Vaporesso VM Stick 18 Starter Kit

Vaporesso VM Stick 18 Starter Kit

A pen-style MTL kit built for people who want something simple. The Vaporesso VM Stick 18 pairs a 1200mAh built-in battery with the VM Tank 18, a small top-fill tank that comes with two EUC coils in the box so you can pick your draw. No wattage dial, no menus, just five clicks to switch it on and a single button to vape.

The zinc-alloy shell keeps it light enough for a jacket pocket, and the adjustable airflow ring at the base lets you tighten or loosen the pull to taste. It's one of the easier kits we stock for anyone stepping away from cigarettes for the first time.

Why vapers choose this:

• Genuinely low maintenance with no settings, wattage curves, or screens to learn

• Two coils in the box means you get to try both draws before committing to one

• 1200mAh battery that comfortably covers a full day for most MTL users

• Compact, pen-shaped body that sits in a pocket without printing

• A five-click safety lock stops it firing by accident in a bag

Vaporesso VM Stick 18 Starter Kit Features

Built-In 1200mAh Battery

The battery sits inside the device itself, so there's no cell to buy, swap, or match against a charger's output. It's rated for roughly a day of typical MTL use before it needs topping up, and the supplied USB cable gets it back to full in around 60 minutes. Just remember to charge it on 1A only, since anything stronger isn't something the internal circuit is built to take.

Direct Voltage Output

Rather than juggling wattage settings, the VM Stick 18 runs on a straightforward voltage-based system that stays consistent through most of the charge cycle. Flavour and vapour don't dip noticeably as the battery runs down, which matters more than people expect once they've used a device that tapers off toward the end of the day.

VM Tank 18 with Dual Coil Options

The tank holds 2ml and threads onto the device with a top-fill cap, so refilling doesn't mean pulling anything apart. It ships with both a 1.0Ω CCELL coil for a tight, smooth pull and a 0.6Ω mesh coil for slightly more cloud and flavour, both from Vaporesso's wider Vape Coils range if you need spares down the line.

Adjustable Bottom Airflow

A rotating ring at the base of the tank lets you dial the draw tighter or looser depending on mood or which coil you've got fitted. It's a small feature, but for anyone still working out what kind of pull they prefer, being able to adjust the airflow without buying a different tank is genuinely useful.

Compact Zinc-Alloy Build

The whole thing is built from zinc alloy with a polished finish, giving it a bit of heft without making it bulky. At 124mm long and pen-shaped, it slips into a pocket the way a lighter would, and the single fire button means there's nothing else on the body to accidentally knock or adjust.

Vaporesso VM Stick 18 Starter Kit Colour Options

The VM Stick 18 comes in four finishes, so there's a bit of room to match it to your style without changing anything about how it performs.

How to Set Up the Vaporesso VM Stick 18 Starter Kit

1. Unscrew the tank's top cap and fill it with up to 2ml of your chosen e-liquid, then screw the cap back on.

2. Let the tank sit for five minutes so the coil's cotton fully soaks before you fire it.

3. Click the fire button five times quickly to turn the device on.

4. Hold the fire button while you inhale, and rotate the airflow ring at the base to loosen or tighten the draw to taste.

Swapping coils later is just as simple: unscrew the base, pull the old coil out, push the new one in, add a couple of drops of e-liquid to the cotton to prime it, then screw the base back on before refilling.

Built for MTL Vapers Who Want Simplicity

This kit is designed to work as a complete pairing rather than a mix-and-match system, so there's nothing extra to source before you can start vaping. It's compatible with Vaporesso's EUC Coil Series across resistances from 0.6Ω to 1.0Ω, and the VM Tank 18 fits the device without any threading issues or airflow gaps to worry about.

If you're coming from disposables or an older cig-a-like and want a Refillable Pod Kit style setup that doesn't need much thought, this covers that fairly well without asking you to learn a new system.

About Vaporesso

Vaporesso launched in 2015 and now sits under SMOORE, one of the larger names in vaping hardware manufacturing. The brand is based in Shenzhen and has built a reputation on straightforward, well-made devices that don't overcomplicate the vaping experience, with a product range that spans simple starter pens like this one right through to higher-output pod mods.

Their line carries the tagline "Move Beyond Ordinary," and it's a fair summary of how the brand approaches design: clean, functional, and reliably built. Pirate Vapes stocks a good spread of the Vaporesso catalogue alongside other MTL Vape Kits if you want to compare before deciding.

Stock Up and Save

We keep the VM Stick 18 in stock regularly so you're not stuck waiting on a restock when a coil finally gives out. Every order goes out properly packed and tracked, and we check stock levels before dispatch so what you order is what actually ships, no substitutions without asking first.

All our devices and coils are sold in line with UK TPD requirements, and checkout is age-verified as standard, 18+ only. Pirate Vapes ships across the UK with tracked delivery on every order, so you can order with a bit of confidence that it'll turn up in one piece and on time.

Conclusion

The VM Stick 18 is a good fit if you want a starter kit that doesn't ask much of you, charge it, fill the tank, pick a coil, and go. The two included coils give you a genuine choice between a tight cigarette-style draw and a slightly more open, flavour-forward pull, and the adjustable airflow means you're not locked into either.

It won't suit anyone chasing big clouds or wattage tinkering, but for straightforward MTL vaping in a compact, pocket-friendly body, it does exactly what it's meant to. Pirate Vapes has it in stock across all four colourways for UK delivery.

FAQs

How do I turn the device on and off?

Click the fire button five times quickly. The same five-click action switches it off again, and it doubles as a safety lock so it won't fire by accident in a bag or pocket.

Which coil should I start with?

Start with the 1.0Ω coil if you want something close to a cigarette draw. Try the 0.6Ω mesh coil if you'd rather have a bit more vapour and stronger flavour.

How long does it take to charge fully?

Around 60 minutes on the supplied USB cable, provided you're charging on a 1A source. It isn't built to handle stronger charging currents.

Can I use it while it's plugged in and charging?

It's best avoided. Vaping while it charges puts extra strain on the battery and can shorten its lifespan over time, so it's worth waiting until it's finished.

What kind of e-liquid works best in this kit?

Nic salts or 50/50 e-liquids suit the coils well. Higher VG juices can struggle to wick properly in a tank this size, so it's best to stay away from anything too thick.

Is this kit suitable for a complete beginner?

Yes, it's one of the more beginner-friendly kits around. There's no wattage to set, no menu to navigate, and the two coils give new vapers an easy way to figure out which draw style they prefer.
