Vaping Gifts for Smokers & New Vapers

When you’re buying a vape kit for a smoker who hasn’t vaped before (or doesn’t have much experience) there’s a few things to bear in mind.

1. It’s advisable to use a device that gives a similar experience to a cigarette.

Cigarettes have a tight draw that is quite different to some of the bigger “cloud machines” you’ll see in use.

2. For new vapers, it’s a good idea to choose a device that is easy to use.

As vapers gain more experience, some will gravitate to devices that need more technical expertise, but starter kits allow you to walk before you start running!

3. It’s usually a good idea to choose an e-liquid with a higher nicotine concentration, such as 2.0%, 1.8% or 1.2%. 

This means vaping will better help alleviate nicotine cravings. Low nicotine strengths often lead to people vaping more in an attempt to fulfil nicotine cravings.

See our Guide to Choosing the Right Nicotine Strength for more information.

The simplest device available is a cigalike, which looks very similar to a cigarette. To use you just inhale, and the device does the rest - making it perfect for technophobes! Most people, however, choose to go for something that looks a bit different from a cigarette and gives the option to use different e-liquids.

One great option for new vapers, or those wanting to move on from disposables, are prefilled pod kits - easy-to-use, rechargeable devices that use prefilled pods. These make a great alternative as they offer the same flavour as disposables in a more cost-effective and environmentally friendly way. 

If you’d prefer to experiment with different flavours, opt for a refillable device. There are many beginner-friendly options available, but improvements in technology mean they produce enough vapour to satisfy most smoker’s cravings for nicotine.

Suggested E-Cig Kits for New Vapers

Gifts for Vapers & Experienced Vapers

Existing vapers very broadly fall into two groups. One group, known as cloud chasers, likes using large devices and blowing huge clouds of vapour, while the other group are happy to use smaller, more discrete devices.

Christmas Gift for Cloud Chasers

Vaporesso Target 100

The Target 100 kit provides big clouds and great flavour with a 100W mod paired with the iTank vape tank and low resistance GTI mesh coils. The iTank’s innovative Turbo airflow system lets air fully circulate the tank and coil for maximum flavour and vapour.

Powered by external 18650 or 21700 batteries (not included), the Target 100 mod gives you a choice of 5 modes to customise your vape - from basic Variable Wattage (VW) to flavour-enhancing F(t) mode.

Also see the Target 200 and Target 80 & iTank kits.

E-Liquid Christmas Gifts

One thing every vaper needs is e-liquid. This short guide will help you choose...

10ml E-Liquid

10ml e-liquid such as Halo Vapour Co. (three for £9.99) is great for vapers who are looking to replicate the nicotine hit of a cigarette or is using starter kits or lower powered devices.

Short Fills

Best for Clouds

For cloud chasers, you’ll want larger bottles of e-liquid (known as short fills). These don’t contain any nicotine, but are used with a seperate nicotine shot - but don’t worry, on E-Cigarette Direct you get a free nicotine shot with every short fill.

Popular brands on E-Cigarette Direct include Halo Shortfills, Punx by Riot Squad and Doozy Vape.

For a festive e-liquid option, why not try Baked Apple from Cotton & Cable?

Stocking Fillers

If you can find out exactly what tank your family member or friend is using, a great idea for stocking fillers are coils. These are an essential part of the tank, but need to be changed every few weeks.

Other options include a stylish vape drip tip to go on the end of the tank or a bubble vape glass to expand the capacity of the tank.
