If you want a vape that’s easy to use, look no further than prefilled pod vape kits. These handy kits require very little maintenance – instead of refilling them with a bottle of e-liquid, all you need to do is replace a prefilled pod. Plus, they boast a lower running cost and create less waste than disposable vapes. If you’re looking for a new vape ahead of the UK disposable vape ban, a prefilled pod kit might be just what you need!

All of the kits on this list deliver an MTL (Mouth To Lung) inhale and produce a discreet amount of vapour. Plus, they’re inhale activated, so they’ll feel immediately familiar. Because they’re so fuss-free, they’re popular with vapers of all experience levels. Whether you’re a new vaper looking for an easy way to get started or a vape expert looking for a simple backup, there’s a prefilled pod kit to suit you. Read on for a look at the best!

Best Pod Vape Kits

Pros & Cons

  • Rechargeable Elf Bar
  • Wide Range Of Flavours
  • Refillable Pod Option
  • Only One Nicotine Strength

Elf Bar is well known for their best-selling disposable vapes, famous all around the world. The Elfa Pro kit is a prefilled pod version that features the same popular flavours you’d find in the disposables. It houses a rechargeable 500mAh battery that’ll last most vapers all day.

This kit is compatible with both Elfa and Elfa Pro pods, so you can switch between them to try both original Elfa and exclusive Elfa Pro flavours. The pods contain a QUAQ mesh coil which heats e-liquid quickly and evenly for boosted flavour. Since the e-liquid inside is a nic salt blend, your cravings will be satisfied quickly and you’ll experience a smooth throat hit. There’s even a refillable pod available if you ever fancy pairing this kit with a 50/50 e-liquid.

Pros & Cons

  • Rechargeable Elf Bar
  • Sleek, Pocket-Friendly Shape
  • Refillable Pod Option
  • Only One Nicotine Strength

Yes, that’s right – two Elf Bar prefilled pod kits in a row. Following hot on the heels of the Elfa Pro is the Elf Mate 500. Much like the first entry, the Elf Mate uses prefilled pods featuring some of the best-selling Elf Bar blends and it also contains a 500mAh battery. However, it has a smoother, thinner shape that some customers prefer, and it features some different and more unique pod flavour blends like Sakura Mint and Kiwi Cucumber.

Elf Mate P1 pods are available in over 30 flavours, so there are plenty of options to suit your personal flavour preferences. The e-liquid inside each pod features a nic salt blend, so they’ll deliver a smooth throat hit while satisfying cravings fast. If you ever want to try something different, you can opt for the refillable Elf Mate pods instead and fill them up with 50% VG vape juice.

Pros & Cons

  • Popular Lost Mary Flavours
  • Big Built-In Battery
  • Includes Three Pods
  • Pods Need To Be Primed

The Lost Mary Tappo makes a great choice if you’re looking for a prefilled pod vape that’s eye-catching yet compact. It features a 750mAh built-in battery that’s larger than those found in most other kits on this list. So, it’ll last for longer between charges. Your kit comes with three pods, so you can start vaping right away.

Speaking of pods, you’ll find the Tappo pods are available in a wide range of flavours inspired by the popular Lost Mary disposable vapes. Whether you prefer something classic like Silky Tobacco or a sweeter option like Mix Berries, there’s a blend to suit every palate. The pods are filled with nic salt e-liquid, so they’ll provide a smooth throat hit – and since they’re part of our 3 for £15 multi-buy you can try new flavours for less.

Pros & Cons

  • Unique Square Shape
  • Child-Proof Power Switch
  • Bold, Punchy Blends
  • Limited Range Of Pods

The Riot Connex kit is a prefilled pod vape with a unique, compact design. Turn your device on, connect your battery to a pod – they’ll snap together magnetically – and you’re ready to go. The 500mAh built-in battery can be recharged, so it can be reused again and again. It’s a surprisingly lightweight yet solid-feeling kit, so it’s ideal for vaping on the go.

If you’ve ever browsed our e-liquids and sorted by best-selling, you’ll no doubt have run into Riot. When it comes to vape juice, they’re well known for bold, punchy blends, and you’ll find the same in pods for the Connex kit. Customer (and staff!) favourites include fruity Blueberry Sour Raspberry, cool Pineapple Ice and familiar Classic Tobacco.

Pros & Cons

  • Crystal Bar Inspired Flavours
  • Familiar Shape & Size
  • Includes Pack Of Pods
  • Relatively Small Battery

Here’s another kit made by a big disposable vape brand – the SKE Crystal Plus pod kit is brought to you by the creators of Crystal Bar disposables. It’s an ideal choice if you’re looking for something pocket-friendly thanks to its sleek and slim design. The kit houses a 400mAh built-in battery that can be recharged quickly with a USB-C cable.

If you’re looking for disposable-inspired flavours, there are plenty to choose from in the Crystal Plus range! You’ll receive a pack of pods with your kit too, so you can get started quickly. Popular options include Cherry Ice, Lemon & Lime and Blue Razz Lemonade. Since they’re part of our 3 for £15 multi-buy, you can stock up on these nic salt pods for less.

Pros & Cons

  • Big Puff Vape
  • Lost Mary Flavours
  • Easy To Use
  • Limited Colour/Flavour Combinations

Lost Mary are heavy hitters in the disposable game and we could say the same for reusable vapes, thanks to their 4 In 1 kit. Each one delivers 2400 puffs straight out of the box and as you can also replace the pods, this device will last far longer than any single-use vape. Its built-in 850mAh battery is bigger too and it’ll go for around a day between charges.

The Lost Mary 4 In 1 pods arrive in packs of two and each one is prefilled with 2ml of 20mg nic salt e-liquid – they’ll provide a smooth throat hit whilst quickly satisfying cravings. There are 16 flavours available, including popular disposable-inspired blends such as Pineapple Ice, Blueberry Sour Raspberry and Double Apple. If you’re looking to stock up on a budget, make use of our 3 for £12 multi-buy.

Pros & Cons

  • Popular Gold Bar Flavours
  • Sleek, Simple Design
  • Wide Range Of Flavours
  • Small Built-In Battery

For a pod vape kit that features unique flavours and a unique design, check out the Gold Bar Reload pod vape kit. Designed by the creators of Gold Bar disposables, this kit features a 500mAh built-in battery that should last most vapers a full day.

You’ll be able to pick from a wide range of soda, fruit and ice blends in the Gold Bar Reload pods collection – all inspired by the best-selling Gold Bar disposables. Staff and customer favourites include Lemon Lime, Blue Raspberry and Spearmint, and since they’re part of our 3 for £15 multi-buy you can stock up and save. Looking for more information on this kit?

Pros & Cons

  • Popular Elf Bar Flavours
  • Use Two Pods At Once
  • Simple Design
  • E-Liquid Level Not Visible

Plenty of brands have had a go at creating multi-pod vape kits – like SKE and Sky Hunter, featured below – but none of these options were quite so hotly anticipated as the Elf Bar 1200. This kit features a built-in 650mAh battery and is easy to use – just insert two pods and rotate the mouthpiece to swap between them.

When it comes to pods, there are 16 different flavours to choose from, ranging from sweet Grape to frosty Pineapple Ice. You can stick with two pods in the same flavour if you’ve already found your favourite, or mix things up by loading two different flavours into your device.

Pros & Cons

  • Four-In-One Pod Design
  • Impressive Built-In Battery
  • Compact Shape
  • Requires Some Setup

The Crystal 4in1 pod vape kit is another multi-pod option. It makes an ideal choice if you like to swap between flavours frequently or if you’re looking for an alternative to disposable devices. Insert the four included pods and then rotate the mouthpiece to swap between them. The big built-in 950mAh battery is the largest on this list, so it’s a good choice if you want to vape without worrying about running out of charge!

Crystal 4in1 pods are available in over 30 flavours inspired by the best-selling Crystal Bar disposable vapes. If you like sweet blends, we recommend Rose Edition, or for something a little sharper, go for Green Edition. The pods are part of our 3 for £15 multi-buy, so you can stock up on your favourites while saving money.

Pros & Cons

  • IVG Flavours
  • Easily Switch Flavours
  • Higher Puff Count
  • Limited Colour/Pod Combinations

The IVG Air 4 In 1 is worth checking out if you're after a longer-lasting prefilled pod kit. This big puff vape features a rotating, four-in-one pod design that allows it to deliver up to 2400 puffs before you have to replace the pods – plus, you can switch between flavours with just a twist. Its hefty 1100mAh built-in battery will last around a day between charges. This vape will create a discreet amount of vapour, for an MTL inhale that feels similar to a cigarette or disposable.

You’ll find the IVG Air pods in 27 flavours and fruit, soda and ice blends feature throughout the range. Some of our favourites are Classic Menthol and Blue Raspberry Ice, or if you fancy a sweet vape – Fizzy Cherry. As part of our 3 for £15 multi-buy, you can stock up on these pods on a budget.
