The Lost Mary BM6000 Prefilled Pod Kit is Lost Mary’s answer to the upcoming disposable vape ban. It’s designed as a replacement for one of their most popular single-use vapes: the Lost Mary BM6000 disposable vape.
The BM6000 pod kit utilises prefilled pods, offering the same level of convenience as a single-use vape. However, where disposables create waste, the BM6000 offers sustainability with its 650mAh rechargeable battery and reusable nature.
Each device comes with 12ml of 20mg nic salt e-liquid in the form of a 2ml prefilled pod and 10ml e-liquid container. This combination offers up to 6000 puffs total and can be replaced with ease. Once you run out of e-liquid, simply slide the refill out of the device, and replace it with a new one!
If you’re looking for a user-friendly reusable vape capable of delivering just as much flavour as your favourite disposables, you’ve found it with the new Lost Mary BM6000 pod kit. Also, at just £11.99 each, these colourful devices are an absolute bargain!

Key Features

- Inhale-Activated Device

- Compatible With Elfa Pro Pods & Elf Bar 600 Prefilled Pods
The Elf Bar 600 Prefilled Pod Kit is the perfect solution for those who’ve been using its disposable counterpart - the Elf Bar 600 disposable vape. Like the original, the new 600 puff Elf Bar pod kit is simple, straightforward and easy to use. Although, unlike the original, it’s reusable, rechargeable and environmentally friendly.
The new Elf Bar 600 is similar to the Elfa & Elfa Pro pod kits in that it uses prefilled pods; however, the Elf Bar 600 prefilled pods feature the exact same fantastic flavours as the Elf Bar disposable - but can be swapped or replaced whenever you feel like it!
The pre-filled Elf Bar pods are filled with 2ml of nicotine salt e-liquid and feature a 20mg strength, just like the disposable. This means they can last for up to 600 puffs each before needing to be replaced.
If you’re looking for a cheap vape that will beat the disposable vape ban this summer, you’ve found it with the Elf Bar 600 pod kit. At just £4.99, this prefilled pod kit is up there amongst the best cheap vapes.
Cost: £19.85

The Vaporesso Xros 4 comes in at #3 on my list of the best cheap vapes that won’t be banned. It’s a reusable, refillable pod kit that boasts a whole host of different adjustable features, giving you the chance to tailor your experience just the way you like it.
The Xros 4 features a rechargeable high-capacity 1000mAh battery, so you can vape in comfort all day long. It also comes with two refillable 2ml pods that cater to both Mouth to Lung and Restricted Direct to Lung vapers.
Also, with three power modes, an adjustable airflow slider, and cross-compatibility with ALL Vaporesso Xros pods, it’s clear a versatile vape that can be used by a wide range of vapers. Whether you prefer a tight inhale, similar to a cigarette, or something a little loose and airy, the Vaporesso Xros 4 has got it covered.
It’s a little pricier than the prefilled pod kits, at £19.85, but this pod kit more than makes up for it by allowing you to take control of your experience. Choose the perfect 50/50 e-liquid for you, with a huge range of flavours and nicotine strengths for you to pick from.
Cost: £8.99
Key Features
- 1000mAh Rechargeable Integrated Battery
- Replaceable Prefilled Pods
- Inhale-Activated Vape
- 12ml of 20mg Nic Salt E-Liquid
- 10,000 Puffs (Approx.)
- 15 Flavours
The IVG Pro 12 is one of the flashier budget vapes that won’t be banned, and is #4 on my list of the best affordable vapes. It’s a prefilled pod kit made by IVG - an award winning brand recognised globally for their high-quality vapes & e-liquids.
The Pro 12 pod kit, like many of the other popular legal big puff vapes, comes with 12ml of nicotine salt vape juice in a 20mg strength. It comes with a 2ml prefilled pod, as well as a 10ml refill cartridge, which together can provide up to 10,000 puffs.
This long-lasting inhale-activated device is a great choice for the environmentally conscious with its 1000mAh rechargeable battery that can be recharged and reused repeatedly using a USB type-c charging cable (not included).
Also, with 15 wonderful flavours available in the IVG Pro 12 kit, and replacement prefilled pods, there’s plenty of options for you to explore and enjoy. What more could you possibly want from a device that's just £8.99?
Cost: £8.95
Key Features
- 800mAh Rechargeable Integrated Battery
- Replaceable Prefilled Pods
- Inhale-Activated Vape
- 12ml of 20mg Nic Salt E-Liquid
- 6000 Puffs (Approx.)
- 10 Flavours
Half way through the list of the top 10 best cheap vapes is the SKE Crystal CL6000! After using almost all of the other SKE Crystal vapes, I can say that this Crystal CL6000 prefilled pod vape is in a league of its own!
The SKE CL6000 is a great value prefilled pod kit, costing £8.95 each and offering up to 6000 puffs from the get-go! The best part though is that you can reuse it - just replace the pods once they’re empty and keep vaping!
Like the other prefilled pod vape kits, the CL6000 vape is very straightforward and easy to use - however, unlike some of its competitors, I find the design to be one step above the rest. Its rounded edges and ergonomic build make it a joy to use.
Lastly - the flavour. As you’d expect from an SKE vape, the SKE CL6000 is bursting with flavour. It’s like each puff explodes across your tongue. The only downfall is that there are only 10 flavours to choose from in the SKE CL6000 prefilled pods, which is why it’s landed at #5 on the list.
Cost: £3.99
Key Features
- 600mAh Rechargeable Integrated Battery
- Replaceable Prefilled Pods
- Inhale-Activated Vape
- 4ml of 20mg Nic Salt E-Liquid
- 1500 Puffs (Approx.)
- 12 Flavours
The Pyne Pod by Pod Salt is another great option for those wary of spending too much on a reusable vape. It costs just £3.99 and offers up to 1500 puffs total, making it easily one of the best value cheap vapes in our list - and deserving of its #6 spot.
These petite prefilled vapes come with two 2ml pods; each filled with a different flavour of e-liquid and providing 750 puffs each. This means that the Pyne Pod 2 in 1 comes with 4ml of 20mg nic salt and provides up to 1500 puffs overall, but in two different flavours.
With a built-in 600mAh battery and type-c charging, the Pyne Pod 2 in 1 lasts longer than the average disposable vape, both in terms of puffs, and battery life. The 600mAh battery is also large enough to last moderate vapers an entire day with ease.
There are 12 different Pyne Pod kits to choose from, each of which comes with different prefilled Pyne pods - so you won;t be getting bored in a hurry. However, it’s at #6 for a reason - and this is because the flavour just isn’t quite as strong as what you’ll find in some of the bigger brands.
Cost: £4.95
Key Features
- 650mAh Rechargeable Integrated Battery
- Replaceable Prefilled Pods
- Inhale-Activated Vape
- 6ml of 20mg Nic Salt E-Liquid
- 3000 Puffs (Approx.)
- 30+ Flavours
At #7 we’ve got another IVG pod kit - the IVG SAVR Prefilled Pod Kit. The SAVR is a sturdy pod vape that costs next to nothing at just £4.95 per device - which is why it’s made it onto the list of cheap vapes that will beat the ban!
As the IVG SAVR comes with a replaceable 2ml prefilled pod and 4ml refill container - both of which are prefilled with 20mg nic salt vape juice - it’s considered a reusable device, rather than disposable. So, you can rest assured that it’ll still be a legal big puff vape when the ban is enforced in June.
The 6ml of free e-liquid that comes with the SAVR offers up to 3000 puffs, lasting far longer than a basic 600 puff vape. It also means you can enjoy your favourite flavours for longer without worrying about running out of e-liquid.
Housing a 650mAh battery and boasting a USB type-c charging port, the SAVR pod kit can keep going hour after hour - it also only takes 45 minutes to fully charge again! If you’re looking for something cheap and cheerful, you can’t go wrong with the IVG SAVR.
Cost: £8.49
Key Features
- 650mAh Rechargeable Integrated Battery
- Compatible with Refillable & Prefilled Pods
- Inhale-Activated Vape
- Ideal First-Time MTL Vape
- Perfect for 50/50 E-liquids
What the Aspire Gotek X lacks in customisation, it more than makes up for in terms of performance. This compact, versatile little vape kit is one of the bestselling Aspire vapes of the last few years.
The Gotek X features a fully-integrated 650mAh battery that can be recharged within 45 minutes; making it the perfect pod kit for people that live busy lifestyles and are always on the go.
The Gotek X is compatible with two different types of pod; refillable Aspire Gotek X pods that allow you to choose a vape juice of your choice, as well as Prefilled Aspire Gotek X Pods that offer all of the convenience and satisfaction of a disposal vape.
At just £8.49 per piece it’s clear to see why so many have fallen in love with this high-quality mouth to lung vape. If you’re looking for something that feels similar to disposables that you can use over and over again - check out the Gotek X today!
Cost: £8.95
Key Features
- 1100mAh Rechargeable Integrated Battery

- Inhale-Activated Vape
- 20mg Nicotine Strength
- Comes With 4 Flavours
The IVG Air 4 in 1 is the new and improved IVG 2400 - but in the form of reusable prefilled pod kit. At #9 on our list of the best cheap vapes, you know you’re going to get your money’s worth from this innovative device.
The IVG Air 4-in-1 comes with 4 prefilled pods, which feature 2ml of 20mg nicotine salt vape juice for 8ml of e-liquid total. Each of the pods boasts its own unique flavour - and whilst there are only 10 different devices to choose from, there are 27 flavours available in the IVG Air Prefilled Pods.
Like the IVG 2400, the Air 4-in-1 offers up to a maximum of 2400 puffs, although the exact amount varies based on usage. Its 1100mAh battery can last more than a day before needing to be recharged using a USB type-c cable.
Whether you fancy something fruity, or a soothing icy sensation - there’s a flavour for everyone in this cheap vape. It really is a great device for anyone searching for a solution to the disposable ban, without breaking the bank.
Cost: £19.75
Key Features
- 1200mAh Rechargeable Integrated Battery
- 0.96 Inch TFT Colour Screen
- Inhale-Activated Vape
- Suitable for MTL Vaping
- Adjustable Wattage & Airflow
Last on my list at #10 is the OXVA Xlim SQ Pro; a robust refillable pod kit that can do almost everything the big vape kits can do, just on a smaller scale. The reason this one is last on the list is because it’s a little pricier at £19.95, and a little more complicated than some of my other recommendations.
The Xlim SQ Pro is a pocket-sized pod kit with an impressive 1200mAh rechargeable battery that’s said to be able to last for up to 3 days on one charge. This makes it one of the longest-lasting small pod kits on the market right now.
As well as a big battery, the SQ Pro Xlim is compatible with a HUGE range of OXVA Xlim pods - including both refillable and prefilled options. So if you don’t fancy picking an e-liquid, you can go ahead and use OXVA’s prefilled pods!
The 5-30W variable wattage and adjustable airflow make the OXVA Xlim SQ Pro vape a great choice for those who value personalisation. It also caters to both MTL and RDTL vapers, giving you room to grow and explore new vaping experiences.
Final Thoughts
