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.
The 5 Best Cheap Vapes are:
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
Lost Vape Ursa Epoch Pro
A fun, portable kit with a lot of personality and a very decent 35W max output
Price: £14.99

Why We Recommend It
- Unique, playful design that stands out from boring budget options
- Impressive 35W power output despite its compact size and low price
- Swappable silicone wrappings let you customize comfort and style
Cheap doesn’t mean boring! Just take a look at the Lost Vape Ursa Epoch Pro. Somewhat outside of Lost Vape’s usual wheelhouse, the Ursa Epoch Pro comes in a cute and fun lozenge shape with comfort provided by the swappable silicone wrappings you can place it in. It may be a simple device, but it boasts a 1400mAh battery and a gorgeous 1.3” TFT screen.
And despite the small size and price, the kit can manage impressive outputs of up to 35W, with great-tasting flavour delivered by the URSA cartridges. Too many vapers feel that a budget vape has to be simple and dull, and I’m glad Lost Vape are showing people how wrong that is!
Pros
- Gorgeous 1.3″ TFT screen on a budget device
- Solid 1400mAh battery for all-day vaping
- URSA cartridges deliver surprisingly great flavour
Cons
- Colourful wrappings might not be to everyone’s taste
- Outside Lost Vape’s usual style, so existing fans may find it jarring
- Cartridge availability may vary compared to more mainstream brands
OXVA NeXLIM Go
A stripped-down version of the NeXLIM that improves on the original in several ways
Price: £14.99

Why We Recommend It
- Bigger 1800mAh battery means less frequent charging
- Physical Boost/Eco switch is faster and easier than menu navigation
- Lighter build makes it more comfortable for all-day carry
The NeXLIM GO is a very rare thing; a stripped-down and cheaper version of an original kit (in this case, the NeXLIM) that in my view actually improves on the design in almost every way! The battery increase from 1500mAh to 1800mAh gives you a noticeably longer gap between recharges, and the mostly-plastic build results in a lighter carry weight.
OXVA even went so far as to ensure that the Boost/Eco Mode switch feature was retained despite the lack of an interface! Instead of navigating a menu, you just flip the switch on the side of the kit for instant power changes!
Overall, I found myself using my NeXLIM GO far more than I did my NeXLIM, and that’s because often simple really is better.

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
Aspire Gotek X3
An almost entirely plastic kit with lightweight portability and translucent casings that’ll hit you right in the nostalgia.
Price: £11.49

Why We Recommend It
- Ultra-lightweight plastic construction makes it perfect for no-fuss carrying
- Stunning translucent designs evoke beloved late 90s/early 00s tech aesthetics
- Reliable rechargeable alternative to disposables at a fraction of the cost
Aspire’s Gotek X3 is a bold experiment to provide a reliable rechargeable vape at low cost through the use of an almost entirely plastic construction. The resulting device may have confused people in a world that hadn’t been utterly enthralled by disposable vapes until recently, but in this world of ours the Gotek X3’s snug and lightweight build has been gladly embraced by those who like a no-fuss, no-thrills rechargeable kit.
And on a personal note, I think the translucent coloured casings of the Gotek X3 are some of the most gorgeous designs in vaping, highly reminiscent of home computer and console designs in the late 90’s and early 00’s. The adults using vapes today remember those designs very fondly, before everything went brushed-steel and sterile. So grab a Gotek X3 for an affordable hit of both nostalgia and nic satisfaction.
Pros
- Incredibly light and comfortable to carry all day
- Translucent casings are absolutely gorgeous and nostalgic
- No-thrills simplicity appeals to ex-disposable users
Cons
- All-plastic build lacks the premium feel of metal devices
- Simple design means fewer features for tech-focused vapers
- May not appeal to those who prefer sleek, modern aesthetics
