We’ve used a mix of personal experience and sales data to compile our top picks, so this collection isn’t just based on what we love, it’s based on what you love too.
Of course, there’s a great range of other vapes below too, so if neither of these “box style” kits appeal to you, keep reading.

Best refillable pod and tank vape kits
Choosing a favourite refillable vape pod or tank kit is incredibly tricky these days, given the sheer number of fantastic devices out there. One of those aforementioned devices is the Mavro Pro.
Best refillable pod vape: Mavro Pro
| Kit Type | Pod Vape Kit |
| Battery | 1600mAh |
| Pod Type | Fixed Coil |
| Key Feature | Dual Coil mode, for more intense flavour, or battery conservation. |
The Mavro Pro is an incredible device if you want a customisable experience in a relatively small and easy-to-understand form factor. It features a Dual Mode setting that activates two mesh coils, for an even more flavourful pull. Not only that, but you can adjust your wattage for both Dual and Single Modes, allowing you to dial in your vaping experience exactly how you like it.
The Mavro Pro offers a large 1600mAh battery, facilitating all-day vaping – which is arguably one of its best features. This device will easily last well over a day of constant use. That said, the battery will drain faster in Dual Mode.
The Mavro Pro is comfortable to hold and is encompassed by synthetic leather. It's fairly lightweight for a "box mod"- style device, but not so much that it feels cheap. The controls are intuitive, there's only one button that doubles as a roller, and a mechanical airflow slider. You can use the slider to provide a range between airy and restricted pulls.
Best refillable tank vape: arc GT2
| Kit type | Open Tank Kit |
| Battery | 3200mAh |
| Pod Type | Replaceable Coil |
| Key Feature | Informational display, button lock, USB-C fast charge |
The arc GT2 is our newest release, and it’s already earned its spot as our pick for best tank vape. It’s the first high-end arc device built around the GTL atomizer head range, and it’s clear a lot of thought went into it, right down to the metal and glass tank, which feels a genuine step up from a lot of what’s out there at this price point.
Powered by a substantial 3200mAh battery, the biggest on this list, the arc GT2 will comfortably see you through two to three days of use, depending on how heavy a vaper you are. When you do need to top it up, it charges via USB-C at up to 2.0A, so you’re not left waiting around.
Where the arc GT2 really stands out is the level of control it gives you. You can adjust wattage across a wide 5-80W range, and it’s compatible with any GTL atomizer head between 0.2 and 3.0ohm, so you can properly tailor the vape to how you like it. Once you’ve found your sweet spot, the multifunctional lock switch lets you secure your settings in place, so there’s no risk of it getting knocked about in a pocket or bag.
It’s comfortable to hold too, as we stated in our review, with a reassuring weight that feels built to last, and the 2ml tank fills via a quick, mess-free sliding top-fill mechanism. If you want a tank kit that gives you genuine flexibility without becoming a hassle to live with, the arc GT2 is well worth adding to your shortlist.
Best pen-style: Tornado GTL
| Kit Type | Open Tank Kit |
| Battery | 1600mAh |
| Pod Type | Replaceable Coil |
| Key Feature | 3 power settings, 2.0A USB-C fast charge |
The Tornado GTL is one of the most popular tank vapes that we have. It features a massive 1600mAh battery (much like the Mavro Pro), which enables extended vaping sessions between charges. This is another kit that will absolutely last over a day of heavy use.
One of the major features of the Tornado GTL is its adaptability; it has three power modes (Low, Medium, High) which cater to your personal preference. If you want a more intense flavour, kick the Tornado into high and experience a fuller vape. Want to conserve battery life and have a more muted flavour? Low might be the way to go.
The Tornado GTL is compatible with a range of GTL coils (from 0.4ohm to 1.2ohm), bringing sub-ohm vaping to an accessible, easy-to-use format.
This device is also incredibly comfortable to hold, fiddle with, and carry. It's more akin to the traditional "pen-style" of vape, feeling a little more familiar if you're used to cigarettes or disposables.
Best all-around vape: Aeromax Boost
| Kit Type | Pod Vape Kit |
| Battery | 1300mAh battery |
| Tank Type | Fixed Coil |
| Key Feature | Adjustable wattage. |
The Aeromax Booxt is the successor to the ever-popular Aeromax, and for good reason. It features a very respectable 1300mAh battery, which isn't quite as large as some of the offerings in this list. However, isn't a downside at all, as it allows the device to be a little lighter. Regardless, the capacity is more than enough to last you a full day with moderate-to-heavy usage.
This device comes with the Aero Boost pods, which are side-filled for convenience, and available in a variety of resistances. The side fill mechanism means you don't need to remove the pod from the vape when filling. When you're firing, not filling, the Areomax Boost also features dual mesh coils, which deliver more intense flavour at the cost of using more liquid. You can always use the device in single-coil mode if you want to conserve liquid.
Compatibility is built into the heart of the Aeromax Boost, as multiple pods can be used with a variety of devices, such as the Aeromax and IVeni. However, some pods do not allow for dual-coil mode.
The Aeromax Boost comes in a variety of different colours to match any aesthetic. Opt for the ombre blue and pink, or go sleek and stealthy with block black.
Best for simplicity: flex Pro Bar
| Kit Type | Pod Vape Kit |
| Battery | 900mAh |
| Pod Type | Fixed Coil |
| Key Feature | Compatible with pre-filled or refillable pods. |
The flex Pro is designed specifically for one thing: simplicity. The device can be used with either pre-filled pods packed with VLTZ flavour or a refillable pod for your preferred liquid. With a 2ml capacity, the flex Pro easily facilitates all-day vaping.
Speaking of all-day vaping, the flex Pro features a 900mAh battery, which isn't quite up there with some of the other picks in this list, but it will last all day if you're a light-to-moderate vaper. Thankfully, the flex Pro charges via USB-C and is compatible with 1A fast chargers, minimising downtime between charges.
Flavour intensity is maintained with constant-voltage technology, ensuring consistent flavour from the first drop to the last.
This device is comfortable to hold and feels great in the hand; it's thin and very lightweight, so it isn't an annoyance to carry around. Its traditional "pen style" design makes it ideal for satisfying those mechanical cravings – if you're trying to quit altogether.
Best for enthusiasts: arc 5
| Kit Type | Open Tank Kit |
| Battery | 2200mAh |
| Pod Type | Replaceable Coil |
| Key Feature | Heavily customisable. |
The arc 5 is perfect if you're looking for something a little more customizable. This kit features a tank-and-coil setup, which is slightly more involved and technical than a traditional pod system. The tank holds 1.8ml of e-liquid but features a 1.5 ohm atomiser head, which uses less liquid.
Powered by a 2200mAh battery, the arc 5 has the largest capacity on the list. Capable of around 10 hours of heavy vaping. Your results will vary, but it will last a little longer if you're a more reserved vaper.
Wattage can be adjusted to dial in your preference. A higher wattage will demand more vapour from the arc 5, but a lower wattage will produce a smoother vape and conserve battery life. The maximum wattage is set to 40W, which is on the higher end of current, but it's nothing the CS vape coils can't handle.
The arc 5 proudly features an OLED screen, displaying useful information such as battery life and current wattage – never leaving you guessing if your next pull is going to be exactly the way you like it.
The box mod style is a little bulkier to carry around, and with such a large battery, it is on the heavier side. But we really like the way the arc 5 feels in the hand. It's built to last, and could easily be your next daily driver.
Honourable mentions
Here’s our list of vapes that deserve a nod but didn't quite take the top spots. That said, they are still well worth consideration.
Lumina
| Kit Type | Pod Vape Kit |
| Battery | 1100mAh |
| Pod Type | Fixed Coils |
| Key Feature | Digital screen with smart wattage setting |
The Lumina is worth a mention among the best refillable pod and tank vape kits. What it does particularly well is balancing customisation with ease of use. It features a digital screen that displays useful information, such as battery life, puff counter, and current wattage, so you never have to wonder whether your next vape will be exactly how you like it.
Smart technology means the Lumina detects which pod you've inserted (be that an LX or flex Pro pod) and automatically suggests a wattage based on that pod's resistance. Power is supplied by a respectable 1100mAh battery, enabling all-day vaping – all controlled by a single button.
VLTZ re:fuel 2
| Kit Type | Pod Vape Kit |
| Battery | 800mAh |
| Pod Type | Fixed Coil |
| Key Feature | Simple, inhale-to-activate device. |
The VLTZ re:fuel 2 is certainly a device well worth being a daily driver; it features an 800mAh battery with a constant 3.4V output, a fixed-coil pod system, and a side-fill port for convenience. Everything about the re:fuel 2 is buttonless, perfectly encapsulating simplicity. It is the ultimate lightweight "vape and go" device. Once the coil wears out, just replace the entire pod. No need for fiddly coil changes.
What are refillable pod vape kits?
Refillable pod vape kits feature a rechargeable battery and a refillable pod that you can fill with your own e-liquid. This gives you the freedom to choose any flavour and nicotine strength you prefer. They differ from pre-filled pods, as you're usually committed to a particular nicotine strength or flavour.
Generally, there are two main types of refillable kits. These are pod kits, and tank kits (with replaceable coil).
- Pod kits: These devices feature a refillable pod with a built-in coil. When the coil is finished, you replace the entire pod.
- Tank kits: These are devices that use a tank-and-coil system; they are separate units. When the coil is burnt out, you keep the tank and replace the coil.
You'll often see the terms pods and tanks thrown around a lot, but they are not the same thing. Pods are usually plastic and designed to be disposable for ease of use. Tank kits, on the other hand, are generally glass and contain a separate coil.
Conclusion
We've selected the Mavro Pro as the best all-around refillable pod kit for its ease of use and plethora of customisation options. However, any of the kis in this list would make for a fantastic daily driver. They all excel in different areas, be that simplicity, customisation, or outright performance – there's a refillable pod kit here for you.
