There's a better way to vape

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 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. Kits within the Avomi range for example offer similar ease-of-use and long-term cost savings.

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.
