Best Vape Kits, Pods & Coils for Double Drip E-Liquids

Since launching our first e-liquid collection in 2016, we've watched the UK vaping hardware landscape transform dramatically. Today's pod kits deliver flavour clarity that would have been unimaginable a decade ago, while advanced setups push the boundaries of cloud production and flavour intensity. Through extensive testing with our 80+ flavour range, we've identified the vape kits, pods, and coils that truly unlock the potential of our diverse e-liquid range.

At Double Drip, we understand that exceptional e-liquid deserves exceptional hardware. Whether you're experiencing our legendary Raspberry Sherbet or Cherry Bakewell for the first time or you're a longtime fan of our shortfill collection, the right vape kit can transform your experience from simply good to utterly extraordinary.

While we've built our reputation on innovative flavour profiles, we also know that great e-liquid needs great hardware to shine. That's why we've carefully curated a selection of vape kits, pod kits, starter vape kits, and accessories that we genuinely believe offer the best platform for our e-liquids. This guide breaks down our top recommendations across every category, from beginner-friendly pod systems to advanced setups that push the boundaries of flavour and vapour production. 

The relationship between hardware and e-liquid isn't just about personal preference - it's about chemistry, physics, and engineering working together to deliver the experience each formulation was designed for.

Our Nic Salt collection uses a thinner, 50VG/50PG formulation that wicks efficiently in higher-resistance coils. These e-liquids are designed for mouth-to-lung (MTL) vaping, where the tighter draw concentrates flavour on your taste buds rather than diluting it with massive vapour production. When you're tasting the complex layers in our Cherry Bakewell - that buttery pastry, sweet cherry, and subtle almond character - you want hardware that delivers those nuances clearly.

On the other hand our High VG range and shortfills, require different treatment. The higher VG content creates thicker e-liquid that needs larger wicking ports and lower-resistance coils to vaporise effectively. These formulations are crafted for direct-to-lung (DTL) vaping, where the increased vapour production carries intense flavour in each exhale.

The magic happens when you match the right hardware to the right e-liquid type. Use our nic salts in a pod kit with 1.2ohm coils, and you'll experience smooth nicotine delivery with exceptional flavour clarity. Try our Strawberry Banana Waffle Shortfill in a sub-ohm setup with 0.2ohm coils, and those dessert layers bloom into rich, satisfying clouds that showcase why this flavour has become a modern classic. 

Pod kits represent the perfect marriage of convenience and performance for our nic salt and 50/50 ranges. These compact devices have evolved far beyond simple smoking alternatives - today's pod systems deliver flavour clarity and satisfaction that rivals much larger setups. 

The MTL draw style concentrates vapour on your taste buds, allowing you to experience every nuance of our complex flavour profiles. Whether you're enjoying the sherbet fizz in our Raspberry Sherbet or the cooling mint layers in our Menthol Mist, pod systems deliver these flavours with stunning precision.

Modern pod kits also excel in coil technology. Many feature prebuilt pod systems where the coil is integrated into the cartridge - when performance drops, you simply replace the entire pod rather than fiddling with messy coil changes. Others use replaceable coil systems that let you customise resistance and coil type while maintaining the pod's convenience.

The beauty of pod systems lies in their simplicity without sacrifice. Most operate between 8-25W, which is the sweet spot for our nic salt formulations. This power range provides sufficient heat to vaporise the e-liquid effectively while maintaining the smooth throat hit that makes nicotine salts so appealing to both new vapers and those seeking efficient nicotine relief satisfaction.

For coil selection, look for resistances between 0.8-1.4ohms when using pod systems with our nic salts. These higher resistances create the restriction and discreet vapour production needed for proper MTL vaping while preventing the harsh throat hit that can occur when higher-nicotine e-liquids are used with sub-ohm coils.

Advanced vape kits open up an entirely different dimension of the Double Drip experience. These powerful devices are designed to handle our High VG e-liquids and shortfill collection, transforming concentrated flavours into dense, satisfying clouds that showcase the full complexity of our formulations. 

The higher VG content requires more power to vaporise effectively, but when it does, the result is spectacular. Take our Apple Rhubarb Crumble Shortfill - in an advanced kit running 40-60W with a 0.3ohm coil, those warming spice notes and tart fruit layers develop into a rich, multi-dimensional vape that's impossible to achieve with lower-powered devices.

Advanced kits typically feature replaceable coil systems, giving you the flexibility to fine-tune your experience. Want maximum flavour from our Fizzy Cherry Cola Bottles? Try a mesh coil around 0.2ohm. Prefer cooler, denser clouds with our Crystal Mist Shortfill? A 0.4ohm coil at moderate wattage delivers exactly that.

The key to success with advanced kits lies in understanding wattage ranges. Our high VG e-liquids typically perform best between 30-80W, depending on coil resistance and your personal preference. Start at the lower end of your coil's recommended range, then increase gradually until you find the sweet spot where flavour and vapour production balance perfectly.

Temperature control capabilities, found on many advanced devices, can be particularly beneficial with our more delicate flavour profiles. TC mode prevents overheating that can mute subtle notes in complex blends like our dessert-inspired creations. 

Coils are the heart of any vaping system, and understanding the two main types helps you choose hardware that matches your preferences and lifestyle.

Replaceable coils are individual heating elements that can be unscrewed from tanks or pods when performance diminishes. These coils offer maximum flexibility - you can experiment with different resistances, materials (kanthal, stainless steel, mesh), and styles to fine-tune your Double Drip experience. When a coil reaches the end of its life (typically 1-2 weeks depending on usage), you simply replace the coil element rather than the entire pod or cartridge.

Prebuilt systems (also called integrated coils) are built directly into disposable pods or cartridges. When performance drops, you replace the entire pod rather than just the coil. While this approach costs more per replacement, it offers unmatched convenience - no threading, no priming beyond filling the pod, and no risk of installing coils incorrectly.

For our nic salt and 50/50 ranges, both systems work excellently. Replaceable coils in the 0.8-1.8ohm range provide fantastic flavour with our MTL-focused formulations, while prebuilt pod systems often incorporate advanced mesh technology that enhances flavour delivery from the moment you start vaping.

For our high VG and shortfill ranges, replaceable coils typically offer more options. Sub-ohm replaceable coils (0.1-0.6ohm) are available in numerous configurations - single mesh, dual mesh, triple mesh - each offering different characteristics in terms of flavour intensity, vapour production, and coil longevity. 

Choosing the right vape kit for your Double Drip e-liquids transforms good vaping into exceptional experiences. Whether you're drawn to the convenience of pod systems with our nic salts or the performance possibilities of advanced setups with our shortfills, the right hardware helps you discover why our flavours have earned such a devoted following across the UK.

We've spent years perfecting these formulations, and we're genuinely excited to help you find the setup that brings out their best qualities.
