Intermediate Vape Kits
Intermediate Vape Kits
There comes a point in every vaper's journey when a basic pod kit stops being enough. The battery runs out too quickly, the flavour feels flat, the draw is too restricted, and the settings offer no room to experiment. If that sounds familiar, this collection is exactly where you need to be. The Intermediate Vape Kits range at No1 Vape Wholesale has been put together for vapers who have moved past the basics and want something more capable, more customisable, and better suited to genuine daily use over the long term.
Every device in this collection sits within our broader Prefilled and Refillable Vape Kits range and has been selected specifically because it delivers a meaningful performance upgrade over beginner devices without crossing into the complexity of full advanced mod setups. For wholesale buyers and vape retailers, the intermediate category is one of the strongest repeat-purchase segments in the UK market, attracting customers who are upgrading from starter kits and disposable vape users who want the full refillable experience from their first serious device.
Performance Without Unnecessary Complexity
Intermediate vape kits occupy a specific and important space in the vaping market. They are built for users who already understand how to fill a pod, replace a coil, and charge a battery, and who now want to move beyond those basics into adjustable wattage, better airflow control, and stronger vapour output. What makes this category distinct from advanced mods is that it maintains practical everyday usability throughout. These are not devices that require extensive technical knowledge to operate well. They are devices that reward a vaper who wants more from their hardware without demanding they become an expert to get the most out of it. For retailers, this means intermediate kits appeal to a wide customer base that includes upgrading beginners, returning vapers, and experienced users who prefer a capable yet portable daily carry device.
The Strongest Repeat-Purchase Segment in UK Vaping
From a wholesale and retail perspective, the intermediate vape kit category generates stronger long-term revenue than any other segment of the hardware market. Customers who invest in an intermediate device tend to stay in the vaping ecosystem for longer because their experience is more satisfying than what a basic pod kit delivers. They return for replacement coils, compatible pods, and e-liquid consistently over weeks and months. Moreover, intermediate kit users are more likely to explore different e-liquid flavours as their setup improves, which adds further basket value on each return visit. At No1 Vape Wholesale, the 5% discount on all products, free delivery on orders over £200, and same-day dispatch make stocking this category a straightforward decision for any UK wholesale buyer.
Adjustable Wattage
Users can increase or decrease power output to control flavour intensity and vapour density. This single feature changes the vaping experience more than any other upgrade available at this level
Larger Battery Capacity
Intermediate kits carry significantly more battery capacity than basic pod devices, which means genuine all-day use without the anxiety of running out during a commute or a working shift
Replaceable Coil Systems
Rather than replacing the entire pod when flavour drops, intermediate kits allow users to swap only the coil. This reduces ongoing costs significantly and gives users more control over performance maintenance
Flexible Airflow Control
Adjustable airflow rings let users switch between a tight mouth-to-lung draw and a more open direct-lung style within the same device, making intermediate kits far more versatile than fixed-airflow beginner options
Stronger Flavour from Better Mesh Coil Technology
The mesh coil technology used across this range heats e-liquid across a wider surface area than the basic coils in beginner pod kits. The result is noticeably richer, more detailed flavour that holds its quality from the first puff through to coil replacement. For vapers who have felt disappointed by the flat or muted taste from cheaper devices, this difference alone is often enough to make the upgrade worthwhile immediately.
All-Day Battery Life That Actually Delivers
Battery anxiety is one of the most common complaints among users of basic pod kits. Intermediate kits address this directly with larger internal batteries or external battery support that provides genuine all-day vaping without needing a top-up at lunchtime. For vapers who vape heavily throughout the working day, this is not a minor convenience upgrade. It is a fundamental quality-of-life improvement that often determines whether someone stays in the vaping habit long term.
Advanced Chipset Safety and Protection
Intermediate kits include modern chipsets that provide automatic protection against overheating, short circuits, overcharging, and low battery output. These safeguards are absent or much more basic in entry-level devices, and they matter for users who vape frequently throughout the day across different temperature environments. Moreover, these protections also extend the lifespan of the coil by preventing the power spikes that degrade coil performance prematurely.
Lower Running Costs Over Time
Replacing a coil on an intermediate kit costs significantly less than buying a new prefilled pod for a basic system, and far less than purchasing a new disposable device. For a vaper who goes through one coil per week, the annual saving over a pod-replacement system is substantial. In addition, the ability to use any compatible e-liquid rather than being locked into a single brand or flavour range gives users far more value from their device investment across every refill.
Durable Build Quality for Daily Carry
Several kits in this collection, including the Geekvape Aegis Hero 2 and the Smok Scar P-3, are built to withstand the kind of daily use that basic pod kits simply are not designed for. Shockproof and dustproof construction on certain models means these devices survive being dropped, carried in a bag with keys and coins, or used outdoors in conditions where a standard pod kit would show damage quickly. As a result, customers who buy at this level tend to return for coils and e-liquid rather than replacement devices.
Wholesale Revenue Through Consistent Accessories
For retail and wholesale buyers, intermediate kit customers are among the most commercially valuable in the vaping market. A customer who purchases one of these devices returns regularly for replacement coils, compatible e-liquid, and eventually an upgrade to the next tier. At No1 Vape Wholesale, every order on this range benefits from a 5% discount on all products, free delivery over £200, same-day dispatch, and a fast refund policy that keeps your operation running smoothly at all times.
The Smok Scar P-3 is built around a core idea that most intermediate kits overlook: durability is just as important as performance for a daily carry device. The shockproof, rugged construction means this kit handles the wear and tear of everyday life without showing it, making it a particularly strong recommendation for active users, tradespeople, and anyone who puts their device through more than a typical office vaper would. The adjustable wattage system and leak-resistant pod design cover the performance fundamentals reliably, while the SMOK brand name gives it immediate recognition at retail that shortens the sales conversation significantly. For wholesale buyers looking for an intermediate kit that reduces return rates due to physical damage, the Scar P-3 is one of the most practical choices in the range.
- Build: Shockproof and rugged construction
- Wattage: Adjustable power output
- Pod System: Leak-resistant sealed design
- Charging: Fast USB-C charging
- Brand Recognition: The SMOK name drives retail conversion
- Compliance: UK TPD compliant
The Smok OSUB 80W sits at the more accessible end of the intermediate category and works particularly well as a first upgrade for users moving from compact pod kits into adjustable wattage devices. With output up to 80W from a built-in battery, the OSUB delivers genuine sub-ohm performance in a compact, ergonomic body that does not feel intimidating for users who are still relatively new to adjustable hardware. The straightforward interface keeps the learning curve manageable while the adjustable airflow gives users enough flexibility to explore different draw styles as their confidence grows. For retailers, the OSUB 80W occupies an important price point that allows for a healthy margin while offering customers a significant, clearly communicated performance step up from what they have been using.
- Max Wattage: Up to 80W
- Battery: Built-in rechargeable cell
- Design: Compact ergonomic body
- Airflow: Adjustable for MTL and restricted DTL
- Interface: Simple controls, low learning curve
- Compliance: UK TPD compliant
The Oxva Origin 2 brings a smart chipset and pod-mod format together in a device that is genuinely versatile across different vaping styles. The adjustable airflow system supports everything from a tighter MTL draw to a more open restricted DTL experience, which means the Origin 2 does not force users into a single vaping style the way that many intermediate kits do. Battery efficiency is one of its strongest attributes, with the built-in cell delivering noticeably longer sessions between charges than competing devices at a similar price point. For vapers who have tried a few kits and want something they can genuinely settle into for the long term without feeling the urge to upgrade again in six months, the Oxva Origin 2 is one of the most satisfying options in this collection. Retailers also find it generates strong repeat coil purchases due to the Oxva pod system's wide availability across the UK wholesale.
- Chipset: Smart power delivery system
- Airflow: Fully adjustable for MTL and restricted DTL
- Battery: High-efficiency built-in cell
- Design: Compact pod-mod format
- Coil System: Widely available Oxva pod range
- Compliance: UK TPD compliant
The OBS KFB2 takes a flavour-first approach to intermediate vaping that sets it apart from the more performance-oriented devices in this collection. The refillable tank system and balanced airflow design work together to produce a smooth, refined vapour experience that prioritises taste quality over raw cloud output, making it an excellent recommendation for vapers who came from the nicotine salt world and want to keep flavour as the primary focus as they step up to a more capable device. The comfortable grip design and reliable coil compatibility make it a practical daily carry kit, and the OBS KFB2 appeals particularly well to users who are more interested in enjoying their e-liquid than in exploring the technical capabilities of their hardware. For retailers, it fills a specific niche in the intermediate category that is not well served by the more wattage-focused alternatives.
- Focus: Flavour quality and smooth vapour
- Tank System: Refillable with easy top-fill access
- Airflow: Balanced design for consistent draw
- Build: Comfortable ergonomic grip
- Coil System: Reliable and widely available range
- Compliance: UK TPD compliant
The Innokin Kroma R has built a strong reputation in the intermediate market on the back of Innokin's long-standing focus on battery efficiency and consistent, reliable performance over flashy specifications. The high-capacity battery support and adjustable wattage controls give users the power and flexibility they need from an intermediate device, while the clear display and ergonomic design keep operation accessible for users who are making their first serious upgrade from a basic pod system. The Kroma R is particularly well-suited to nicotine salt e-liquids at lower wattage settings, which makes it a practical bridge device for users who are not yet ready to move fully into freebase high-VG territory. For wholesale buyers, the Innokin name carries credibility among vapers who prioritise reliability and Innokin's customer reputation above specifications alone.
- Battery: High-capacity cell with excellent efficiency
- Wattage: Adjustable output with clear display
- Build: Durable ergonomic construction
- Compatibility: Nicotine salts and freebase e-liquids
- Brand: Innokin reliability reputation
- Compliance: UK TPD compliant
The Geekvape H45 Aegis Hero 2 is the most rugged and physically resilient device in this collection, built to Geekvape's tri-proof standard, which covers shock, dust, and water resistance. For active vapers who work outdoors, exercise regularly, or simply put their devices through harder daily use than most, the Aegis Hero 2 delivers intermediate-level performance in a casing that is genuinely built to last. The adjustable airflow, fast charging capability, and excellent coil longevity from the H45 coil range make it a practical all-around intermediate kit as well as a durable one. Moreover, the Geekvape Aegis name is one of the most recognised durability brands in the UK vaping market, which makes the Hero 2 an easy retail sell to any customer who has damaged a previous device and wants something that will survive real-world conditions reliably.
- Build Standard: Tri-proof (shock, dust, water resistant)
- Airflow: Adjustable for personalised draw
- Charging: Fast USB-C charging
- Coil System: H45 coil range with strong longevity
- Brand: Geekvape Aegis durability recognition
- Compliance: UK TPD compliant
Smok Scar P-3 and Geekvape Aegis Hero 2
Both of these kits are built for users who need their hardware to survive real daily conditions. The Scar P-3 handles drops and daily wear through shockproof construction while the Aegis Hero 2 adds full tri-proof protection against dust and water. Either device is the right recommendation for active users, outdoor workers, and anyone who has damaged a previous kit and wants something genuinely tough this time.
Smok OSUB 80W and Oxva Origin 2
The OSUB 80W and Origin 2 both deliver strong adjustable wattage performance in compact, manageable formats. The OSUB is the more accessible entry into sub-ohm intermediate vaping, while the Origin 2 adds smarter chipset technology and better airflow flexibility for users who want to explore different draw styles within the same device. Both are strong recommendations for vapers upgrading from their first pod kit.
OBS KFB2 and Innokin Kroma R
The OBS KFB2 and Innokin Kroma R both prioritise the quality of the vaping experience over headline wattage figures. The KFB2 focuses on flavour consistency through its balanced tank and airflow system while the Kroma R delivers Innokin's well-established reliability and battery efficiency in an intermediate format. Both suit vapers who have moved past the basics and want a device that performs consistently day after day without requiring constant attention.
| Kit | Key Strength | Best User Type | Output Level |
|---|---|---|---|
| Smok Scar P-3 | Shockproof rugged build | Active and outdoor users | Adjustable wattage |
| Smok OSUB 80W | Compact sub-ohm performance | First upgrade from pod kits | Up to 80W |
| Oxva Origin 2 | Smart chipset and airflow flexibility | Versatile everyday vapers | Adjustable pod-mod |
| OBS KFB2 | Flavour consistency and smoothness | Flavour-focused users | Balanced tank wattage |
| Innokin Kroma R | Battery efficiency and reliability | Long-session daily users | Adjustable wattage |
| Geekvape Aegis Hero 2 | Tri-proof durability standard | Rugged daily carry users | Adjustable pod-mod |
🍓 Fruity and Tropical Blends
Blueberry Raspberry, Triple Mango, Watermelon Ice, and Cherry Cola are consistently popular across intermediate kits. The stronger coil output brings out the natural fruit character of these profiles more vividly than lower-wattage pod systems can, which is one of the reasons many vapers find their favourite flavour changes when they upgrade their hardware.
🍮 Dessert and Sweet
Vanilla Custard, Caramel Tobacco, and Gummy Candy flavours are particularly well-suited to sub-ohm mesh coils because the higher temperature operation enhances the warm, complex character of sweet and creamy profiles. These blends perform best in devices running between 40W and 80W with a high-VG e-liquid in the 70VG/30PG range.
❄️ Menthol and Ice
Fresh Mint, Spearmint Ice, and Blue Raspberry Ice remain among the most ordered flavour categories across intermediate refillable kits. The cooling sensation of these profiles is enhanced by the denser vapour production that intermediate wattage levels provide, giving each inhale a more satisfying and pronounced chill compared to what lower-wattage pod kits deliver.
🚬 Tobacco and Classic
A significant number of intermediate kit users continue using tobacco-inspired e-liquids, particularly smooth caramel tobacco and classic Virginia tobacco profiles. These vapers are often former smokers who have progressed through a beginner kit and now want stronger vapour delivery from a familiar flavour base as they settle into a long-term vaping routine.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an intermediate vape kit?
An intermediate vape kit is a device designed for vapers who have moved beyond basic pod systems and want adjustable wattage, better battery life, improved coil performance, and more airflow flexibility without entering the complexity of full advanced mod setups. Every kit in this collection sits comfortably between beginner pod kits and high-end mods.
Are intermediate kits suitable for complete beginners?
They are better suited to users who have already spent some time with a basic pod kit and understand how to fill, charge, and maintain a simple vaping device. Complete beginners would generally be better served starting with a simpler kit from our First Time Switcher collection before upgrading to this range.
Which intermediate kit is the most durable?
The Geekvape H45 Aegis Hero 2 is the most physically robust device in this collection, built to tri-proof standards covering shock, dust, and water resistance. The Smok Scar P-3 also offers strong shockproof construction for users who need a rugged everyday carry device.
Do intermediate kits work with nicotine salt e-liquids?
Yes, most intermediate kits in this collection are compatible with nicotine salt e-liquids, particularly at lower wattage settings between 15W and 30W. The Innokin Kroma R and Oxva Origin 2 are especially well-suited to nicotine salt use at moderate wattage levels.
What type of e-liquid works best in these kits?
Mid-wattage kits in this range perform best with 50/50 VG/PG e-liquids at 3mg to 6mg freebase nicotine for balanced flavour and vapour. Higher-wattage configurations on the OSUB 80W and Scar P-3 work particularly well with high-VG blends at 70VG/30PG or above for denser cloud production.
How often should coils be replaced in an intermediate kit?
Most mesh coils in intermediate kits last between one and two weeks under regular daily use. Priming the coil correctly before first use, starting at a lower wattage and building up gradually, and keeping the tank topped up are the three most effective habits for extending coil lifespan significantly.
What is adjustable wattage, and why does it matter?
Adjustable wattage lets users increase or decrease the power output of their device to control vapour density and flavour intensity. At lower wattages, flavour is typically more precise and coil life is longer. At higher wattages, vapour production is denser, and the throat hit is stronger. This flexibility is one of the key upgrades that separates intermediate kits from fixed-output beginner devices.
Are all these products legal and TPD compliant in the UK?
Yes. Every kit in this collection is fully TPD compliant, MHRA-notified, and sourced from verified UK-approved distributors. All products meet UK TRPR requirements and are completely legal to stock and sell through retail and wholesale channels.
Can wholesale buyers order intermediate kits in bulk?
Absolutely. No1 Vape Wholesale is built for wholesale retail buyers. Every order receives a 5% discount across all products, same-day dispatch, and free delivery on orders over £200 as standard, with no minimum quantities or product restrictions applied.
What is the refund policy at No1 Vape Wholesale for these kits?
No1 Vape Wholesale operates a fast refund policy on all orders. If you receive a faulty or incorrect item, contact our team and the issue will be resolved promptly to keep your retail business running without any unnecessary interruption or delay.
