If you're switching from cigarettes or looking for a compatible refill for your cigalike e-cigarette, Ten Motives and OK Vape are two of the UK's most popular options. Both use the same screw-on cartomiser format — but there are some key differences worth knowing before you buy.
What Are They Compatible With?
Both Ten Motives and OK Vape refills use the same standard cigalike screw-on fitting, which means they're cross-compatible:
- Ten Motives refills work with Ten Motives e-cigarettes and compatible batteries (including OK Vape K2 and Vapourlites VL4).
- OK Vape refills work with OK Vape Cigalike Kits and Ten Motives batteries.
So whichever brand you prefer, you're not locked in — the hardware works with both.

Ten Motives suits those who want 11mg, 16mg, or 20mg — the most common strengths for ex-smokers switching from light, regular, or full-strength cigarettes.
OK Vape offers a wider nicotine ladder (0mg–20mg), making it ideal if you're gradually stepping down your nicotine intake.
