There's a better way to vape – discover smarter disposable alternatives
As of 1st June 2025, the UK government has implemented a nationwide ban on single-use disposable vapes. This change is aimed at reducing environmental waste and addressing concerns about underage vaping.
If you’ve previously relied on disposables, there are now more sustainable, cost-effective alternatives to choose from in the form of refillable vape kits and prefilled vape kits. Whether you’re looking for something just as easy to use or want more flexibility in flavour and performance, we’re here to help.

Can I still use disposable vapes after the ban?
Yes. The ban applies to the sale of disposable vapes, not their use. If you already own disposables, you can still use them after 1st June 2025. However, retailers will no longer be allowed to sell or restock them once the ban comes into effect.
What are the best alternatives to disposable vapes?
Prefilled pod kits and refillable vape kits are the most practical alternatives. They’re easy to use, cost-effective in the long run, and compatible with a wide variety of e-liquids including Nicotine Salts — which provide a smooth throat hit and fast nicotine delivery similar to disposable-style vaping.
Will prefilled vape kits be banned too?
No. Prefilled vape kits are not affected by the ban. These devices are designed to be reusable and typically include recyclable pods. As long as the device isn’t single-use, it will remain legal to buy and use under the new regulations taking effect from June 2025.
Are prefilled pod vape kits legal in the UK?
Yes. Prefilled pod kits are fully legal in the UK and are not included in the disposable vape ban. These devices offer a convenient and reliable alternative to single-use vapes, combining reusable hardware with sealed e-liquid pods for a similar experience without the waste.
