What Vape Kit To Use When Quitting Smoking
You may have decided that for the new year ahead, you're going to quit smoking and start vaping. But you may be unsure where to start when it comes to choosing the right vape kit for you to use in a bid to be successful in quitting smoking once and for all.
As part of our New Year New You campaign, we're writing a series of helpful blogs to guide you through the processes involved in quitting smoking and getting started on the right track.
In this blog, we're going to explain everything you need to know about vape kits! Understanding what a vape kit does, and what the right one for you would be to successfully transition away from smoking can seem confusing and a little daunting when first starting out, but fear not, that's what we're here to help with! Join us as we explain everything you need to know about vape kits, and how to choose the perfect vape kit companion for your quitting journey.
Understanding How A Vape Can Help You Quit
Vaping has been proven to be the more effective tool to help people quit according to recent studies conducted and published by the Cochrane Review.
A group of people were gathered and given various different forms of nicotine replacement therapy to aid them in quitting, and these ranged from e-cigarettes with nicotine vape juice and nicotine free vape juice as well as more traditional NRT methods such as nicotine patches or nicotine gum.
And it came as no surprise that those who used a vape device with nicotine vape juice were the most successful in quitting and most likely to continue to abstain from smoking for 6 months or more. This is because an e-cigarette can almost essentially give you the same effects as what smoking does, just without the thousands of chemicals which are found in cigarette smoke, with a notable amount being proven to be toxic.
Vaping essentially mimics the effects of smoking, the inhaling and exhaling of vapour instead of smoke, the throat hit from the nicotine content of your vape juice as well as the propylene glycol that's used as the base mix, and having something to hold in your hand to perform the hand to mouth action. It's all subconscious effects that can "trick" your brain into thinking you're getting the same thing as you previously were from smoking. Small changes can make a big difference when it comes to quitting smoking and starting to vape!
What To Look For In A Vape Kit To Help You Quit
It goes without saying that when you're looking for your first vape kit to help you quit, you're going to want to pick one that will provide a smooth transition away from smoking tobacco products. Your first vape kit doesn't need to be anything overly complex, nor does it need to be the shiniest and fanciest vape kit, you can save those kind of vape kits for later down the line when you're more settled in with vaping. You could even look at choosing one as a reward to yourself when you reach a certain target or goal you set yourself on your quitting journey!
Below are some key criteria points that you need to consider when choosing your first vape kit, and we'll explain them in detail of how they can help you make a concious choice when it comes to pick your vape kit companion!
Fits Your Budget - It's a well known fact that vaping is considerably cheaper than smoking, and the upkeep of any vape kit is a fraction of the cost of what the cost of regularly smoking tobacco products would be.
Your initial outlay to get set up with a vape kit will always be the most expensive part, because you're going to need to get everything needed to get you started but this isn't going to cost a fortune. Simply find a vape kit that does the job and fits in your budget, don't go all out and get something super expensive for your first kit. We have some great options available here at LiQuid which are budget friendly and we highlight a few of them in the next section of this blog.
Simple And Easy To Use - This one is pretty important, and ties in with what we said above about not choosing an overly complex and feature packed vape kit as your first kit. Aim to choose a vape kit that does all the work for you, and by that we mean one that you don't have to change the wattage settings or anything like that on as this can be confusing for any new vaper (and sometimes even a seasoned vaper like me who's been vaping for over 7 years!)
A lot of vape kits today will automatically set the wattage output based on which coil is being used in either the vape pod or vape tank, and some are even inhale activated, meaning you don't even have to worry about pressing any buttons, it couldn't be easier!
Capable Of Mouth-To-Lung Vaping - This is arguably the most important box that needs ticking when choosing your vape kit to help you quit, and that's finding and choosing a vape kit which is capable of doing mouth to lung (MTL) vaping.
The reason for this is because it will mimic the same effects you'd previously got from smoking, you'll inhale, the vapour will hit the back of your throat, and you'll exhale a subtle amount of vapour similar to the amount of smoke a cigarette produces. You'll want to look for devices that use coils with a high ohm resistance such as 1.0ohm or higher as these are classed as MTL coils.
The devices will normally run at around 10-12 watts which is the ideal wattage range for MTL vaping, and you'll get a punchy, yet smooth throat hit when you inhale.

Utilising replacement Klypse pods, the pods have the coils preinstalled inside them, meaning all you need to do is top up with vape juice, drop the pod back into the device and the rest is done for you! The device is inhale activated also meaning you don't even have to press any buttons to vape!

Aspire R1 Refillable Vape Kit
The Aspire R1 is one of the more unique vape kits we offer, but it's our top selling kit nearly every month!
This device is a refillable and rechargeable pod vape kit, however rather than having to change coils or pods, once the coil is burnt out, you simply dispose of the device and get yourself a replacement.
It's estimated to last at least 5000 puffs before you need to replace the device, which is significantly more than a standard disposable vape.
But with disposable vapes earmarked to be banned from sale next June in the UK, the R1 could be the better option to consider using than disposable vapes such as Elf Bar or Lost Mary BM600.
- Easiness Of Use - 5/5
- Budget Friendly? - £9.99
- MTL Vaping? Yes 0.8ohm coils inside replacement pods
Aspire Gotek X Refillable Pod Vape Kit
And finally, our third top seller on our online vape shop is the Aspire Gotek X which is arguably the smallest device we offer, fitting nicely inside the palm of your hand but despite the size, it delivers a big time vaping experience.
Utilising replacement and refillable Gotek X pods, the coils are already preinstalled in the pods, meaning you simply top them up with vape juice and when the coil has reached the end of it's life, dispose of the pod and replace it with a new one!
The Gotek X doesn't have any features like adjustable wattage you need to understand, the device automatically sets the wattage output based on which coil is in the Gotek pod. Extremely user friendly device that's perfect for your first vape kit.
Vape Juices To Use In Your Vape Kit To Help You Quit
We've explained everything you need to know about the best vape juices to use when quitting smoking in our blog that features in this series for our New Year New You series of blogs, but we'll briefly go over some of the best options you can choose from here in this blog.
You'll want to use a vape juice with nicotine and the correct nicotine strength that's relevant to the amount of nicotine you'd previously got from smoking tobacco products. For example, if you smoked around 10 cigarettes a day, you'd want to use a 6mg freebase nicotine vape juice or 10mg nicotine salts. And if you were a heavier smoker of around 20 cigarettes a day, then the ideal nicotine strength for you would be 18mg in freebase nicotine vape juice or 20mg nicotine salts.
We have an incredible selection of vape juices in both freebase nicotine as well as nicotine salts to buy from our online vape shop from just £1 per 10ml bottle, as we aim to make vaping as affordable as possible to everyone.
Our Original £1 range is made with freebase nicotine and we have over 50 different flavours to choose from in tapered nicotine strengths that start from as low as 3mg all the way to 18mg.
And we also have our Bar Salts range, which are made using carefully balanced double flavour concentrates and paired with our own smooth and satisfying nicotine salts. There's over 20 different flavours to choose from with our original range, as well as our newly added Bar Salts Sodas, Bar Salts Desserts and Bar Salts Fruits, which are simple stand alone fruit flavours without any ice or cooling effect added to it.
