Disposable Vapes Are Now Banned in the UK – What’s Next?

From 1st June 2025, the UK government has banned the sale of single-use disposable vapes. This regulation is now in effect, meaning retailers are no longer allowed to sell or restock disposable vape products.

If you previously used disposable vapes, now is the perfect time to explore longer-lasting, more sustainable options. At Vapouriz, we offer a wide range of simple, user-friendly alternatives that comply fully with UK law and deliver great value and satisfaction.

Why Are Disposable Vapes No Longer Available?

The ban on disposable vapes has been introduced to reduce environmental waste and limit underage access to vape products. The law targets single-use vapes that are not refillable or rechargeable and are discarded after use.

Reusable vape devices — including refillable pod kits and prefilled pod systems — are not affected by the ban and remain fully legal to purchase and use.

FAQs

Can I still use disposable vapes I already own?

Yes. While retailers can no longer sell disposable vapes, you can still use any you already own. The ban affects the sale and restocking of single-use vapes, but not their personal use, so you won’t be penalised for continuing to use existing devices.

What are the best alternatives to disposables?

Prefilled pod kits and refillable vape kits are the best alternatives to disposables. Both options are designed to be user-friendly and cost-effective, and they work with Nic Salt e-liquids for a smoother, more satisfying vape that closely matches the experience of disposable devices.

Will prefilled pod kits be banned too?

No. Prefilled pod kits are not affected by the ban, as they are designed to be reused with sealed, replaceable pods. These kits offer a similar level of convenience to disposables, but with less waste and longer usage, making them a reliable and compliant alternative.

Are refillable vape kits beginner-friendly?

Yes. Refillable vape kits are designed to be simple and accessible, especially for beginners. Most feature mess-free filling systems, rechargeable batteries, and compact designs, making them ideal for everyday use without the complexity of more advanced vape setups.

Why use Nic Salt e-liquids?

Nic Salt e-liquids provide a smoother throat hit and faster nicotine absorption than traditional e-liquids. This makes them ideal for vapers who previously used disposables, as they offer a similar sensation with better long-term value and more flavour options.

Are all Vapouriz vape kits compliant with the new rules?

Yes. Every vape kit and e-liquid sold at Vapouriz complies with current UK regulations. We only stock reusable vape devices and legal e-liquids, ensuring that all our products remain fully available following the disposable vape ban.
