The Best Vape Kits to Quit Smoking, An Honest Review 2024

Introduction:

So you're looking to quit smoking but don't know the best equipment/method to do so?

Well, you have come to the right place!
Our team here at UK Vape Scene share the sentiment that vaping is the easiest and most effective way to kick that bad habit and live a cleaner life. Take for example our resident technical guru Stu, who had been smoking for over 10 years before he discovered vaping, and has never looked back since.

But don't just take our word for it!

According to Public Health England, vaping is estimated to be around 95% less harmful than smoking and has a major potential to help smokers quit. They reported that around 50,000 to 70,000 smokers quit each year in England with the help of e-cigarettes.

With statistics like that, it makes it hard to deny the power of vaping as a smoking cessation tool, but at the same time the prospect of vaping may seem daunting to someone who has only ever smoked cigarettes. So we have taken it upon ourselves to offer a clear and simple review of the best vape kits and alternatives for smokers right now to help you find the solution that suits you best!

(It’s okay, you can thank us later)

Disposable Vape Kits:

To start off the list we’ll be talking about how disposable vape kits can assist those looking to quit smoking.
Disposable vapes - as the name suggests - are single-use vape devices that work by internally containing everything needed: the e-liquid, battery and coil.

How they work:

To get started with a disposable vape, all you need to do is remove the packaging and simply start puffing on the device.
The vast majority of disposable vapes feature an auto-draw system which makes the whole operation button-less, and resemble the use of a traditional cigarette.

When it comes to disposables there is no need for re-filling, re-charging or maintenance and once the liquid has run out you can simply throw away the spent device (we recommend you do this responsibly at your local recycling centre).

Pros:

• Closely resemble the function of a regular cigarette.
• Incredibly easy operation even for those not familiar with vaping.
• Available in a variety of flavours, including tobacco and menthol.

Cons:

• Despite being considerably cheaper than buying cigarettes, disposable vapes are the most expensive vaping option long-term.

Recommendation:

The best disposable vape we would recommend to smokers is the Lost Mary BM6000. It stands out to us for its ease of use, flavour variety and longevity. All the flavours they offer are masterfully crafted which makes it our perfect pick for those looking to quit smoking.

Pod Vape Kits:

Next up we will take a look at “Pod Kits”. These kits more closely resemble what most people would consider to be a “reusable vape pen”. Pod Kits are made up of two key components the battery and the pod. To operate the kit, you must first fill the pod with your e-liquid of choice before sliding it into the battery.

How they work:

Getting started with a pod kit is really simple and lends itself to those first getting started with vaping. To set up, firstly fill the vape pod with your desired e-liquid (we recommend high quality nicotine salts). Then you must let the liquid soak into the cotton wicking of the pod for around 5 minutes. Once the liquid has soaked in, simply place the pod into the battery and draw.

Much like disposables, most pod kits operate via auto-draw where the device detects when you are inhaling to activate. Not all pod kits are made equal however and you may find some require the use of a button to activate the device.

Pros:

• Pod kits offer massive versatility to suit a lot of vaping styles.
• Entry level models are as cheap as chips.
• Refilling these kits is always a breeze.
• Buying liquids is over 5 times cheaper than buying straight cigarettes.

Cons:

• Takes a little getting used to if you have absolutely no experience with vaping.

Recommendation:

For the best beginner vape kit we recommend the Uwell Caliburn G3 Lite. It stands out for its cheap price, ease of use and slick design. The G3 Lite really does offer great features for the price too, namely the long lasting 1200mAh battery and 360° view window that allows for easy monitoring of the e-liquid volume.

Heated “Tobacco” Options:

Finally we will look at an entirely different form of cigarette replacement, Heated “Tobacco”. These kinds of kits have become increasingly popular amongst smokers who for whatever reason can't seem to take up vaping. Heated devices more closely resemble the process of smoking cigarettes than any other alternative, so they stand as a solid choice for habitual smokers in need of a change.

How they work:

The following steps outline the set up method for the NEAFS TEO heating device (other brands may differ slightly).
When you first open up your heating device and remove all the packaging you can start off by making sure the device is charged by pressing the power button. Then hold down the fire button to activate the heating element. Once the device signals that it's ready, insert one of the nicotine sticks into its slot. From here you can inhale through the paper mouth tip like you would with a conventional cigarette until the cartridge is spent.

Pros:

• Most accurately replicates the function and feel of smoking cigarettes.
• Buying packets of replacement nicotine sticks is much cheaper than buying a packet of cigarettes.
• The NEAFS TEO in particular offers nicotine sticks that do not contain any harmful tobacco, instead opting for a plant based cellulose mixture.

Cons:

• Unlike vaping, heated devices still generate a similar odour to burning tobacco, making it a lot less discreet.

Recommendation:

Unsurprisingly, our choice for this entry has to be the NEAFS TEO. It has been the first kit of its kind that impressed us so much we knew we needed to stock it.

What stands out about the TEO is the complete lack of tobacco inside its nicotine cartridges. This drastically reduces the harmful chemicals that are notoriously present in combustible cigarettes.
If you’re looking for an accurate smoking analogue, this is the way to go.
