Refillable vape

Want to try different e-liquid flavours? Then, a refillable vape is right for you. These kits use refillable pod vapes so you can use your own e-liquid, giving you control over flavour and nicotine strength. And here at MIST, we've got devices from popular brands, including OXVA, Aspire, Voopoo, and Geekvape. Browse our refillable vapes collection and discover the convenience of using this type of vape.

 

What Is a Refillable Vape Kit?

A refillable vape kit is an electronic cigarette device designed to be filled withe-liquidby the user. Unlike disposable vapes which are thrown away once empty, refillable kits consist of a battery component and a refillable tank or pod. This allows you to choose from a vast array of e-liquid flavours and nicotine strengths, offering more customisation and generally being more cost-effective and environmentally friendly in the long run compared to single-use devices. They require minimal maintenance, primarily involving refilling the tank/pod and occasionallyreplacing the heating element (coil or pod).

Why Choose a Refillable Vape Kit Instead of a Disposable Vape?

Choosing a refillable vape kit offers several advantages over disposable vapes, especially for regular users:

• Wider Choice: You gain access to thousands of e-liquid flavours and various nicotine strengths (including nicotine-free options), far exceeding the limited range typically found in disposables. You can also choose between different e-liquid types likenicotine saltsor freebase nicotine.

• Cost-Effectiveness: While the initial purchase price of a refillable kit might be higher than a single disposable, the ongoing costs are significantly lower. Buying bottled e-liquid is much cheaper per puff than repeatedly buying disposable devices.

• Better Performance: Refillable kits often offer better vapour production, flavour intensity, and battery life compared to disposables. Many also allow for adjustments (like airflow) to tailor the experience.

• Environmental Impact: By reusing the main device and only replacing the e-liquid and occasionally a coil or pod, you significantlyreduce the amount of plastic and battery waste generated compared to using disposables.

• Customisation: Refillable kits come in various styles and offer different features, allowing you to find a device that perfectly suits your preferences fordraw style (tight like a cigarette or airy), size, and appearance.

What Are the Different Types of Refillable Vape Kits Available on This Page?

We offer several types of refillable vape kits to suit different preferences, primarily falling into these categories:

• Refillable Pod Vapes: These are typically compact, simple-to-use devices featuring a pod that clicks or slots into the battery section. The pod contains the coil and holds the e-liquid. They are often draw-activated (inhale to vape) and are ideal for beginners and those using higher-nicotine e-liquids like nicotine salts. Most are designed for Mouth-to-Lung (MTL) vaping.

• Refillable Vape Pens: Often cylindrical or pen-shaped, these kits usually consist of a battery and a separate, screw-on tank. They tend to be straightforward, often operated with a single button. Vape pens can be designed for either MTL or restricted Direct-to-Lung (DTL) vaping, offering a bit more power and battery life than some basic pod systems.

• Refillable MTL Kits: This category encompasses both pod vapes and vape pens specifically designed for Mouth-to-Lung (MTL) vaping. MTL vaping mimics the sensation of smoking a traditional cigarette, where you draw vapour into your mouth first, then inhale into your lungs. These kits use higher resistance coils, require less power, and work best with thinner e-liquids (like50/50 PG/VG) and higher nicotine strengths (including nic salts). They are highly recommended for beginners transitioning from smoking.

• Refillable Sub-Ohm Kits: These are more powerful devices designed forDirect-to-Lung (DTL) vaping, where you inhale vapour directly into your lungs. They use low-resistance coils (below 1.0 ohm), produce much larger clouds of vapour, and require thicker,higher-VG e-liquids, typically with lower nicotine strengths (0mg-6mg is common, though up to 20mg is legally allowed). Sub-ohm kits often offer more features like adjustable wattage and airflow, catering to users seeking maximum vapour and flavour intensity, but may have a slightly steeper learning curve than basic MTL kits.

Are These Refillable Vape Kits Compliant With UK Regulations?

Yes, absolutely. All vape kits, e-liquids, tanks, and pods sold by MIST comply with theUK's Tobacco and Related Products Regulations (TRPR), which incorporate the EU's Tobacco Products Directive (TPD).

This means:

• Age Restriction: We strictly enforce an 18+ age policy for all vape product purchases. Age verification checks are in place.

• Tank/Pod Capacity Limit: Refillable tanks and pods sold as part of a kit or separately have a maximum e-liquid capacity of 2ml.

• Nicotine Strength Limit: E-liquids containing nicotine are limited to a maximum strength of 20mg/ml (2%).

• Nicotine Bottle Size Limit: E-liquids containing nicotine are sold in bottles no larger than 10ml. (Larger nicotine-free 'shortfill' bottles are permitted, designed for users to add their own nicotine shots if desired, adhering to the final strength limit).

• Product Standards: All products meet required safety and quality standards, including emissions testing and ingredient notifications submitted to the relevant UK authorities (MHRA).

You can purchase from MIST with confidence, knowing all our refillable vape products meet these legal requirements for the UK market.

Which Type of Refillable Vape Is Best for Someone New to Vaping?

For most beginners, especially thosetransitioning from smoking traditional cigarettes, refillable MTL kits (which include many refillable pod vapes, refillable starter kits, and some refillable vape pens) are usually the best starting point.

Here's why:

• Familiar Draw: The Mouth-to-Lung (MTL) inhale closely mimics the sensation of smoking.

• Simplicity: Many MTL pod kits and vape pens are designed with ease-of-use in mind, often featuring single-button operation or draw-activation (no buttons needed).

• Nicotine Delivery: They work efficiently with higher nicotine strengths and nicotine salts, which can be helpful for managing cravings when switching from smoking. (Remember the UK limit is 20mg/ml).

• Discreet Vapour: They produce a moderate amount of vapour, similar to cigarette smoke, making them more discreet for public use.

• Lower E-liquid Consumption: MTL devices generally use less e-liquid than powerful sub-ohm kits.

While sub-ohm kits offer impressive vapour and flavour, the direct-lung inhale style and higher power can feel intense or unfamiliar for a complete beginner. Simple MTL pod vapes or vape pens provide an easier entry point into the world of refillable vaping.

What E-liquid Do I Need for My Refillable Vape?

Choosing the right e-liquiddepends largely on the type of refillable vape kit you select:

• For MTL Kits (Most Pod Vapes & Vape Pens): These kits work best with e-liquids that have a balanced or higher PG ratio, typically 50% VG / 50% PG liquids. You can also usenicotine salts (nic salts), which provide a smoother throat hit at higher nicotine strengths and are absorbed quickly, effectively satisfying cravings. Standard Freebase Nicotine e-liquids in a 50/50 ratio also work well. Due to UK TPD regulations, the maximum nicotine strength available is 20mg/ml (2%).

• For Sub-Ohm Kits (DTL Vaping): These more powerful kits require e-liquids with a higher VG content to handle the power and produce larger clouds. Look for liquids labelled70% VG / 30% PG or even higher VG ratios(sometimes called'Shortfills'which are nicotine-free but allow you to add anicotine shot).Due to the higher vapour production, most users prefer lower nicotine strengths in sub-ohm devices, typically 0mg, 3mg, or 6mg. Using high nicotine strengths (like 18mg or 20mg freebase) in a sub-ohm device can produce an uncomfortably harsh throat hit. While 20mg Nic Salts *can* be used in some lower-power sub-ohm setups, it's generally not recommended for high-power devices.

Summary Table:

Kit Type
Recommended E-Liquid Ratio
Recommended Nicotine Type
Typical Nicotine Strengths




MTL Kits
50VG/50PG or High PG
Freebase Nicotine, Nic Salts
6mg - 20mg


Sub-Ohm Kits
70VG/30PG or High VG
Freebase Nicotine
0mg - 6mg

Always check the product description or manufacturer's recommendations for your specific kit, but these guidelines cover most devices. Remember, all e-liquids sold in the UK must comply with TPD regulations, limiting bottle sizes containing nicotine to10mland nicotine strength to 20mg/ml.

What else do I need to buy to start vaping with a refillable kit?

When you purchase a refillable vape kit, it typically includes the device itself (battery section and tank/pod) and usually at least one coil or pod to get you started, plus a charging cable. However, the one essential item you must purchase separately is e-liquid.

• E-Liquid: This is the fluid that gets vaporised. Choose the flavour, nicotine strength, and PG/VG ratio appropriate for your chosen kit (see the previous FAQ). You cannot use the vape without it.

While not strictly needed for the *very first* vape, you will eventually need:

• Replacement Coils or Pods: The heating element (coil) inside the tank or podwears out over time(typically 1-2 weeks depending on usage) and needs replacing to maintain good flavour and vapour. It's wise to buy a pack ofreplacement coilsor replacementpodsalong with your initial kit purchase so you have them ready when needed.

So, to summarise, for your initial purchase to start vaping immediately, you absolutely need the refillable vape kit and at least one bottle of compatible e-liquid. Adding replacement coils/pods to your first order is recommended for convenience.
