E-Cigarettes and Vape Starter Kits

Overall, vapes and e-cigarettes serve the same purpose. However, e-cigarettes were a first-generation style which has now been overtaken by more modern systems. They should be considered a subcategory of vapes, including Vape Pens, Pod Systems, and Mods. Traditional e-cigarettes resemble the look of a cigarette and are typically smaller than other devices. Vapourisers or ‘vapes’, including vape starter kits, are generally larger, come in various styles with more customisation, including adjustable power settings, and feature either a prefilled ‘closed’ or refillable ‘open’ design. Vapes deliver a wider range of nicotine strengths and vape flavours than traditional e-cigs.

Beginners often use prefilled ‘closed’ pod systems due to their simple operation. VAPO's range of e-cigarette and vape starter kits includes options like the alt. Pod Vape and Replacement Pods, or the solo Starter Kit, which are known for their user-friendly designs. Starter kits are ideal for those new to vaping due to their compactness and ‘all-in-one’ nature. Explore VAPO’s collection to find the perfect beginner-friendly option.

Nicotine strength is a personal choice that depends on how much you currently smoke. VAPO's starter kits are available in 20mg/mL and 28.5mg/mL strengths, with the latter being a VAPO house brand option. Higher strengths are typically suited to heavier smokers, while those who smoke less may find a lower strength more comfortable. If you are unsure which strength to begin with, VAPO's in-store team can help you find the right fit.

A vape starter kit typically includes a device and at least one pod, giving you everything you need to get started without purchasing components separately. Closed system starter kits come with a prefilled pod already loaded with e-liquid, so they are ready to use straight away. Open system starter kits include a refillable pod and may require you to purchase e-liquid separately. VAPO's range includes both types across a variety of brands.

A closed pod system uses prefilled, sealed pods that are replaced when the e-liquid runs out, offering a straightforward experience with no refilling required. An open pod system uses refillable pods, which allow you to choose your own e-liquid and refill the pod yourself. Closed systems tend to suit those new to vaping or those who prefer simplicity, while open systems offer more flexibility around flavour and nicotine strength. Both types are represented in VAPO's starter kit range.
