Top 10 Best Inhale Activated Vape Kits Right Now!

Join us as we take a look at the best auto-draw vape kits of 2022.

Draw-activated pod kits have become some of our best-selling vape kits at TABlites, and it’s easy to see why they are so appealing.

This selection of MTL (mouth to lung) vape kits are designed to produce a small amount of vapour and replicate the sensation a real cigarette provides. They are uncomplicated to use and an ideal first vape kit for beginner users. The convenience of draw-activated pod kits also appeals to experienced vapers looking for hassle-free vaping.

We have experienced loads of new vapers coming through the doors at our vape stores across the UK, and shopping on our busy online store, looking for alternatives to disposable vapes. Disposable vapes are a great stepping stone, a great way to dip your toe into the world of vaping and see what it has to offer. But when vaping disposable bars for a number of months, you may notice they are quite expensive and the single-use plastics being tipped into landfill is very wasteful. Check out our the more detailed benefits of switching to a pod kit in our blog here.

Many of these customers have become used to the convenience of disposables, draw on the mouthpiece for vapour, when finished, throw it away. Auto-draw vape kits nicely bridge the gap between disposable vapes like the Elf Bar 600, and other vape starter kits available like the Aspire PockeX, that requires pressing a button to fire or activate the device.

A large percentage of the vape kits mentioned in this list don’t even feature any buttons, all the complicated menus and systems have been stripped back to basics to cater for first time vapers and those looking for easy vaping.

When making the transition to a refillable and rechargeable vape device, you need to start exploring vape juice or e-liquid options. All disposable vapes contain nicotine salt juice, mostly in 20mg/ml, so this is a great place to start when levelling up.

You probably have a good idea what types of flavour profiles you enjoy vaping, and many of the same flavours are available in 10ml nicotine salt e-liquid bottles. We can highly recommend our very own TABlites Nic Salt range, consisting of 19 delicious flavours based on the most popular disposable vape blends available in both 10mg and 20mg nicotine strengths.

At TABlites we stock a wide range of draw-activated vape kits from trusted hardware manufacturers including, Uwell, Smok, Aspire, Vaporesso and Elf Bar, to name a few.

What is an inhale-activated vape kit?

Draw activated or inhale activated refers to vape kits that are fitted with technology to instantly provide vapour when the mouthpiece is inhaled upon, without the need to press the fire button. Inhaling on the mouthpiece will trigger the device into operation mode, activating the battery to heat the coil and produce vapour.

Who are inhale-activated vape kits for?

• Draw to vape devices are an ideal option for customers making the switch from disposable vapes to refillable and rechargeable kits, because they offer the same auto-draw functionality and ease of use.
• Inhale-activated devices closely mimic inhaling on a regular cigarette, being a great choice for new vapers.
• Draw-activated kits are a perfect solution for experienced vapers looking for an easy to use and hassle-free vape.
• They are also a great vape kit option for those with dexterity issues such as arthritis or carpal tunnel, making vaping as easy as inhaling on the mouthpiece.

How do inhale-activated vape kits work?

Inhale-activated vape kits detect when the mouthpiece is inhaled upon via air pressure or airflow, this triggers activation mode.

• The battery is activated
• The battery heats the coil
• The coil vaporises the vape juice
• Vapour is produced

At TABlites we stock all the biggest and best brands of vape hardware in the UK.
