Why trust Innokin (and this guide)?
Innokin has been building vapes since 2011 and is one of the few brands that survived every regulation change with its reputation intact. At the 2024 Ecigclick Vape Awards — voted on by the vaping community — Innokin won across six categories. Its Zenith tank line is widely described as the most-awarded MTL tank in vaping, and its Z-Coils were co-developed with respected reviewers Phil Busardo and Dimitris Agrafiotis. We sell Innokin kits in volume at VOS with very low fault rates, so the rankings below are based on what actually performs day to day — battery life, flavour, coil longevity, ease of use and price — not spec sheets. Where a kit has a real weakness, we say so, and tell you who should buy something else.
1. Innokin Coolfire Z80 Zenith II — best overall
The Coolfire Z80 Zenith II pairs Innokin's reliable 80W Coolfire Z80 mod with the legendary Zenith II tank — the tank that defined MTL vaping. It runs on a removable 18650 battery, charges over USB-C, and uses Z-Coils (a 0.8Ω MTL coil and a 0.3Ω RDL coil in the box) for everything from a tight cigarette-like draw to a looser restricted-lung vape. Innokin's FØ alternating-current tech extends coil life and sharpens flavour.
Pros: superb flavour, swappable 18650 battery, MTL and RDL in one kit, refined top-fill. Who it's not for: anyone who wants the lightest, pocket-simplest device — this is a proper tank kit. On Reddit, owners note coils can burn through fairly fast and the puff counter resets when you swap the 18650 — prime properly and stay within the coil's wattage. At £39.95 it's the connoisseur's pick.
2. Innokin Sceptre — best value all-round pod
The Innokin Sceptre is one of the most-loved pod kits Innokin has ever made, and it's still brilliant value. A 1400mAh battery, refillable 2ml pod with replaceable coils (1.2Ω MTL and 0.5Ω RDL), plus auto-draw, a fire button and a Boost mode for extra punch. Because the coils are user-replaceable, it's cheaper to run than sealed-pod rivals.
Pros: excellent flavour, replaceable coils (less waste), MTL and RDL, great price. Who it's not for: screen lovers — there's an LED, not a display, and it charges via micro-USB rather than USB-C. Worth knowing: Reddit owners of the original Sceptre report occasional auto-firing and a slightly flimsy feel — the newer Sceptre 2 fixes both, so buy the latest version where you can. At £12.99 it's the value champion.
3. Innokin Coolfire P60 — best pod-mod for power and battery
The newest device here. The Coolfire P60 packs a huge 3200mAh battery and up to 60W into a slim pod-mod, with a small OLED screen and draw-activated firing. The pod (2ml in the UK) takes a 0.8Ω coil for tight MTL at 12–14W and a 0.4Ω coil for warm DTL up to 60W, so it genuinely spans both styles.
Pros: outstanding battery for the size, MTL to DTL in one kit, fast charging. Who it's not for: people who want a bright, easy-to-read display — reviewers note the screen is dim in sunlight, and Reddit owners say the pleather-style finish marks easily (a case helps). £21.99 and the best all-day pod here.
4. Innokin ArcFire — best simple MTL pod
If you've just put down a disposable, start here. The Innokin ArcFire is auto-draw only — no buttons, no menus — with a 650mAh battery and refillable 2ml pods. It sets its own power from the pod: 14.5W with the 0.8Ω pod and 10W with the 1.2Ω pod, giving a warm, smooth MTL vape that reviewers have called one of the best simple pods around.
Pros: dead simple, lovely warm MTL flavour, cheapest reliable Innokin pod. Who it's not for: heavy all-day vapers (the 650mAh battery is small) and anyone wanting wattage control. At £11.99 it's the easiest switch from disposables.
5. Innokin Endura T18E — best beginner vape pen
The pen that has helped more people quit smoking than almost any other. The Endura T18E is a fuss-free 1000mAh pen optimised at 14W with simple 1.5Ω Prism T18E coils and a 2ml top-fill tank. Press to fire, sip like a cigarette, refill when empty. Almost indestructible and endlessly forgiving.
Pros: bulletproof reliability, classic tight MTL, ideal first kit. Who it's not for: anyone wanting adjustable power or big clouds — it does one thing, very well. Reddit and Quora owners flag occasional intermittent firing and quick coil burn — clean the 510 pin and prime coils well (see fixes below). £18.88.
6. Innokin Endura V Pro — best modern pod with a screen
Innokin's newest beginner-friendly pod with real control. The Endura V Pro has a 1200mAh battery, up to 35W, a crisp 0.85" colour screen, top-fill 2ml pods, plus button and auto-draw firing with a manual lock. It uses TRINE-series VCAP pods (0.6Ω, 0.8Ω and 1.2Ω) so you can dial the draw from MTL to restricted DTL.
Pros: screen and wattage control at a low price, top-fill, lockable. Who it's not for: people who want the absolute simplest fill-and-puff device — the ArcFire or Go S are simpler, and Reddit owners note the airflow is a touch tight for full RDL. £14.99.
7. Innokin Force Kroma 217 Z — best for DTL and big clouds
The only true sub-ohm cloud kit here. The Force Kroma 217 Z is a single-battery mod (18650, or a 21700 for up to 100W) paired with the Z-Force tank and DuoPrime ZF coils (0.2Ω for 50–80W, 0.3Ω for 30–45W). Mess-free sliding top-fill, Coil+ and Refresh modes for longer coil life, and a rugged zinc-alloy build.
Pros: proper DTL clouds and warmth, swappable battery, tough. Who it's not for: ex-smokers who want a discreet MTL vape — this is more device, lower nicotine, and you'll buy a 21700 battery to get the full 100W. The main niggle owners mention is a slightly stiff firing button. £39.99.
8. Innokin Go S — best ultra-compact MTL pen
A slim, fuss-free pen for pocket carry. The Innokin Go S has a 1500mAh battery, constant 13W output, a 2ml top-fill tank and a 1.6Ω coil, with draw-activated firing. It's an easy, reliable MTL pen — a popular pick for older switchers and anyone who wants zero learning curve without the leaking problems that dogged Innokin's older Jem pen.
Pros: slim and light, genuinely idiot-proof, decent 1500mAh battery for the size, top-fill. Who it's not for: bigger vapers who want clouds or wattage control — it's a fixed-power MTL pen. £12.99.
9. Innokin Klypse Mecha — best adjustable MTL pod
A pod with personality. The Klypse Mecha has a mechanical-style look but is fully regulated, with a 900mAh battery and 6–18W adjustable power feeding refillable 2ml Klypse pods. It's the Klypse for people who want to fine-tune the draw rather than leave it on auto.
Pros: adjustable wattage in a compact pod, distinctive design, good MTL flavour. Who it's not for: those who want a big battery or DTL clouds — it's a tight, low-power MTL device. A handful of Reddit owners report units that suddenly won't power on (warranty-replace) and shorter pod life on sweet, dark liquids — lighter juices make pods last longer. £21.99.
10. Innokin Endura T22 — best step-up MTL pen
The T18E's bigger sibling. The Endura T22 keeps the same easy MTL pen formula but adds a larger 2000mAh battery for longer between charges, optimised at 14W with simple 1.5Ω coils and a 2ml tank. If you liked the idea of the T18E but want it to last all day, this is the one.
Pros: big battery, the same proven reliability, easy refills. Who it's not for: anyone after a slimmer device or wattage control. Reddit owners report leaking where the tank meets the battery — keep that joint clean and the coil snug. £23.99.

Which Innokin coils and pods fit which kit?
This is where Innokin trips people up: unlike some brands, it doesn't use one pod across the whole range. Buy the wrong coil or pod and it won't fit. Here's the honest map of the main systems in this guide.
| Coil / pod system | Fits these kits | Resistances |
|---|---|---|
| Z-Coils (Platform Series) | Coolfire Z80 Zenith II, and other Zenith II / Zlide tanks | 0.8Ω MTL, 0.3Ω RDL |
| Prism T18E / T22 coils | Endura T18E, Endura T22 (and T18 II) | 1.5Ω |
| Sceptre coils | Sceptre pod only | 1.2Ω MTL, 0.5Ω RDL |
| Coolfire P60 (PZP) coils | Coolfire P60 pod only | 0.8Ω, 0.4Ω |
| TRINE VCAP pods | Endura V Pro (and Trine / Endura V series) | 0.6Ω, 0.8Ω, 1.2Ω |
| Klypse pods | Klypse Mecha and other Klypse kits | 0.8Ω, 1.2Ω |
| ArcFire pods | ArcFire only | 0.8Ω, 1.2Ω |
| Z-Force ZF coils | Force Kroma 217 Z (Z-Force tank) | 0.2Ω, 0.3Ω |
| Go S coils (S-series) | Go S pen | 1.6Ω |
Stock packs are far cheaper per puff than a new kit — browse all Innokin coils and Innokin replacement pods to match your device.
MTL vs DTL: which Innokin do you actually need?
Most Innokin kits are MTL (mouth-to-lung) — the tight, cigarette-like draw ex-smokers want. Only the Force Kroma 217 Z (and the P60 at its loosest) does proper DTL. Quick rule:
| MTL (mouth-to-lung) | DTL (direct-to-lung) | |
|---|---|---|
| Feels like | A cigarette / a disposable | A big inhale, lots of vapour |
| Nicotine | Higher (10–20mg salt) | Lower (3–6mg) |
| Coil | 0.8–1.6Ω | 0.2–0.4Ω |
| Best Innokin pick | ArcFire, Endura T18E, Sceptre | Force Kroma 217 Z |
Which Innokin vape suits you? Beginner, intermediate or advanced
Not sure which level you're at? Match yourself to the row below — it's the fastest way to the right kit.
| Vaper level | Best Innokin kit | Why it fits | Pair with |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beginner (just off disposables) | Innokin ArcFire or Go S | Auto-draw, no buttons or settings, tight cigarette-like MTL draw, cheap to buy and run | 20mg (2%) nic salt |
| Intermediate (everyday vaper) | Innokin Endura V Pro or Coolfire P60 | A screen and adjustable power, longer battery, MTL through to restricted DTL as you grow | 10–20mg salt or 50/50 |
| Advanced (flavour chaser) | Innokin Coolfire Z80 Zenith II | Tank-grade MTL/RDL flavour, swappable 18650 battery, Z-Coil range | 10–12mg salt or 50/50 |
| Advanced (cloud chaser) | Innokin Force Kroma 217 Z | True sub-ohm DTL power up to 100W with the Z-Force tank | 3–6mg high-VG shortfill |
Beginner / just off disposables: go auto-draw and cheap — the ArcFire or Go S. Fill, puff, done. Intermediate / everyday vaper: you want a screen and a bit of control — the Endura V Pro or Coolfire P60. Advanced: the Coolfire Z80 Zenith II for the best MTL flavour, or the Force Kroma 217 Z for DTL clouds.
What e-liquid should you use in an Innokin kit?
For every MTL kit here, a 50/50 e-liquid or a 20mg (2%) nic salt is the sweet spot if you're coming off disposables — smooth throat hit and quick nicotine. For the Force Kroma 217 Z in DTL mode, drop to a 3–6mg high-VG liquid. Not sure what to buy? Our guide to the 10 best 10ml nic salts in the UK covers the flavours that pair best, or browse all e-liquid.
Common Innokin problems and quick fixes
Innokin kits are reliable, but the same handful of issues come up again and again — almost all are simple usage fixes, not faults. Here's how to solve the five most common ones.
Burnt taste or dry hits (the most common Innokin complaint)
Nearly always a coil that wasn't primed or is being pushed too hard. Drip a few drops of e-liquid directly onto the new coil's wick holes, fill the tank/pod, then let it stand 5–10 minutes before the first puff. Use a 50/50 or nic-salt e-liquid (not thick high-VG juice) in MTL kits like the T18E, T22 and ArcFire, stay within the coil's wattage, and take slow steady draws. Skipping the soak is the fastest way to ruin a coil on day one.
Leaking
Don't overfill — leave the central airflow tube clear, and avoid getting liquid down it. Check the pod or tank is seated and not cross-threaded, replace tired O-rings, and store the device upright. Over-tightening a tank onto the mod can distort seals and cause leaks, so nip it up gently.
Gurgling or spitback
Usually flooded coil or condensation. Remove the pod/tank, blow it gently through the airflow into a tissue, wipe the contacts, and reseat. Vaping at slightly higher (in-range) wattage and taking firmer draws also helps clear it.
Device lights up but won't fire / blinks 3 times
Three blinks on Innokin mods usually means a coil/connection fault or the device has overheated. Reseat the coil or pod, wipe the 510 or pod contacts, and don't over-tighten the tank — an over-tightened 510 is a frequent cause of intermittent firing and warning flashes. Let the device cool if it's been used hard, then try again. If it still won't fire, see our vape not hitting fixes.
Auto-firing or a stuck button
If the fire button sticks or the device keeps firing after you let go, stop using it immediately. Clean around the button, make sure no liquid has crept in, and check it's not locked into a stuck state (five clicks to lock/unlock most Innokin mods). A genuine stuck-button fault is rare and covered by Innokin's warranty — contact the retailer or Innokin support for a replacement.
Frequently asked questions about Innokin vape kits
Is Innokin a good vape brand?
Yes. Innokin has made vapes since 2011, won six categories at the 2024 Ecigclick Vape Awards, and its Zenith tank line is one of the most-awarded MTL setups in vaping. It's known for reliable batteries, long-lasting coils and excellent mouth-to-lung flavour, which is why it's a go-to for ex-smokers.
Which Innokin vape kit is the best?
For most people the Coolfire Z80 Zenith II (£39.95) is the best all-rounder thanks to the award-winning Zenith II tank. Beginners should start with the ArcFire (£11.99) or Endura T18E; cloud chasers want the Force Kroma 217 Z.
What is the best Innokin vape for beginners?
The ArcFire is the easiest — auto-draw, refillable, and it sets its own power. The Endura T18E is the classic beginner pen if you prefer a button. Both pair best with a 20mg nic salt and cost far less to run than disposables.
What is the best Innokin vape pen?
For a classic MTL pen, the Endura T18E is the most reliable starting point, with the bigger-battery Endura T22 as the step-up. The Go S is the slimmest, simplest pen if you want pocket-friendly auto-draw. All three are tight MTL and pair best with a 50/50 or 20mg nic salt.
Are Innokin vape kits refillable?
Yes — every kit in this guide is refillable. You add your own e-liquid to the pod or tank, and replace the coil or pod when the flavour fades. That makes them fully UK-legal after the disposable ban and much cheaper to run.
What's the difference between the Endura T18E and T22?
They're the same easy MTL pen formula. The T22 has a bigger 2000mAh battery (vs 1000mAh) so it lasts longer between charges and is slightly larger. Both run 1.5Ω coils at around 14W.
Do all Innokin coils and pods fit every kit?
No. Innokin uses several separate systems — Z-Coils (Zenith), Prism T18E/T22 coils, Sceptre coils, TRINE VCAP pods, Klypse pods and others — and they aren't interchangeable. Check the compatibility table above before buying replacements.
Which Innokin is best to replace my disposable?
The ArcFire or Go S feel closest to a disposable — auto-draw, no settings — but rechargeable and refillable. Fill with a 20mg nic salt in your old disposable's flavour and you'll barely notice the switch, while spending a fraction of the money.
Are Innokin kits cheaper to run than disposables?
Far cheaper. A kit plus coils and a bottle of e-liquid costs a fraction of buying disposables week after week, and you keep the device. It's the single biggest saving most vapers make switching over.
What wattage should I run an Innokin kit at?
Stay within the range printed on the coil. As a guide: 1.5–1.6Ω MTL coils around 13–14W, 0.8Ω pods around 14W, 0.6Ω around 18–21W, and sub-ohm DTL coils on the Kroma 217 Z 30–80W. Start low and rise until the flavour is best.
How long do Innokin coils last?
An Innokin coil typically lasts 1–2 weeks depending on how much you vape and the e-liquid. When the flavour drops off or you get a burnt taste, fit a fresh coil or pod. Dark, sweet liquids wear coils faster.
Why is my Innokin vape not hitting or flashing?
Usually it's a low battery (charge it), a loose or dirty coil/pod (reseat it and wipe the contacts), or a coil that needs priming. If there's no vapour at all, try our vape not hitting fixes.
How do I turn on or reset an Innokin vape?
On most Innokin mods and pens (Coolfire, Endura, Klypse), press the fire button five times quickly to switch the device on or off. To "reset" a misbehaving kit, turn it off, take out the pod or coil (or the 18650 battery on the Z80/Kroma), wipe the contacts, pop it back in and switch on again. Auto-draw kits like the ArcFire and Go S have no button — they're always ready, so just inhale.
Why is my Innokin vape blinking blue or not charging?
A blue light usually signals battery level or a charging issue. Use a quality USB cable, clean the charge port, and check the cable seats fully. If it still won't charge, try a different cable and plug; on the Z80 and Kroma you can simply swap in a fresh, charged 18650/21700. Persistent no-charge on a sealed-battery kit is a warranty matter — contact the retailer.
Innokin or OXVA — which should I buy?
Both are top MTL brands. Innokin leads on classic pens and the Zenith tank; OXVA's Xlim pods are slimmer and more modern. If you're torn, see our guide to the 10 best OXVA vape kits and compare.
The bottom line
If you want one Innokin kit and don't want to think about it, the Coolfire Z80 Zenith II delivers the best flavour. New to refillables or just off disposables? The ArcFire at £11.99. Want clouds? The Force Kroma 217 Z (£39.99). Whatever your style, there's an Innokin here for it — see the full range on our Innokin vapes page. For adult smokers and vapers aged 18+ only.
