Looking ahead to a New Year brings excitement, a sense of perspective and plans to set out goals and accomplish them. For six million smokers in the UK, one of those targets in 2025 may be following the advice of many health professionals by aiming to never purchase and smoke a cigarette again.

Heavy smokers who are used to smoking more than a pack a day of 20 (classed as a heavy smoker) will find it even more challenging considering the addictive nature of nicotine contained in cigarettes.

For that reason, a lot of people are turning to vapes to help with their nicotine addiction and as a way to give up cigarettes which contain tobacco (the most dangerous chemical in a cigarette). In this guide, we aim to highlight 10 of the best vapes for heavy smokers for 2025 and shed a little light on what is needed to make that transition a successful one.

Top 10 Vapes for Heavy Smokers

With so much choice in the world of vaping, how do you narrow down your options to find the best vape that will help you quit your heavy smoking habits? Or maintain the same high level of nicotine from disposable vapes? This list of our favourite picks will help you understand what the right device for you is.

XEO VOID - Best Vape to Quit Smoking

Top billing in our list has to be the XEO Void. This slimline easy-to-use vape pen is still as effective for vapers as when it was first released. Available in three professional colours, the key selling point for heavy smokers is the most simple but efficient e-liquid filling system. Just unscrew the mouthpiece at the top to add your favourite vape juice. With a large 1500mAh battery and two different coils featured with the kit, the Void offers a great device for all levels.

Pros

• Useful leakproofing system
• It can work equally well with Sub-Ohm and higher resistance coils
• The device charges quickly standing up and lasts roughly one full day

Cons

• The mouthpiece can get too warm vaping if used excessively (leave for 1-2 minutes or so before returning to vaping should this occur)

VSAVI Starter Kit – Best Cigalike Vape for Heavy Smokers

Familiarity is key for heavy smokers. To quit smoking is tough enough but when you are used to a habit of a pack or more of cigarettes per day, switching to a vape needs to be seamless.

And with the Vsavi Starter Kit, you have the closest vape device that looks and acts like a cigarette but most importantly without tobacco or the thousands of other dangerous toxins. It is a rechargeable option that can support prefilled or refillable pods of e-liquid. It keeps the strength low and the puff count to what is suitable, with a moderate amount of vapour but the maximum flavour in a wide range of classic tobacco, menthol and additional fruit e-liquids.

Pros

• An affordable vape kit that not only looks like a cigarette but is shaped like one too. Will feel very familiar with heavy smokers
• Charger means you don’t need to throw away like you would when smoking and excellent value means you can add another battery if needed as a backup
• You can either get prefilled cartridges in a wide range of flavours from Congress Tobacco to Vanilla, which involves no messing about with e-liquids (really handy for beginners)
• Or buy the all-in-one starter kit like above with an EX Blank atomiser ready for you to top up when needed. This gives you more free reign to pick the flavours you wish, adjusting the nicotine levels

Cons

• Not recommended with nic salts. The best you can do is go for a high level of PG at 18mg nicotine, with the platinum e-liquids over 70% PG complimenting the device perfectly

Titan 10k – Huge Legal Amount of Puffs

With capsule click technology and a staggering maximum capacity of 10,000 puffs per device, this is not only great value from Titan, produced by Vape Gold, but a welcome addition for heavy smokers. Featuring 20mg nic salts, it has the smoothest and highest nicotine strength available in flavours such as tasty lemon-lime and strawberry kiwi watermelon.

Pros

• A staggering maximum of 10,000 puffs in one kit is a one-off purchase. Following TPD guidelines, there is one 2ml preinstalled pod and 8 additional prefilled pods
• Tons of flavours to choose from with 20mg nic salt strength
• Smooth delivery supported by a rechargeable 1000mAh battery

Cons

• Not currently possible to buy additional pods – would need to repurchase the kit

Vaporesso Dojo Blast – Reliable Design

Vaporesso is well known for making some of the most reliable vape kits available today. The Dojo Blast 6000 is their latest big puff offering up to 6000 puffs to combat the single-use disposable vape ban, providing more e-liquid capacity while honouring TPD requirements.

The flavour is great with these and the design is stylish to give vapers nicotine satisfaction and a user-friendly device to transition from smoking. Each Dojo Blast is available in a different colour depending on the flavour you pick and features a smart display screen on the front.

Pros

• Rich bold flavour profile as expected from Vaporesso
• Long lasting pods
• Feels good in the hand with a nice compact shape and stylish design

Vuse Pro – Intense Flavours

Vuse loves to make vape kits that are tailor-made for beginners and the Vuse Pro is no exception. It offers fantastic flavour from prefilled pods that fit effortlessly onto the top of the battery. Although there is not much extravagance to the device, the aim to help heavy smokers quit is quite clear from the auto-draw activation and lightweight nature.

Pros

• Very lightweight and discreet device
• Represents great value under £5 with a rechargeable battery
• Compatible with a wide range of pod flavours including the new intense collection

Cons

• Although there is a new fast-charging design the battery is relatively small at 350mAh

SKE Crystal CL6000 – Stylish Device

The Crystal CL6000 from SKE is another big puff device offering up to 6,000 puffs which looks great on the eye and functions very well in the hand when you require nicotine satisfaction. Compact and ergonomic, the CL6000 is a great option for heavy smokers because of the 10ml refill container you get with the device.

This prefilled vape kit allows multiple refills on the go automatically, so you do not need to worry about filling it with vape juice. The dual mesh coils provide enhanced flavour and 20mg nic salts for a smooth delivery.

Pros

• If you want to try a little bit more cloud production than a cigarette, this is the device for you
• Useful digital battery display on the side panel
• Clear pod display and up to 6000 puffs

Oxva Xlim Pro 2 – User-Friendly Efficiency

A HD colour screen, 1300mAh battery capacity and a super trendy vape shaped and coloured redefines how you vape. The OXVA Xlim Pro 2 is the latest kit from the popular series and delivers excellent results for heavy smokers. Charging is kept to a minimum and the vape performance with adjustable airflow and wattage is stellar.

Operating the Xlim Pro 2 is very simple for all levels of experience and 30W ensures enough power to get the vape throat hit required.

Pros

• Trendy vape with a nice display which is customisable
• Works with a wide range of Oxva Xlim pods
• Very easy to use for heavy smokers with an excellent leakproof design

Cons

Aspire Flexus AIO – Customisable Vape

We love how the Aspire Flexus AIO looks and feels in the hand. And because Aspire knows how to make a device that supports any vaper – particularly beginners – the Flexus AIO offers ultra-high battery performance and a three-wattage level adjustable system. The airflow is also adjustable by simply twisting the pod.

Four LED indicators highlight the battery performance and the working conditions too. To fill with vape juice, which you will need to do often as a heavy smoker, a screw-to-open top fill design is just what is needed to vape as frequently as needed.

Pros

• Great taste with lots of different vape juices for heavy smoking switch
• Huge battery capacity
• Easy top-fill design

Cons

• Not pocket-friendly, although we would not advise that is the safest method to carry a vape anyway!

Geekvape Wenax Q Pro – 3-Level Airflow

Next up is the bold and impressive design of the Geekvape Wenax Q Pro kit. Boasting a large 1200mAh battery, this is not the only great feature. In addition, there is a very useful three-step system of airflow to switch between MTL to RDL, as well as a haptic touch design to control the device effortlessly.

Plus, with a range of colours and a smart 0.96-inch smart screen, it looks the part too. All of these features together create one fine option for heavy smokers aiming to quit.

Pros

• Three different set airflow levels to match the performance and hit your expectations
• Best vape in this list for throat hit, offering two pods with the kit for different vape styles
• User-friendly curved mouthpiece for a comfortable vape

Cons

• No major cons to this device

Elf Bar 600 – Best Disposable Vape for Heavy Smokers

Disposable vapes are very easy to use, and offer great value and potent flavour to those who seek an all-in-one system to help not just beginners but even advanced vapers quit smoking.

Often made at 20mg nic salt strength, it is the ideal short-term option (albeit a little more expensive than a reusable pod kit) that provides a strong but smooth throat hit and a fully saturated coil ready to vape straight out of the packaging. For years now Elf Bar has been the best example of this vape kit type with the legendary Elf Bar 600 kit.

Pros

• Strong nicotine hit of 20mg and auto-draw activation with no buttons or liquid/coil changes
• Its simplicity and convenience make it an excellent choice for heavy smokers
• There are so many flavours with the Elf Bar 600, so a heavy smoker will be pleased with the huge amount of options

Cons

• No possibility of recharging or refilling

Important Considerations for Heavy Smokers

1. There are three vape styles of inhalation. Mouth to lung, also known as MTL, is the same method as smoking a cigarette. It means taking a draw in, holding it in the mouth for a few seconds and puffing back out. Meanwhile, direct lung (DTL) and a restrictive direct lung vape hit (RDL) means inhaling straight into the lungs and exhaling a larger amount of cloud back out. Stick with MTL vaping when you first make the switch and only try later different styles.


2. If you smoke 15-20 cigarettes a day, it’s likely your addiction will be high and classed as a ‘heavy smoker’, meaning you need to replicate that same pattern when you vape. That means starting high at around 18-20mg of nicotine in your vape and slowly working your way down, ideally to 0mg. Do not start vaping with less than the equivalency of nicotine you used to smoke. Otherwise, you will not match your cravings.


3. Do not quit cold turkey going from smoking cigarettes to nothing. Transition away from tobacco cigarettes to vaping as advised by health professionals, which still contains nicotine to keep up with daily habits but also gives you greater control until you are ready to quit completely and remove all chemicals from inhalation.


4. Try a simple starter kit to give you the best chance of quitting cigarettes successfully with a vape product. Over complications with vape coils and e-liquids can sometimes be confusing – at least initially.


5. Stick with a 50% PG e-liquid or higher, to begin with as the thin consistency and smaller amount of cloud will be familiar to puffing on a cigarette. Anything of more than 50% VG will create more vapour and may be too much for some vapers to handle.


6. Match the throat hit you seek to replicate the sensation of smoking. If you seek a smoother throat hit, try a nic salt e-liquid. The higher the level of PG, the better the throat hit. Opt for a device with a low wattage output to reduce cloud production.


7. Pick a device with a decent battery capacity. Less charging means less fuss and greater ease to vape when needed.
