What Are Vape Kit Bundles and Are They a Good Starting Point?
Vape kit bundles are special packages we put together that typically include a primary vape device (like a vape pen, pod system, or vape mods and batteries) along with essential accompanying items. This might include a compatible tank or pods, and sometimes spare coils or charging cables. Occasionally, a bundle might even include e-liquid, but always check the specific bundle description to see exactly what's included.
Are they a good starting point for beginners?
Often, yes! Vape kit bundles can be an excellent choice for several reasons, especially for those new to vaping:
- Simplicity: Bundles often feature user-friendly devices specifically chosen for ease of use, making them ideal for beginners who might feel overwhelmed by choices. Look for bundles described as "starter kits" or check out our guide to vape starter kits.
- Compatibility Assured: The components within a bundle are selected to work well together, removing the guesswork of matching tanks, coils, and devices.
- Value for Money: Bundles usually offer a cost saving compared to purchasing each item individually, allowing you to get set up without a large initial outlay.
- Convenience: They provide a convenient "all-in-one" (or nearly all-in-one) solution to get you started quickly.
Things to consider:
- Check the contents: Ensure you know exactly what's included. You may still need to purchase e-liquid or, for some advanced kits, external batteries separately.
- Device Type: Bundles can feature different types of devices. For absolute beginners, bundles with simple pod systems or pen-style kits are generally the easiest to start with.
Overall, vape kit bundles offer a curated, cost-effective, and convenient way to begin your vaping journey or upgrade your existing setup.
Will I Need Anything Else Besides What’s in the Deal? (e.g., Nicotine Shots)
Whether you need additional items depends on the specific deal you choose. Here's a general guide:
For E-Liquid Multi-Buy Deals:
- 10ml E-Liquid Deals (e.g., 3 for £X, 4 for £Y): Generally, no. These e-liquids come pre-mixed with nicotine (unless you choose 0mg) and are ready to vape straight away. You just need your vape device.
- Shortfill E-Liquid Deals (e.g., 100ml Shortfill deals): Yes, almost certainly. Shortfills contain 0mg (nicotine-free) e-liquid. If you want nicotine in your vape, you must purchase Nicotine Shots separately and add them to the shortfill bottle. The number of nic shots needed depends on the shortfill volume and your desired final strength (e.g., one 18mg 10ml nic shot added to a 50ml shortfill creates 60ml of 3mg e-liquid).
For Vape Kit Bundles:
Check the bundle description very carefully. What's included can vary.
- E-Liquid: Most vape kit bundles do not include e-liquid. You will likely need to purchase this separately - consider our 10ml or shortfill multi-buy deals!
- Coils: Bundles typically include one or two coils to get you started. However, coils are consumable items that need replacing regularly (every 1-2 weeks on average, depending on usage - see our guide on replacing vape coils regularly). It's wise to buy spare coils suitable for the kit at the same time.
- Batteries: Many starter kits and pod systems have built-in batteries that are rechargeable via USB (cable usually included). However, some more advanced kits require external batteries (like 18650s), which are sold separately. If your chosen kit bundle needs external batteries, you will also need an external battery charger, which is also usually sold separately. The product description will state if batteries are built-in or required separately.
