Best Vape Kits of 2018

With so many exciting developments in the vaporizer industry over recent years, 2018 was looking to be a groundbreaking one. So far, the results have not disappointed! Elite manufacturers have been doing what they’ve always done – deliver exceptional quality vapes in evermore attractive platforms. But a strong development has been the introduction of new manufacturers and offerings.

While the best vaping kits of 2018 feature a who’s who of the “usual suspects,” we’re also seeing these newcomers flex their muscles. Improving technologies lead to tremendous cost efficiencies, lowering the barrier to entry. And though the vaping industry has always been ultra competitive, there’s always room for paradigm-shifting innovations and fresh perspectives.

That said, don’t expect vape manufacturers to throw all standards and expectations overboard. The best vaping kits of 2018 have earned their spot on our list because they deliver what matters most to enthusiasts: power, performance, practicality, and highly desirable aesthetics. Also, all of the featured vaporizer kits are reasonably priced, allowing any enthusiast to jump onboard.

So without any further delay, here are the Best Vaping Kits of 2018!

 

Best Vaping Kits of 2018: SMOK Mag Kit

The Best Vaping Kits 2018No compilation of the top names in vaping kits would be complete without mentioning the now iconic SMOKtech. The SMOK brand is one of the few in all of business that has become synonymous with their industry. Invariably, both new and veteran vapers will at one point pick up a SMOKtech product, and their latest SMOK Mag Kit demonstrates why. Quite literally in the upper echelons of the best vaping kits of 2018, the SMOK Mag Kit represents a new perspective in the cloud-chasing arts. Modeled after a firearm’s pistol grip, the Mag Mod is an exquisitely designed device, with beautifully asymmetric curves and undulating lines riveting throughout the chassis. As well, the SMOK Mag Kit’s included TFV12 Prince Sub-Ohm Tank provides the perfect aesthetic accent.

As you might expect, the ergonomics are simply world-class. The pistol grip “molds” into your palm, while the trigger button is intuitively placed at the top of the mod. And just like in a real handgun, there’s a release button that extracts the battery component (which is shaped like an ammunition magazine) when depressed.

But make no mistake about it – despite its attractive and marketable accoutrements, the SMOK Mag Kit is a true vaporizer system. The Mag provides a generously-sized, full-color OLED screen interface, providing you with critical information about your mod and your vaping sessions. Powering this incredible device are two high-amp external 18650 batteries (sold separately), ensuring that you’ll have plenty of juice to last you multiple sessions throughout the day.

While the SMOK Mag Kit is suitable for beginner vape enthusiasts, it’s clear that SMOKtech originally designed this device for the hardened cloud-chaser. The Mag rips out an astonishing wattage range, from 6W at the low to 225W at its maximum setting. Furthermore, it has a temperature range from 200F to 600F, facilitating the most complete spectrum for your sessions – no matter how casual or intense!

With so much power on tap, you need something an atomizer system that can accommodate those pressures. For this purposes, SMOKtech engineers brought in their legendary SMOK TFV12 Prince Sub-Ohm Tank. This little beast of an atomizer tank is fitted with two coils in the SMOK Mag Kit packaging: a 0.12-ohm V12 Prince-T10 Decuple Coils setup and a 0.4-ohm V12 Prince-Q4 Quadruple Coils arrangement.

Although both atomizer heads provide rip-roaring power, the true, uncompromising cloud-chaser will elect the V12 Prince-T10. With very little resistance, and a maximum power rating of 120W, this beastly coil veritably converts into a miniature smokestack!

The SMOK Mag Kit is hands down one of the best vaping kits of 2018, and perhaps for several more years down the line. Nevertheless, the one catch – if any – is that the Mag tends to be a little audacious for some folks. Vape enthusiasts that want the same conveniences and raw power of the Mag Kit but in a more manageable, compact format should check out the SMOK Mag Baby Kit.

Everything that vaping connoisseurs and critics love about the original, full-sized version is well-represented in the SMOK Mag Baby Kit. The only key differences is of course the Baby Kit’s smaller dimensions, as well as internal batteries as opposed to external. Furthermore, the Baby Kit includes the SMOK TFV12 Prince Baby Tank, which is perfectly calibrated for the smaller mod’s compact framework.

But no matter what choice you make, the SMOK Mag Kit, or the SMOK Mag Baby Kit, feature superior flavor profiles, excellent ergonomics, and most importantly, bold and outrageous cloud production!

2018 Best Vape KitsWhy It’s The Best:So many vape manufacturers claim product innovation; SMOKtech is one of the few that proves it consistently. The SMOK Mag Kit (along with its compact SMOK Mag Baby Kit) is a bold step forward in vape styling and fashion, while delivering exceptional performance and innovations.

 

Best Vaping Kits of 2018: Vaporesso Switcher Kit

Best Vape Kits 2018Ask any vape enthusiast what they love about our burgeoning industry, and inevitably, you’ll get around to the styling element. Let’s face it – analog platforms are boring affairs, and not only do they emit toxins from the combustion process, they all look (and generally taste) the same. Vaporizers, on the other hand, are a dramatic step forward in the fashionable department. But even with the abundance of aesthetic options, styling customization is somewhat limited. Up-and-coming vape manufacturer changed all that with the introduction of their latest Vaporesso Switcher Kit. Not only is the Switcher Kit a major paradigm-shift in the “box mod” format, it also features interchangeable and replaceable case panels for ultimate personalization. Now, if you get bored with your current setup, you can just simply switch out the panels for a whole new look; hence the name, “Switcher!”

However, this is no chintzy, poorly-built switch-and-hit vaporizer. The replaceable panels are quality built, and latch on with a tight, confident firmness. Furthermore, the Vaporeso Switcher Mod features superior ergonomics, with the panels featuring a grippy exterior that helps prevent damage due to accidental bumps and bruises. Also, they act as shock-absorbers, which increases overall resilience.

One of the top features of the Vaporesso Switcher Kit is the mod’s full-sized OLED screen interface. Providing you with all the critical data points that every enthusiasts requires, when in default mode, the Switcher displays a traditional clock face – it’s a perfect touch of class that sets the Switcher apart from the competition.

But the core of the Vaporesso Switcher is undoubtedly its OMNI Board 2.6 computer chip. A revolutionary jump in vaping technology, the OMNI Board facilitates graphical virtual keys, an “unlock” safety/security button, puff number statistics, and an overpower protection function. Best of all, these features can be accessed in a remarkably simple-to-use interface.

And thanks to the exceptional modularity and flexibility of the OMNI Board, the Vaporesso Switcher has an extensive array of performance metrics. Want outrageous power for equally outrageous cloud production? You can dial up the Switcher from a low of 5W to an astounding rating of 220W. Desire maximum temperature control? With the Switcher, you can elect from 200F to a blistering 600F.

Just like the elite sub-ohm vaping manufacturers, Vaporesso incorporates smart variable-wattage mode, and a bypass mode for superior end-user functionality. However, Vaporesso takes these technologies one step further by incorporating “curvature customization” in temperature and wattage settings. These modularity modes allow the vaper ultimate, unprecedented control in their sessions, making the Switcher Kit one of the best vaping kits of 2018.

Indeed, we have little room to accommodate all of the amazing features of the Vaporesso Switcher mod, and talking about them individually would leave no space on our list for the groundbreaking Vaporesso NRG Sub-Ohm Tank that’s included in this kit.

Utilizing a 26.5 mm diameter attachment point, the NRG is one of the top sub-ohm tanks in the retail market. It combines practicality with performance, making it an ideal choice for Switcher mod. For instance, the NRG has a 5.0 ml capacity e-liquid reservoir, which is more than enough for multiple robust sessions throughout the day. Additionally, the NRG integrates a proprietary slide-to-fill top-fill mechanism, making flavor reloads a snap.

Powering the Vaporesso Switcher Kit are two GT-series coils – the GT 4 0.15-ohm Dual Vertical Coil atomizer system, and the GT 8 0.15-ohm Quadruple Vertical Coil. The GT 4 is perfect for casual use and for the flavor-lover in all of us. It has a practical power range between 30W to 70W, making it particularly usable for beginners.

But those that really want to test the capacity of the Vaporesso NRG should elect the daunting GT 8. With a power rating that goes from 50W at the minimum to a soaring 110W, this bad boy delivers clouds like few other devices. However, the GT 8 also has significant utilitarian value as a “flavor extractor,” as the recommended range is between 60W to 80W, where the quadruple vertical coils perform superbly.

Best Vape Kits of 2018 ReviewsWhy It’s The Best:Vaporesso was once known as the new kid on the block, but with the latest Vaporesso Switcher Kit, this manufacturer has really come into its own. Featuring an astounding array of functionalities and innovations, you will surely never get tired of discovering what else the Switcher can do!

 

Best Vaping Kits of 2018: SMOK G-Priv 2 Luxe Edition

Best Vaping Kits 2018One of the defining qualities of an elite manufacturer is its consistent ability to push the envelope. Merely good companies are content with delivering the goods every once in a while; with names like SMOKtech, though, they thrive on setting their industry’s bar high. With the introduction of the SMOK G-Priv 2 Luxe Edition, the renowned vaping firm has veritably dropped the gauntlet!

Connoisseurs of the digital arts will recall the original G-Priv 2, which was a stunning advancement to the box mod format. Featuring a handsome, bezel-chassis, the first iteration ran with a full-sized OLED touch screen interface at the front, and a carbon fiber-esque panel at the rear. In a word, the G-Priv 2 was gorgeous. It also featured a mature, classic look that delightfully strayed from SMOKtech’s usual offerings of bold, audacious designs.

Now, fast forward to the SMOK G-Priv 2 Luxe Edition. Luxe, of course, denotes luxury, and this device is the quintessential representation of that word. In all seriousness, the G-Priv 2 Luxe Edition is just as comfortable sitting on a showpiece at a high-end, ultra-premium department store as it is inside your front pocket. Indeed, it’s almost a shame that the G-Priv 2 Luxe has to be used at all!

Incorporating the same bezel-chassis format, SMOKtech engineers revamped the aesthetics of the entire outer layer. Rather than a flat-color finish, the SMOK G-Priv 2 Luxe Edition instead has a glistening zinc-alloy base. Under any lighting condition, the colors from the Luxe simply pop, delivering a powerful, evocative impact, but without any unnecessary accoutrements. Moreover, the extra sheen provides other components, such as the two-inch color touch screen interface, the visual pizzazz they deserve.

As you would expect, the fit and finish is just immaculate. The included SMOK TFV12 Prince Tank sits flush with the Luxe, with absolutely zero unsightly overhang. Ergonomics are world class, with the fire button standing seamlessly with the mod’s lines along the sidewall. The G-Priv 2 Luxe Edition is also weighted perfectly, which is critical for long sessions on the road or away at the office.

Just as impressive are the Luxe Edition’s extensive performance metrics. This mod has an astonishing power range, for one. While other mods get by with narrow spectrums, the G-Priv 2 Luxe has a low of only 1W all the way up to a stunning 230W. If you’re schizophrenic and can’t decide between comfortable sessions or rip-roaring, cloud-bursting hammer drops, the G-Priv 2 is just for you!

Additionally, this revolutionary mod has a temperature range between 200F to 600F, and a minimum atomizer resistance rating of 0.06-ohms. To protect against overzealous vapers, the G-Priv 2 Luxe also integrates multiple safety features, including temperature and short-circuit protection, as well as mechanisms that prevent damage from over-currents, and inadequate or excessive voltage.

The question that’s on everyone’s mind, though, is whether or not the G-Priv 2 Luxe Edition is worth the premium over the standard G-Priv 2. Ultimately, that’s a decision that individual vapers will have to make. Objectively speaking, though, the G-Priv 2 Luxe Edition is only 23% higher than the standard variant; that amounts to just a $16 premium at VaporAuthority.com, which is well worth it considering the incredibly gorgeous platform that you’ll receive.

The Best Kits VapeWhy It’s The Best:The standard-version SMOK G-Priv 2 already lit up vaping journals; the SMOK G-Priv 2 Luxe Edition simply takes a breathtaking icon and makes it all the more better. With ridiculously handsome looks, and even more ridiculous power, the G-Priv 2 Luxe is not only one of the best vaping kits of 2018, it’s on track to be one of the best of all time!

 

Best Vaping Kits of 2018: Vaporesso Revenger X

Best Kits for Vaping 2018Initially starting off as a discounted alternative to the leading vape devices at the time, Vaporesso has developed into an innovator in their own right. Now, whenever the young upstart introduces a new product, the entire industry – and the competition – takes notice. But with their latest flagship Vaporesso Revenger X, they have adopted a no-holds barred attitude. There used to be a time when the leading manufacturers could just rehash an old design and call it a day. But thanks to the exceptional quality and raw power of devices like the Vaporesso Revenger X, those days are thankfully long gone. Leveraging an array of innovative features, end-user conveniences, and tremendous value for the dollar, the Revenger X sets a new standard in sub-ohm vape kits.

Let’s start with the mod’s lithe, tall stature. Unlike the plethora of box mods, the Revenger X is less than two inches wide, and has a depth of just over one inch. This flat profile allows the X to slide in anywhere. However, the mod itself is only 3.5 inches tall, giving it outstanding portability and practicality attributes.

Like other Vaporesso devices, the Revenger X is an exquisitely designed piece. Utilizing classic lines and smart, undulating curves, this mod stands apart from the gaudy products that often litter cheap vape shops. Instead, it lets its artistry do all the talking. Furthermore, the equally handsome and understated Vaporesso NRG Sub-Ohm Tank is the perfect aesthetic complement.

Powering the Revenger X are two external, high amperage 18650 batteries (sold separately) which are accessed by an ultra-convenient, magnetized door panel. This device is engineered for superior efficiency, meaning that you’ll be able to vape for multiple sessions throughout the day without requiring a recharge.

However, when that inevitable time comes, the Vaporesso Revenger X has a conveniently positioned micro-USB port; just plug into any laptop computer or portable electronic device, and you’re good to go. Furthermore, this mod is equipped with the company’s proprietary 2.5A quick-charge system, which results in lightning-quick battery replenishments, often in an hour or less.

As amazing as that feature is, one of the biggest attributes of the Vaporesso Revenger X Kit is its 0.96 inch OLED screen interface. Unlike almost every other interface system, the Revenger X integrates a unique capacitance touch pattern button, allowing for wattage adjustments and setting calibrations.

Furthermore, Vaporesso engineers included a haptic feedback system, which provides vape enthusiasts with critical data points via vibrations; this way, the enthusiast never has to look at his/her device to receive device information.

Of course, what really sells the Revenger X is its plethora of performance metrics, and that’s all made possible by Vaporesso’s groundbreaking OMNI Board 2.2 computer chip. The Revenger X has a stability of performance throughout its massive power and voltage spectrum. For instance, enthusiasts can elect from a power band from a low of 5W all the way up to a resounding 220W.

On the resistance end, vapers can choose from 0.05-ohms to 5.0-ohms, making the Revenger X an ideal platform for both direct-to-lung vaping, but also capable of delivering mouth-to-lung sessions. For voltage, the X can run anywhere between 0V to 8.5V. Also included is a smart variable voltage system that allows easy adjustments on the fly.

Capping off the brilliant Vaporesso Revenger X Kit are two class-leading NRG coils – a 0.15-ohm GT 4 Coil, and a 0.15-ohm GT 8 Coil. Both choices perfectly advantage the X’s limitless power and capacity, although the GT 4 is more appropriate for casual sessions due to its recommended 45W to 65W range.

For those that want the absolute best in rip-roaring performance, the NRG GT 8 is undoubtedly your top pick. Featuring a Quadruple Vertical Coil format, the power band goes from 50W to a blistering 110W, although 60W to 80W is the manufacturer’s recommendation.

Finally, the offerings that you receive for the money that you pay is unrivaled. The Vaporesso Revenger X simply has too many features and user conveniences that can be listed on a standard-sized article. It is, as you can imagine, worth every bit the hype that the kit has received!

Best Vape Kits 2018 ListWhy It’s The Best:The Vaporesso Revenger X is simply a contradiction – this is one of the very few kits you will find that is chock-full of innovations, core attributes, and vaper-specific functionalities that is priced at an unbelievably low rate. The X is setting new standards in the industry, easily making it one of the best vaping kits of 2018!

 

Best Vaping Kits of 2018: Wismec Reuleaux RX2 20700

2018 Best Vaping KitsDuring the vaping industry’s inception, devices were largely purpose-driven affairs: they worked to provide a digital platform for the cloud-chasing arts, and not much else. Years later, the flashy, trendy sub-ohm vaporizer with all the glitz and glamour is the new norm, and we may never go back to the simpler era. While that suits some vape enthusiasts just fine, some of the newer devices are much more weighted towards aesthetics, and not so much in the performance department. This is where the Wismec Reuleaux RX2 20700 Kit is a breath of fresh air. Focusing first and foremost on extracting uncompromising performance and reliability, the Reuleaux is a vaping throwback for all the right reasons.

Unlike so many of its competitors, the Wismec Reuleaux RX2 20700 is built upon a robust, sturdy framework. Engineers hardened the outer chassis, making it more durable to accidental bumps and bruises than rival product offerings. The Reuleaux was designed to be used in the field, and the quality craftmanship backs up this ethos.

Moreover, the Wismec Reuleaux Kit is incredibly compact. The RX2 mod stands at only 3.22 inches, making it one of the shortest mods in the market. With the GNOME Sub-Ohm Tank attached, the RX2 is just a hair under five inches. Also, the device is only 1.7 inches at the widest, meaning that anywhere you can fit a smartphone, you should be able to accommodate this Wismec device.

A unique feature in the RX2 20700 that is rarely found in any other vaporizer system is its dual battery format capacity. Unbelievably, the Reuleaux is compatible with both high-amperage 20700 batteries, as well as the usual standard 18650 batteries (both sold separately).

Should you ever find yourself in a situation where one type of battery is sold out, you have the option of using a completely different setup! In addition, the Wismec Reuleaux works brilliantly with either battery option, so what you elect is entirely up to you.

Both formats also produce enough capacity to last for multiple sessions throughout the day. But once the inevitable recharging is required, Wismec incorporates a 2A Maximum Charging system – you’ll find recharges with this device incredibly quick, especially compared to vaporizers in its category. You can rejoice with either a conveniently-located micro-USB portal, or you can take advantage of the RX2 20700’s slide-and-lock battery access door, which provides easy access for external charging purposes.

Performance-wise, the Reuleaux offers multiple options for the veteran enthusiast. First off, the Wismec integrated a new 200W chip set, which gives the RX2 20700 mod a power band from 1W to a maximum 200W. Included in this setup is a reverse polarity protection system, which helps prevent unwanted accidents and electrical discharges.

Further down the line, the Reuleaux features a full temperature control system, pumping out thermal ratings from 200F to 600F. Under temperature control mode, the user can save three memory modes, allowing for creative vaping sessions. Lastly, the Reuleaux mod has a resistance range from 0.05-ohms to 1.5-ohms.

Included in the Wismec Reuleaux Kit is the groundbreaking GNOME Sub-Ohm Tank, which features a 2.0 ml e-liquid reservoir tank, a retractable sliding top fill system, and full compatibility with the Wismec WM Coil line of atomizer heads.

The Reuleaux Kit includes two coils – the WM2 0.15-ohm coil, and the WM3 0.2-ohm coil. The WM2 is perfect for casual sessions, as well as stealing a few vapes during a hectic day at the office. With a recommended range between 45W to 60W, the WM2 utilizes a dual vertical coil setup that maximizes flavor profile and nuances.

The WM3 is for those that demand top performance from their vaporizers. Featuring a power band between 40W to 130W (70W to 90W recommended), the WM3 emits massive clouds that bely the Reuleaux’s diminutive size. With a triple vertical coil setup, hardened enthusiasts will love the robust spectrum offered from the WM3.

Best Vaporizer Kits 2018Why It’s The Best:The Wismec Reuleaux is one of the few vaporizers in the market today that gets down to brass tacks. The Reuleaux is a purpose-built device that delivers heart-pounding performance in a truly compact, discreet package.

 

Best Vaping Kits of 2018: SMOK Rolo Badge Kit

Best Vape Starter Kits 2018Invariably, most sub-ohm vaping kits are designed around the box mod format. It’s the platform that offers the most surface area for user-functionality innovations, and it’s frankly the most familiar setup. But as the vaping industry increases in popularity, outsiders are starting to catch on, with a prime consequence being the lack of discretion for box mods. Enter the SMOK Rolo Badge Kit! The SMOK Rolo is SMOKtech’s latest take on the portable POD system craze. Unlike box mods or pen-style vaporizers, PODs carry a distinctive look, similar to an eyedrop. From an untrained eye, a POD appears to be an eccentric flash memory device, or a Power point clicker; in other words, anything but a vaporizer.

That suits buyers of the SMOK Rolo Badge Kit just fine, thank you very much! At less than three inches at the tallest, and a hair under two inches at the widest, the Rolo POD could fit into just about any nook or crevice. Also, tipping the scales at a mere 2.2 ounces – yes, ounces! – the Rolo is ridiculously light.

Traveling vapers understand all too well how much unnecessary weight drags on a person. Especially when you’re out and about, you don’t want to carry around an unsightly mod in your pocket. With the Rolo Badge Kit, you only have the bear essentials for vaping, and very little else.

Would you win a utilitarian contest? Certainly not, but then again, the SMOK Rolo POD was designed to be a portable vaporizer, not a Swiss Army knife.

That’s not to say that the Rolo doesn’t have enough features to make it an exceptional vape device, because it has plenty. First, the Rolo POD integrates a 2.0 ml capacity e-juice reservoir pod. This may not sound like much, but it actually rivals many compact-sized box mods. Moreover, nothing beats the POD format’s exceptional discretion and inconspicuousness.

Underlining the SMOK Rolo Badge Kit is an internal 250 mAh battery. Remember, this little bad boy weighs only 2.2 ounces, so it doesn’t need as much capacity as a larger-sized device. Yet even with a 250 mAh battery, the Rolo is capable of multiple, robust sessions without requiring a recharge.

When it comes time to replenish your battery, however, the diminutive size of the Badge Kit truly comes in handy. Bigger may be better in some contexts, but not so much in the portable vaporizer realm. With the Rolo POD, just plug it into any micro-USB compatible device, and you’ll be up and vaping in no time!

One of the great advantages of using a POD device is the format’s incredible simplicity. The SMOK Rolo extends this attribute a step further by having zero buttons to push: just slide out the top cap, insert your pod (two are included in the SMOK Rolo Badge Kit), and start vaping right away!

Finally, we have to mention this: because the Rolo doesn’t have to incorporate full-sized bells and whistles (a massive OLED screen being one example), the Badge Kit is incredibly cost-effective. With the savings you would accrue from not buying a top-end, full-size vaping kit, you could reinvest in some choice e-liquids!

2018 Best Vaping Starter KitsWhy It’s The Best:The SMOK Rolo Badge Kit is a conspicuous step away from the box mod craze, and we couldn’t thank SMOKtech enough for it! Leveraging maximum discretion and portability, the Rolo is light, compact, and easy to use, perfect for both vaping veterans as well as newcomers.
