Vape mod kits include both a mod device and a tank. The mod provides the power and controls, while the tank holds the coil and e-liquid. The tank and mod are usually attached via a threaded 510 connection - meaning most tanks and mods are cross-compatible.
You’ll find mod devices in either fixed or replaceable battery options. For replaceable battery mods, the battery is usually an 18650 or 21700. For maximum battery capacity, we recommend choosing a mod that uses dual 21700 batteries.
As your mod kit will usually include replacement coils and a compatible charging cable, the only thing you need to buy separately is the e-liquid and, if needed, a replaceable battery.
There is one crucial difference between UK vape mod kits and those outside Europe. This is due to the EU’s Tobacco Products Directive 2 (TPD 2) law, which limits the size of vape tanks to 2ml. This is why you’ll notice some tanks or mod kits listed as ‘TPD version’.
While vape mods have a reputation for being difficult to use and exclusive to experienced, Direct-Lung (DL) vapers, nowadays there are vape mods suited to most users.
Many modern mods feature a ‘Smart mode’ option that sets the best power output for your coil - making them more accessible to users with limited experience while still offering other, more advanced modes for those who want to fine-tune their vape. Most vape tanks also now take a wider range of coils, with options for Mouth-to-Lung (MTL) and restricted Direct-Lung (RDL) vapers.
So, while we usually recommend mod kits to more experienced vapers, there are also some that are suitable for newer vapers who prefer a larger device, longer battery life and an airy inhale while not being afraid to do a little bit of learning.
