​Best Vapes of 2020 - Pods, Mods and Much More

What a year it’s been for the vaping world in 2020. Plenty of fantastic modifications, upgrades and entirely new vapes to cater to an industry who love innovation, technical features and stylish designs. It doesn't matter if you're seeking a compact pod to convert over from smoking or looking for an advanced box mod with all the necessary extras. With each vaper on a different journey, there’s a device available for every need and requirement. Below we do our best to highlight the best vapes on the market in 2020.

Best Vaporiser

A premium vaping device for one of the best vaporiser experiences in the UK, the XEO VOID will not disappoint. In terms of quality, practicality and design, it can’t be beaten in 2020 and beyond. With safety a top priority, it’s 100% leak-proof and complimented with a childproof function. Plus, you can switch between Direct to Lung (DTL) vaping with a higher Sub-Ohm coil of 1.0 or drop down to 0.6 Ohms for a Mouth to Lung (MTL) experience, which is a familiar technique smokers use for cigarettes.

Another consideration when vaping with this pen is which e-liquids you will use. The good thing about the XEO Void is it works well with a 50/50 PG and VG ratio. Alternatively, you could select a higher VG content if you prefer liquids to produce larger clouds and a smoother hit. What ratio you decide can alter the experience, changing the flavour, throat hit and much more.

Key Features

• 1500mAh battery
• 2ml capacity for e-liquids
• Available in a range of impressive colours

Best Starter Kit

Looking for a discreet way to vape, providing a smooth transition from smoking to vaping? Then the V2 Cigs all in one e-liquid starter kit is the ideal option for beginner vapers. You have the option to vape manually by clicking the fire button or automatically via the cartridge based on personal preference. Sleek and simple to use, it ticks all the right boxes for beginner vapers.

Key Features

• Rechargeable battery
• Lightweight device (18g)
• High powered voltage for a compact kit (4.2V)
• Multiple flavours to choose from including menthol cartridges
• Switches as a shisha pen

Best DTL Tank

For a restrictive DTL vaping experience, you want to inhale at a low wattage to enhance the flavour of your e-liquid. The Zlide is one of the best tanks around for doing this because of the airflow control settings and adjustable features on the tank. Its versatility is key because you can equally use it as a high-quality MTL tank too. Just up the coil ohm resistance for a stronger throat hit.

Plus, not only do you get an excellent drip tip which makes a lovely mouthpiece, but also an easy to fill device too, which prevents spillages. The additional lock feature for childproof security is a bonus. Simply ‘zlide’ open the top and pour in your e-liquid.

Another handy feature with the tank is the ability to use a wide range of coils. You can mix them up, reuse old ones or invest in new coils which fit the 22mm diameter frame. Therefore, it’s possible to alter with the Zenith coils and even add the tank to any suitable devices using a 510 connection.

Key Features

• 2ml capacity
• Replaceable Pyrex glass tank
• Can disassemble tank to clean thoroughly
• Adjustable temperature by optimising airflow settings
• Adaptable tank for DTL and MTL

Best Refillable Pod

We know how popular the SMOK Nord 2 is as a refillable pod but for 2020 the focus turns to the iQ ONE. Not only does it compliment a blend of PG and VG ratios e-liquids, but works equally well with the 100% VG VSAVI e-liquids. With the Hangsen iQ ONE’s stylish design, portability and most importantly airflow, you can get the best of both worlds. Not only does it provide that instant hit for Mouth to Lung vapers, but adjusts for a nice Direct to Lung experience too.

You can refill the pod multiple times before needing to be swapped, reaching up to 20 times based on some vaping users and their individual needs. It’s super easy and the coil strengths can be adjusted too between 0.6 and 0.8 ohms. Therefore, the iQ ONE works well with a high VG e-liquid, in addition to providing smooth flavours with your nic salts. Also, it’s worth noting that with this device you can find additional pods and coils at a more affordable price for continued vaping, in contrast to other pods.

Key Features

• 1100mAh battery
• 2ml tank
• Battery LED indicator
• Never run out of battery with a quick ‘pass through’ vaping charge
• A protective device with short-circuit, dry burn and low power prevention

Best Mod Vape

A round of applause for the stand out all-round mod of the year, the SMOK Rigel of 2020, which definitely takes the crown. A mighty powerful 230w device needs to deliver excellent results and it certainly exceeds expectations, boasting several impressive features. For cloud chasers, it’s a dream with a large refill slot and adjustable airflow at the base of the device. The TVF9 tank is intelligently designed and we love the build of the SMOK Rigel.

With two 18650 batteries tightly secured behind a titanium case with a grooved finish, it really appeals to box mod lovers who seek stylish colour scheme vapes. It provides such a smooth flavour with mesh coils, in particular, assisting to produce huge clouds of vapour. Alternatively, you can dial down the airflow for a more controlled MTL hit.

Key Features

• 2ml tank
• Type-C Port
• Strong stainless steel and carbon fibre design
• 0.96 inch TFT display
• Individual indicators for remaining battery on both 18650s

All of these devices impress because they provide a versatile mixture of features any vaper could get to grips with. Generally speaking,  pod devices pair up with beginners looking for an MTL technique, while more advanced mods help vapers kick on to the next stage of their experience.
