New to all this? Our beginner's guide to vaping and MTL vs DTL explainer are good places to start. Otherwise, let's get into the list.

Best for: almost everyone. The XROS 5 is the kit we recommend most often. Its 1500mAh battery comfortably lasts a full day, 3A USB-C charging tops it back up in around 20 minutes, and the COREX 2.0 mesh pods deliver clean, consistent flavour for both tight MTL and looser RDTL draws. A 0.88” colour screen and three power modes (Eco, Normal, Power) make it easy to fine-tune. Pair it with a 50/50 e-liquid or a nic salt.

Best for: flavour lovers who want a compact daily driver. The Xlim Pro 2 punches above its size with a 1300mAh battery, 30W of adjustable power and a crisp 0.56” Ultra-HD screen. It runs the huge OXVA Xlim pod ecosystem, so your coil and prefilled-pod options are excellent, and 2A charging hits 80% in about 25 minutes. Inhale-activated and pocket-friendly at just 67g.

Best for: ex-smokers and dedicated MTL vapers. Uwell's Caliburn line built its reputation on tight, satisfying mouth-to-lung draws, and the G4 refines it with 35W of power, two output modes (Storm and Waves) and a 1300mAh battery. The Caliburn G3 pods use Uwell's U² tech for excellent flavour with minimal leaking. Just note the charging cable isn't included in the box.

Best for: vapers who want to grow into DTL without buying a second device. The VPrime is the first inhale-activated DTL pod, with a chunky 2600mAh battery, 60W output and pods from 0.2Ω to 0.8Ω covering everything from tight MTL to cloud-chasing sub-ohm. A vivid 0.96” screen and dual button/auto firing round it off. The one to pick if you like options.

Best for: gadget fans on a budget. The Pixo brings a 1.47” colour touchscreen — usually reserved for pricier devices — to an everyday pod kit. The 1100mAh battery, 30W output and pods spanning 0.4Ω to 1.0Ω make it genuinely versatile across MTL, RDTL and airy DTL. Haptic feedback and two power modes make the touchscreen a pleasure to use.

Best for: disposable users ready to switch and save. The ELFX Pro keeps things recognisable while adding real substance: a 1200mAh battery, up to 45W, Eco and Turbo modes and QUAQ dual-mesh pods for rich flavour. A 0.96” colour screen shows everything at a glance, and it's inhale-activated so there's no learning curve.

Best for: those who want a no-fuss daily pod from a trusted brand. The Vmate Pro Power Edition keeps it simple — a 900mAh battery, up to 30W, auto coil detection and dual button/inhale firing. The 0.4Ω and 0.7Ω Vmate V2 pods cover RDTL through to looser MTL, and the top-fill design keeps refills clean.

Best for: vapers who want adjustable power in a tiny package. The Wenax Q keeps things simple but flexible — a 1000mAh battery, 5–25W of adjustable wattage and an HD OLED screen, with dual button and auto-draw firing. The top-fill GeekVape Q pods (0.6Ω and 1.2Ω included) cover MTL through to restricted DTL, and at just 52g it disappears in a pocket.

Best for: first-time vapers and tight budgets. The Xlim Go strips the Xlim formula back to the essentials: a 1000mAh battery, automatic up-to-30W output and no buttons or menus. Crucially it takes the same huge Xlim pod range as its pricier siblings, including prefilled options. At just 41g it's the definition of grab-and-go. (Charging cable not included.)

Best for: ex-disposable users who want a slim, no-fuss pen. The Vibe's standout trick is its dual-mesh pod (0.6Ω and 0.8Ω in one), giving you two flavour profiles without swapping pods. A 1100mAh battery, two power modes (14W Eco, 24W Power) via Vaporesso's AXON chip and simple inhale activation make it an effortless daily carry.

How to choose the right vape kit

Think about your draw first. If you're coming off cigarettes or disposables, a mouth-to-lung (MTL) kit like the Caliburn G4 or Wenax Q will feel most familiar. If you want bigger clouds and a looser draw, look at the VPrime or Aspire Pixo. Not sure which is which? Our guide to MTL and DTL vaping breaks it down.

Battery life matters. Heavier, all-day vapers should lean towards the larger 1500–2600mAh batteries (XROS 5, VPrime). Lighter or occasional vapers can happily live with a compact 900–1100mAh pod like the Vmate Pro or Vibe.

Match your e-liquid. Every kit on this list is built for nic salts and 50/50 e-liquids rather than high-VG shortfills (the VPrime is the exception, handling both). For more on pods and coils, see our ultimate guide to pod kits and guide to vape coils.
