What exactly is included in an E-Cigarette Starter Set? 📦
An E-Cigarette Starter Set, also called a Vape Kit, is an all-in-one package designed to get you started quickly. Most kits include the essential hardware you need for your first setup.
✔️ Standard contents
- 🔋 Battery device: The powered body of the vape.
- 💧 Tank or pod: The part that holds the liquid.
- ⚙️ Coil(s): Usually 1-2 heating elements are included.
- 🔌 Charging cable: Often USB-C.
- 🛠️ Accessories: Spare seals or small replacement parts.
- 📖 User manual: Setup and usage instructions.
💡 Tip: Always check the product description of the kit on our website, because the exact box contents are listed there in detail.
What do I need to buy in addition to the Starter Set? 🛒
The one thing you definitely need is E-Liquid. Without liquid, even the best Vape Kit cannot be used. Depending on the starter set you choose, a few extra items may also be useful.
🛒 Essential add-on
- 🍓 E-Liquid: Choose the flavour and nicotine strength that match your setup.
⚡ Sometimes required
- 🔋 External batteries: Check the product page if your mod uses them.
💡 Useful extras
- ⚙️ Replacement coils: Coils usually last around 1-3 weeks.
- 🧩 Replacement pods: Very practical for pod systems.
- 🔌 External charger: Recommended when using external batteries.
- 👜 Vape case: Handy for transport and storage.
💡 Smart tip: Order your first liquid and spare coils or pods together with your starter set so you are fully prepared from day one.
How do I set up my new Starter Set correctly? 🚀
The first setup of your E-Cigarette Starter Set is important for a smooth vaping experience. Follow these steps to avoid a dry hit and help your coil last longer:
- 🔋 Charge the battery: Fully charge the device or batteries before first use.
- 💧 Prime the coil: Add 2-3 drops of your E-Liquid directly onto the visible cotton of the new coil.
- ⚙️ Install the coil / fill the tank: Insert the coil if it is not pre-installed, then fill the pod or tank carefully.
- ⏳ Wait 5-10 minutes: Let the filled device stand upright so the cotton can absorb liquid properly.
- ⚙️ Check your settings: If the kit is adjustable, start at the lowest recommended wattage shown on the coil.
- 💨 Take your first puff: Draw slowly and gently. If your device has a fire button, press it only while inhaling.
💡 Remember: Priming the coil and waiting after filling are the two most important steps for avoiding burnt taste and extending coil life.
Which Starter Set is best for beginners or for quitting smoking? 🔰🚭
For most beginners and switchers, the best E-Cigarette Starter Sets are simple, compact, and designed for an MTL draw that feels closer to a traditional cigarette.
Best features for first-time users
- ✓ Easy operation: Minimal settings
- ✓ Pod system: Easy filling and easy coil or pod changes
- ✓ Draw activation: Natural for ex-smokers
- ✓ MTL draw: Familiar inhale style
- ✓ Nicotine salts: Often smoother and satisfying for switchers
Popular beginner-friendly options
💡 Beginner tip: If your goal is to stop smoking, start with an easy MTL pod kit and the right nicotine strength rather than a powerful DL setup.
MTL or DL Starter Set – which draw style is right for me? 😮💨
The choice between MTL (Mouth-to-Lung) and DL (Direct-Lung) changes the feel of the draw, the amount of vapour, and the type of liquid that works best.
🚬 MTL Sets
Feel: Similar to smoking a cigarette. Vapour is first held in the mouth before inhaling. The draw is tighter.
Best for: Switchers, discreet vaping, and higher nicotine strengths including nicotine salts.
Popular MTL kits:
☁️ DL Sets
Feel: A more open draw inhaled directly into the lungs, similar to shisha. Much more vapour.
Best for: Bigger clouds, stronger airflow, and lower nicotine strengths.
Popular DL kits:
💡 Tip: Many modern E-Cigarette Sets offer adjustable airflow, so you can fine-tune the draw between MTL and a more open restricted DL style.
What is the difference between a Pod Kit and a Box Kit? ↔️
These are two of the main families of E-Cigarette Starter Kits, and they are designed for different priorities.
Pod Kit
Smaller, lighter, and simpler. Great for discreet daily use and usually best for MTL vaping.
View our Pod KitsBox Kit
Larger, with better battery life and more settings. A good choice if you want more flexibility and room to grow.
View our Box MTL Kits💡 Beginner choice: Pick a Pod Kit if simplicity matters most. Choose a Box Kit if you want longer battery life and the option to adjust more settings later.
Which E-Liquid works best with my Starter Set? 💧
The right E-Liquid for your E-Cigarette Starter Kit depends mainly on the coil resistance and your preferred draw style.
💧 For MTL Kits (& coils > 1.0 Ohm)
MTL setups usually work best with liquids that offer a balanced throat hit and efficient nicotine delivery.
- ✓ 50% VG / 50% PG: The classic ratio for MTL vaping.
- ✓ Nicotine salt liquids: Smoother on the throat and often preferred by switchers.
Popular MTL liquids:
☁️ For DL Kits (<1.0 Ohm)
DL and sub-ohm setups usually perform better with thicker liquids that produce denser vapour.
- ✓ 70% VG / 30% PG (or higher VG): Standard for sub-ohm and DL vaping.
- ✓ Shortfills/Longfills: Larger bottles that can be mixed with nicotine shots.
Popular DL liquids:
Always follow the recommendations in the product description of your E-Cigarette Starter Set and coil.
💡 Flavour tip: Discover more than 2500 flavours in our Liquid Shop – sorted by flavour category.
What are the advantages of buying a Set instead of separate parts? 💡
An E-Cigarette Starter Set is usually the simplest and safest way to begin. Buying a complete kit reduces guesswork and ensures the device, tank, and coils are designed to work together.
Why sets are practical
- ✓ Better value: Often cheaper than buying each part separately
- ✓ Compatibility: Components are matched by the manufacturer
- ✓ Complete package: Most essentials are already in the box
- ✓ Faster setup: Less research, less risk of mistakes
- ✓ Balanced performance: Designed to work as one system
Where the savings come from
- • Device + tank: Usually more attractive in a bundle
- • Coils: Many starter sets include at least one spare
- • Accessories: Charging cable and spare parts are often included
- • Shipping: One order instead of several separate purchases
💡 Budget tip: If you are new to vaping, a complete starter set is nearly always the more efficient choice than building a setup from separate components.
How do I properly maintain my Starter Set? ⚡
Good maintenance helps your E-Cigarette Set last longer and keeps the flavour clean. Most routine care is simple and only takes a few minutes.
Regular maintenance routine
- ✓ Clean the tank: Rinse with warm water regularly
- ✓ Replace the coil: Usually every 1-3 weeks
- ✓ Take care of the battery: Charge regularly and avoid total depletion
- ✓ Clean contacts: Remove liquid residue gently
- ✓ Check seals: Replace O-rings if leaking starts

- • Coils: Roughly 1-3 weeks
- • Seals / O-rings: A few months depending on use
💡 Maintenance tip: Clean the tank when changing the coil and let all parts dry fully before reassembling the kit.
