If you’re worried about the upcoming disposable vape ban because you love the convenience of disposables and can’t be bothered with a refillable kit, fear not, because prefilled pod vape kits are the perfect alternative for you. We’re going to introduce you to the top 5 best prefilled pod vape kits on the market, and show you how painless the transition away from disposables can be.
You will also save money in the long run due to the fact you’re only replacing pods rather than the whole kit, and there are many prefilled kits that look and feel identical to the disposables you know and love.
The Elfa Pro by Elf Bar was one of the OG prefilled pod vape kits on the market, and was released after the success of the Elfa pod Kit. The Elfa Pro has a great rage of flavours and looks/feels almost identical to an Elf Bar! New flavours are constantly being added to the Elfa Pro range, with classic elf bar flavours such as kiwi passion guava, blue razz lemonade and watermelon available.
The Elfa Pro has a 500mAh battery and each pod is prefilled with 2ml of liquid, meaning the kit will last the same as an Elf bar before you need to swap out the pod and re charge the battery. Each kit comes with 1 x prefilled pod ready to vape.
You also have the option to purchase empty pods for the Elfa Pro, meaning you can use your own liquid at any strength you’d like if 20mg is too high for you.
The Ske Crystal Plus Pod kit is one of the best replications of a disposable vape in a pod kit we’ve seen. When the pod is in the kit, it looks, feels, and performs exactly like the SKE Crystal disposable. The battery in the Crystal Plus is slightly smaller than the Elfa Pro, coming in at 400mAh which may mean you have to recharge this more frequently, but if you’re already a user of the Crystal disposables, it’s worth it. The range of flavours is also smaller then the Elfa Pro, but you still have all of the classics such as strawberry burst, blueberry raspberry, and cherry ice.
Each pod is prefilled with 2ml of 20mg nic salt liquid and you get 2 per pack of pods, with 1 pod included with your initial purchase of the kit. You can also purchase empty pods to be filled with the liquid of your choice.

20mg nicotine pods available

The Dojo Blast is a newcomer on the disposable vape alternative market. It’s different from the Elfa Pro and Ske Crystal Plus because each replacement pod has 10ml of liquid in as apposed to 2ml, reaching 6000 puffs rather than 600 per pod (Approx). It also has a 650mAh battery which means you can expect to recharge this roughly once per day with frequent use, but you have 5x as much liquid in the reservoir so won’t have to change the pods daily.
There aren’t any empty pods available for the Dojo Blast, however they do have 20mg and 10mg prefilled options available. It’s one of only 2 prefilled pod kits currently on the market that has 10mg pods available, second to the Riot Connex Kit and pods which are also available in 20mg and 10mg.The kit comes with 1 x 20mg pod initially, but once you’ve used this you’re free to swap between the 2 strengths which makes it a great option for those looking to lower their nicotine.

If you enjoy being able to instantly switch between flavours then the Elf Bar 4-in-1 kit might be the one for you. The pods contain the same liquids as the Elf Bar disposables with the replacement pods coming in a pack of 4 with 4 different flavours. You will have 4 pods in your device at any one time, and you can switch between them whenever by twisting the top. Each pod has 2ml of liquid in giving you 8ml per pack in total, and they come in a 20mg strength.
The advantage of using a kit like the Elf Bar 4-in-1 is that it comes with a built in 1500mAh battery. This will give you a minimum of 2 days of vaping with no need to re charge during this period, so much better for those who are on the go. You also won’t need to change the pods in this time either due to having 8ml liquid total in your device. There is also an ‘eco mode’ built in to the Elf Bar 4-in-1 allowing you to extend the battery life even further.
The IVG Air is a great multiflavoured vape with replacement prefilled pods available, saving you much more money than using the soon-to-be-banned IVG 2400. Similarly to the Elf Bar 4-in1, the IVG Air has the capability of holding 4 pods at any one time, each with a different flavour. Each pod has 2ml of liquid in giving you 8ml per pack in total, and they come in a 20mg strength.
The battery in the IVG Air isn’t as big as the Elf Bar 4-in-1, coming in at 1100mAh battery, but you should be able to get 2 days of vaping out of this before it’s time for a re charge. You can also purchase individual flavours for the IVG Air, as apposed to a set pack of 4 flavours with the Elf Bar 4-in1, giving you more freedom of choice with the flavours you have in your kit.
You can purchase the IVG Air 4-in-1 here, the IVG Air 2-in-1 kit here, and the IVG Air replacement pods here.
Summary:
We hope that by rounding up our top 5 prefilled pod vapes kits you now have more of a feel for the options available to you as a disposable vape user. You’ll fine that as you transition away from single use devices you will save more money, and still be able to enjoy vaping as you did with disposables.
A little more on the disposable vape ban to follow.
Disposable Vape Ban Frequently Asked Questions:
What Is A Disposable Vape?
A disposable vape is any vaping device that is single use i.e. you use it once and then throw the whole unit away. They have built in, non removable batteries, and are prefilled with liquid in a sealed unit that you’re unable to remove and refill.
The official legislation regarding the disposable vape ban states that a disposable vape is either:
a. Not refillable
b. Not rechargeable
c. Not refillable and not re chargeable
When Will I Not Be Able To Buy Disposables Vapes?
The Disposable vape ban will ban all single use vapes from the 1st of June 2025.
Why Is The Ban On Disposable Vapes Next Year And Not Now?
The reason that the disposable vape ban is not happening straight away is because retailers and suppliers need time to sell off all remaining stock. The financial impact on businesses and suppliers would be huge if the ban was implemented with little warning. Legislation also takes time to pass, it’s not something that can be implemented instantly.
Why Are Disposables Vapes Being Banned?
Vapes were originally intended as a tool to quit smoking for people who previously smoked cigarettes. Due to the rise in popularity of vaping and the convenience of disposables, more and more people who have never smoked are picking up vapes, and the government believe that if they ban disposables vapes, the number of new vapers will decrease.
There is also a huge environmental impact due to the single use lithium ion batteries in these disposables, that are often only used for 1 day and then discarded. Defra (The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs), estimate that in 2024 almost 5 million disposable vapes per week were thrown into household waste bins. Batteries thrown into household waste also cause fires in bin lorries and waste processing centres. The ban will help to protect the environment, and impact the perceived convenience of vaping that seems to be attracting a younger and younger audience.
What Other Vaping Products Are Being Banned?
At the moment, none that we know of. It’s only disposables that are facing this ban and all other products will be available for you to enjoy indefinitely.
Can I Import Disposable Vapes From Other Countries Instead?
The short answer is no. If you attempt to import vapes from another country they will most likely be confiscated by customs on the way in. This will leave you without vapes and without your money. There are so many disposable vape alternatives on the market today, that trying to import single use disposable vapes would be very cost ineffective and ultimately not worth the risk.
Can I Buy Disposable Vapes When I’m On Holliday?
If disposable vapes are still legal for sale in a county you’re visiting, you can purchase and use these, but you aren’t allowed you bring them back into the country.
Will Vape Flavours Be Banned?
The disposable vape ban does not restrict or impact the flavours of vape liquids you’re using, however there are still talks of these being more tightly regulated in the future. As of December 2024 when this blog post was published, there is no official legislation on vape flavours. You are still free to purchase flavoured vape liquids for your refillable kits.
Banned: Single use disposable vapes such as Elf Bars, Crystal Bars, and anything else that is intended to be used once and then disposed of.
Not Banned: Pod vape kits like the ones outlined in our best refillable pod vape kit blog , prefilled pod vape kits like on this blog, and any kit that can be reused by purchasing replacement parts (such as pods).
