A few years ago a vaping related gift may have been a rather niche market. But with the ever-expanding nature of our industry, this doesn’t seem as much so in the present day.
In the UK especially, we’ve seen the industry grow in rapid succession over the past few years, with vape devices now being commonplace in a lot of households.
If you’re in the market for a vape oriented present but have no idea where to start, we’ve got you covered. We’ve compiled a list of the top 10 vape gifts which pander to both newcomers and those who’ve already begun their journey in the world of vaping.
Let’s dive in at number one…
- A starter kit
An e-cigarette starter kit could be a massively thoughtful gift for your partner, even if they’re already active vapers. We should all be familiar with the enjoyment that comes with a brand new piece of kit, now think how nice it would be to extend that feeling unto your significant other.
Starter kits nowadays are refined beyond belief in all aspects, from the functionality to the sleek, modern take on the designs. Even vapers of advanced experience levels can benefit from owning a more low-key, portable device for, as an example, use in more crowded areas where it may not be wise to be blowing massive clouds into the air. And yes, we know a crowded area is quite literally the last place anyone will find themselves currently, but it’s good to be prepared, yes?
Another reason a starter kit is perfect is that it contains all the ingredients for a well-rounded gift. First, pick your kit which can be personalised by way of the colour you choose. Then you can further personalise the gift by selecting which e-liquid(s) will come with the kit. You know your partner better than anyone, so go for something that will evoke an emotional response. Maybe a flavour with shared nostalgic sentiment attached to it, or something a little more conventional, like a Candy Hearts by Love Potion?
2. A DIY Mixing Kit
Now, on the other end of the spectrum, we have DIY mixing kits. This is a product we specialise in, having helped vast numbers of vapers cut their expenses down by mixing their favourite recipes in bulk quantities, rather than constantly resupplying with individual 10ml bottles. It’s not all about the savings, though. Mixing is fun and can quickly turn into a hobby for many, making it an ideal gift.
This type of present is geared towards those who have previous experience with vaping and are looking to take that next step. Check out our DIY E-Liquid Starter Kits which contain every ingredient and tool you’ll need to get started, all in a neat little package. All you’ll need to worry about is selecting which flavour concentrates your significant other would be most fond of, and you’re all set.
3. Find a new all-day-vape contender
If you’re partner vapes, chances are you’ll know what types of flavours their most into and maybe even that one they can’t get enough of… their all-day-vape (ADV). Well, with a bit of brainstorming you might just be able to win over them and their taste buds by honing in on a brand new all day vape.
This is harder said than done as we all know how strong the attachment can be to a particular flavour. I found it very hard to sway from the classic Sherbet Lemon flavour for many months as nothing else I tried gave me that same level of fondness. The problem with vaping one flavour religiously is that you’re bound to end up suffering from vaper’s tongue which can mute the flavour so much it’ll hardly be able to be tasted at all. However, upon recommendation, I became fond of an Orang-O-Tang blend which was a close contender for my ADV. Having two flavours I was equally as fond of meant I can alternate between the two every time I can feel vaper’s tongue kicking in.
4. Bundle packs
If you’ve looked at the previous point and thought there’s no chance you’re going to be able to hone in on a specific flavour, well, here’s the next best thing. Why not treat your significant other to a bundle pack of flavours in which they can sift through a bunch of different flavour profiles. This could increase your chance of success tenfold, compared to if you’d put all your eggs in one basket with a single flavour choice.
We’ll save you a few clicks and point you in the right direction: check out the Absolute Zero and Fizziology bundle packs which contain all ten flavours from each collection in individual 10ml bottles, so you can sample every flavour variation and hopefully find the one that speaks to you.
There are a lot of similar deals out there, so go have a scan and see what’s currently on the market!
5. Nic salts
Nicotine salts (nic salts for short) have been a hot product for a while now, but if our order sheets are anything to go off, a lot of our customers are yet to delve into this new area. In case you’re unaware of them, nic salts are developed for those looking to vape higher concentrations of nicotine while retaining a smooth draw; which can be tricky to achieve with traditional freebase e-liquids. Nic salts provide a faster nicotine hit which in turn curbs cravings at a quicker rate, within just a few puffs typically.
If you think nic salts could be the perfect fit for your partner, why not use our store as a starting off point? We stock a wide and varied range of the most in-demand flavours on the market. A lot of the most beloved e-liquid flavours have already had a rebirth in nic salt form, meaning you can pick up right where you left off, tastewise.
6. A sub-ohm kit
A lot of vapers may still not be aware of what “sub-ohm” actually refers to in a piece of kit. Put simply, it allows the user to adjust the voltage rates within vapes, which previously would’ve been fixed at a specific intensity. This helps to creates more vapour and better flavour in each hit. Vapers can alternate between settings and find that sweet spot for each flavour.
We recommend an upgrade to sub-ohm kits to intermediate to advanced vape users who you would consider to be ready for a step up. If you’re purchasing on behalf of someone who falls into the novice/newcomers category, we’d recommend a device in the following section…
7. A Vape Pen
Pen-style vape devices are the most popular out there, largely due to their simple functionality, portability, sleek design, etc. They should be the first port of call for anyone looking to purchase their first vape device, or in this case, purchasing on behalf of someone who’s yet to start.
Although they are typically geared towards newcomers, they can also come in handy to the more experienced users as they offer an alternative device to alternate between depending on your environment. For instance, if you’re in a public place, it might be not be all too desirable to be blowing huge clouds of vapour into the air. Moments like these are when a quick switch over to your pen device could make the world of difference.
8. Voopoo Argus X Mod
One of the latest pieces of kit to hit our shelves is the Argus X Mod Pod Kit. It boasts a very stylish and compact design which comes in multiple variations, from carbon fibre to denim outer.
This is a device that can be a perfect fit for vapers of all experience levels, from newcomers to seasoned vapers, there’s a lot to love in this device. Simply pick yourself up a 18650 battery to accompany the device, and you’re all set. For a limited time only, you’ll also receive a free shortfill from our Vapable Signature collection with all orders; and that just so happens to be a segue into our next section…
9. Vapable Signature range
Firstly, excuse us for the shameless bit of self-promotion in this list, but we’re certain our number 9 spot is well-deserving of our next recommendation: the all-new Vapable Signature collection. So, we entered the New Year with a lot of ideas under our belt regarding a new range of flavours. Over the next few months, you’ll be seeing our ideas coming to fruition as we’ll be releasing many new mouth-watering flavours which have been expertly crafted by our in-house team.

10. DIY Coil Building Kit
Our final suggestion is geared towards experienced vapers, those specifically who enjoy constantly tinkering with their devices. To that end, if you want to give said person a gift that’ll offer them further control over the maintenance of their device, a coil building kit could be ideal.
You’ll find many variations of these tool kits online, but we’d recommend our kit which contains everything you’ll need to get started with DIY coil building, all neatly organised within an easy to carry travel pouch. Treat this kit with care and it’s the only one you’ll ever need. If you’d like to view our step-by-step guide on coil building, please click here.
And that’s me fresh out of ideas. If you’ve turned to this list in time a time of confusion, we hope that we’ve helped to open your eyes to a few products you might not have thought of yourself. Vaping is truly a life-changing gift and can improve someone’s quality of life massively; just always be wary of who you’re gifting it to and if it’s appropriate.
