The Top 5 Vape Kits To Take On Holiday
When choosing a vape kit to take on holiday, there are a few factors to bear in mind. The ideal travel vape should be compact and portable, but should also have enough battery life to keep you gong no matter your chosen activities. Not to mention the potential availability of replacement components like pods and coils once you arrive.
Below we list our top 5 vape kits that we think are perfect for travel and in our own experience as vapers have made for great holiday companions to help manage our cravings without resorting to cigarettes or other NRTs!
VOOPOO Argus P2
- Portable and easy to pack
- large battery capacity for all-day adventuring
- Rapid charging for minimal holiday downtime
- Long lasting pods = less replacements during travel
Starting this list off strong with one of the best vape devices of 2024 which is the Argus P2 refillable pod vape kit. If you've read our review of the Argus P2, you'll know what I think of this device and my opinion hasn't changed since I first got my hands on it!
Its small and discreet design makes it a perfect pocket sized vape, easily tucked away in your hand luggage or in a pocket when travelling. Depsite it's size it packs a big punch when it comes to flavour production and it houses an 1100mah battery which will provide all day charge while you're out and about. Not to mention this is paired with fast charge capability meaning your device will recharge from 5% to 100% in just over 30 minutes! Ideal if you've been out all day and want to recharge your vape while you're getting ready to head out for the evening while away.
It's the perfect device to use nicotine salts in as well, as the mesh coils enhance the flavour and the power from the battery gives a strong yet satisfying hit with every puff. And the pods have an incredibly long lasting life, I'm still using the original pod which came with the kit and that's at least two weeks old, so you'll only need to take one or two spare pods with you as back up whilst on your travels.
Innokin Kylpse Mecha
- Portable and easy to pack
- large battery capacity for all-day adventuring
- Rapid charging for minimal holiday downtime
- Popular kit with readily available replacement parts
This is another device which we have reviewed for the site, and it really ticks all of the boxes as an every day vape as well as being the perfect travel vape companion!
Its small box style design makes it extremely portable and easy to pack. The battery life will last you all day before needing to be charged which is great for city breaks and more adventurous trips.
This device is perfect for using nicotine salts in, with the 0.8ohm Kylpse pods which will provide a full on flavour experience as well as a smooth and satisfying nicotine hit.
I've found the pods to last a good 7-10 days before they need changing, so you won't have to pack a lot of spares with you in your luggage.
Vaporesso Xros Pro
- Portable and easy to pack
- large battery capacity for all-day adventuring
- Rapid charging for minimal holiday downtime
- Long lasting pods = less replacements during travel
If you're looking for a vape kit that provides incredible flavour of any vape juice used and a long lasting battery that charges from 0% - 100% in just over 30 minutes, then look no further than the Xros Pro to choose as your holiday vape!
This device is one of the latest in the Xros series released by Vaporesso and it's an exceptionally good vape device that ticks all of the boxes for what you would want and need from a vape kit! The long lasting battery will provide all day usage, even when being used at 20 watts (only with Xros Pro pods) and you won't be kept waiting long for it to recharge thanks to it's fast charge capabilities.
The pods provide terrific flavour as well as a moderate amount of vapour production and has a good lasting lifespan of around 7 days at minimum.

Aspire R1
- Portable and easy to pack
- Low-cost holiday stand-in vape
- Disposable design but refillable/rechargeable
- Long lasting coils = less replacements during travel
When considering the possibility of a vape going missing on holiday, or if you simply do not want to spend much for a simple kit that you will likely only use while away if your main vape stays behind, the R1 is a great budget-friendly choice. If you do enjoy using disposables and want a similar experience but something longer lasting than a traditional disposable such as an Elf Bar, then the Aspire R1 is for you.
Whilst this is classed as disposable, the Aspire R1 does have features which a disposable does not. You can refill it with your preferred vape juice and also it is rechargeable! It's estimated you can get around 6000 puffs from an Aspire R1, which is 10 times more than a standard disposable meaning it will last you much longer than one day.
The Aspire R1 is a similar design to a disposable vape, where it's a slim and discreet sized pen style vape which can easily slide into any pocket or bag making it extremely convenient for travelling.
OXVA Xlim Pro
- Portable and easy to pack
- Lightweight build = easy to carry around all day
- Rapid charging for minimal holiday downtime
- Popular kit with readily available replacement parts
Rounding off the list is one of the best vape devices which was released in 2023 and that is the OXVA Xlim Pro.
A compact, sleek and slimline refillable pod device which can fit in any pocket with ease and offers ultimate discretion when you want to have a vape.
The mesh coils within the pods enhance the flavour of your vape juice, and the device also has variable wattage which can be customised to your desired range to achieve full vaping satisfaction.
The perfect vape device to take on holiday with you if you're looking for something small yet powerful that brings maximum flavour and vaping satisfaction!
What To Consider When Choosing The Best Vape Kit for Traveling
Portability and Size
Picking a vape kit that's portable and relatively small in size will help in many different ways. It won't take up much space in your hand luggage when you're packing it away, and also it will be portable enough to take out with you while you're exploring, whether that be at the beach, going sightseeing, or any other holiday related activity. For more information about how best to pack your vape kit for a holiday check out our guide to vaping and air travel.
No need to carry a bulky vape kit around in your pocket when there's a great slection of affrodable pocket-sized vape kits available to take as your vape travel companion!
Battery Life and Charging Options
If the holiday that you're planning involves being on the go a lot, you're going to want to choose a vape device that has a good battery life to ensure that it lasts you all day while you're out and about exploring and enjoying your holiday.
You'll also want to consider picking a vape kit that has fast charge capabilities too, Like the VooPoo Argus P2, so that when the battery does begin to run down, you can pop it on charge and won't be left without your vape for too long!
Take note of the charger compatibility of your destination to - you will almost certainly need to purchase the relevant plug adaptor if travelling abroad from the UK or you may be left with no way to charge your vape battery. Thankfully most vape kits come with a USB charging cable which is a universal option, however not all hotel rooms etc will have the provision of a USB slot, so plan accordingly.
Availability of Replacement Coils, Pods & Batteries
Assuming you have chosen a holiday destination that permits the sale and use of vaping products, it is always wise to carry enough replacement pods, coils, and batteries with you to meet the needs of your trip.
If disaster were to strike however and you find yourself in need of replacements, choosing a vape kit that is relatively modern, and from reputable brands like VooPoo, Vaporesso, Innokin or Aspire gives you a much greater chance of being able to find compatible replacement parts overseas. You can learn more about the most popular vape brands in 2024 in our blog.
Custom or older vape kits are less likely ot be catered for, and while you might strike lucky, the odds will be against you. So plan accordingly and purchase a suitably modern and popular kit that foreign vape stores are likely ot cater to!
Refillable Vape Kits vs Disposable Vape Kits
Disposable vape kits are incredibly popular due to the convenience factor they offer. They are ready to go straight out of the packet with no need to refill or recharge them.
However, disposable vapes are not known for their long lasting life span, and if you're a frequent user of your vape device, chances are that these will only last you for a day before running out. Meaning you will have to take plenty of disposable vapes with you on your travels which can cause a suitcase packing nightmare.
Many countries have already banned the sale of disposable vapes. So if you are a disposable vape user and you're travelling to a country where they are banned from sale, you're not going to be able to replace your disposable once it runs out!
This is why a refillable vape kit is the much more logical option when it comes to choosing a vape to take on holiday with you, as you can take vape juice and spare vape coils/vape pods with you to last for the duration of your trip, and they don't take up as much room in your luggage either!
Using a refillable vape kit gives you much more choice when it comes to vaping as well, as you may be able to buy vape juice in the country you're holidaying in, you might even discover flavours which you may not be able to get here in the UK!
Why Nicotine Salt Vape Juice Is One Of The Best Options For Travelling With your Vape
Nicotine salt e-liquid has fast become the more preferred type of vape juice amongst vapers not only in the UK but globally also. Nic salts provide a much more flavoursome vape experience as well as a faster absorption rate and longer satisfaction too meaning your cravings for nicotine will be curbed near enough instantly after a couple of puffs on your vape kit.
Faster absorption and longer lasting effects are key points for if you're out and about on your holiday as you won't always be clutching at your vape as the nicotine salts will have done their job. I remember taking my children on holiday to Disney World and their designated vaping areas are few and far between located around the theme park, so I didn't get much opportunity to dip in and have a vape break.
But as I was using nicotine salts, I didn't feel the urge to constantly seek these areas out as my nicotine cravings were minimal, and this meant I could enjoy more family time enjoying the park and it's attractions rather than hunting out their vaping areas and having a quick puff or two.
The rich flavours can also perfectly compliment a sunny day too, using a nice tropical tasting vape juice like Kiwi, Passionfruit and Guava whilst soaking up the rays of the hot sun just makes your holiday that little bit better, well, it did for me anyway!
