Latest News: Single Use Disposable Vape Ban Coming June 2025

January 15, 2025

With disposable vapes due to be banned in the UK this June, we explore how this change opens up a whole new world of flexible, cost-effective, and sustainable vaping alternatives for vapers.

On the 1st June 2025, the UK government will introduce a nationwide ban on single-use disposable vapes with the purpose of mitigating the harm they cause to the environment, and to address concerns about their popularity among under-18s (who are prohibited by law from buying them) and people who have not previously consumed traditional tobacco and nicotine products.

Fortunately for current users of disposable vapes, this change represents an exciting opportunity to explore reusable vape kits, which offer similar ease-of-use, greater customisation possibilities, enhanced performance, and long-term cost savings.

In this blog, we’ll explore the ban, address common concerns, and highlight the best reusable options at Vapestore.

Why Are Single-Use Disposable Vapes Being Banned?

The ban on single-use disposable vapes stems from both environmental and public health concerns arising from the widespread adoption of these devices in recent years. Disposable vapes contribute a significant amount of waste due to the plastic they’re made from and the lithium – a precious metal – contained in their batteries, often ending up in landfills or littering streets when not properly disposed of.

Additionally, there has been growing concern about their accessibility to under-18s. It is alleged that single-use vapes’ relative affordability and ease of use have made them appealing to underage users, the majority of which were previously non-smokers. The ban aims to reduce the environmental impact of these devices while making vaping less accessible to under-18s as well as less appealing to over-18s who have not smoked before, promoting a healthier lifestyle, and a safer and more sustainable vaping culture for all.

What Exactly Is Being Banned?

From 1st June 2025, the UK will implement a nationwide ban on single-use disposable vapes. This includes any device that cannot be refilled or recharged and features a coil that cannot be replaced (except for standalone refillable or prefilled pods.) The ban also applies to nicotine-free disposable vapes, ensuring all single-use devices are phased out to reduce waste and environmental harm.

For clarity, the ban excludes reusable vape devices, such as those with replaceable pods or refillable tanks, which offer a more sustainable and flexible alternative for vapers.

Which Products Will Still Be Available?

Although disposable vapes will no longer be available, vapers can explore a wide range of reusable options. Prefilled pod kits offer a familiar and straightforward experience, combining the convenience of disposables with the sustainability of rechargeable devices. For those seeking greater customisation, refillable pod systems, vape pens, and advanced sub-ohm kits provide excellent performance and flexibility.

Reusable devices not only reduce waste but also offer better long-term value and the freedom to choose your favourite e-liquids and nicotine strengths, making them a perfect alternative to disposables.

Why Reusable Vapes Are a Better Alternative to Single-Use Disposable Vapes

If you’ve relied on single-use disposable vapes to cut down on traditional tobacco, it’s understandable that the upcoming ban might cause some concern. But we believe that this transition represents a fantastic opportunity to discover the advantages of reusable vapes and prefilled kits, which offer greater value, performance, and customisation than single-use devices ever did.

For those considering reducing nicotine intake entirely, the gradual phase-out of disposables could be the perfect opportunity to do so. If that’s you, then congratulations! Vaping will have done the job its intended to do, and you’ll be free to enjoy life without the constant nag of nicotine following you around every day. Meanwhile, for those seeking a long-term, smoke-free and effective tool to manage their nicotine consumption, reusable vape devices - such as the Avomi Fliq 4-in1 Prefilled Pod Kit for example - could be the ideal next step.

Advantages of Reusable Vape Kits:

Cost Savings: Refilling pods and replacing coils is cheaper over time than purchasing multiple disposables. Many pods are now available that contain an integrated coil and may also come prefilled with e-liquid.
Customisation: Choose your preferred e-liquid flavours and nicotine strengths to suit your needs and vaping style.
Enhanced Performance: Reusable kits can provide richer, more accurate flavour and better vapour production.
Sustainability: Minimise waste with refillable, rechargeable devices that have a smaller environmental impact.

How to Choose the Right Reusable Vape Device for You

When selecting a reusable vape, there are a few factors to consider ensuring the device suits your preferences and needs. Here’s a guide to help make an informed choice:

Nicotine Strength: If you're used to disposables, consider devices compatible with nicotine salts, like the majority of pod vape kits, which offer a similar throat hit and are well-suited for higher nicotine strengths.

Battery Life: Choose a device with sufficient battery life for your routine. Smaller pod kits are compact but may need daily charging, while larger vape pens and box mods can last longer between charges.

Coil Resistance: Lower-resistance coils (sub-ohm) produce more vapour and are ideal for direct-to-lung (DTL) vaping with high-VG e-liquids. Higher-resistance coils (above 1.0 ohm) provide a tighter draw and work best for mouth-to-lung (MTL) vaping with 50/50 or nic salt e-liquids.

Can’t find the right coil for your kit? Let our Coil Finder find it for you!

E-Liquid Compatibility: Ensure your chosen kit is compatible with the vape juice you prefer, especially if you enjoy thicker, high-VG blends for cloud production or smoother nicotine salts or 50/50 vape juices for a stronger hit.

Taking these factors into account will help you select a device that delivers the flavour, vapour production, and convenience you need.

Conclusion

The June 2025 disposable vape ban represents a major change for the UK vaping industry, but for vapers it also opens the door to exploring the enormously diverse and exciting world of reusable vape kits. From handy prefilled vapes to versatile pod kits and powerful sub-ohm devices, reusable vapes offer greater satisfaction, customisation, and long-term value, with options to suit every vaper’s needs.
