If you're an avid vaper and you're preparing to jet off on your holiday, you may be pondering on what the best vape kit to take with you on holiday would be.

There's a few different aspects that you need to consider when choosing the best vape kit for your holiday and in this blog, we will go into detail about these different aspects as well as giving our recommendations on the top 5 best vape kits which are perfect for travelling.

When choosing a vape kit to take on holiday, there are a few factors to bear in mind. The ideal travel vape should be compact and portable, but should also have enough battery life to keep you going no matter your chosen activities. Not to mention the potential availability of replacement components like pods and coils once you arrive.

Below we list our top 5 vape kits that we think are perfect for travel and in our own experience as vapers have made for great holiday companions to help manage our cravings without resorting to cigarettes or other NRTs!

• Portable and easy to pack
  
• Large battery capacity for all-day adventuring
  
• Rapid charging for minimal holiday downtime
  
• Long-lasting pods = fewer replacements during travel
  

Starting this list off strong with one of the best vape devices from 2024, which is the Argus P2 refillable pod vape kit. If you've read our review of the Argus P2, you'll know what I think of this device and my opinion hasn't changed since I first got my hands on it!

Its small and discreet design makes it a perfect pocket-sized vape, easily tucked away in your hand luggage or in a pocket when travelling. Despite its size, it packs a big punch when it comes to flavour production, and it houses a 1100mAh battery which will provide all-day charge while you're out and about. Not to mention this is paired with fast charge capability, meaning your device will recharge from 5% to 100% in just over 30 minutes! Ideal if you've been out all day and want to recharge your vape while you're getting ready to head out for the evening while away.

It's the perfect device to use nicotine salts in as well, as the mesh coils enhance the flavour and the power from the battery gives a strong yet satisfying hit with every puff. And the pods have an incredibly long-lasting life, I'm still using the original pod which came with the kit and that's at least two weeks old, so you'll only need to take one or two spare pods with you as backup whilst on your travels.

• Portable and easy to pack
  
• Large battery capacity for all-day adventuring
  
• Rapid charging for minimal holiday downtime
  
• Popular kit with readily available replacement parts
  

This is another device which we have reviewed for the site, and it really ticks all of the boxes as an every day vape as well as being the perfect travel vape companion!

Its small box style design makes it extremely portable and easy to pack. The battery life will last you all day before needing to be charged which is great for city breaks and more adventurous trips.

This device is perfect for using nicotine salts in, with the 0.8ohm Kylpse pods which will provide a full on flavour experience as well as a smooth and satisfying nicotine hit.

I've found the pods to last a good 7-10 days before they need changing, so you won't have to pack a lot of spares with you in your luggage.

• Portable and easy to pack

The Sonder Q is lightweight, offering usability with both nic salts and freebase e-liquid and an all-around simple and efficient experience. It is ideal for travellers who don't want to overly prepare, and want a simple answer to their nicotine cravings. At a low price point, it also leaves more funds to spend whilst away!

Slim and discreet, the Sonder Q is a great companion for any journey abroad.

Picking a vape kit that's portable and relatively small in size will help in many different ways. It won't take up much space in your hand luggage when you're packing it away, and also it will be portable enough to take out with you while you're exploring, whether that be at the beach, going sightseeing, or any other holiday-related activity.

No need to carry a bulky vape kit around in your pocket when there's a great selection of affordable pocket-sized vape kits available to take as your vape travel companion!

If the holiday that you're planning involves being on the go a lot, you're going to want to choose a vape device that has a good battery life to ensure that it lasts you all day while you're out and about exploring and enjoying your holiday. 

You'll also want to consider picking a vape kit that has fast charge capabilities too, like the VooPoo Argus P2, so that when the battery does begin to run down, you can pop it on charge and won't be left without your vape for too long!

Take note of the charger compatibility of your destination to - you will almost certainly need to purchase the relevant plug adaptor if travelling abroad from the UK, or you may be left with no way to charge your vape battery. Thankfully, most vape kits come with a USB charging cable, which is a universal option; however, not all hotel rooms, etc. will have the provision of a USB slot, so plan accordingly. 

Assuming you have chosen a holiday destination that permits the sale and use of vaping products, it is always wise to carry enough replacement pods, coils, and batteries with you to meet the needs of your trip.

If disaster were to strike, however, and you find yourself in need of replacements, choosing a vape kit that is relatively modern, and from reputable brands like VooPoo, Vaporesso, Innokin or Aspire, gives you a much greater chance of being able to find compatible replacement parts overseas. You can learn more about the most popular vape brands in 2026 in our blog.

Custom or older vape kits are less likely ot be catered for, and while you might strike lucky, the odds will be against you. So plan accordingly and purchase a suitably modern and popular kit that foreign vape stores are likely to cater to!

Nicotine salt e-liquid has fast become the more preferred type of vape juice amongst vapers not only in the UK but globally also. Nic salts provide a much more flavoursome vape experience as well as a faster absorption rate and longer satisfaction too meaning your cravings for nicotine will be curbed near enough instantly after a couple of puffs on your vape kit. 

Faster absorption and longer lasting effects are key points for if you're out and about on your holiday as you won't always be clutching at your vape as the nicotine salts will have done their job. I remember taking my children on holiday to Disney World and their designated vaping areas are few and far between located around the theme park, so I didn't get much opportunity to dip in and have a vape break.

But as I was using nicotine salts, I didn't feel the urge to constantly seek these areas out as my nicotine cravings were minimal, and this meant I could enjoy more family time enjoying the park and it's attractions rather than hunting out their vaping areas and having a quick puff or two.

The rich flavours can also perfectly complement a sunny day too, using a nice tropical tasting vape juice like Kiwi, Passionfruit and Guava, whilst soaking up the rays of the hot sun just makes your holiday that little bit better, well, it did for me anyway!
