Beginner’s Vape Guide – Start Your Journey the Right Way

Are you new to vaping and looking for a beginner’s vape guide that makes everything simple? Thinking about switching from disposable vapes to something better, cheaper, and longer-lasting? You’re in the right place. This complete beginner-friendly guide by Trendy Vapes Milton Keynes will walk you through everything you need to know about refillable vapes, vape kits, e-liquids, nicotine salts, coils, and maintenance—so you can start vaping the right way.

Whether you’re a smoker looking to quit cigarettes or someone fed up with the rising costs of disposable vapes, this guide covers every step of your vaping journey.

🚭 Why Make the Switch from Disposable Vapes?

If you’ve been relying on disposable vapes, you’ve probably already noticed the drawbacks. Not only are disposable vapes expensive in the long run, but the UK disposable vape ban is coming into force soon, which means millions of vapers are now switching to refillable vape kits.

Here’s why making the switch makes sense:

  • ✅ Cheaper to run – A bottle of e-liquid costs far less than constantly buying disposables.

  • ✅ Better performance and longer battery life – Refillable vape kits last much longer.

  • ✅ More flavours and nicotine options – Choose from hundreds of e-liquids, nic salts, and shortfills.

  • ✅ Eco-friendly vaping – Reduce waste and help the environment.

By switching to refillable vapes, you’ll save money, enjoy better flavour, and be prepared for the UK ban on disposable vapes.

🧰 What You’ll Need to Start Vaping

Starting your vape journey doesn’t have to be complicated. To begin with a refillable vape kit, you’ll need:

  1. A vape kit – Choose a simple pod kit or a starter vape kit.

  2. E-liquid – Select your favourite vape juice flavour and the right nicotine strength.

  3. Replacement coils/pods – Coils need replacing every 1–2 weeks for fresh flavour.

  4. (Optional) Nicotine shots – If using shortfill e-liquids, you’ll need to add nic shots.

🔍 Choosing the Right Vape Kit

One of the biggest questions new vapers have is: Which vape kit is right for me?

For beginners, the best choice is either a pod kit or a starter kit:

  • Pod Kits – Compact, lightweight, and easy to use. Perfect for everyday carry. Popular options include the Uwell Caliburn and Vaporesso XROS.

  • Starter Kits – A little more powerful, with more control over airflow and wattage. Great examples include the Voopoo Argus and SMOK Nord.

👉 Important tip: Avoid sub-ohm kits if you’re just starting your vaping journey. They’re designed for advanced users and produce much bigger clouds than most beginners need.

💨 Picking the Right Nicotine Strength

One of the most important decisions for new vapers is choosing the right nicotine strength. If you pick too little, your cravings won’t be satisfied. Too much, and you might find it overwhelming.

Here’s a simple guide:

Cigarette Usage Suggested Nicotine Strength
1–5 cigarettes per day 5–10mg (low strength)
5–15 cigarettes per day 10–15mg (medium strength)
15+ cigarettes per day 18–20mg (high strength)

For most beginners, nicotine salts are the best option. Nic salts provide a smoother throat hit and faster nicotine absorption, which makes them perfect for satisfying cravings without the harshness of traditional freebase nicotine.

💧 Choosing Your E-Liquid Type

Once you’ve chosen your vape kit and nicotine strength, the next step is deciding which e-liquid type is right for you.

  • Nic Salts – The most popular choice for new vapers. Smooth, fast-acting, and perfect for managing cravings.

  • Freebase 10ml – Offers a stronger throat hit, more like traditional cigarettes.

  • Shortfills – Larger bottles that come nicotine-free. Add a nic shot to customise your strength. These are excellent value for money and ideal for frequent vapers.

With hundreds of flavours to choose from—including fruity, menthol, dessert, and tobacco—you’ll never run out of options.

🧽 How to Maintain Your Vape Kit

To keep your vape kit working perfectly, it’s important to follow some simple maintenance steps:

  • 🔋 Charge your vape kit safely using the provided USB cable.

  • 💧 Refill your e-liquid before the tank runs completely dry (ideally when it’s ¼ full).

  • 🔄 Replace your coil every 1–2 weeks for the best flavour and performance.

  • 🧼 Clean your pod or tank regularly with a tissue to prevent build-up.

By maintaining your vape device, you’ll get the best possible performance, flavour, and battery life.
