What vape is best for beginners?

Vape pod kits are the best option for beginners due to their simplicity, low maintenance and ease of use. They are compact, easy to refill and designed for a smooth, cigarette-style draw. Browse our vape pod kits to find beginner-friendly devices designed for everyday use.

What nicotine strength should I use?

Most smokers or ex-smokers start with a 12mg vape juice for a balanced throat hit. Lighter smokers may prefer lower strengths like 3mg or 6mg, while those looking for a smoother experience often choose nicotine salts in strengths such as 20mg or 50mg when using pod devices. Nicotine salts are best suited for MTL (mouth-to-lung) devices and are not recommended for use in high-powered vape mods. Browse our vape juice and nicotine salt options to find the right strength for your needs.

Can I use nic salts in any vape device?

Nicotine salts are best suited for MTL (mouth-to-lung) devices, such as vape pod kits, where they provide a smooth and satisfying experience. They are not recommended for use in high-powered vape mods, as this can result in excessive nicotine intake and an unpleasant vaping experience. For best results, pair nicotine salts with low-powered pod devices designed for this type of vape juice.

How long does a vape device last?

A vape device can last for several months to a few years depending on usage, build quality and how well it is maintained. Devices with built-in batteries may need replacing sooner, while more advanced devices can last longer with proper care. Replaceable parts such as coils or pods typically last between one to three weeks, depending on how often you vape and the type of vape juice used. To maintain performance, always use the correct replacement parts designed for your specific device.

How long does vape juice last?

Unopened vape juice can last up to one to two years when stored in a cool, dark place. Once opened, it is best used within a few months to maintain optimal flavour and performance. Over time, vape juice can undergo a natural process known as steeping, where the flavour develops and becomes smoother. This can enhance the overall taste, especially in dessert or complex blends. However, excessive exposure to heat, light and air can degrade the liquid, so proper storage is important.

What is the difference between vape juice and nic salts?

Vape juice (freebase nicotine) provides a stronger throat hit and is typically used in lower strengths such as 3mg or 6mg. It is best suited for more powerful vape devices, such as vape mods that use external batteries. Nicotine salts deliver a smoother inhale, even at higher strengths like 20mg or 50mg, making them ideal for low-powered vape pod devices and for those looking for a more cigarette-like experience. Choosing between the two depends on your device and how strong or smooth you prefer your vape.

Great experience ordering online, unfortunately they did not have the color vape I wanter, but it is understandable as it was mid Desember.

Delivery by the courier took longer than expected so just plan ahead ,as I can not hold it against Funky Vapers.

Overall really satisfied with the service and quality.

Excellent customer service. I messaged them before I placed an order and they helped get me the specific colour of xros 4 nano I wanted and gave great advice on vape juice flavours i wanted. My order arrived on time and was well packaged.
Overall I'm impressed and would recommend this store. Also their prices are very competitive so definitely a big win for me.
Oh and they also sent me a free bottle opener for my longfill vape juice...that was very thoughtful.
Also note, they offer a 10% discount on your first purchase order of over 1k and free delivery for orders over 1k.

Such an awesome place with such a great owner. Yvonne frequently goes the extra mile, she knows her stuff, and is more than happy to make a plan to help you out with what you need. Tester vapes are sanitised before and after each use and she has a wide variety. I would recommend this vape shop to anyone, even if it means driving an extra couple of hours
