Best Quit Smoking Kits

The NHS has named vaping one of the most effective tools for quitting smoking. Yet with a broad range of vaping products available, choosing the right vape kit can be overwhelming for beginners.

If you're ready to make the transition from smoking to vaping but aren't quite sure where to start, you're in the right place. In this guide, we'll help you find the ideal quit-smoking kit to kickstart your smoke-free journey.

What is Vaping?

Vaping is the action of using an e-cigarette to produce a vapour. E-cigarettes don't burn tobacco and do not produce smoke. Instead, they heat e-liquids comprised of nicotine, food-grade flavourings, propylene glycol (PG) and vegetable glycerin (VG) to produce vapour.

Since vaping eliminates the combustion process present in traditional cigarettes, e-cigarette users are not exposed to many of the harmful chemicals and toxins found within tobacco smoke. As a result, vaping is considered to be 95% less harmful than smoking by Public Health England.

Quit-Smoking Kits: Our Top Picks

The best quit-smoking kits are straightforward and uncomplicated for new vapers to get to grips with. Offering a satisfying vaping experience without the complexity of more advanced setups, cigalikes and pod vape kits remain amongst the two most popular vape kits for beginners.

OK Cigalike Starter Kit

The OK Cigalike Starter Kit is the ideal quit-smoking kit for those who are completely new to the world of vaping. Simple in style and familiar in design, cigalikes closely resemble a traditional cigarette to make the transition from smoking to vaping incredibly simple.

Like with a cigarette, the OK Cigalike should first be inhaled into the mouth where the vapour collects in the mouth before being breathed fully into the lungs. This is referred to as a mouth-to-lung (MTL) inhalation style, and it is very similar to the experience of smoking a cigarette.

The OK Cigalike Starter Kit includes everything you need to start your quit-smoking journey including a rechargeable battery, USB charger and refills. The cigalike system utilises pre-filled cartridges to make refilling a breeze.

The quit-smoking kit is available in two flavours - Tobacco and Menthol - to replicate the familiar flavour of cigarettes. Better still, the rechargeable cigalike is available in a range of nicotine strengths to help you quit smoking for good.

OK Pod Starter Kit

The OK Pod Starter Kit is another excellent choice for beginners, featuring a sleek and simple design that's easy to use. With its compact and portable design, the OK Pod is well-loved by vapers of all experience levels and is the ideal quit-smoking kit for vapers who are always on the move.

Like the OK Cigalike, the OK Pod provides a mouth-to-lung (MTL) vape that most closely resembles the experience of smoking a cigarette. Vapour should first be inhaled into the mouth and then the lungs.

The OK Pod Starter Kit includes everything you need to get started, including a rechargeable battery, replacement cartridges, and a USB charger. The OK Pod system utilises pre-filled pods that click into place for the ultimate ease.

The quit-smoking kit is available in a range of flavours including Golden Tobacco and Menthol to replicate the familiar flavour of cigarettes along with Blackcurrant, Berry Mint, Strawberry and Mint Cream. OK Pod refills are also available in two nicotine strengths - 18mg and 12mg - to help gradually reduce your nicotine intake.

Both the OK Cigalike and the OK Pod are simple and effective options in supporting ex-smokers in swapping to stop. When choosing the best quit-smoking kit for your unique needs, consider:

Both the OK Cigalike and the OK Pod are affordably priced to support ex-smokers in stopping smoking, regardless of budget.

Smoking habits

Nicotine strength is another important factor to consider when choosing a quit-smoking kit. Think about your current nicotine intake and choose a kit with a nicotine strength that matches or closely resembles what you're used to—more info on that in our nicotine strength guide.

Many vaping devices offer a range of nicotine options, allowing you to tailor your vaping experience to your individual needs:

  • OK Cigalike Cartridges: 20mg, 18mg, 12mg, 6mg and 0mg
  • OK Pod Refills: 18mg and 12mg

Lifestyle

The final aspect to consider is your lifestyle. If you're constantly on the go, you'll want to invest in a quit-smoking kit that's compact and lightweight, making it easy to carry with you. In this case, look for slim, pocket-sized devices that won't weigh you down or take up too much space in your bag or pocket.

The OK Cigalike and the OK Pod are designed with convenience in mind. Portable and lightweight, both vape kits are ideal for on-the-go vaping.

  • OK Cigalike: a similar shape and size to a tobacco cigarette
