One of the great things about the vaping world is that whatever your preference, you can find a device that perfectly suits your needs. Some vapers like bulky sub-ohm kits, but others may want something small and discreet.
If you’re in the latter camp, you’ve come to the right place for expert recommendations. In this blog, we will discuss what benefits you get from discreet vapes and why you may want to opt for them; plus, we’ll show you some of our top picks for the best prefilled and refillable compact vape kits.
Let’s get started!
What Makes a Vape Kit Compact and Discreet?
When we talk about compact and discreet vapes, we mean they’re easy to carry around and typically draw less attention in public. What you’ll find is many compact vapes, skip screens and buttons. This makes them simple to use, and there’s no fuss involved.
One great benefit of a small vape is that it can be easily slipped into your pocket or bag without any bulk. Plus, setting up or maintaining is simple with either prefilled or refillable options.
With all these advantages, you have an easy-to-use device that discretely delivers an enjoyable mouth-to-lung vaping experience with minimal clouds and maximum flavour.
Many vapers find compact vapes a natural shift from disposables. While disposables are very popular thanks to their small stature, they will be banned in the UK from June 2025. This means there really is no better time than now to try out pod vape kits.
On the topic of disposables, these small vapes are the perfect way to enjoy the familiar pocket-friendly size and popular flavours with the added flexibility of recharging, refilling and replacing pods.
Best Compact Vape Kits
If you’re after a vape that’s easy to use and slips effortlessly into your pocket, you’re in luck. We’ve rounded up some of the best compact vape kits, perfect for those always on the go.
1. SKE Crystal CL6000 Prefilled Pod Vape Kit
Let’s kick things off with the SKE Crystal CL6000 prefilled pod vape kit. This kit is perfect for vapers who want a long-lasting device without constant refills. It boasts an 800mAh battery and can deliver an impressive 6000 puffs!
The Crystal CL6000 uses a 2ml mesh coil pod cartridge and a clever 10ml prefilled, automatic refill tank. This means you can keep the pod topped up without any mess. It has an auto-draw function, too, meaning there aren’t any buttons or screens to fiddle around with – start inhaling and enjoy every puff, and when you’re out of juice, you can just get replacement prefilled pods.
2. Vaporesso Deliciu Mate Prefilled Pod Vape Kit
Are you looking for a pod kit that’s as compact as it is sleek? The Vaporesso Deliciu Mate prefilled pod kit is here to impress! As part of Vaporesso’s award-winning XROS series, this kit has an 800mAh battery that recharges quickly via USB Type-C. Their prefilled pods are packed with flavourful 20mg nic salt e-liquid, offering tasty options like Raspberry Key Lime and Pineapple Ice. This device is so simple to use, boasting auto-draw activation. Another benefit? It’s compatible with the entire XROS pod range if you fancy upgrading to refillable cartridges.
3. SMOK Mavic Pro RF Pod Vape Kit
Next on our list is the SMOK Mavic Pro RF pod vape kit. Whilst it may be small in size, you’ll be amazed at this device’s 1000mAh battery. This pod vape kit is fitted with SMOK’s smart DCoil-AI 6.0 chipset, providing up to 30W of power and brilliant flavour consistency. And again, there’s no worry about any buttons to press or a screen to check – just fill up your pod and vape away. Extra tip: SMOK’s nic salt range perfectly suits the pod's 0.8Ω coils.
4. Nevoks APX S2 Pod Vape Kit
Another device with a 1000mAh battery is the Nevoks APX S2 pod vape kit. Key features of this product include a 2ml capacity and mesh coil technology. This device is a hit with our beginner-level customers because of its ease of use and sleek style. Another alluring factor is that it is fully compatible with the APX S1 pod series. All you have to do for airflow control is switch around the pod in the battery device to choose between a small and large airhole for a tighter or smoother inhale.
5. Elf Bar 1200 Prefilled Pod Vape Kit
The Elf Bar 1200 prefilled pod kit is another firm favourite with our customers. Boasting a 650mAh battery and rapid Type-C charging, expect to enjoy up to 1200 puffs from this device. The two replaceable, prefilled pods (2ml each) come in various flavours, like mango, lemon-lime and kiwi passion fruit guava. We mean it when we say there’s something for every taste! And like all the others, this device also has an auto-draw function, making it as easy to use as its disposable counterpart, the popular Elf Bar 600.
6. Vaporesso XROS Cube Pod Vape Kit
