Vape Starter Kits — Your First Vape

A focused range of 16 beginner-friendly pod kits, priced from £3.49 to £29.99, from Vaporesso, OXVA, Geekvape and Uwell. These are the simple, refillable, rechargeable devices most people pick when they first move away from cigarettes or disposables: fill a pod, charge it, vape.
Every kit here runs on a refillable pod and a built-in battery, so there is no separate charger or loose battery to worry about. Each kit includes everything you need to get started, and you just add the e-liquid and nicotine strength you want. If you are a smoker after mouth-to-lung (MTL) draws that feel like a cigarette, with a satisfying throat hit from a nic salt, this is the collection to start in.

Why buy your vape kit at Touch of Vape

Why buy your vape kit at Touch of Vape

We keep the starter range deliberately tight, stocking the pod kits we would actually hand a friend who is switching, rather than a wall of confusing options.

Proven beginner devices. The Vaporesso XROS, OXVA Xlim and Uwell Caliburn lines are among the most reliable MTL pod kits on the market, and all three sit in this collection.
A kit for every budget. From the £3.49 Vaporesso Vibe SE up to the £29.99 Luxe X2, with most popular kits between £9.99 and £24.99.
Built-in batteries, simple charging. Capacities here run from 1000mAh to 2000mAh, all recharged by USB-C, so a kit lasts most of the day and tops up fast.
Advice in person. Two stores, in Leicester and Coventry, where staff can set your first device up and walk you through filling and priming a pod.

Switching from disposable vapes?

Single-use disposable vapes were banned across the UK on 1 June 2025. Refillable, rechargeable kits remain legal (a device must be both refillable and rechargeable to be sold), and the kits in this range are exactly that legal, reusable alternative.

The same easy draw. A pod kit on an MTL setting gives the tight, cigarette-like inhale most disposable users are used to, so the switch feels familiar.
One device, refilled. Charge it over USB-C and refill the pod with the e-liquid you choose, rather than buying and binning a new device every few days.
Far less waste. A single Caliburn or XROS replaces a long line of disposables, with only the occasional pod to swap out.

Why choose Vape Starter Kits — Your First Vape?

For a first kit, the real question is pod or tank, and a pod system is almost always the right call. Every device in this collection is a pod vape kit: small, light, and set up for nic salt MTL vaping, the closest match to a cigarette. Pairing a box mod with a sub-ohm tank is something to come back to once you decide you are after larger clouds and a restricted direct-to-lung (RDL) style of vaping. On a pod kit the coil already sits inside the pod, so nothing fiddly needs fitting.

Battery life decides how often you charge. The 1000mAh XROS 3 Mini is fine for a light day, while the 2000mAh Luxe X2 or 1600mAh XROS 6 Mini go longer between charges. Most people new to vaping land happily in the middle, around 1300mAh to 1500mAh, as on the OXVA Xlim Pro 3 or Geekvape Sonder Q2. We also stock the Aspire Zelos 3 in our Aspire kits for anyone who wants a traditional mod instead.

Beyond that, it comes down to feel and budget. The Vibe SE at £3.49 is a no-fuss starting point, the XROS 5 at £14.99 adds adjustable airflow and an MTL or RDL choice, and the Uwell Caliburn G4 Pro at £24.99 gives you wattage control when you are ready for it. All take refillable pods, so running costs stay low whatever you settle on.

What is the best vape kit to start with?

A simple MTL pod kit. The Vaporesso XROS 3 Mini (£7.99) and Geekvape Sonder Q2 (£9.99) are popular first devices: small, refillable, and easy to fill and charge. Run a nic salt e-liquid through one for a tight, cigarette-like inhale.

What is the difference between a pod kit and a mod?

A pod kit is compact, low-power and uses click-in pods, which makes it ideal for MTL vaping and beginners. A mod is larger, runs at higher wattage with a separate tank, and suits sub-ohm or RDL vaping. Everything in this starter collection is a pod kit.

How long does the battery last and how do I charge it?

Batteries here range from 1000mAh to 2000mAh, which is roughly a half-day to a full day for an average vaper. All recharge over USB-C, and many can be used while charging. Heavier use means charging more often.

What pods and coils does each kit use?

Each kit takes its own brand of refillable pod, with the coil built in, for example Vaporesso Corex pods for the XROS range or Caliburn G pods for the Uwell devices. Each product page names the pods it takes, and we stock replacement pods and coils so you are never left without.

Are these kits refillable or pre-filled?

Refillable. You top the pod up with your own e-liquid, which holds running costs down and leaves the flavour and strength entirely up to you. If you prefer pods that come ready-filled, see our separate pre-filled pod kits collection.

How much does a starter kit cost?

From £3.49 for the Vaporesso Vibe SE up to £29.99 for the Luxe X3, with most well-reviewed kits between £9.99 and £24.99. You will also need e-liquid, and replacement pods every week or two.

Do the kits come with a warranty?

Yes. Every device is covered by its maker's warranty against faults, and problems are quickest to settle through a long-standing UK shop. Buy in store or online and you have a real team to go back to.

Can vaping help me stop smoking?

NHS guidance says nicotine vaping is less harmful than smoking and can be an effective stop-smoking tool for adult smokers, but it is not risk-free and is not recommended for non-smokers or under-18s. If you are thinking about stopping smoking, you can also speak to your GP, pharmacist or local stop-smoking service. See the NHS guidance on vaping to quit smoking at nhs.uk/better-health/quit-smoking/vaping-to-quit-smoking/.
