Choosing Your E-Liquid

Starter kits require separate e-liquid purchase—match liquid to your device type.

Nicotine Salts (Best for Most)

Nic salts provide smooth satisfaction at high strengths (10-20mg). Perfect for ex-smokers and those switching from disposables. Work brilliantly in all MTL starter kits.

10mg-20mg Smooth Hit Quick Satisfaction

50/50 Freebase

3mg-18mg Throat Hit Traditional Feel

Match VG/PG Ratio

Most starter kits work best with 50/50 or nic salts. Avoid thick high-VG liquids (70/30+) unless your kit specifically supports sub-ohm. Check your manual for recommended e-liquids.

What to Look for When Choosing

Key features that make excellent starter kits for beginners.

Ease of Use

Simple operation with minimal buttons and settings. Draw-activated or single-button devices work best for beginners. Avoid complicated menus and advanced features initially.

Battery Life

At least 1000mAh for light-to-moderate vapers; 1500mAh+ for heavy users. Good battery life prevents mid-day charging and ensures reliable performance throughout your day.

Tank/Pod Design

Top-fill systems prevent mess. Clear windows let you monitor liquid levels. Leak-resistant designs avoid pocket disasters. Look for 2ml TPD-compliant capacity.

Coil Availability

Choose brands with readily available replacement coils. Check our coils collection to ensure you can easily restock when needed.

Size & Portability

Compact devices slip easily into pockets or bags. Pod systems offer maximum portability; pen-style kits balance size with battery capacity. Consider your lifestyle.

Build Quality

Metal construction lasts longer than plastic. Durable devices withstand daily use and occasional drops. Premium brands offer better long-term reliability.

Getting Started with Your Kit

Read Instructions First

Spend 5 minutes reading the manual before using your kit. Understanding component assembly, filling procedures, and operation prevents common mistakes and ensures optimal performance.

Charge Fully Before Use

New devices often arrive partially charged. Connect USB cable and charge fully before first use. This ensures accurate battery life expectations and optimal performance.

Prime Your Coil Properly

After filling your tank, wait 5-10 minutes before vaping. This lets e-liquid fully saturate the coil cotton, preventing burnt hits and extending coil life significantly.

Start with Lower Wattage

If your kit has adjustable power, begin at the lower end of your coil's recommended range. Increase gradually until you find your preferred warmth and vapour production.

Choose Appropriate Nicotine

Match nicotine strength to your smoking habits. Heavy smokers (20+ daily) need 18mg freebase or 20mg nic salt. Light smokers (5-10 daily) suit 12mg freebase or 10mg nic salt.

Clean & Maintain Regularly

Wipe contacts weekly with dry tissue. Rinse tank components when changing flavours. Replace coils every 1-2 weeks. Proper maintenance ensures consistent performance and longevity.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a starter kit and buying components separately? +

Starter kits bundle perfectly matched components from a single manufacturer—device, tank/pod, coils, charger, and instructions. This eliminates compatibility concerns and ensures optimal performance. Buying separately requires research to match components and often costs more. Starter kits provide better value, guaranteed compatibility, and faster setup—ideal for beginners who want simplicity.

Do starter kits include e-liquid? +

Most refillable starter kits do not include e-liquid due to the vast variety of flavours and nicotine strengths available. This allows you to choose e-liquids that match your preferences. Some prefilled pod starter kits include sealed pods with e-liquid, but refillable kits require separate e-liquid purchase. Browse our complete e-liquid collection to find your perfect flavours.

How long do starter kit components last? +

The device itself (battery/mod) typically lasts 1-2+ years with proper care. Tanks and pods last months to years depending on usage. Coils need replacing every 1-2 weeks—signs include diminished flavour, reduced vapour, or burnt taste. Most starter kits include 2-3 coils initially, giving you several weeks before purchasing replacements. Batteries degrade after 300-500 charge cycles but remain functional for extended periods.

What e-liquid should I buy with my starter kit? +

Most starter kits work best with nicotine salts (10-20mg) or 50/50 VG/PG freebase e-liquids. For ex-smokers, start with 12-18mg freebase or 20mg nic salt to match cigarette satisfaction. If switching from disposables, bar salt e-liquids replicate familiar flavours. Avoid thick 70/30 or higher VG liquids unless your kit specifically mentions sub-ohm compatibility. Check your kit's manual for recommended e-liquid types.

Are starter kits suitable for heavy smokers? +

Absolutely. Starter kits paired with appropriate nicotine strength effectively satisfy heavy smokers. Choose kits with larger batteries (1500mAh+) for all-day use. Use 18mg freebase or 20mg nic salt e-liquids for strong satisfaction. MTL starter kits replicate cigarette draw perfectly. Many heavy smokers successfully quit using simple starter kits—the key is matching nicotine strength to your smoking habits.

Can I upgrade from my starter kit later? +

Yes, starter kits are designed as entry points with natural upgrade paths. Once comfortable, you can explore advanced devices with more features, sub-ohm kits for bigger clouds, or premium pod systems with enhanced performance. Many vapers keep their starter kits as reliable backup devices. Starting simple helps you understand your preferences before investing in advanced equipment. There's no rush—master the basics first.
