Disposable Vapes have taken a massive surge in popularity in the vaping industry over the last few years; in this blog, we will take a look at the ban put in place by the UK government.
Are Disposable Vapes Banned?
As of the time this blog is written, disposable vapes are not banned and are widely available. However, their popularity amongst youth and the economic waste created by disposables have caused areas of concern for the UK government.
Whilst I understand the reasons that the government wants to ban disposables, I also think that disposable vapes have been a positive addition for smokers switching to vaping. Disposable vape kits offer the most accessible entry for vaping for people who want a fuss-free experience; picking up a disposable vape is the closest thing to buying a pack of 20 cigarettes.
When Will Disposable Vapes Be Banned?
It has been recently announced that single-use disposable vapes will be banned in the UK on 1 June 2025. This gives retailers 7 months to sell through all current stock.
Some notable disposable products that will be banned include:
- Elf Bar 600
- Gold Bar 600
- Lost Mary BM600
- IVG 4 in 1 2400
- SKE Crystal Bar
- and many more
The UK government aims to crack down on youth vaping and reduce the waste caused by single-use disposable vaping products.
Are There Any Disposable Alternatives?
Yes, there are many options to consider when disposables are banned. You could choose a pod kit that requires maintenance to replace pods and e-liquid or a pre-filled pod device.
Great pod kits to consider would be the following:
With a wide variety of disposable-inspired e-liquids now available, you'll be sure to find something similar to the disposables you're used to.
Great Pre-Filled Pod Kits to Consider:
Pre-filled pod kits will provide a similar experience to disposable vapes. You will not need to fill up with e-liquid or replace coils. All that is required is to keep the device charged and replace the pre-filled pods.
In conclusion, if you are currently vaping disposables, you have until 1 June 2025 to consider your options. A wide variety of solutions are available, so don't fear the ban. Our staff will be on hand to make the transition easy.
