Join us as we take a look at the best auto-draw vape kits of 2024.
This selection of MTL (mouth to lung) vape kits are designed to produce a small amount of vapour and replicate the sensation a real cigarette provides. Pod kits are uncomplicated to use and an ideal first vape kit for beginner users. The convenience of draw-activated pod kits also appeals to experienced vapers looking for hassle-free vaping with minimal maintenance to simplify the vaping process.
We have experienced loads of new vapers coming through the doors at our vape stores across the UK, and shopping on our busy online store, looking for alternatives to disposable vapes. Disposable vapes are a great stepping stone, a great way to dip your toe into the world of vaping and see what it has to offer. But when vaping disposable bars for a number of months, you may notice they are quite expensive and the single-use plastics being tipped into landfill is very wasteful.
Many of these customers have become used to the convenience of disposables, draw on the mouthpiece for vapour, when finished, throw it away. Inhale-activated vape kits nicely bridge the gap between disposable vapes like the Elf Bar 600, and other vape starter kits available like the Aspire PockeX, that requires pressing a button to fire or activate the device.
A large percentage of the vape kits mentioned in this list don’t feature any buttons at all, all the complicated menus and systems have been stripped back to basics to cater for beginner vapers and those looking for easy and hassle-free vaping.
When making the transition to a refillable and rechargeable vape device, you need to start exploring vape juice or e-liquid options. All disposable vapes contain nicotine salt juice, mostly in 20mg/ml, so this is a great place to start when levelling up.
You probably have a good idea what types of flavour profiles you enjoy vaping, and many of the same flavours are available in 10ml nicotine salt e-liquid bottles. We can highly recommend best-selling nicotine salt vape juice ranges like Elux Legends, Maryliq, Bar Juice 5000, Firerose and SKE Crystal nic salts, click here for a full rundown of the best nic salt e-liquids. These mouth-watering salt-based nicotine e-liquids are based on the most popular disposable vape blends available in 10mg and 20mg, and some available in 5mg nicotine strengths.
What is an inhale-activated vape kit?
Draw activated or inhale activated refers to vape kits that are fitted with technology to instantly provide vapour when the mouthpiece is inhaled upon, without the need to press the fire button. Inhaling on the mouthpiece will trigger the device into operation mode, activating the battery to heat the coil and produce vapour.
Inhale activated vapes are one of the simplest types of vape kits available, just take a puff on the vape like you would with a cigarette or disposable vape making them an ideal option for beginner vapers.
Who are inhale-activated vape kits for?
Ideal option for customers making the switch from disposable vapes to refillable and rechargeable kits, because they offer the same auto-draw functionality and ease of use.
Inhale-activated devices closely mimic inhaling on a regular cigarette with a mouth-to-lung (MTL) draw, being a great choice for new vapers.
Perfect solution for experienced vapers looking for an easy-to-use and hassle-free vape.
Great vape kit option for those with dexterity issues such as arthritis or carpal tunnel, making vaping as easy as inhaling on the mouthpiece.
How do inhale-activated vape kits work?
Inhale-activated vape kits detect when the mouthpiece is inhaled upon via air pressure or airflow, this triggers activation mode.
The mouthpiece of your vape is inhaled on, which activates the airflow sensor
The airflow sensor detects change in pressure sending signals to activate the battery
The battery is activated sending power to the coil or heating element which vaporises the vape juice in your pod, turning it into an aerosol
An aerosol or vapour is produced that can be inhaled to deliver nicotine vapour straight to your mouth
