What is a Starter Vape Kit?
As the types of vapes on offer have diversified over the years, it has become more challenging to define exactly what a vape starter kit actually is. Starter kits are similar to disposables, pen style kits, pod kits, and advanced kits. So, you can often find ‘starter kits’ in all these categories.
But the real beauty of a starter kit lies not just in its simplicity or accessibility for newcomers, but in its unique position as a gateway device to the wider world of vaping. With a good starter kit, a total newbie to vaping can become familiar and comfortable with the essential ideas and components of vaping. From there they can proceed to experiment with different e-liquids and flavours, and progress to different coils or pods. Basically, starter kits can deliver the whole thrilling vaping journey with just one versatile - and simple - device.
These kits typically include all the essential components needed for a vaping setup - a battery, a tank or pod to hold the e-liquid, and a charging mechanism. Starter kits are engineered to be user-friendly, without the complexity often associated with more advanced vape kits. With features like pre-set power levels, easy-to-fill tanks and pods, and intuitive controls (if any!), starter vape kits are the perfect choice for those taking their first step into vaping.
How to Choose a Starter Vape Kit
Choosing the right starter kit from our many options at Vapestore can be difficult, especially for those new to e-cigarettes. Here are some key factors to consider when choosing a starter vape kit:
1. Ease of Use:
For beginners, the simplicity of operation is paramount. Look for kits with straightforward functionality, such as simple button operations or auto inhale-activated features. Avoid overly complex systems with advanced settings that can be daunting for first-time users.
2. Size and Portability:
Consider how and where you plan to use your vape. If you’re always on the move, a compact and lightweight kit might be ideal. Alternatively, if you primarily vape to relax at home, size may be less of a concern, and you might prefer a kit with a larger battery capacity and a few more features that offer another level of control.
3. Battery Life:
The battery life of a vape kit determines how often you need to recharge it. If you’re a frequent vaper, opt for a kit with a larger battery to ensure it lasts throughout the day. For casual vapers, a smaller battery might suffice. You’ll see battery capacity measured in ‘mAh’: milliamps per hour. A single-use, all-in-one disposable vape may have an internal battery of 350mAh, while a full-featured advanced vape kit may offer a capacity upwards of 2000mAh provided by external batteries. Starter vape kits typically sit somewhere in the middle, providing enough juice to see you through a day of vaping.
4. E-Liquid Capacity:
The tank or pod’s capacity dictates how often you need to refill it. Larger tanks are convenient as they require less frequent refills, but they also make the device bigger. Smaller tanks offer a more compact size but may need more regular refilling.
That said, TPD regulations enforce a standard 2ml maximum limit on vape products sold in the UK and EU, so most customers in those regions will find tanks and pods built for that capacity only.
5. Nicotine Strengths and Flavour Options:
Ensure your starter kit is compatible with a range of e-liquids, allowing you to experiment with different flavours and nicotine strengths. This flexibility is essential as your preferences might evolve over time and a good starter kit should limit the need to frequently upgrade your device – unless you discover that you enjoy grabbing the latest shiny new bit of vape hardware!
6. Price:
Starter kits are available in various price ranges. Set a budget for yourself but also consider the value – sometimes, spending a little more upfront can save you money in the long run due to better quality and durability.
By keeping these factors in mind, you can find a starter vape kit that not only meets your current needs but also offers room to grow as you become more accustomed to vaping. Remember, the best vape kits are ones that makes your transition to vaping as enjoyable and hassle-free as possible.
If you need any further advice or recommendations, our friendly Customer Service Team are always available to help you decide upon the ideal kit for you.
