Types of Vape Kits

The days of one-size-fits-all are gone, particularly when it comes to vaping. From those curious about leaving smoking behind to the dedicated cloud architects seeking their next masterpiece, the variety of vape kits available can feel daunting. To address this, we have listed all types of vapes, covering their basics, specifications, perks, and downsides. Read through to find your ideal kit. Let’s get started!

Before going into the details, you need to know what an e-cigarette is. A vape kit is often called an e-cigarette, which converts e-liquid into vapours that vapers inhale. It comprises a battery, built-in or external, a pod or tank containing e-juice and coil, and a mouthpiece. The battery supplies power to the coil, which heats up the e-liquid, which then turns into vapours, which are inhaled via the mouthpiece.

The vaping market is flooded with a variety of options. Choosing the best one is challenging. Here’s the list of different kinds of vaping devices based on vaping styles and vapers' levels:

These devices feature a small battery unit and a replaceable or refillable pod for your e-liquid.

What makes them special?

Simplicity and portability are the name of the game with pod kits. Owing to the draw-activation technique, they mimic a cigarette's familiar inhale, making them a fantastic starting point for newcomers and a perfect option for go-to vaping anywhere, anytime.

True to their name, starter kits are specifically designed for those new to vaping. They usually include everything you need (a pen-style or basic box mod, a tank/pod, and sometimes a spare coil) to get going.

Something Special

Simple use is absolute with starter kits as they require minimal to no setup (everything is fixed, just fill the e-liquid, power on (if needed), and start puffing) and no complex custom features that keep boggling your mind.

Vape pens are in a class for their slim, pen-like design. They are comfortable to hold and easily slip into a pocket. They have a built-in battery and an integrated pod or a separate pod that you can fill with your preferred e-liquid.

What's Special in Vape Pens?

These e-cigarettes offer a step up in battery capacity (650mAh-1500mAh) and e-liquid capacity (2ml) compared to many pod vapes, while still being relatively simple to operate. They provide a solid balance of flavour and vapour production for everyday vaping.

Ciga-likes are designed to resemble traditional cigarettes in appearance and feel. These small, cylindrical devices can be disposable or have replaceable cartridges.

What makes them special?

Their familiar shape and size make the switch from smoking feel more natural for those planning to quit. They often offer a tighter draw, similar to a cigarette.

Box mods, as the name suggests, have a boxy shape, are larger in size, and come with replaceable batteries. They offer a high degree of customisation, including adjustable wattage, temperature control, and often a display screen. Moreover, they're usually paired with a separate tank.

What makes them special?

Box mods are for vapers who want maximum control over their vaping. For example, they can set temperature, airflow, and power as per preferences.

Disposable vapes are single-use devices pre-filled with e-liquid and a charged battery. Once used, dispose of responsibly (check local UK guidelines for electronic waste disposal).

What makes them special?

Puff bars offer utter convenience, with no charging, refilling, or coil changes, just unwrapping and vaping.

Important Note: Single-use vapes will be banned in the UK from June 2025 to control underage vaping and maintain environmental health.

Sub-ohm vaping involves using a tank with coils with less than one ohm of resistance. This allows for rapid heating and the production of significantly more vapour and intense flavour.

Speciality in Sub Ohms:

The massive vapour clouds and enhanced flavour are the standpoints about sub-ohm vape kits.

Big puff vapes are larger disposable vapes with a significantly higher e-liquid capacity (2m +10ml TPD compliant) and battery life (8-10 hours), allowing for thousands of puffs, e.g., 3000-50000 puffs.

What makes them special?

High-capacity vapes combine the convenience of a disposable with the longevity of a more substantial device. They are the ultimate long-lasting, no-fuss vaping option for those with busy lives.

Vape pod mods bridge the gap between simple pod vapes and more powerful box mods. They offer pod systems' portability and sleek bar design, but with more features like adjustable wattage and replaceable coils.

What makes them special?

They offer a fantastic balance of portability and customisation, you can tailor your vape experience without the bulk of a full box mod.

To conclude, your best vape kit depends on your needs and preferences. Consider your experience level, desired vapour and flavour, portability needs, budget, and how much you enjoy tinkering with settings.

Whether you're after the simplicity of a pod, the familiarity of an MTL, the power of a box mod, or anything in between, VapeGala has a wide selection of different types of vapes for you.
