sense too. You can read more about vaping vs smoking in our guide.
Here at The Electronic Cigarette Company, we have a massive range of vape kits available and we break our starter kits down into their own section.
