Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and it seems everyone is having a go these days at a Voopoo Drag X / S style device. While we are not saying one is better than the other, each have their own unique take on this excellent design.
The Aspire BP80 Pod Kit uses the Aspire BP coil system, offering both a 0.17ohm and 0.3ohm coil option. With a 2500mAh internal battery, you have more than enough power to last vaping during your day.
With a similar quick change coil system and mess-free refilling as the Voopoo Drag X / S and the Sigelei Humvee 80 Kit, this device is sure to be a winner.
2. Elf Bar Mate 500
Key Details |
Refillable: | Yes |

Overall Cost: | £ |
Best Liquid Type: | 50/50 |
Best For: | Beginners |
Pros & Cons:
👍 Low Cost

👍 Small form factor
👎 Only ideal for MTL vaping
We rate the Elf Bar Mate 500: 4.5/5
Accessories:
There has been a huge rise in the popularity of disposable vapes in the past few years, but this device is the perfect transition away from disposables to a more “open” style system.
With the ability to use the pre-filled pods (in the same great flavours as the Elf Bar disposables) and Mate 500 refillable pods (where you can use your own nicotine salt eliquid), this device isn’t just a great replacement for a disposable, its a great device period.
3. OXVA Xlim SE
Key Details |
Refillable: | Yes |
Prefilled: | No |
Vaping Style: | RDTL |
Overall Cost: | ££ |
Best Liquid Type: | 50/50 |
Best For: | Beginners |
Pros & Cons:
👍 Large battery
👍 Adjustable airflow control
👍 Leak resistant pod design
👎 No adjustable wattage
We rate the OXVA Xlim SE Kit: 4/5
Accessories:
If you are a fan of slim cigalike style devices but don’t want to go with the usual Uwell Caliburn option, the OXVA Xlim SE could be the one for you!
With replaceable pods (rather than coils) to stop any mess when your coil needs replacing, not only are they easy to swap out but it’s also super simple if you want to carry a spare pod to change flavour halfway through the day.
This device features a rechargeable 900mAh battery and a maximum output of 25w which will satisfy the most seasoned vapers when using nicotine salts (which we would always recommend for this style of device).
4. Voopoo Drag E60
Key Details |
Refillable: | Yes |
Prefilled: | No |
Vaping Style: | DTL |
Overall Cost: | £££ |
Best Liquid Type: | Up to High VG |
Best For: | Intermediate Vapers |
Pros & Cons:
👍 Large battery
👍 Adjustable airflow control
👍 ECO mode
👎 Larger size than other options
We rate the Voopoo Drag E60: 5/5
Accessories:
The Voopoo drag series of devices have been incredibly popular and now the latest of the internal battery versions is here – the Drag E60. Featuring a massive 2550mAh internal battery that features USB-C fast charging, an incredible eco mode to make your battery last even longer and the newly redesigned PnP pods, this device is an absolute must for anyone who enjoyed the previous versions of the device.
5. Voopoo Drag H80s
Key Details |
Refillable: | Yes |
Prefilled: | No |
Vaping Style: | DTL |
Overall Cost: | £££ |
Best Liquid Type: | Up to High VG |
Best For: | Intermediate Vapers |
Pros & Cons:
👍 Uses external 18650 battery
👍 Huge range of PnP coil available
👍 Adjustable wattage
👎 No true MTL option
We rate the Voopoo Drag H80s: 5/5
Accessories:
We couldn’t feature one without the other, so let’s take a look at the larger version of the E60 – the Voopoo Drag H80s.
With a slightly taller size than the former device, this device has all of the same great redesigned features but the increased size gives you the ability to use your own 18650 batteries for more battery life on the go (when carrying an additional battery).
The Drag series of devices have already been a massive staff favourite here, and we already love the new version with their top fill pods and great new coil options.
With magnetically attached pods, they are still extremely easy to fill or replace your coil.
6. Geekvape Sonder U
Key Details |
Refillable: | Yes |
Prefilled: | No |
Vaping Style: | MTL |
Overall Cost: | £ |
Best Liquid Type: | 50/50 |
Best For: | Beginners |
Pros & Cons:
👍 Large battery
👍 Extremely easy to use
👍 Magnetic pods
👎 No airflow control
We rate the Geekvape Sonder U Kit: 4/5
Accessories:
Geekvape have been known for a long time in the hardware market, and the reputation for creating some amazing devices is certainly warranted.
This year, they have released the Geekvape Sonder U – a small form factor pod device with refillable pods.
No need to worry about mess when swapping coils, when your coil is at the end of its life just swap out the pod for a replacement!
Even better than the performance of this device is the price point – a full vape kit for under £10! For the price of two disposables you can have a full device.
7. Uwell Crown M Kit
Key Details |
Refillable: | Yes |
Prefilled: | No |
Vaping Style: | MTL & DTL |
Overall Cost: | £££ |
Best Liquid Type: | Up to High VG |
Best For: | Intermediate Vapers |
Pros & Cons:
👍 Super cool design
👍 Coil options for MTL & DTL vaping
👍 Adjustable wattage up to 35w
👎 Looks may not be for everyone
We rate the Uwell Crown M: 4.5/5
Accessories:
The Uwell Crown M is a compact 35w pod system designed by the same company that brought the excellent Crown sub-ohm tank series to life, and we think this is one of the best looking pod systems we’ve seen in a while!
With a feature set similar to most full sized sub-ohm kit, this compact 1000mAh internal battery pod device has full variable wattage using the knurled wattage knob and will give you the power you need when you want it!
8. Elf Bar FB1000
Key Details |
Refillable: | Yes |
Prefilled: | No |
Vaping Style: | RDTL |
Overall Cost: | ££ |
Best Liquid Type: | 50/50 |
Best For: | Beginners |
Pros & Cons:
👍 Easy, no fuss vaping
👍 Compatible with Voopoo PnP coils
👍 Pocket friendly design
👎 No adjustable wattage
We rate the Elf Bar FB1000: 4/5
Accessories:
Another pod kit device that looks very similar to the original Voopoo Drag X / S style design, but with a design that great, where is the downside?
This small, stubbier device features a 1000mAh internal battery and takes all of the usual Voopoo PnP series of coils in addition to the specially designed Elf Bar 0.8 Mesh coils that are included in the kit.
With a device this pocketable and with the huge number of coil options available for it, we think this is an absolute winner for anyone. What’s more is the single button use, so there are no wattages to set – your device will automatically fire at the optimum wattage for each coil you are using!
9. Aspire One Up R1 Kit
Key Details |
Refillable: | Yes |
Prefilled: | No |
Vaping Style: | RDTL |
Overall Cost: | £ |
Best Liquid Type: | 50/50 |
Best For: | Beginners |
Pros & Cons:
👍 Inhale activated
👍 No coil change required
👍 Lightweight
👎 Disposable design
We rate the Aspire One Up R1: 4/5
Although this is technically a disposable pod kit, we’ve still got to include it in our best pod system list simply because of how great the Aspire One Up R1 is at what it does.
This 650mAh device features USB-C fast charging to get you vaping again as quickly as possible and features a re-fillable 2ml pod (including coil).
When the coil reaches the end of its life, simply pick up a new device. This device is one of the best low maintenance pod kits available as you have no coils or pods to change, just keep it topped up with juice and charged.
10. Uwell Caliburn A2
Key Details |
Refillable: | Yes |
Prefilled: | No |
Vaping Style: | RDTL |
Overall Cost: | ££ |
Best Liquid Type: | 50/50 |
Best For: | Beginners |
Pros & Cons:
👍 Inhale or push button activated
👍 Small device footprint
👍 Great flavour
👎 Pod can sometime be hard to open
We rate the Uwell Caliburn A2: 4.75 / 5
Accessories:
Uwell previously released one of the best reusable vape on the market – the Caliburn. Now they are back, with the Caliburn A2.
Following on from the success of all of the previous devices, the Caliburn A2 has gone back to its roots with the replaceable pods for no-fuss coil changes.
With inhale activation (or button press to activate), this device is still one of the best vape systems around – and it’s still under £20! With USB-C charging, its 520mAh battery is enough to keep you going on the move and provides some of the best flavour in this size device.
