We review a range of various vape devices to help you choose the best vaping device for your needs quickly and simply. From the basic e cigarette, the shisha pen or vape pen through to the more advanced vaporisers and vape mod and pod devices.
Vaping made simple!
There are two categories, pre-filled e cigarettes and open system devices. Open system vape devices require the user to fill their device with e liquid whereas pre-filled devices are ready to use.
For newer users, I would recommend using only the pre-filled options so that you avoid having to use e-liquids – an unnecessary additional step during your transition from smoking to vaping which can get a bit messy. There is more of an association with smaller “cigarette like” vape devices which has a familiar feel when first making the transition from smoking.

1. Pre-filled e-cigarettes
Best quality e-cigarette
I want something familiar, small, simple and straightforward & easy to use to quit smoking.
This is the most popular option!
Best quality e-cigarette – High tech
I want something that is familiar, simple and straightforward with a modern touch to quit smoking.
Next Generation vaping
I am an average 15-30 per day smoker and want to stop smoking. I want a modern vape device that allows me to be totally tobacco free, no tobacco based nicotine.
The device needs to be relatively small, easy to use and have sufficient battery power to last all day and night. It needs to be well made and fit for purpose …. and wont break if I drop it!.
Juul style slim vape pods
I am a light or social smoker but want to quit. I want something easy to use with prefilled pods and a modern touch. I need a simple “plug-and-play” vape device that is discreet and fits into my pocket or purse.
2. Open system vape devices
Modern tank system – also called the shisha pen or vape pen
I want something that is easy to use that is familiar, simple, straightforward and not too big with an open system so I can use any e-liquid to quit smoking.

Pod vape devices
I want a vape device with sub ohm functionality and the ability to vape both nic salts and e liquids which may contain high concentration of VG e liquid. I don not mind if it does not have the familiar cigarette feel or look.
3. Hi-tech vaporizers e-liquid, tobacco, dry herb & wax
E-liquid vaporizer with herb functionality
I want something small, simple and straight forward and want an open system to use any e-Liquid and also vape dry herb or loose leaf tobacco or wax oil occasionally.

A more dedicated herb vaporizer with e liquid functionality
I want a power vaporiser, but something simple and straight forward and want an open system to use any e-liquid. I also want to vape dry herb, wax or other material.
Advance Vape Pen producing maximum vapour – used by many simply for vaping their favourite e-Juice and other material without having to have more than one device.

4. Larger scale box mod device
I want something easy to use with e-liquid only but want the best regulated mod device with variable wattage, voltage or variable temperature. I would like to be able to exhale huge vapour clouds. I don’t mind if it is large or if there is more maintenance required.

Getting your nicotine hit
The box mod device obviously burns considerably higher rates of e-liquid than say a vape pen simply because they create more vapour. So much so that it is recommended that users only use lower level nicotine strength e liquids with the box mod for sub ohm vaping (typically 3-6 mg whereas generally with e cigarettes users are using 12-20 mg nicotine strength). You do not want a nicotine overdose!
