A starter kit pairs a device with the tank or pod it was designed around, so you get a matched setup in one box instead of assembling one yourself. NYX Vape carries kits from GeekVape, VooPoo and Vaporesso, covering everything from a rugged dual-battery box mod to a self-contained pod kit.
Add e-liquid and, on external-battery kits, a pair of cells, and you are ready to go. Browse our e-liquids in freebase and salt nicotine, and batteries and chargers if your kit takes removable cells. Free shipping across Canada on orders over $99.

Which Starter Kit is Right for You?
Best for a first kit with no extras to buy - The VooPoo Drag 6 Pod Kit. The 4400 mAh battery is built in, so there are no cells or charger to source, and the Uforce-X 2 tank is already matched to it.
Best for all-day use away from a charger - The GeekVape Aegis Legend 5. Dual 18650 cells mean you carry a charged spare set rather than waiting on a cable.
Best for rough treatment and for fine control - The Aegis Legend 5 again. The Aegis line is built around durability, and the AS Chip 4.0 offers ECO, SMART, CUSTOM, NORMAL and TC modes, so you can tune wattage and temperature rather than accept a preset.
Best if you want both a tight and a wide draw - The Drag 6: the Uforce-X 2 tank handles both DTL and MTL with rotary airflow adjustment, so one kit covers both styles.
A note on the Armour Octa - it is the most heavily armoured kit in the table, rated IP69K and IP68 for dust and water and MIL-STD-810H for drops, but it is out of stock at the moment. Worth asking about if durability is your priority.
Prefer something simpler than a box mod? A closed pod system needs no setup at all, and an open pod system sits between the two.
What a Starter Kit Includes - and What It Does Not
External batteries are usually separate. The Aegis Legend 5 and the Armour Octa take dual 18650 cells which are sold separately. Budget for a matched pair and an external charger; see our batteries and chargers pages.
E-liquid is never included. Sub-ohm kits like these pair best with freebase e-liquid at lower nicotine strengths rather than salt nicotine.
Coils wear out. Kits ship with one or two coils. Check which coil family your tank uses and keep spares on hand - replacement coils are stocked separately.
Charging. Every kit here charges over USB Type-C, but charging dual cells externally is gentler on them and keeps the pair matched.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in a vape starter kit?
A kit pairs a device with the tank or pod it was designed for, plus a charging cable and usually one or two coils. E-liquid is not included, and on kits that take removable 18650 cells the batteries are sold separately.
Do I need to buy batteries separately?
For the GeekVape Aegis Legend 5 and the Vaporesso Armour Octa, yes - they take dual 18650 cells which are sold separately. The VooPoo Drag 6 has a built-in 4400 mAh battery and needs nothing extra.
Which starter kit is best for a beginner?
If this is your first device, a kit with a built-in battery removes the most complexity. The VooPoo Drag 6 is the all-in-one option here. If you want something simpler still, a closed pod system needs no setup at all.
What e-liquid should I use with a starter kit?
Sub-ohm kits like these produce a lot of vapour, so they pair best with freebase e-liquid at lower nicotine strengths. Salt nicotine at high strength is intended for low-power pod devices, not sub-ohm tanks.
How do I look after dual-battery kits?
Use a matched pair of cells, charge them together, and replace them as a pair. Charging externally on a multi-bay charger keeps them at the same level, which is what dual-battery mods expect.
Can I use a different tank on my kit?
Yes, if it is a 510 device. All the box mods here take standard 510 tanks, so you can change tank without changing mod. Check the tank diameter against the top of the mod first.
Where can I buy a vape starter kit in Canada?
NYX Vape ships across Canada with free shipping on orders over $99 and stocks kits at all six Ontario retail locations where staff can walk you through the options. Same-day local delivery across the Toronto GTA is free on orders over $75.
