Are you ready to step up from disposable vapes to a new refillable device? The best vape kits give you an experience that’s better than disposables in every way. A great vape kit gives you complete freedom over the flavor and nicotine strength of your e-liquid. It’ll also give you bigger clouds and better flavor quality than you could get with any disposable device.
There’s a huge selection of disposable vapes available at any given time, which can make it difficult for you to choose just one. Whether you're looking for a tiny pod vape, a full-sized vape mod or something in between, we’ll help you figure it out.
These are the best vape kits that you can buy right now.
Best Pre-Filled Pod Vape Kits
A pre-filled pod vape kit uses a removable plastic pod to store its e-liquid. Since the pods are filled with vape juice when you buy them, you can simply drop a pod into your device and start vaping. When a pod is empty, you’ll throw it away and replace it with a new one.
Pre-filled pod vape kits:
- Are extremely easy to use and almost as convenient as disposable vapes.
- Are less wasteful than disposable vapes because you’re discarding empty pods instead of entire devices.

Key Features:
- Two-part design includes a disposable e-liquid pod and a reusable charging/control dock
- E-liquid pod has an internal battery and works as a small vape pen on its own
- Clear tank allows you to see the e-liquid supply
The Foger Switch Pro revolutionized the vaping world this year by combining the best aspects of disposable vapes and pod systems. It looks and works like a disposable vape, but the charging/control dock is a reusable component that you can actually keep. The disposable pod, meanwhile, isn’t a traditional pod because it has an internal battery and works as a small vaping device on its own. Combine those features with an enormous flavor selection, and it’s no surprise that the Foger Switch Pro is a smash hit.
Mi-Pod X-Posed

Key Features:
- Excellent battery life; 1,200 mAh total between the dock and the pod
- Pod has a 300 mAh battery and works for a surprisingly long time without the dock
- Three selectable power levels and adjustable airflow
Two-part disposable vapes like the Mi-Pod X-Posed and the Foger Switch Pro described above have taken the niche that was once filled by traditional pre-filled pod systems. People love the high-capacity pods, and they also love the fact that the pods have their own batteries and can work for a while without their charging docks. The Foger Switch Pro is the most popular vape kit in this category right now, but there are some who believe that the new Mi-Pod X-Posed is even better. The battery life is incredible for such a small device, and the fact that the X-Posed offers three different power levels makes it easy to get exactly the level of intensity that you want.
Best Refillable Pod Vape Kits
Like the pre-filled pod vape kits described above, a refillable pod vape also uses a drop-in plastic pod to store its e-liquid. The difference is that a refillable pod vape kit ships with one or more empty pods, which you’ll fill yourself using bottled e-liquid.
Refillable pod vape kits:
- Allow you to use any e-liquid flavor and nicotine strength.
- Often provide more options for customizing your vaping experience through different pod choices and power settings.

- Simple design with no onboard controls or settings except an airflow slider
- Device configures itself automatically depending on the resistance of the installed pod and operates at up to 30 watts
- Battery has a capacity of 1,500 mAh and charges in under an hour
The new generation of simple and straightforward pod vape kits is here in the form of the Vaporesso XROS 5 Mini. The fact that the XROS 5 Mini has no onboard controls doesn’t mean that you have to settle for anything less than a satisfying experience, though, because this impressive little device operates at up to 30 watts depending on the resistance of the installed pod. The XROS 5 Mini works with all Vaporesso XROS pods, including the latest COREX 3.0 pods.
Geekvape Sonder Q

Key Features:
- One of the most affordable refillable vapes on the market
- Extremely easy to use
- Adjustable airflow
If you’re interested in switching to a refillable vape but are nervous about using a device that might make your experience more complicated, the Geekvape Sonder Q is an ideal choice because it’s specifically designed to be as straightforward as a refillable vape can possibly be. All that you need to do is charge the device, fill the pod and puff to vape. The Sonder Q has adjustable airflow, and the fact that the pods are available in three different resistances allows you to adjust the intensity of your experience. Choose the 0.6-ohm pod for warmer vapor or use the 1.2-ohm pod for an experience that’s cooler and smoother. A 0.8-ohm pod is also available if the other two aren’t quite right for you.
Best Vape Pen Kits
A vape pen is a vape kit with a cylindrical shape, a bit like that of an actual pen. A vape pen holds its e-liquid in a glass tank rather than a plastic pod, and the tank usually attaches to the vape pen via screw-like threading. Having a vape pen that uses threaded attachments allows you to experiment with other tanks if you like.
Vape pen kits:
- Are often more powerful than pod vapes, typically producing bigger vapor clouds and lasting longer between battery charges.
- May have better flavor quality than pod vapes since they store their e-liquid in glass rather than plastic.
SMOK Vape Pen V2

Key Features:
- Huge battery capacity of 1,600 mAh
- Designed for direct-to-lung vaping with huge cloud production
- Supports coils with resistances as low as 0.15 ohm
Offering all-day life in a pocket-friendly shape, the SMOK Vape Pen V2 has an impressive battery capacity of 1,600 mAh and delivers a true sub-ohm vaping experience for those who prefer deep direct-to-lung hits. Four coils are available for the SMOK Vape Pen V2, with resistances ranging from 0.4 ohm all the way down to 0.15 ohm. Although it’s incredibly powerful, the SMOK Vape Pen V2 is also simple to use – just hold the button to vape or tap the button twice to see the remaining battery life.
Best Pod Mod Vape Kits
Vape mods – which we’ll discuss shortly – are the most powerful vaping devices on the market, but they’re often quite large and heavy. The pod mod design provides a compromise by giving you huge cloud production almost like that of a vape mod in a pod-based platform that’s much smaller and lighter.
Pod mod vape kits:
- Are a bit larger than traditional pod vapes but offer substantially more power and are appropriate for the direct-to-lung inhaling style.
- Despite their power, are typically small and light enough to carry comfortably in your pocket.

Key Features:
- Beautiful hidden color display disappears into the device’s finish when you aren’t vaping
- Smart tracking allows you to track your average usage per day, week and month
- Supports button-activated and puff-based firing
Don’t let the small size of the Vaporesso XROS Pro 2 fool you. Although it’s a tiny vape, it has the features that you want if you’re a discerning vaper – and plenty of style to boot. The XROS Pro 2 offers fully adjustable power and operates at up to 30 watts. Before you even have a chance to play with that feature, though, you’ll be blown away by the sleek design of the device’s hidden color display, which fades gracefully into the outer finish when you aren’t vaping. You’ll love the XROS Pro 2 if you’re interested in buying a vape kit that can help you track your nicotine intake because it automatically tracks your average number of puffs per day, week and month. If you think that you might be vaping a little more often than you usually do, there’s no need to guess – the XROS Pro 2 can tell you.

Key Features:
- Large pod works like a traditional vape tank and has built-in airflow control
- 60-watt power range with a surprisingly small size
- Uses Voopoo PnP-X coils, available in seven resistances ranging from 0.15 to 1.0 ohm
If you’re ready to step up to something that offers a pro-level experience but don’t want your next vape kit to be too large or heavy, the Voopoo Drag S2 will be perfect for you because it’s dramatically more powerful than a traditional pod system with only a slight increase in size. Operating at up to 60 watts, the Drag S2 uses Voopoo’s replaceable PnP-X coil system to deliver mind-boggling clouds and deep, saturated flavors that you could never hope to get with a disposable vape. It adapts itself easily to suit both mouth-to-lung and direct-to-lung inhaling, and the outer leather padding adds a nice touch of class.
Best Vape Mod Kits
Vape mods are the largest vape kits that you can buy – and thanks to their size, they often have the highest power ranges and best battery life. If you’re an experienced and demanding vaper who wants the best cloud production that a vaping device can possibly provide, you need to get a vape mod.
Vape mod kits:
- Use glass vape tanks rather than plastic pods and typically have excellent flavor quality. Because a vape mod uses threaded attachments, you’re free to experiment with third-party tanks if you like.
- May be more complicated to use than other types of vapes.
SMOK X-Priv Plus
Key Features:
- Oversized fire bar allows you to vape by squeezing the device
- Operates at up to 225 watts
- Large color display with touch-sensitive adjustment panels
SMOK has been one of the world’s top makers of high-end vape mods for a while, and the new X-Priv Plus revamps the company’s entire design philosophy with a large full-color display and touch-sensitive panels for changing settings. The X-Priv Plus uses two removable 18650 batteries and reaches a maximum power of 225 watts. Although it’s a large device, the gently curved shape makes it easy to hold. We also like the oversized side-mounted fire key, which allows you to activate the vape simply by squeezing it instead of hunting for a small fire button.
Vaporesso Gen SE

Key Features:
- Power of a full-sized vape mod in a half-sized package
- Uses a single 18650 battery (not included) and operates at up to 80 watts
- Includes a top-airflow tank that operates in near silence
If you’re looking for a vape kit that offers the power and flexibility of a full-fledged vape mod but won’t feel like a brick in your pocket, we think you’re going to love the Vaporesso Gen SE. Using a single 18650 battery rather than a dual-battery setup like most mods, this device is still able to reach a maximum power of 80 watts – which is more than enough for most people – while being about half the size. With the Gen SE’s threaded connection, you’ll have the freedom to use your device with whatever vape tank you like. We think you’ll love the included Vaporesso iTank T, though, which has a top airflow vent and is nearly silent in operation.
