What Are the Best Cheap Vape Kits? (£10 to £25 Budget)

You’re here because you’re looking for cheap vape kits. Maybe you’re frustrated with scrolling through endless budget-friendly vapes without knowing which ones are creaky plastic trash and which are hidden diamonds in the coal bin. Good news, though. Today, you’ll get a good look at the best cheap vape kits on the market.

Let’s clear something first. “Cheap” is not a dirty word in vaping. It means affordable, approachable, and replaceable. In fact, I’ve used cheap vape kits that blew £80 mods out of the water.

Uwell Caliburn G3 Lite

You can’t go wrong with the Caliburn G3 Lite for great-tasting simplicity.
Price: £9.99

Why We Recommend It

  • Caliburn G3 pods use the Pro-FOCS design for maximum flavour
  • Pod ohmages ranging between 0.6ohms and 1.2ohms
  • Surprisingly chunky 1200mAh battery

Bad-tasting vapour won’t keep you away from cigarettes, so Uwell’s Caliburn G3 Lite strives to deliver insane flavour despite the low price point. And, having tried every Caliburn ever released, I can say they did a great job here.

This is because of the Pro-FOCS design that Uwell uses on all its Caliburn coils. The heat elements and wicks last longer without rotting, which means richer tastes for you and me. Being a cheap kit, there aren’t any crazy features to be confused by, which is nice for satisfying basic vaping needs.

Pros

  • Great-tasting pods
  • Long-lasting battery
  • Super-fast 2A charge speeds

Cons

  • Plain and dull design
  • Buttonless and draw-only

Vaporesso Deliciu Mate

A fantastic first vape, particularly for those quitting disposables.
Price: £10.49

Why We Recommend It

  • Start with prefilled pods, then move on to XROS pods
  • Simple slab design that’s easy to use
  • The Deliciu prefilled pods are delicious

I was initially surprised by Vaporesso’s choice to release a prefilled pod kit, but when I got my hands on a Deliciu unit and realised it’s basically an XROS vape kit, it all made sense.

Normally, prefilled comes at a premium—you always pay for convenience, after all. However, Vaporesso has kept the Deliciu kit and pods affordable. It makes sense; it’s a fantastic first vape, particularly for those quitting disposables. And when you’re ready to dip your toe into refilling, you’ll find that XROS pods are compatible.

So, with the Vaporesso Deliciu, you get cheap vape kits that start off delivering prefilled simplicity and then evolve into refillable kits whenever you’re ready to take that step. After that point, you may wish to invest in a slightly more advanced device with some extra features.

Pros

  • Perfect for coming off disposables
  • Fast draw-activation
  • Compatible with XROS pods

Cons

  • Zero customisation
  • The vape is a bit plain, visually

Innokin Trine SE

A refillable pod vape with a replaceable battery!
Price: £12.99

Why We Recommend It

  • You can remove and replace the battery! On a refillable POD KIT!
  • Spare batteries are cheap and easy to travel with
  • Impressive 25W max output

Oh no, you forgot to charge your vape this morning! Oh No, there’s no plug nearby! OH NO, it turns out the battery died completely! Time to buy a new vape.

Or… is it?

The Innokin Trine SE might not look too fancy (gorgeous art pattern aside). Sure, you can’t adjust the power, and there aren’t any extra user modes. But you know what you can do with it? You can pull the 1000mAh battery out entirely and REPLACE IT with another pre-charged one!

No other MTL pod kit series has ever provided removable battery functions, which add years of life to your device. With spare batteries priced cheaply and easily carried alongside the Trine SE device, this cheap vape eliminates MTL charging woes outright.

Pros

  • Swappable, replaceable batteries
  • A vape that lasts as long as new batteries are being produced
  • Surprisingly high max output

Cons

  • No thrills, simple device
  • No ability to manually set the power range

Uwell Caliburn GK3

This kit focuses on outputs.
Price: £20.99

Why We Recommend It

  • Powerful outputs for a cheap vape kit
  • The LCD screen won’t drain the battery
  • Very travel-friendly design

If there’s something that annoys me about kits sometimes, it’s overly detailed display screens. I’m fond of calling them ‘superfluous’. So I was over the moon when I took in the raw, unfiltered CASIO vibes of the Caliburn GK3’s LCD screen. And I was even more impressed when I saw the 25W max output.

The build, screen, and power output tell me something: this kit focuses on outputs. Other aspects of the device have not been ignored per se but rather prioritised after the portable kit’s cloud production capabilities. So, for a cheap, no-fuss, and very demure kit with some good plume potential, you’ll love the GK3 pod kit.

Pros

  • Great cloud production from the G3 pods
  • Extremely pocketable
  • Funky retro-futuristic design

Cons

  • The hard angular design is uncomfortable
  • Small enough to lose easily

Vaporesso XROS 4 Nano

The XROS 4 Nano might be small, but Vaporesso wasn’t messing around when they put this thing together.
Price: £23.99

Why We Recommend It

  • Very compact design but with 1350mah battery
  • Smooth and responsive draw activation
  • Versatile power settings

The XROS 4 Nano is the most expensive kit in our review, but if you can stretch out your budget, you won’t be disappointed.

Yes, it is small, but don’t let this Best Refillable Pod Vape and Best MTL Kit MIST Vape Award Winner 2024 fool you because the battery life is ridiculous.

In our XROS 4 Nano review, we were able to squeeze days of use if this small vape if kept in a reasonable wattage output range. Even when it runs low, you’re back to 80% in 20 minutes.

The build is solid, and that 1.3-inch screen? Easily one of the best I’ve seen on a pod kit—bright, sharp, and actually useful.

Stick with the higher-resistance pods, and you get three dead-simple power modes. Slot in a 0.4Ω pod, and suddenly you’ve got full wattage control up to 30W. Flavour? As good as expected from the XROS pods—smooth, consistent, and backed by Vaporesso’s COREX 2.0 coil tech.

If there’s a downside, it’s that the menu system can be a bit fiddly at first. Not a dealbreaker, just something to get used to.

Pros

  • Power and eco modes
  • Bright and sharp 1.3” screen
  • Has a larger batter than the G3 Lite (it has 1350mAh versus G3 Lite’s 1200mAh)
  • Pocket-friendly design

Cons

  • Menu navigation can be tricky at first
  • Need to close the airflow to get more flavour
