Our selection of new starter e-cig kits includes the best range of pens, pods and mods required to get you started in the world of vaping. Each product comes with detailed descriptions to provide you with a thorough understanding of the device and its unique features.

Choosing your first vape kit can be an exciting but somewhat overwhelming process, considering the variety of options available. Here are some factors to consider when selecting your first vape kit:
Look for a user-friendly device, especially if you're new to vaping. Pod systems and vape pens are popular with first-time vapers as they include features like draw activation.
Consider the battery capacity, especially if you plan to use your vape throughout the day. Larger amp-hour batteries typically mean longer battery life. Fast charge times are also a benefit.
Coils are a crucial part of the vaping experience. Check if the kit offers different coil options to tailor your vaping experience to your preferences. Higher resistance coils, like 1.0 Ohm and above, with lower wattage are better for higher nicotine content vape liquid and nic salts.
Many devices have adjustable airflow. Allowing you to control the amount of vapour produced and the intensity of the throat hit. Airflow is important when choosing between direct-to-lung and mouth-to-lung vaping.
If you don't want to refill your device frequently, choose one with a larger e-liquid capacity. Devices are restricted to a maximum of 2ml capacity. Most starter kits offer easy-fill tanks and pods or pre-filled disposable pods.
If you're transitioning from smoking to vaping, consider the nicotine strength of the e-liquid. Higher nicotine levels are more suitable for those used to smoking regularly.
Consider how portable you need your device to be. Pod systems and vape pens are smaller and more portable, while box mods are bulkier.
Determine your budget and find a kit that fits within it. We have many affordable options for beginners that still provide a satisfying vaping experience.
Check our video reviews online and seek recommendations from friends or experienced vapers to help you identify reliable and well-performing devices.
Stick to reputable brands like Aspire, Geek Vape, Smok, Vaporesso and VooPoo known for producing quality devices, ensuring better performance and safety.
Check if the device has safety features such as overcharge protection, short circuit protection, and low voltage protection.
Remember that your preferences and needs might change over time, so don't be afraid to explore different devices as you become more familiar with vaping. It's also important to educate yourself on proper usage, maintenance, and safety precautions associated with vaping.

Over time, residue builds up, dulling the flavour and reducing performance.
Tank: We recommend that you flush and rinse your tank or pod with warm water at least once a week. If you can, remove the coil before you do it.
Mouthpiece or drip tip: Use a cotton bud or tissue to remove any dust or lint that has built up. Especially if you carry it in your pocket or the bottom of your bag.
Battery connections: Again, use a tissue or cotton bud to clean the battery connections. Magnetic pods usually sit in a recess where fluid and dirt can build up.
Charging and airflow ports: Ensure all ports are clear of dirt or lint by blowing or using a toothpick.
The battery is at the heart of your new vape. A well-looked-after battery will ensure that your new vape kit regularly performs at its best.
If you don't prime your coil by saturating the cotton or wick with vape liquid before you use it, you could experience a dry hit, a burnt taste, or burn your coil out. Which isn't a nice experience.
Follow these simple steps to avoid any nasty surprises.
Over time, your coils will lose their performance due to general usage and liquid residue building up on the coil. Replacing your coils often will help maintain optimum performance and taste.
Signs your coil needs changing:
Your new vape is an investment. An electrical device, not unlike your phone, so don't just throw it around. Avoid just throwing it in the bottom of your bag.

In this video, we explore the features that make the best vape starter kit to choose from.
We take an in-depth look at two of the best starter kits available from Vampire Vape.
Starter kits for new vapers come in various forms, known as MTL or mouth-to-lung kits. Vape pen starter kits or e-cigs are popular because they are easy to use and resemble a slim pen. They have gained popularity because of their simplicity and slim design. Pod starter kits are popular with first-time vapers because of their small, compact designs and easy-to-fill pod tanks. Disposable vapes from brands including Elf Bar and Geek Bar are a great choice if you're unsure about vaping. They're a cheaper option that allows you to discover the benefits at a lower cost.
Vaping was first introduced successfully in 2003 as an effective and safer alternative to smoking by removing lethal chemicals present in cigarette smoke. Did you know there are 250 known poisonous chemicals in cigarette smoke? These include hydrogen, cyanide, carbon monoxide and ammonia, just a few of the most lethal chemicals inhaled when smoking. By omitting these chemicals, vaping is considered a safer alternative to smoking. The PHE (Public Health England) has stated that vaping is 95% less harmful than smoking, while four out of 10 ex-smokers and smokers wrongly believe that nicotine is the cause of most smoking-related cancers. The fact is, evidence has shown that nicotine poses minimal risk to health. Nicotine is highly addictive and the primary cause why smokers find it difficult to quit. Vaping allows ex-smokers to gradually reduce their dependence on nicotine without the harmful effects of smoking. Vaping, unlike smoking, lets you control the amount of nicotine consumed, making it an effective means to quit.
As an alternative to smoking, recent trials funded by the UK NIHR (National Institute for Health Research) suggested that as an alternative to smoking, vaping has proved to be twice as effective as other nicotine replacement therapies at helping smokers who wish to quit. The study aimed to see how many people would abstain from smoking for one year using a typical vape device and 18mg of nicotine-based e-liquids compared to the other nicotine replacement therapies. Of the group studied, 18% of the people vaping compared to less than 10% of the other groups gave up smoking for twelve months. Currently, it is estimated, that nearly 2.6 million people in the UK now use e-cigarettes.
Since its introduction, vaping has become increasingly popular. Vaping devices, also known as e-cigarettes, have become safer and easier to use. Research has also shown that vaping is the most effective aid to quitting smoking, with a success rate twice as high as other nicotine replacement therapies. There is now a wide selection of vape 'starter' kits aimed directly at first-time vapers, from puff bars, also known as disposable vapes, to All-In-One (AIO) vapes and vape pod kits. Since its introduction in the UK in 2005, the e-cigarette or vape pen has come a long way and is one of the most popular vape devices for new vapers. With a rechargeable battery capable of lasting all day, and a 2Ml e-liquid tank or pod with a vape coil designed for MTL (Mouth-To-Lung) vaping, combined with a simple single click or draw activation, the vape pen has changed the way people view vaping. MTL vape pens are designed to mimic cigarettes, providing a familiar feel and experience, making them a perfect gateway to vaping.
Congratulations! It's time to take the first step. There has never been a better time to start vaping. Although vape products are unavailable from your GP, the NHS will advise you to visit a reputable vape reseller. None are more reputable than Vampire Vape, the largest independent e-liquid manufacturer in the UK, producing some of the safest and best quality vape liquids available. The Vampire Vape range of TPD-compliant 10Ml e-liquids is available in over 50 delicious flavours, including numerous award-winning flavours like Heisenberg, a refreshing fruity flavour with menthol taste, and Pinkman, another bold fruity vape e-liquid perfect for first-time vapers. As a valued and trusted vape supplier, Vampire Vape also offers a range of vape starter kits from top brands that deliver a positive and pleasurable vaping experience, perfect when switching to vaping.
As a direct result of the many vaping-related deaths reported in the U.S, caused by cheap vape products and unregulated vape liquids, the UK government, with advice from various health bodies, decided to regulate the use and manufacture of vaping products, including e-liquids. First introduced in 2001, the TPD (Tobacco Products Directive) set out to regulate e-cigarettes as consumer products in 2014. These new regulations restricted E-cigarettes to a maximum 2Ml tank capacity, and the sale of e-liquids was limited to a volume of 10Ml if they contained nicotine. Nicotine content was also regulated and could not exceed 20Mg in strength. That is why e-liquids are sold as 10Ml TPD E-liquids. Since its first introduction, the TPD has continued to regulate the sale and use of vape devices and vape liquids in the UK, ensuring their quality and safety. The UK has also seen many leading independent vape businesses come together to form organisations like the IBVTA (Independent British Vape Traders Association) and the UKVIA (U.K Vape Industry Association). They work closely with the government, regulatory agencies, and scientific and health bodies to improve vaping products and ensure that vaping is viewed and promoted as a safer alternative to smoking.
