Are you a smoker looking to make the switch to vaping? With the vast range of options available, choosing the best vape to quit smoking with can be daunting. Don’t worry, we are here to guide you through choosing the best vape for your personal needs.
The best vape for quitting smoking is subjective and there's no 'one size fits all' option. Every smoker and vaper is different and you may prefer certain features and functionality. However, with a bit of reflection on your requirements, you can quickly narrow down your options.
Why Do You Want to Quit Smoking With a Vape?
The first thing to ask yourself is, why are you choosing a vape to quit smoking? The most common reason will be for the harm reduction compared with cigarettes. The NHS states that vaping "poses a small fraction of the risk of smoking cigarettes" and explains that "E-cigarettes do not produce tar or carbon monoxide, two of the most harmful elements in tobacco smoke." The NHS also actively encourages vapes to help smokers quit and the UK government has committed to a 'Swap to Stop' campaign whereby one million smokers will be offered a free vape kit.
Beyond the health reasons, there are also other benefits of vaping over smoking. If any of the following reasons apply to you, then they may have a bearing on your best vape to quit smoking with.
- Cost savings
- Enjoy strong flavours
- Convenience and Ease of use
- Reduce nicotine strength and become nicotine free
We'll work through the reasons and hand-pick some vapes which should help you on your quit smoking journey.

The Best Vape to Quit Smoking For Convenience and Simplicty
If you're after a hassle-free but effective experience when quitting smoking, these vapes are for you. There's limited maintenance involved and little room for error.
Disposable vapes
The obvious convenient choice to go for would be disposables. However, they do have drawbacks in terms of cost and their environmental impact. When opting for disposable vapes to curb your smoking habit then please return them to your local Totally wicked store or recycling points so they can be recycled responsibly.
For vapers who like sweet flavours, Elf Bars and Lost Marys are a popular choice. There's a huge range of flavours and they provide a reliable experience. If you prefer more traditional flavours, the Totally Wicked disposable vape pen is the one to go for. This disposable vape features UK made e-liquid which is produced in Lancashire.
Pre-filled pods
Pre-filled pod systems remove the need to change atomizer heads or refill with e-liquid. They consist of a rechargeable battery and pods which are already filled with e-liquid. Once the pods run dry, dispose of it responsibly and a insert a new pod.
If you like strong, sweet flavours similar to those experienced in disposables, the VLTZ Flex is a great option. If you prefer more traditional flavours like tobacco or menthol then the Totally Wicked byte is the pre-filled pod to choose.
Choosing the Best Vape to Quit Smoking and Reduce Nicotine Strength
Not only can vapes help you quit smoking, they also allow you to reduce your nicotine strength. This can ultimately allow you to become nicotine free. E-liquids come in different strengths which many vapers reduce over time. This can be achieved with any device but is more suited to devices with adjustable wattage. A slight increase in power output, as you decrease your nicotine strength, is a good way to ease the process.
Arc Impact
The arc Impact has numerous features but remains incredibly simple to use. It has adjustable wattage from 1 - 40W so you can tinker to find your ideal wattage for your e-liquid strength. It looks the part and has handy features like sliding top fill and quick charging to make vaping a breeze.
Tornado GTL
The Tornado GTL has the popular pen-style format but also has three power modes. As well as allowing you to change your output level, this device excels in terms of ease of use, value and aesthetics. Now proving itself as one of Totally Wicked's most popular vapes, the Tornado GTL is a great choice.

Do you like the look of a box style vape with adjustable power but want something a little more compact? The arc Mini is a firm favourite among Totally Wicked vapers and has certainly stood the test of time. This vape has up to 20W of adjustable power with CS atomizer heads and a screen to show your settings. It has helped countless smokers quit over the years and continues to be popular among all types of vapers.
Remember, you can reduce your nicotine strength with any refillable e-cigarette. If this is your plan, go for an e-liquid with a lot of different strengths, like Red Label.
