Most people who try vaping quit within the first two weeks—not because it doesn’t work, but because they end up with a frustrating kit — leaky tanks, hard-to-find pods, weak batteries, or bland flavours, just to name a few.
The good news? The kits in this review make quitting smoking actually doable. They are easy to master, produce great flavours, and some come with slightly more advanced features, so you don’t have to upgrade anytime soon. Not sure if you are going to stick with vaping? We’ve also included an option that costs less than half a pack of cigarettes.

OXVA XLIM Go 2
Puff-it-and-forget-it simplicity wrapped in a battery that’ll last for days.
Why We Recommend It
- Auto-detects your pod and adjusts power instantly.
- Colour-changing logo tells you the battery status at a glance.
- Buttonless design removes all guesswork.
OXVA is fast becoming the go-to starter kit manufacturer in vaping, and it’s not a surprise why. Consider the XLIM Go 2 Pod Kit; the 1500mAh battery can last multiple days of use without charging, the pods are easy to find and easier to fill, and it keeps things simple.
No annoying screen to squint at; the kit sets the power automatically when it instantly detects your pod, and the logo on the front changes colour from green to blue to red to let you know how the charge is doing. There isn’t even a button! You just puff and XLIM Go~ (2).

Pros
- 1500mAh battery outlasts most competitors
- Pods are widely available and dead simple to fill.
- No button, no screen, no stress
Cons
- Lack of manual adjustment won’t suit control enthusiasts.
- The logo indicator isn’t as precise as a percentage display.
IVG Pro 12
All the convenience of a disposable without the guilt or the recurring expense
Why We Recommend It
- 12ml capacity means you’re not constantly swapping pods.
- IVG’s nic salts are reliably smooth and satisfying.
- Dramatically cheaper than your old disposable habit.
So, disposables are gone. They left in the summer and they ain’t coming back. But companies like IVG were ready with new kits intended for the disposable fans who weren’t ready for a refillable kit yet; the IVG Pro 12.
Just click the pod and ‘bottle’ together, drop it into the 1000mAh battery, and it’s ready to puff! 12mls of delicious 20mg IVG nic salts for you to enjoy. And the best part is that it’s not disposable; when the pod is drained, just recharge the device and buy a new pod! Believe me when I say this is a LOT cheaper than your disposable vape habit was!
Read our full review of the IVG Pro 12.
Pros
- The click-and-go system is faster than refilling.
- 1000mAh battery recharges quickly
- IVG flavour range is extensive and of high quality
Cons
- You’re locked into IVG’s flavour ecosystem.
- Prefilled pods cost more per ml than bottled e-liquid.
Vaporesso Deliciu Mate
Starts prefilled but secretly future-proofs you for refillable life
Why We Recommend It
- Compatible with XROS pods, opening up massive flavour flexibility.
- A prefilled pod means instant satisfaction out of the box.
- Transitions you from prefilled to refillable without buying new hardware.
Vaporesso’s Deliciu Mate Prefilled Pod Kit is a unique middle-ground between prefilled and refillable kits, because it’s both! The Deliciu Mate comes with a prefilled pod containing 2ml of 20mg nicotine salts. You just pop it into the 800mAh buttonless device and start puffing, then get new pods going ahead.
OR! Once you get the urge to try other flavours or strengths, simply acquire a Vaporesso XROS Pod, which is fully compatible with the Deliciu Mate, and fill it with whatever MTL vape juice you like! BAM! Suddenly, you’ve got a solid refillable vape kit on your hands! When did that happen!
Pros
- Dual compatibility is genuinely genius.
- An 800mAh battery is perfect for pocket carry
- Buttonless simplicity for day one users
Cons
- A smaller battery means daily charging for heavier users.
- Prefilled Deliciu pods have a limited flavour range.
OXVA Slimstick
Sleek as a designer pen but packs flavour like a full-size kit
Why We Recommend It
- A 1500mAh battery in a slim form factor is borderline witchcraft.
- Matte steel finish feels premium in hand.
- OXVA’s prefilled flavours punch well above their weight.
Leave it to OXVA to release one of the best prefilled pod kits of 2025. The Slimstick is a slightly different beast to the IVG Pro 12 and Vaporesso Deliciu Mate; the elegant matte steel casing of the buttonless device is chic, slim and comfortable.
But just pop one of the ‘cigalike’ pods into the 1500mAh (!!!) device to start enjoying some incredibly rich OXVA-made flavours. There’s nothing clunky or annoying about the OXVA Slimstick; it’s sleek, lightweight, solidly built, and remarkably cheap.Frankly, I think OXVA might be on the cusp of revolutionizing how we look at prefilled kits!
Read our full OXVA Slimstick review.
Pros
- Elegant design that doesn’t scream “vape.”
- Cigalike pods pop in satisfyingly.
- Battery life embarrasses most prefilled competitors
Cons
- Limited pod flavour selection compared to refillable options
Aspire Rover Plus
Perfect for when you’re ready to explore but not ready to dive off the deep end
Why We Recommend It
- 5-40W range handles beginner and intermediate vaping styles.
- Temperature control awaits when curiosity strikes.
- 2600mAh battery fuels all-day experimentation.
The Aspire Rover Plus Kit is a little more advanced than some of the other kits featured today. After all, I’m sure some of you will want to take the stabilizers off fairly soon!
The Rover Plus feels like Aspire took their classic Zelos 3 kit and shrunk it down while retaining all the useful features. Want a simple 5-40W kit for daily puffs and easy top-fill refills from the AF Tank? No problem! But when the day comes that you find out about RDAs and RTAs, and you want to experiment with temperature control?
That feature is ready and waiting for you, and the 2600mAh battery fuels plenty of experimentation!
Pros
- Compact but feature-rich
- AF Tank is leak-resistant and easy to refill
- Room to grow without being overwhelming now
Cons
- Slightly higher learning curve than pod systems
- More expensive upfront than simpler options
Vaporesso LUXE XR Max 2
Big clouds without the bulk or the PhD in vaping
Why We Recommend It
- 3200mAh battery delivers genuine all-day cloud production.
- 80W max lets you explore sub-ohm without expert-level gear.
- Satisfies the craving for something more substantial than MTL.
Here’s something a little special! While most people quit smoking with the use of MTL vapes that replicate the experience, some prefer a cloudier, more shisha-esque experience that you can’t get from cigarettes.
The Vaporesso LUXE XR Max 2 Kit lets you engage in big-cloud play without needing a bulky dual-battery mod; the 3200mAh battery is sizable enough to let you fully explore the 80W max output. And it’s just really lovely to be able to enjoy the cloudier style of sub-ohm vaping without needing an expert-level device!
Pros
- Sub-ohm power in a single-battery frame
- Gorgeous design that feels premium
- Suitable for cloud chasers who don’t want a brick
Cons
- Higher juice consumption means refilling more often.
- Not the right choice if you want cigarette-like discretion
