Disposable vapes have had their moment in the spotlight. They're simple, portable, and perfect for beginners who want a no-fuss way to vape. But as convenient as they are, the truth is they're quickly falling out of favour – and for good reason.
Whether it’s rising costs, environmental concerns or looming UK regulations, the tide is turning. More and more vapers are starting to realise that refillable vape kits offer a smarter, more sustainable way to get their nicotine hit – without sacrificing the ease they’ve come to expect from disposables.
In this article, we’ll explore why now is the perfect time to make the switch, and which vape kits offer the best balance of convenience, savings and satisfaction.
Why Disposables Are No Longer an Option
At first glance, disposable vapes seem like the ideal solution. There’s no charging, no refilling, and no buttons to figure out. You just open the pack and inhale – job done. But this short-term simplicity comes at a long-term cost.
Let’s talk money. If you’re going through a disposable every day or two, you're easily spending upwards of £100 a month. That’s quite a price to pay for something you use once and throw away. By comparison, a refillable pod kit costs a bit more upfront, but your ongoing spend drops significantly – often to under £30 a month.
Then there's the environmental impact. Every disposable contains a lithium battery, a plastic shell, and internal components that are rarely recycled. Multiply that by millions of users and you’ve got a growing mountain of unnecessary waste.
All things considered, it’s no longer just about preference – switching to a reusable option is becoming a necessity.
Refillable Vape Kits: Not as Complicated as You Think
If the idea of switching from disposables to something refillable sounds like a hassle, don’t worry – today’s devices are designed with simplicity in mind. The latest pod kits offer a smooth transition with features that mimic everything people love about disposables.
Most refillable systems now use auto-draw technology, meaning you still get that intuitive inhale-to-activate sensation. Pods are magnetically attached and simple to refill, usually via a top or side port that’s leak-resistant and mess-free. USB-C charging means quicker top-ups and longer battery life – so you’re not left scrambling for a backup every few hours.
In short, you get all the ease of a disposable with added flexibility, better performance, and major savings.
The Best Refillable Kits for Disposable Users
At Superior Vapour, we stock a carefully curated range of refillable vape kits that are perfect for anyone ready to leave disposables behind. These devices are compact, user-friendly, and designed for the same mouth-to-lung style of vaping most disposable fans prefer.
The Caliburn G3 Pro KOKO by Uwell is a standout choice. Its slim, card-style design slips easily into your pocket, and it offers a tight draw with smooth nicotine delivery – very similar to what you’d expect from a disposable. It’s buttonless, effortless to use, and built to last.
Another great pick is the Centaurus E40 Max Pod Kit by Lost Vape. While slightly more advanced, it still caters to beginners with its intuitive design and adjustable wattage. It’s a great step up if you’re looking to customise your vape a bit more as you gain confidence.
If simplicity is your top priority, the Oxva Xlim SE 2 Pod Kit is worth a look. It features an easy auto-draw system, refillable pods, and strong flavour output, making it a reliable companion for day-to-day vaping. Similarly, the Vaporesso XROS 3 Mini offers excellent battery life, compact portability, and consistently smooth performance in a sleek, minimalist design.
Each of these kits offers that grab-and-go experience you’re used to, but with less waste, better flavour, and far more value.
Making the Switch: What You Need to Know
Transitioning to a refillable system might seem daunting at first, but most users find it surprisingly straightforward. The key is choosing the right e-liquid – if you’re coming from 20mg disposable salts, stick to similar strength nicotine salt e-liquids to start with. These deliver a smooth throat hit and quick nicotine absorption, just like disposables.
When you fill your pod for the first time, give it a few minutes to soak in – this helps prevent dry hits and extends coil life. You’ll also want to get into the habit of topping up the battery every couple of days (a full charge usually lasts all day), and swapping pods every week or two, depending on usage.
Once you’ve got the basics down, you’ll likely wonder why you didn’t switch sooner.
