What Is The Best E Cig Kit? 12 Vape Kits For Beginner Vapers

What Is The Best E Cig Kit For YOU?

Maybe you are a smoker looking to switch or looking for a good vape starter kit for the smoker in your life.

This guide is here to help whether you are based in the UK, United States, Europe or beyond and is focused on the new vaper with simplicity in mind.

While on the surface this seems a simple enough query, there is in fact a whole host of different things that you, the person asking the question, will need to answer yourself.

If you want to know what these answers are scroll down to the bottom of this page.

If you just want our best e cig starter kits then read on.

1. SMOKO Vape Starter Kit (Editors Choice)

Looking for the best e cig for complete ease of use? Then the Smoko Vape starter kit is the one for you. Here is what will happen when you receive this kit.

Step 1: Open the box
Step 2: Attached the tank to the battery (It’s pre-filled with e-liquid)
Step 3: Vape (Don’t even need to press a button)

You could do that right? Of course you can. Even those with an aversion to anything tech can use this.

So we have mentioned the pre-filled cartridges/tank. What impressed in our testing was the actual flavours. The Menthol, Tobaccos and cigar flavours are excellent for smokers that are making the switch.

They do of course have a number of other flavours available if you want to get away from that familiar tobacco flavour.

During use we experienced zero leaking and the automatic draw was very reactive and worked every time.

There isn’t much more to say about this apart from don’ let its simplicity fool you into thinking it isn’t effective.

As our reviewer said “One of the best starter kits I’ve reviewed…absolutely PERFECT for those smokers looking to quit.”

Features

· One of the most simple vapes to use

· No messy e-liquid refills due to pre-filled tanks

· Realistic flavours

· Excellent value

· Just inhale to vape – No buttons to press

2. Apollo Brez (Best Juul Alternative)

If you are looking to switch to vaping and are looking for pure simplicity then the Apollo Brez could just be the perfect vape kit to start your journey.

The kit comes with 5 pre-filled salt nic pods included in the kit. Which is one reason we think this is one of the nest beginner vape kits available. You have everything you need to not only get you started but also keep you vaping for weeks without worrying about buying new pods.

To add to that it’s one of the best looking kits that is super slim, making it easy to carry around and slip in and out of your pocket.

More importantly, the flavours are some of the most impressive when it comes to pre-filled pods. The nic salt e-liquid that is included within the pods is also the best option for those wanting to stay of the cigs.

There is a lot to like about this setup.

Features

· Dimensions: 104.6 x 16.2 x 8.2 mm

· Simple for new vapers

· Slim, Compact Design

· 320 mAh Internal Battery

· Salt Nic e-juice pods

3. Epuffer Magnum Snaps (Best Cig-a-Like Kit)

The Epuffer Magnum Snaps e cig kit is our top pick cig-a-like for new vapers making the switch.

Apart from the familiarity of the looks the main selling point of the Magnum Snaps is that it features a rechargeable case (called a PCC – Personal Charging Case). May sound simple but as cig-a-like batteries are small the battery life isn’t great.

With the Magnum you simply take a few drags of your e cig and place the battery back in the case and it begins charging. This is a must for when you are out and about.

The kit is high quality and comes with all you need to get started – 2 batteries, 3 cartridges and of course the PCC. The thing we really like is that you can try the kit and if you don’t like it you can return for a full refund.

Features

· Simple to use

· Build quality very good

· Good flavours

· 30 Day money back guarantee – Even if you have used the kit

4. Jacvapour Series S-22 (Best Vape Mod Kit for Beginners)

I’m sure you’ve seen this brand recommended a number of times within this e cig buying guide. The reason is simple, Jacvapour are not only a trusted UK e cig company but they offer a number of top quality electronic cigarettes and e liquids in the UK.

Moving on to one of their latest e cigarettes, the Series S-22.

This is a nice compact mod that offers top performance while being a perfect starting point for a beginner.

The tank that comes with the kit offers both mouth to lung and direct to lung vaping. If you are new to vaping you will likely be best suited to the mouth to lung coil.

Definitely up there with my favourite vape kits for ease of use, it’s a case of popping your tank on and vaping. No wattage controls to worry about!

Features

· Excellent build quality

· Perfect for new vapers with no confusing settings

· Looks great and is pocket friendly

· Good flavour and clouds from the S-22 tank

· Discount code available for all ecigclick readers.

5. JAC Vapour VIM (Best Budget Vape kit)

Looking for a more compact, pocket friendly device that is super easy to use? Then the Jac Vapour VIM AIO is our top pick.

The VIM AIO (All In One) kit offers the perfect starting point for smokers making the switch due to its ease of use. Simply fill the supplied tank (or use the pre-filled pods if you want to go pure simplicity), pop it into the slot in the battery and vape. It’s really that easy. For the more experienced vaper this is also a great choice for a backup device or for those looking for a no fuss e cig that performs.

The VIM offers smokers a Mouth to lung (MTL – Similar to smoking a cigarette) as well as the option for a restricted Direct to Lung (DTL – Inhale directly into the lungs). This is dependent on your coil choice, all of which is very well explained on the JAC Vapour website.

For such a compact e cig the VIM also offers excellent battery life with the inbuilt 2600mAh battery. Depending on the coil you choose it should see most vapers through the day. You can also vape this device whilst charging.

Flavour wise JAC Vapour offer realistic tobacco/Menthol flavours as well as a wide range of fruits and desserts. If you are switching from smoking we’d recommend the SMOKING range of e-liquids for familiarity.

Another plus is that JAC Vapour are an established UK company that design their own products. In a vape world dominated by Chinese brands we think it’s good to ‘shop local’.

That’s it in a nutshell. Highly recommended if you are looking for a no fuss simple device.

Features

· Excellent Value

· Dimensions: 76mm x W: 20mm x L:40.5mm

· Lightweight but solid build

· 2600mAh battery

· Offers sub ohm vaping and mouth to lung

· Self adjusting device for the above (no messing around with wattage/power settings)

· Excellent flavour

· UK Company with industry leading customer service

6. Apollo Ohm Go (Best Kit or both MTL and DTL vaping)

The Apollo Ohm Go kit looks the business. Luckily it’s not a case of ‘all fur coat and no knickers’.

The Ohm Go kit provides two vaping experiences in one. Mouth to lung (MTL) with the supplied 1.0 ohm coil, this is a similar experience that you would get smoking a cigarette. Restricted Direct to lung (DTL) with the supplied 0.5Ohm coil, this will give you that sub ohm vaping experience you may have heard so much about. Albeit a toned down version.

Both coils offer superb flavour and plenty of vapour.

Before you think that it sounds difficult to operate, think again. The Ohm Go is a ‘self adjusting’ vape pen.

By self adjusting we mean you don’t have to fiddle with any wattage settings, the device detects the coil and changes the wattage automatically giving you the optimum vape every time. The only thing it doesn’t do is vape itself.

The tank is top-fill making it easy to fill when you are on the move. All you need with this kit is to add e liquid and your good to go.

If you hadn’t guessed yet. We really like this vape pen kit.

Features

· Build quality and design are top notch

· 1900mAh battery

· Offers sub ohm vaping and mouth to lung

· Self adjusting device for the above (no messing around with wattage/power settings)

· Top fill

· Excellent flavour and cloud production

7. Dinner Lady Pod (Best Disposable Vape)

Personally I’m not a big fan of disposables but as a quick fix when you have no other choice they can be a good option. They can also be good if you are just looking to try some of their flavours for the first time.

One of the better options available is the Dinner Lady disposable pod device.

The flavours are good and with 5 on offer they cover pretty much all the categories. And of course, Lemon Tart is one of them for the fans out there. The nic strength is set at 20mg with the use of nic salts so should also satisfy the craving as well.

Features

· Disposable

· Eaach device equivalent to 20 cigarettes (According to Dinner Lady)

· Good flavours (including Lemon Tart)

· Well Priced – Plus Multi pack offers

8. Jacvapour Series S-17 Starter Kit (Good VApe Pen Option For New Vapers)

The Jacvapour Series S-17 Kit is the new kid on the block from UK brand jacvapour and by far their best yet in it’s category.

The Series S-17 kit has been built for simplicity.

Yet is still offers vapers both mouth to lung and direct lung inhale options. The beauty of this device is that you do not have to mess around with any wattage controls which can be confusing to new vapers.

Simply fill your tank. Place it on the battery and vape. The battery will adjust the power output automatically depending on the coil used.

It’s by no means the latest box mod on the market but the EZ Watt by Innokin is a great vape mod and easy for vapers new to these type of devices to get the hang of.

It fits comfortably into the palm of my hand, the build quality is excellent (a hallmark of Innokin mods) and the paired T20S Tank provides a very good mouth to lung vape.

The EZ Watt is loaded with a 1500mAh capacity battery that gives you plenty of vaping time and while the 35W power output may not be enough for some sub ohm vapers it makes for an easy entry in the vape mod world.

Vapour2/V2 Cigs

Another cig-a-like kit that I first came across many years ago, V2 Cigs have built upon their popularity by producing a solid range of e cigarettes for all levels of users.

Other Recommended Pod Mod Vapes

Pod mods took the vaping world by storm in 2018 and have reached fever pitch going into 2020. For good reason as well. They are one of the simplest, mess free devices available.

There are various styles of pod mod systems. The pen style is arguably the most popular but there has been an increase in these pod style vapes. You will also see that some offer refillable tanks while some just offer pre-filled cartridges, when you are done you simply swap them out.

It really couldn’t get any easier. If you are a new vaper looking for the simplicity of a cig-a-like then this could be for you.
