Rechargeable prefilled & refillable pod kits — the legal, better-value replacement for disposables. 100% genuine, TPD-compliant, free UK delivery over £25 and same-day dispatch.
Shop vape kits ↓For most people, the best vape kit is a rechargeable prefilled pod kit — it looks and vapes like the old disposables but is legal, cheaper and less wasteful. If you want the lowest running cost, choose a refillable pod kit and add your own 10ml nic salts. Heavier vapers should look at a big-puff kit (10,000–50,000 puffs) for the best value per puff.
At Ice Vape we've built our entire range around one idea: giving UK vapers the widest choice of genuine, TPD-compliant vape kits at honest prices, backed by service you can trust. We stock over 1,500 vape kits from every major brand — Hayati, Lost Mary, Elf Bar, Crystal Prime, IVG, Vaporesso, Uwell, Oxva, SKE, Al Fakher and more — so whether you want a pocket-sized MTL pod kit or a 30,000-puff powerhouse, you'll find it here.
Every device we sell is 100% authentic UK stock, sourced directly through official distributors. Counterfeit vapes are a real problem online, which is why we guarantee genuine products, complete with the correct batteries, coils and pods. All of our kits meet UK TPD regulations — a maximum nicotine strength of 20mg/ml and refillable or replaceable pods of no more than 2ml — and every order is age-verified at checkout for adults 18 and over.
Order before 4pm on a working day and we'll dispatch your vape kit the same day, in plain, discreet packaging with tracking. UK delivery is free on orders over £25, and our UK-based support team is on hand if you need help choosing. That combination — genuine stock, huge range, fair prices, fast free delivery and honest advice — is why thousands of UK vapers choose Ice Vape for their pod kits.
A vape kit is a complete, reusable vaping device — usually a rechargeable battery paired with a pod or tank that holds your e-liquid. Since the UK banned single-use disposables on 1 June 2025, vape kits have become the standard way to vape. Unlike a disposable, you charge the battery over USB-C and either click in a fresh prefilled pod or refill an empty one with your own nic salt e-liquid, so a single device lasts for weeks or months instead of a day or two.
Vape kits come in every shape and size, from tiny mouth-to-lung (MTL) pod kits that mimic a cigarette draw, to larger sub-ohm kits that produce big clouds. For the vast majority of UK vapers — especially anyone moving on from disposables — a compact pod kit is the ideal choice.
Understanding the main types of vape kit makes choosing far easier. Here are the categories we stock and who each one suits.
Prefilled pod kits are the direct replacement for disposables. They use sealed, ready-filled pods that click straight into a rechargeable battery — no filling, no mess. When a pod runs out, you drop in a fresh one. Brands like Elf Bar, Lost Mary, Crystal and Hayati bottle their most popular disposable flavours into these pods, so you get the same taste you're used to. They're the easiest, most convenient option and our best-selling category.
Refillable pod kits use an empty pod that you fill yourself with 10ml nic salts. They're a little more hands-on, but they work out significantly cheaper per millilitre and let you choose from hundreds of flavours and strengths. Devices like the Vaporesso XROS, Uwell Caliburn and Oxva Xlim are cult favourites for their reliability and flavour. If cost matters most to you, refillable is the way to go.
Big-puff vape kits pack huge e-liquid capacity into a rechargeable device, rated from 10,000 up to 50,000 puffs. A single kit can last weeks, giving the lowest cost per puff of any format. Al Fakher, Crystal Prime, Hayati and Lost Mary all make popular big-puff kits. They're ideal for regular, all-day vapers who want fewer repurchases.
For experienced vapers, sub-ohm kits run at higher power for direct-to-lung (DTL) clouds and bold flavour using low-strength shortfills, while dedicated MTL kits give a tight, cigarette-like draw with higher-strength nic salts. Choose these once you know the style of vaping you prefer.
With so many options, four simple questions will point you to the perfect vape kit.
If convenience matters most, choose a prefilled pod kit — click in a pod and go. If you want the cheapest running cost and the widest flavour choice, choose a refillable kit and buy 10ml nic salts separately. Many vapers keep one of each.
Light or occasional vapers are well served by a small 600–4,000 puff pod kit. Moderate daily vapers should look at 6,000–15,000 puffs, and heavy all-day vapers get the best value from a big-puff kit of 20,000 puffs or more. Bigger capacity means fewer refills and a lower cost per puff.
UK e-liquid is capped at 20mg/ml. As a guide, 20mg nic salt suits heavier smokers switching from cigarettes (it's the same strength the old disposables used), while 10mg suits lighter smokers. You can always step down over time as cravings ease.
Vape kits start from around £5 and rise with capacity and features. Remember to factor in running costs: prefilled pods cost roughly £4–6 a pack, while a 10ml nic salt (about £3–4) refills a pod many times over. Over a month, a refillable kit is almost always the cheapest way to vape.
We stock every major UK vape brand. Here's a quick guide to the ones our customers rate most, with links to shop each range.
Hayati — best known for its Pro Max pod kits and smooth nic salts, Hayati has become one of the UK's most popular brands for big-puff, great-value kits.
Lost Mary — the design-led sister brand to Elf Bar, famous for its BM-series and Nera pod kits and bold, refined flavours.
Elf Bar — arguably the most recognised name in UK vaping, with a huge flavour range and reliable, compact prefilled pod kits.
Crystal Prime — pushes the highest puff counts (up to 40,000) at aggressive prices, ideal for value-focused heavy vapers.
IVG — a long-established British brand with one of the widest ranges of pods, kits and e-liquids on the market.
Vaporesso and Uwell — the go-to names for refillable pod kits, with the XROS and Caliburn ranges beloved for flavour and reliability.
Oxva — makers of the excellent Xlim refillable series, and SKE, the brand behind the hugely popular Crystal line of prefilled pod kits.
Single-use disposables were banned in the UK in June 2025 because their built-in batteries and sealed liquid made them wasteful and impossible to recycle properly. Vape kits solve that: the battery recharges and the pod is replaced or refilled. The experience is almost identical — the same flavours, the same easy draw — but a vape kit costs a fraction as much to run and creates far less waste. If you loved a particular disposable, the same brand almost certainly makes a prefilled pod kit with the identical flavour.
Getting the best from your vape kit is simple. Charge it fully via USB-C before first use. Prime a new pod or coil by leaving it filled for 3–5 minutes so the wick soaks up e-liquid — this prevents the most common problem, a burnt taste. Keep the pod topped up so the coil never runs dry, avoid chain-vaping, and replace the pod or coil every 1–2 weeks for crisp flavour. Store your kit out of direct heat and don't leave it charging unattended. For more, see our vape battery guide and troubleshooting guide.
All vape kits sold in the UK must comply with the Tobacco Products Directive (TPD): nicotine e-liquid is capped at 20mg/ml, refill bottles at 10ml and pods or tanks at 2ml. You must be 18 or over to buy. Single-use disposables have been banned since 1 June 2025, and a new Vaping Products Duty of £2.20 per 10ml begins on 1 October 2026. Every kit at Ice Vape is fully compliant and age-verified. For the full picture, read our UK vaping laws guide.

Flavour is the number one reason vapers stick with a device, and our vape kits cover every taste. In the UK, the most popular categories are fruit (blue razz, watermelon, mango, cherry), menthol and ice blends that add a crisp, cooling finish, drinks such as cola, lemonade and energy, and dessert and sweet flavours like custard and gummy bear. Iced-fruit blends are consistently the biggest sellers, translated directly from the disposable era where brands built their reputations on flavours like blue razz ice and watermelon ice.
If you're switching from cigarettes, many vapers find a menthol or tobacco flavour the most familiar starting point, before branching out into fruit. Because taste is personal, the best approach with a refillable kit is to buy one or two 10ml nic salts to try before committing to a flavour you love. Use the flavour filter above to browse vape kits by the taste you're after.
Public health bodies including the NHS and OHID state that vaping is substantially less harmful than smoking, and a vape kit is one of the most effective tools for making the switch — but it's intended for adult smokers and vapers only, not for non-smokers, and nicotine is addictive. To give yourself the best chance, start with a prefilled or refillable pod kit and a 20mg nic salt, which delivers nicotine quickly and smoothly enough to satisfy cigarette cravings. Keep your kit charged and topped up so it's always ready when a craving hits, the way a cigarette would be.
Over the following weeks, as your cravings settle, you can step your nicotine down — for example from 20mg to 10mg and beyond — at your own pace. Many people find the routine and hand-to-mouth habit is as important as the nicotine, which a pod kit satisfies while removing the tar and combustion of smoking. For more on making the switch, read our guide on quitting smoking with vaping.
Most issues with a vape kit are quick to solve. If your kit tastes burnt, the coil has dried out — prime a new pod and keep it topped up. If it's leaking or gurgling, you've likely overfilled it or the pod isn't seated properly; wipe it dry and take gentler draws. If it won't fire or produce vapour, check the battery is charged, the pod is clicked in fully, and the metal contacts are clean. If it won't charge, try a different cable and USB port and clean the charging port with a dry cotton bud. Our full vape troubleshooting guide walks through every common problem in detail.
Modern vape kits are very safe when used sensibly. Always use the supplied USB-C cable with a standard phone-style plug, never leave a device charging unattended or overnight, and charge it on a hard, non-flammable surface. Keep your kit out of extreme heat and cold, and top it up little and often rather than running it flat every time, which is kinder to the battery. When a device finally reaches the end of its life, never put it in your household bin — the lithium battery can catch fire. Instead, recycle it at a vape shop or electricals (WEEE) recycling point. See our vape battery safety guide for the full details.

A vape kit is only as good as the parts that keep it running. For prefilled devices, you'll want a supply of matching replacement pods — always choose pods made for your exact kit, as they're brand- and model-specific. For refillable and sub-ohm kits, replacement coils are the key consumable; swap them every one to two weeks for the crispest flavour, and keep a spare USB-C cable handy. You'll find genuine pods, coils and accessories for all the kits we sell in our vape pods and coils & accessories ranges, and every product page lists which devices it fits.

Yes. A rechargeable vape kit costs far less over time, produces less waste and is legal in the UK, whereas single-use disposables were banned in June 2025. The vaping experience is almost identical, but you recharge the battery and replace or refill the pod.
A simple, draw-activated prefilled or refillable pod kit paired with a 10–20mg nic salt is the easiest starting point. It mimics a cigarette draw, needs no buttons or settings, and is inexpensive. See our best vapes for beginners guide for specific recommendations.
The kit itself usually costs £5–15. After that, prefilled pods run about £4–6 a pack, while a 10ml nic salt (around £3–4) refills a pod many times, making refillable kits the cheapest option. Most vapers spend far less than they did on disposables or cigarettes.
20mg nic salt (the UK legal maximum) suits heavier smokers switching from cigarettes and is the strength the old disposables used. 10mg suits lighter smokers. You can step down over time as your cravings reduce.
The battery lasts for hundreds of charges — often a year or more — while capacity per fill depends on the kit. A big-puff kit rated at 30,000 puffs lasts roughly 10–11 weeks at average use, whereas a 2ml prefilled pod is similar to a 600-puff disposable.
Prefilled (closed) pods are sealed and designed to be replaced, not refilled. If you want to refill your own e-liquid, choose a refillable pod kit and add 10ml nic salts. Many vapers own both types.
A burnt taste means the coil's wick has dried out. Prime new pods by leaving them filled for a few minutes before vaping, keep the pod topped up, and avoid chain-vaping. Once a coil is burnt it can't be fixed — replace the pod or coil.
Yes — every vape kit we sell is 100% authentic UK stock, sourced through official distributors, TPD-compliant and age-verified at checkout. We never sell counterfeit or non-compliant devices.
Yes — UK delivery is free on all orders over £25, with same-day dispatch on orders placed before 4pm on working days, sent in plain, discreet packaging with tracking.
Big-puff kits last longest per fill — models rated at 30,000–50,000 puffs can last several weeks to a few months of regular use. For battery longevity, refillable kits with larger mAh cells and replaceable coils also last a very long time.
Yes, as long as they are rechargeable with a replaceable or refillable pod. It was single-use disposables that were banned in June 2025 — high-capacity rechargeable pod kits remain fully legal and TPD-compliant.
MTL (mouth-to-lung) kits give a tight, cigarette-like draw with high-strength nic salts and suit most ex-smokers. DTL (direct-to-lung) sub-ohm kits produce big clouds using low-strength shortfills and suit experienced vapers. See our MTL vs DTL guide.
