10 Best Innokin Vapes (2026) - MTL, RDL & DTL Kits

If you want a tight, cigarette-style draw from a device that just works, Innokin is one of the first brands to look at. The Sceptre Pod Kit is the safest all-round pick, the Endura V is the easiest step off a disposable, and the Coolfire Z80 NEX is where the range reaches its higher-powered end. Everything else fits between those three points.

This guide runs through the ten best Innokin devices currently stocked at Innokin Vapes on Pirate Vapes, what each is built for, and a plain answer to the coil family question. The list sticks to what's actually in stock, not the wider Innokin catalogue.

Key Takeaways:

• Innokin is a mouth-to-lung specialist. Most of the range is built around a tight, restricted draw rather than clouds.

• Endura is the beginner-friendly line, Sceptre and Ne-Mo are the everyday pod kits, and Kroma and Coolfire are the higher-powered mod kits.

• Ex-disposable users are best served by the Endura V, Jem Pen or Go S.

• Fixed-coil pods and separate coil families like Z-Coil, T18 and S-Coil are not interchangeable. Match the model, then the coil.

• Only the Kroma 217 Z Force and Coolfire Z80 NEX push into real sub-ohm territory.

• Every Innokin kit here is reusable, TPD compliant, and legal to sell under the post-June 2025 rules.

Best Innokin Vapes At A Glance

Draw style and coil family are the two things that decide whether a device suits you, so they lead the table.

The Best Innokin Devices Reviewed

The list runs from the simplest pod kits at the top to the higher-powered mod kits at the bottom. Each entry says what the kit is, who it suits, and where it sits in the Innokin family.

1. Innokin Endura V Pod Kit: Best for Beginners and Ex-Disposable Users

The Endura V strips vaping back to the essentials. Draw activation, a 2ml refillable pod, USB-C charging, no wattage settings. Fill, wait a few minutes, and pull.

#product

https://piratevapes.co.uk/products/innokin-endura-v-pod-kit

That's exactly the appeal for anyone stepping off a disposable and not looking to learn a new format. Pair it with a 20mg nic salt in a familiar flavour and the transition takes minutes rather than hours.

Not the kit for someone chasing tuning options, but the cheapest way into Innokin's tight-draw ecosystem.

2. Innokin Endura Apex Vape Kit: Best New MTL Kit

The Endura Apex is the current generation of the Endura line, built around Z-Coil compatibility and a cleaner control layout than the older Endura kits. It's still an MTL-first device, but with more room to fine-tune the draw through airflow adjustment and coil resistance.

#product

https://piratevapes.co.uk/products/innokin-endura-apex-vape-kit

If you've moved through a couple of pod kits and want a refined Endura without stepping up to a mod, the Apex is the natural pick.

Pairs well with a 50/50 nic salt in a higher-strength blend. Sensible battery life and a modern refill port round it off.

3. Innokin Endura T18ii Mini Vape Kit: Best Classic Pen-Style MTL

The Endura T18ii Mini is the pen-style Endura that helped set the template for MTL vaping in the UK. Prism T18E replacement coils, a familiar pen form factor, and one of the tightest draws in the current range.

#product

https://piratevapes.co.uk/products/innokin-endura-t18ii-mini-vape-kit

Cigarette users who tried an earlier T18 years ago will find the T18ii Mini reassuringly similar. The pen shape sits between the fingers naturally, and there's no screen or menus to work through.

A high-strength nic salt or 50/50 freebase suits the format. Straightforward, unshowy, and still the honest answer for a lot of ex-smokers.

4. Innokin Go S Vape Pen Kit: Best Compact MTL Pen

The Go S shrinks the pen format further. Slimmer than the T18ii Mini, lighter in the hand, and built around a compact battery with matching low-resistance coils. It's the kit to look at when pocket size beats every other consideration.

#product

https://piratevapes.co.uk/products/innokin-go-s-vape-pen-kit

The draw stays MTL firmly, so a 20mg nic salt is again the natural pairing. Battery life is more modest than the T18ii Mini given the smaller cell, but overnight charging via the supplied cable keeps it running day to day.

A neat second device to carry when you don't want a full pod mod in your pocket.

5. Innokin Jem Pen Starter Kit: Best Ultra-Simple Starter

The Jem Pen is built for someone who wants the least possible fuss. A compact pen body, a fixed draw, and coils designed to deliver a warm MTL pull without any settings to configure. Charge, fill, vape.

#product

https://piratevapes.co.uk/products/innokin-jem-pen-kit

That simplicity is the point. There's no menu, no wattage screen, and nothing to break beyond the coil.

For adult beginners who found even the Endura V too much to think about, the Jem removes the last remaining step. Ongoing running costs stay low thanks to replaceable coils rather than sealed pods.

6. Innokin Sceptre Pod Kit: Best All-Round Pod Kit

The Sceptre is the pod kit most Innokin buyers should look at first. It gives you what the Endura pens don't: airflow adjustment, a choice of coil resistances, and a pod format that suits modern nic salts. MTL through to a mild restricted lung draw, from the same device.

#product

https://piratevapes.co.uk/products/innokin-sceptre-pod-kit

That's the kind of range that keeps a device in daily use for months. A tighter Sceptre coil with a 20mg salt covers the cigarette-style pull, while a lower-resistance head opens the draw for a warmer vape.

Solid battery life and one of the neater refill systems in the Innokin range.

7. Innokin Ne-Mo Vape Pod Kit: Best Budget Refillable Pod

The Ne-Mo sits at the value end of the pod range. It doesn't have the Sceptre's adjustment options, but it does the essentials well: a refillable 2ml pod, USB-C charging, and a tight enough draw to satisfy a MTL vaper on a budget.

#product

https://piratevapes.co.uk/products/innokin-ne-mo-vape-kit

The trade-off is flexibility. There's less to fine-tune, and coil choice is narrower. That said, if you want a spare Innokin to leave at work or in the car, the Ne-Mo does the job for under twelve pounds.

Pairs comfortably with any 50/50 salt from the wider nic salt range.

8. Innokin Kroma-Nova Vape Kit: Best Mid-Range Mod Kit

The Kroma-Nova is where the Innokin range moves from pod kits into mod territory. Bigger built-in battery, more wattage on tap, and pairs with a tank rather than a fixed pod. It sits between the compact Sceptre and the higher-powered Kroma 217.

#product

https://piratevapes.co.uk/products/innokin-kroma-nova-kit

Innokin has kept the Kroma-Nova approachable rather than overwhelming. Airflow opens up for a warmer restricted lung draw, and there's enough control to fine-tune wattage without the menu getting complicated.

A sensible upgrade for a vaper who wants more device than a pod kit but isn't ready for external batteries.

9. Innokin Kroma 217 Z Force Vape Kit: Best Higher-Power Mod Kit

The Kroma 217 Z Force takes the Kroma platform up to 100W and pairs it with a Z Force tank running Z-Coils. That combination pushes the kit into genuine RDL and mild DTL territory, which is rare for an Innokin device.

#product

https://piratevapes.co.uk/products/innokin-kroma-217-z-force-vape-kit

The built-in battery keeps it simpler to run than an external-cell mod, and the Z-Coil platform gives you access to a wider resistance range than the smaller Kroma-Nova manages.

This is the kit for a vaper who wants more warmth and airflow but doesn't want to jump to a dual-battery flagship. Pair with a 60/40 or 70/30 e-liquid.

10. Innokin Coolfire Z80 NEX Vape Tank Kit: Best Sub-Ohm Tank Kit

The Coolfire Z80 NEX is the higher-powered end of the Innokin range. Coolfire mod, NEX tank, Z-Coil compatibility, and enough wattage headroom for a full sub-ohm setup.

#product

https://piratevapes.co.uk/products/innokin-coolfire-z80-nex-vape-tank-kit

This is the kit for a vaper who has decided a warmer, cloudier draw is what they want, and who wants Innokin build quality on the mod side rather than switching brands.

Pair with a high-VG shortfill and a low-resistance Z-Coil for the intended experience. The biggest outlay in the Innokin range at Pirate Vapes and the least MTL device on this list, which is exactly why it earns its place.

How Do You Choose the Right Innokin Device?

Innokin is a brand where the draw style narrows the choice quickly. Pick the format that matches how tight or airy you want the pull, then let the coil family and battery size settle the rest.

For Beginners and Ex-Disposable Users

The Endura V, Jem Pen and Go S are the three simplest routes in. All are draw-activated or single-button, all pen or compact pod formats, and all priced under £15.

If you want the muscle memory of a disposable without the environmental hit or the sale ban, this is the tier to look at. The wider Pod Kits Collection sits alongside for cross-brand comparison.

For MTL and Nic Salt Vapers

The Sceptre and Endura Apex are the strongest picks. Both give you enough airflow adjustment to dial the draw down to a genuine cigarette-style pull, and both work well with a 20mg Nic Salt in a 50-50 E-Liquid blend.

Higher-resistance coils close the draw further if you want it tighter still. The wider MTL Vape Kits collection lines Innokin up against Aspire and other MTL-focused brands.

For RDL and Restricted-Lung Vapers

The Kroma 217 Z Force and Coolfire Z80 NEX are the two devices in the Innokin range built for a warmer, airier pull. Both use the Z-Coil platform, both handle higher-VG liquids, and both push into low-ohm territory the pod kits don't reach.

Look across the wider Vape Mods collection if you want to compare against VooPoo and Geekvape at this end.

What Makes Innokin Devices Different?

Innokin's identity sits in one place: The tight draw. Where much of the market chased power and cloud production over the last decade, Innokin kept refining mouth-to-lung hardware, and that focus is why the brand still comes up first when someone asks for a cigarette-style vape.

The T18 and Endura families are the historical anchors. T18 coils have been in continuous production for years, which means spares stay easy to find and older devices remain viable long after their launch. The Z-Coil platform is the newer, more versatile system, used across the Endura Apex, Kroma 217 and Coolfire Z80 to give a broader resistance range in a single family.

Sceptre and Ne-Mo run their own coils, which trip up buyers who assume "Innokin coil" means one thing. It doesn't. Confirm the specific coil family on your device before ordering Innokin Z Coils or any other head, and use the Replacement Pods section when your kit uses sealed pods rather than separate coils.

Are Innokin Devices UK Compliant?

Yes. Every Innokin device stocked at Pirate Vapes is a reusable kit, which sits on the right side of the rules that came into force on 1 June 2025. A UK-legal reusable vape needs a rechargeable battery, a refillable liquid container, and a replaceable coil where a coil is used. Innokin's range meets those requirements across every model on this list.

The rest of the UK vape rulebook still applies. Pods and tanks are capped at 2ml, nicotine refill bottles at 10ml, and nicotine strength at 20mg/ml. Every kit here is TPD Compliant, and checkout is age-verified for over-18s only. Anyone moving over from a disposable now that the ban has been in force for over a year will find similar-format Innokin options in the wider Rechargeable Vapes collection.

Which Innokin Vape Should You Actually Buy?

The Sceptre for most people. It's the most balanced device in the range: airflow adjustment, coil choice, sensible battery life, pocket-friendly size, and a price that doesn't scare off a first-time refillable buyer.

If you're switching straight off a disposable and want the shortest learning curve, the Endura V is the honest answer. If you want the classic pen-style tight draw, the Endura T18ii Mini or Go S have you covered.

If you're ready to step up to a mod, the Kroma-Nova is the sensible middle ground, and the Kroma 217 Z Force is where the range hits its higher-powered stride. And if you've already decided you want a warmer sub-ohm draw, the Coolfire Z80 NEX is the flagship pick.

No single kit fits everyone. Match the draw to how you'll actually vape, and the rest sorts itself out.

How We Picked These Innokin Devices

The list is drawn from Innokin kits currently in stock at Pirate Vapes, not the wider Innokin catalogue. Every device is reusable, TPD compliant, and covers a distinct format or draw style so the shortlist isn't ten variations on the same theme.

Pricing runs from under £12 for the simplest pen kits to £42.99 for the higher-powered Coolfire Z80 NEX, so there's an option for every stage from ex-disposable user to established mod vaper. Compare Innokin against other brands through the wider Best Refillable Pod Kits collection.

Conclusion

Innokin remains the brand to shortlist first when a tight draw matters more than raw power. The Sceptre is the safest all-round pick, the Endura V and Jem Pen make the switch off a disposable straightforward, and the Kroma 217 Z Force and Coolfire Z80 NEX give the range genuine higher-power options.

Every device on this list is stocked, TPD compliant, and covered by a coil or pod family that's easy to restock.

FAQs

Are Innokin vapes good for beginners switching from disposables?

Yes. The Endura V, Jem Pen and Go S are all draw-activated or single-button kits with refillable pods and USB charging. The muscle memory of a disposable transfers over inside a session or two.

What's the difference between Innokin's Z-Coil and T18 coil systems?

T18 is the older, tighter MTL platform, used in the Endura T18ii Mini and its replacement coils. Z-Coil is the newer, more versatile family, spanning MTL through mild sub-ohm in devices like the Kroma 217 and Coolfire Z80 NEX.

How long do Innokin coils last?

One to two weeks of daily use is typical for a MTL coil at low wattage with a 50/50 blend. Sweeter dessert liquids gunk coils faster than lighter fruit or menthol. A burnt taste is the change signal, not a fixed date.

Can I use nic salts in an Innokin pod kit?

Yes, and it's the natural pairing for the MTL pods. A 20mg or 10mg salt in a 50/50 blend suits the Endura V, Sceptre, Ne-Mo and any of the pen kits. Sub-ohm setups like the Coolfire Z80 NEX want high-VG shortfills instead.

What is the difference between the Endura, Sceptre and Kroma ranges?

Endura is Innokin's beginner-friendly MTL line, spanning pens and simple pod kits. Sceptre is the everyday refillable pod range with more adjustment. Kroma is the higher-powered mod range, running larger batteries and Z-Coil compatibility for RDL and mild DTL draws.

How do I know my Innokin device is genuine?

Buy from a UK retailer that stocks through official channels. Every Innokin kit at Pirate Vapes is genuine UK-market stock, with the authenticity scratch panel on the box where Innokin provides one. Prices well below the market usually mean the product isn't what it claims to be.
