If you've been watching your wallet drain from constant disposable purchases, you're not alone. Across the UK, smart vapers are making the switch to refillable vape kits – and for good reason. These clever devices can slash your vaping costs by up to 75% while giving you access to thousands more flavours than any disposable ever could.
But here's the thing: with so many refillable vape kits flooding the UK market in 2025, finding the right one can feel overwhelming. That's where we come in. At Vapourse, we've been Manchester's trusted vape experts since 2019, helping thousands of customers find their perfect setup.
Whether you're a complete beginner ready to ditch disposables or an experienced vaper looking to upgrade, this comprehensive guide reveals everything you need to know about the best refillable vape kits available in the UK today.
Why UK Vapers Are Choosing Refillable Vape Kits in 2025
The Money-Saving Reality Check
Let's talk numbers that'll make your wallet smile. A typical UK vaper spending £6 daily on disposables racks up over £2,000 annually. Switch to a quality refillable vape kit, and that same vaping habit costs just £400-500 per year. We're talking about genuine savings of £1,500+ – enough for a proper holiday!
Here's how the maths works:
- Refillable kit: £20-50 (one-time purchase)
- Weekly e-liquid: £5-8 (versus £42 on disposables)
- Monthly coil replacement: £8-12 (versus £180 on disposables)
The break-even point? Most of our customers start saving money within just 2-3 weeks.
Flavour Freedom That Disposables Can't Match
Remember being stuck with whatever flavours the corner shop had in stock? Those days are over. With refillable vape kits, you've got access to our complete [Link to E-Liquids Collection] featuring over 1,000 premium flavours from top UK and international brands.
Want to start your morning with zesty lemon sherbet, switch to creamy vanilla custard for lunch, then wind down with rich tobacco? No problem. Fancy mixing your own unique blends? Go for it. This level of customisation simply isn't possible with disposable vapes.
Environmental Impact You Can Feel Good About
Every disposable vape contains a lithium battery, plastic housing, and metal components – all heading straight to UK landfills. By choosing refillable systems, you're reducing your vaping waste by over 90%. It's a simple switch that makes a real difference to our planet's future.
How to Choose the Perfect Refillable Vape Kit for Your Needs
Understanding Your Vaping Style
Mouth-to-Lung (MTL) Vapers: If you prefer a cigarette-like experience with a tight draw, you'll want:
- Higher resistance coils (1.0Ω and above)
- Lower wattage devices (10-20W)
- Smaller, more discreet designs
- Compatible with nicotine salt e-liquids
Direct-to-Lung (DTL) Vapers: For those who enjoy larger clouds and intense flavours:
- Lower resistance coils (0.2-0.8Ω)
- Higher wattage capabilities (30W+)
- Larger tank capacity
- Works best with freebase nicotine e-liquids
Versatile Users: Many modern kits offer both MTL and DTL options, perfect if you're unsure or like to switch between styles.
Key Features That Matter Most
Battery Life: Look for at least 1000mAh capacity if you vape regularly. Heavy users should consider 2000mAh+ devices or removable battery systems.
Tank Capacity: UK TPD regulations limit tanks to 2ml, but smart designs maximise this space while ensuring easy, leak-free refilling.
Build Quality: Invest in reputable brands known for durability. A well-made kit will serve you reliably for months, even years.
Coil Availability: Always check that replacement coils are readily available and reasonably priced. There's nothing worse than loving a device but struggling to find compatible coils.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do refillable vape kits typically last?
Quality refillable kits can last 6-12 months with proper care, and many last even longer. The main components requiring regular replacement are coils (weekly to monthly) and batteries (after 6-12 months of heavy use).
Can I use any e-liquid in my refillable kit?
Most refillable kits work with standard UK-compliant e-liquids, but always check your device specifications. MTL devices work best with higher nicotine strengths and 50/50 PG/VG ratios, while DTL devices prefer lower nicotine with higher VG ratios.
Are refillable vape kits difficult to maintain?
Modern refillable kits are designed for simplicity. Basic maintenance involves weekly cleaning and periodic coil replacement – skills most users master within days. Our team provides free setup and training to ensure you're confident from day one.
What's the real cost difference between disposables and refillables?
A typical disposable user spending £40 weekly will spend over £2,000 annually. The same vaping habit with refillables costs £400-600 yearly, including device, e-liquids, and coil replacements – genuine savings of £1,400+ per year.
Ready to Make the Switch? Your Perfect Kit Awaits
The evidence is clear: refillable vape kits offer superior value, incredible flavour variety, and environmental benefits that disposables simply can't match. Whether you're motivated by cost savings, flavour exploration, or environmental consciousness, there's never been a better time to upgrade.
At Vapourse, we've guided thousands of UK vapers through this transition successfully. Our carefully curated selection includes only the most reliable, well-supported devices from trusted manufacturers.
