About Vape Pens

A vaporiser pen or simply vape pen is one of the most popular types of e-cigarette on the market. They range from the size of a standard cigarette to that of a large cigar, and many have a smooth and streamlined appearance like a traditional cigarette. They are usually slim and lightweight in design and incorporate a small rechargeable battery for convenience. Vape pens also include a heating element and a tank, known as the clearomizer or atomiser. It’s in this tank you put your chosen e-liquid, and moving onto a vape pen is the first chance for many vapers to try the diverse range of e-liquids on the market. E-liquid kits are a great middle ground between disposable vape kits and more advanced mods since they allow you to experiment with flavours without it being too complicated.

The best vape pens, as you can see from the Vuse Pro, are designed to be accessible and easy to use, even for first-time vapers. They are often used as entry devices to vaping because, as is the case with ePod cartridges, the changing of the pod is so simple.


How to Choose the Best Vape Pen for You

With so many options on the market, why do vapers keep opting for vape pens? They have many benefits, which you should consider when deciding if it is the right choice. The benefits of vape pens include:

Simple and Rechargeable

Well-designed, quality vape pens are straightforward in design. Even beginners should have no problem filling, using, charging and rechsrging their vape pens. Many vape kits have a single one-button operation, so it could not be simpler to start vaping.

Subtle Design

Unlike sub-ohm kits, most vape pens are subtle and discreet in design. Many look nearly identical to the original electronic cigarettes. They are designed to be slim and compact and easily stored when not in use.

Portability

Vaporiser pens are usually compact, making them easy to carry anywhere you go. Almost all vape pens are pocket-sized and lightweight. Good quality pens also have sufficient battery life, enabling you to get a whole day's vaping from your device without the need to charge. Big puff disposable vapes are a great option for portability as they require no charging or refilling, and they last a significantly long time due to their large puff count, making them ideal for vaping on the go.

Affordability

Vape pens come at all price levels, but there is a wide range of devices with great value and quality. Some are specially designed as entry-level e-liquid kits, while others can be enjoyed by vapers of all experience levels. The JUUL 2 and the slightly more advanced Xros Mini 3 by Vaporesso are two examples of how affordable vape pens can be, providing everything you need in one box.

Choosing the right Vape Pen Size, Shape and Battery Life

Once you have decided on the right kind of rechargeable e-cigarette for your needs, you need to consider your requirements. Every brand differs and offers something unique, so before choosing your vape pen, consider the following points:

  • Battery Life

    Do you plan to vape out and about a lot? If so, it's worth looking for a vape pen with a high battery life.

  • Size

    Most pens are compact and easily pocket-sized, but this isn't always the case. Consider the size which suits you best. Usually, bigger and longer vape pens have better battery life, so you may need to weigh up which is more important.

  • Style

    There is now a huge range of rechargeable vape pens on the market, so you can find them in almost any colour and style. You will be able to find one which best suits your style.

Featured Reviews from ET Customers

BLU Pro Kit

"I smoked for a long time and then started vaping instead. Strangely enough the mouthpiece is important to me, I wanted something round and slim enough that it had some semblance of what I’d been used to!This device is the best yet, it has a good battery life, easy to fill and lasts me quite awhile."

Frequently Asked Questions about Vape Pens

How do I dispose of my vape pen?
 

If your vape pen has broken or you are upgrading to a newer setup and no longer require it, you can head to your local recycling point to correctly dispose of this. Much easier alternatives would be going to your nearest vape store, as many of them have in-store recycling, or returning your used vape pen to the manufacturer you purchased it from, as a majority offer recycling schemes by post.

How do I use a vape pen?
 

This depends on the brand of vape pen you are using, as some are uniquely designed; however, the basic rules can be applied across all vape pens. Firstly, you will need to prepare your coil before first use by applying drops of e-liquid onto the wicking holes. Then screw your coil into your tank and connect the tank to the rest of the battery so it sits flush. Some vape pens have a top-fill port, and some utilise a bottom-fill. Either way, fill your tank with your desired e-liquid and wait 5-10 minutes for the coil to saturate - this process is called priming.

Once this has been done, turn on your kit by pressing the power button several times in quick succession (some vape pens need three presses, whereas others may require five). Finally, press and hold the power button whenever you want to vape to begin your journey - some vape pens utilise draw-activation, which means you can start vaping just by inhaling from the mouthpiece.

Where can I buy a vape pen?
 

You can purchase vape pens from supermarkets and brick-and-mortar vape stores or online retailers like The Electric Tobacconist for more competitively priced vape kits.

How much should a vape pen cost?
 

In the early days of vaping, you would be lucky to pick up a vape pen for under £30, but thankfully not everything in the UK has gone up in cost! Increased competition has seen prices come down as low as under £5 for kits these days.

Can you leave a vape pen turned on?
 

It's good practice to turn off your vape pen when not in use. This will prevent accidental activation, for example, if it's in your pocket. Many modern vape pens are draw activated, however, which means there is no need to turn it off the safety issues are less of a concern.

Should I keep my vape pen upright?
 

Yes, when storing or not using your vape pen, it's good practice to keep it upright. To ensure the integrity of your device, position it upright with the mouthpiece facing upwards. This practice helps to reduce the likelihood of leaks, which can create a nuisance and potentially harm your device. Additionally, it’s crucial to keep your vape pens in a location that is cool and not exposed to direct sunlight.

Does a vape pen come charged?
 

Very often a vape pen will come with some residual charge, making them ready to use right away, however we recommend charging your vape pen immediately even if it does have some charge already. It will usually charge in under an hour in any case.
