Best Pre-filled Pod Kits in UK
Hi, I’m Joshua Joseph. I’ve been vaping for more than 9 years, and over that time I’ve tried hundreds of kits. Lately, the vaping scene in the UK has changed a lot. With single-use vapes now banned, more people are moving to better, legal options.
One of the easiest swaps is to use a prefilled pod kit. These work almost like the old disposables — you puff and enjoy — but you can recharge them and replace only the pods when they’re empty. They’re cheaper in the long run and much kinder to the environment.
My team and I tested many devices to see which ones are worth buying. We checked how they taste, how long the battery lasts, how simple they are to use, and what other vapers say about them.
Top Picks for 2025
Here are the kits that stood out for flavour, value, and everyday performance. Whether you want two flavours in one vape, a long-lasting big puff kit, or something simple for beginners, you’ll find a good match here.
1. Hayati Pro Ultra Plus
If you want long vaping sessions without charging often, this is my top pick. The 850mAh battery lasts a long time, and the Dual Tank design means you get two flavours in one device. Switching between them takes just a click, so it’s like carrying two vapes in one. The taste stays strong from start to finish. For more on the flavours, check out our full guide [Link to Hayati Pro Ultra Plus Flavour Guide].

What is a Prefilled Pod Kit?
A prefilled pod kit is a vape with a battery you can recharge and a pod already filled with e-liquid. When the liquid runs out, you replace the pod with a new one. There’s no refilling or mess, and it’s perfect for people who liked disposables but want something cheaper and more eco-friendly.
Tips for Moving from Disposables
- Always carry a spare pod so you don’t run out.
- Charge overnight like you do with your phone.
- Save money by only replacing the pod, not the whole vape.
- Same great taste – many brands make pods with flavours you already like.
