Are you new to vaping or just curious about the different options out there, vaping has exploded in popularity, offering a smoother, more customisable alternative to smoking. At Royal Vapery, we stock everything from beginner-friendly setups to advanced gear, and we’re here to break it down for you.
In this guide, we’ll explain the main types of vapes disposable, pod, pen, mod, and more so you can pick what suits your lifestyle. Whether you’re after something simple or want to dive deeper, we’ll spotlight why vape kits are the perfect beginners guide to vaping. Let’s get started!
What Makes Vapes Different?
Vapes, or electronic cigarettes, heat e-liquid to create vapour you inhale. They’re not all the same, though. The main differences come down to size, ease of use, battery life, and customisation. Disposable vapes are ready to go with no setup. Pods and pens offer portability with refill options. Mods give power users control over everything.
And vape kits? They’re the sweet spot for newcomers simple yet versatile. Understanding these types helps you avoid overwhelm. Think of it like choosing a car disposables are like a rental for a quick trip, while kits are your first reliable hatchback.
Disposable Vapes: Simple and Hassle-Free
Disposable vapes are the entry point for many. They’re small, prefilled, and ready to use straight out the box no charging, no refilling, no fuss.
Just unbox it, inhale, and puff away until it’s done usually 600–5000 puffs, depending on the model. Flavours range from fruity blasts to tobacco classics, with nicotine strengths from 0mg to 20mg.
Pros: Ultra portable, no maintenance, great for trying vaping or on the go use. At Royal Vapery, our top disposables like Elf Bar or Crystal Bar deliver consistent taste without commitment.
Cons: They’re single use, so not eco-friendly, and you can’t tweak settings. Perfect for absolute beginners testing the waters, but if you want something reusable, look elsewhere.
Pod Vapes: Compact and Beginner-Friendly
Pod vapes strike a balance between disposables and more advanced setups. They’re slim devices that use prefilled or refillable pods small cartridges of e-liquid that snap in easily. Popular brands like Juul or Vaporesso XROS make pods that last days or weeks. Most have draw-activation no buttons and built-in batteries that recharge via USB-C.
Pros: Discreet size fits in your pocket, simple to swap pods, and affordable. Nic salts in pods give a smooth throat hit, ideal for ex-smokers.
Cons: Pods can be pricey over time, and battery life is shorter than bigger devices. Pods are a step up from disposables, but for true beginners, we recommend Vape Kits at Royal Vapery they build on pod simplicity with more features.
Vape Pens: Everyday Reliability
Vape pens look like a sleek pen or cigalike long, cylindrical, and user-friendly. They’re a classic choice with a rechargeable battery and refillable tank. You fill the tank with e-liquid, prime the coil, and you’re vaping. Adjustable airflow lets you control vapour density.
Pros: Great battery life lasts a full day, versatile for mouth-to-lung (MTL) vaping like cigarettes, and budget-friendly long term.
Cons: Tanks can leak if not filled right, and they’re less powerful for big clouds. Pens suit intermediates who want reliability without bulk. At Royal Vapery, pens like the Innokin Endura are solid picks, but beginners might prefer kits for guided ease.
Vape Mods: Power for Enthusiasts
Mods are the heavy weights boxy devices with big batteries, powerful chips, and endless tweaks. Sub-ohm mods blast huge clouds; regulated mods offer safety features like wattage control. Pair them with rebuildable atomisers RDAS or tanks for custom coils and e-liquids.
Pros: Ultimate customisation adjust power, temperature, even bypass modes for direct battery output. Cloud chasers love them.
Cons: Steep learning curve, bulky, and pricey starters from £50 plus. Not for newbies safety risks if mishandled. Mods are for experienced vapers. If you’re starting out, skip these and grab a vape kit from Royal Vapery instead.
Vape Kits: Your Beginners Guide to Vaping
Now, the star of the show: vape kits. These all in one packages include a mod, tank, coil, and sometimes e-liquid everything bundled for seamless setup.
Beginner kits like the GeekVape Aegis Solo or Vaporesso Luxe are draw-activated with safety features: auto-draw, adjustable wattage up to 60W, and leak-proof tanks.
Why kits rock for beginners:
