What Are The Best Sub Ohm Vape Kits To Buy In 2024?

We’ll kick this guide off with one of our smaller sub ohm kits, the Smok Nord 5. Whilst this one keeps things simple, it's still capable of an 80W output. Aside from delivering an authentic DTL vape thanks to its high power output, the Nord 5 will fit in your pocket and is one of the more compact options featured on this list. Thanks to the 2000mAh built-in battery, whether you're vaping a high wattage or something a bit lower, this kit keeps going for longer between charges.

The Nord 5 is compatible with the Smok RPM 3 coils, with their mesh builds boosting flavour while also producing more vapour. The combination of these coils and the kit's high power output means a better taste and a genuine DTL vape just like with a classic sub ohm kit.

If you’ve been vaping for a while and are looking for a more advanced kit – that isn’t too complicated – the Voopoo Drag S might be the perfect fit. Thanks to Smart mode, you no longer have to guess the correct wattage level for your coils – the kit does it for you. That said, if you prefer a more traditional approach, you can still use Variable Wattage mode to select a power level manually. Plus, its triple adjustable airflow makes it a solid choice if you fancy experimenting with your inhale.

Small enough to fit in your pocket, yet still large enough to feature a 2500mAh battery for longer sessions of vaping, the Drag S kit is the ideal choice for vaping on the go. However, what really sets this kit apart, is the large range of compatible coils from the VooPoo PnP range. There are options that can be used for classic DTL (Direct To Lung) vaping, as well as high resistance coils, which turn the Drag S into an MTL (Mouth To Lung) kit for a more discreet vape.

Whether you’re a full or part-time sub ohm vaper, this one’s a great choice. Despite offering multiple vaping styles, the OXVA Xlim Pro vape kit keeps simplicity in mind. Smart Mode allows you to get set up quickly, but if you fancy fine-tuning things, there’s always adjustable wattage and airflow control. Aside from the simple setup, you’ll get plenty of use between charges too! Its 1000mAh built-in battery lasts around a day and when it runs out you can quickly recharge it in a little over half an hour.

When it comes to using this device, you can pick between OXVA Xlim V2 and Xlim V3 pods. But since you’re after a sub ohm vape, we recommend going for the 0.4 Ohm Xlim V3 pod for best results. Fancy switching your vapour production up? There are also 0.6 Ohm - 1.2 Ohm options available.

If you’ve ever used an Xros device, you’ll know how highly regarded they are. But if this is the first you’ve heard of the range, allow us to introduce the Vaporesso Xros Pro vape kit – it’s one of our favourites. Offering a 30W max power output, this vape will deliver small or large amounts of vapour, depending on the settings and pod you choose. That’s not all though, the Xros Pro boasts a variety of modes such as Eco, Normal and Power modes, so there are plenty of options when it comes to customisation.

The Xros pods are some of the best in the game. Each pod houses a built-in mesh Corex 2.0 coil that’ll heat your e-liquid quickly and evenly, boosting flavour. They’re available in 0.4 Ohm - 1.2 Ohm resistances, but we recommend going for the 0.4 Ohm pod for a sub ohm vape. Use 70% VG e-liquid with the 0.4 Ohm pod and 50% VG vape juice with the other options.

The Luxe XR Max is one of the most popular in Vaporesso’s long line of Luxe pod kits. Putting their years of expertise to good use, the XR Max is a powerful option that’s still compact enough to be pocket-friendly. It houses a 2800mAh built-in battery that’s large enough to allow for plenty of vaping between charges while supporting the kit’s 5 - 80W wattage output. The intelligent chipset enables Smart Mode which keeps things easy by automatically setting the best wattage for your chosen coil.

The XR Max comes complete with two Luxe XR pods and two GTX coils, so you’ll have everything you need to get started – just add e-liquid. GTX coils feature a mesh build, so they’ll heat your vape juice quickly and evenly for boosted flavour. The kit includes coils in two different resistances, so you’ll be able to try them both out and decide which one you prefer. Whichever one you go for, we recommend a 70% VG vape juice for best results. Plus, if you ever fancy MTL vaping, simply swap to a higher-resistance GTX coil – no need to buy a whole new kit!

The Voopoo Argus Pro is a powerful sub ohm kit that’s versatile and hard-wearing. Within the leather and metal alloy body is a large 3000mAh built-in battery that delivers the kit’s 5 - 80W power output. The GENE.TT chipset inside allows you to pick from a range of modes for a customisable experience. Smart Mode will automatically set the best wattage based on your chosen coil, for fuss-free vaping. Plus, you can pick from Variable Wattage to tailor the wattage output yourself or RBA Mode to fine-tune the power to your coil.

Along with the device, you’ll find that a Voopoo PnP pod and two PnP coils are included in the box. The coils are easy to change thanks to their push-fit design, and replaceable coils mean less waste in comparison to kits with built-in coils. The coils in the box come in two different sub ohm resistances and are designed to work with e-liquids that are at least 70% VG. Plus, with plenty more coil resistances to pick from in the full range, you can vape your way and experiment vapour production to discover your perfect inhale.

Want a kit that combines high performance and ease of use? The Innokin Gozee has you covered. Its built-in 2100mAh battery makes it a solid option if you’re after something long-lasting and powerful. It’s also very versatile, as it caters to all three vaping styles. This allows for a more customisable vape and is made possible by its 5 - 60W variable output range and wide selection of coils.

Refilling the included Go Z tank is easily done, thanks to a simple, sliding top-fill design. It’s compatible with the whole Innokin Zenith coil range, with a pre-installed 0.8 Ohm coil and includes a 1.6 Ohm option that works best with 50% VG or high PG e-liquids. If you’re more of a DTL vaper, you can pair this kit with the sub ohm Zenith coils. Plus, its adjustable airflow lets you switch between a tighter or looser inhale.

The Luxe X Pro kit is a good choice if you’re looking for a really versatile kit. It supports MTL, RDTL and DTL vaping, and swapping your vaping style is as easy as replacing your pod. It features a 1500mAh built-in battery that delivers 5-40W output. Smart Mode enables the device to pick the best wattage for your chosen pod automatically for a convenient option, or go for Variable Wattage for a little more personalisation. Plus, the adjustable airflow slider means you can control exactly how tight or loose each puff feels.

The Luxe X Pro is compatible with Luxe X and Luxe XR pods. Luxe X pods require less maintenance as they feature built-in coils, while Luxe XR pods can be fitted with coils from the Vaporesso GTX range, available in a wide range of resistances. So, you can pick between convenience or flexibility and vape whichever way suits you best. Between the two pod styles, you’ll have access to MTL, RDTL and DTL vaping styles, so it’s easy to switch up your inhale whenever you want.

If you’re looking for a straightforward sub ohm vape, look no further than the Smok Vape Pen V2. With a classic vape pen design, this kit houses a built-in 1600mAh battery that’s enough to last most vapers a full day. It delivers a fixed power output of 60W and single-button operation, with no settings or menus for a convenient everyday option. This fuss-free, simple DTL vape still offers customisation – you can adjust how each inhale feels thanks to an adjustable airflow wheel and a range of compatible coils in different resistances.

The Vape Pen V2 kit includes a Smok V2 tank, which is compatible with Smok V2 coils – two are included in the box to get you started. These coils feature a mesh build, which means they heat e-liquid quickly and evenly to deliver improved flavour and vapour. Refilling the tank is simple thanks to the top-filling design, which means you won’t need to remove the tank from the device to fill it up. Pair this kit with e-liquid that’s at least 70% VG for better vapour production.

Who said sub ohm vaping has to be complicated? The VooPoo Drag E60 is a compact vape kit and a good introduction to DTL (Direct To Lung) vaping. Impressively, for a smaller sub ohm kit, the E60 can deliver a 60W max output. This means it can easily keep up with any other sub ohm kit on the market and will create large amounts of vapour for a DTL (Direct To Lung) vape. Smart mode will automatically select the best wattage for your coil, so there's less setup required too.

Speaking of coils, you can take your pick from the entire VooPoo PnP range with the option of both MTL and DTL coils to choose from. The wide variety of coils and the Variable Wattage make this kit a very versatile piece of hardware, and if your vaping style changes it can change with you. All of this power and customisability is supported by a long-lasting 2550mAh battery that can last all day on a single charge.
