Disposable Vape Kits

Yes. In October 2024 the government updated the plan for disposable vapes to be banned in the UK in order to minimise the environmental impact and also to reduce the uptake of vaping by under 18s. The disposable ban is came in to force in June 2025. To discover the full information the disposable ban, check out our Guide to the disposable vape ban blog.

The vape ban included single use vapes, which the government classified as vapes that are non-rechargeable and non-refillable. This means that all 600 puff vapes such as the Elfbar 600 disposable, Lost Mary BM600 disposable and SKE Crystal Bar disposable were all affected by the ban as well as high capacity vapes such as the ELFBAR AF5000 and Lost Mary BM6000 disposable which were rechargeable but not refillable. 

Whilst you cannot buy disposable vapes anymore, there are a number of options for you to enjoy the same flavours.

1. Try out the refillable alternative to the disposable you used to use

A lot of the most popular disposable vapes have been upgraded to make them fully reusable. Now featuring rechargeable batteries and replaceable flavour pods. This gives you the same great convenience and flavour of a disposable device but in a more sustainable format. The replaceable pods alo mean that you will get a cost saving compared to replacing your whole device each time. Some great examples of these are the Elf Bar 600 prefilled kit and the Lost Mary BM600 prefilled kit, which give you all of the same great flavour tions you had with the best selling disposables in a convenient replaceable pod format.

2. Switch to big puff vapes.

Big puff vapes are available from all of the leading disposable brands and come in two general types.

4in1 vapes - These are devices that contain 4 e-liquid pods inside a single device, giving you four times the e-liquid capacity you find in a disposable device. Each pod can be swapped our when finished allowing you to continue to use the device indefinitely. If you are interested in trying out a 4in1 vape then take a look at the IVG 2400 or the Lost Mary 4in1 which are the most popular options at the moment.

10+2 vapes - These vapes feature a 2ml pod which is usually pre-filled with e-liquid and an additional 10ml bottle of e-liquid which you attach to the vape when you open it. The device will then automatically top up the pod from the 10ml bottle, giving you a completely fuss free experience that will last up to 6000 puffs. There are a number of great 10+2 options for you to try with some of our most recommended being the ELFBAR AF5500, the Lost Mary BM6000 and one of the latest kits the ELUX Cyberover.

3. Make the switch to a refillable pod kit.

Refillable pod vape kits are able to give you the same vaping sensation and satisfaction that you get from a disposable vape, whilst giving you access to a world of new flavours and a number of customisation options.

Benefits of a refillable pod kit vs a disposable vape:

Cost - you can now get a well featured pod kit for £15 or under. This means the initial cost is much lower than it used to be and the ongoing cost of replacement pods and e-liquid usually works out at half the price of buying disposable vapes. There are now also several great value option e-liquids which means the cost is even lower.

Flavour choice - There is no doubting there are some truly great flavours in the various disposable ranges. But if you are really looking for variety, then choosing your own e-liquids is where it's at. We have well over 2000 different choices available with new ones added every week. This includes e-liquids from all of the major disposable brands, including ELFLIQ Elf Bar and Maryliq from Lost Mary so you don't even have to miss out on your favourite disposable flavour.

Pod selection and power customisation - Nearly all of the refillable pod kits have multiple options for the resistance of the pod which really lets you dial it in to your preferred style. Pick a pod with lower resistance to get a smooth vape or choose a pod with higher resistance to increase the throat hit to feel more like smoking a cigarette. Many kits will also give you the option to adjust the power, so you can perfectly balance your kit to your preference and to the e-liquid you choose.

4. Try out one of our great vaping alternatives

Heated Tobacco - Heated Tobacco or Heat Not Burn as it is also known pairs an electronic device with tobacco sticks to provide a cigarette-like experience but instead of burning the tobacco, they heat it into an aromatic cloud, producing fewer toxins whilst delivering a similar experience to smoking.

Nicotine Pouches - Nicotine Pouches are small pouches which you place between your lip and gum, which slowly release nicotine and flavouring. They usually last for around 30 minutes per pouch and can be found in a huge variety of strengths and flavours to match your needs. They don't give off any smoke, vapour or smell so are a great option for when you can't vape such as when you are on a plane or train.

Nicotine Gum - Nicotine Gum works the same way as you would imagine. You place a piece in your mouth and chew it to release the nicotine and flavouring. Many people prefer nicotine gum to other vaping alternatives as the chewing motion can also help occupy the mind.

Nicotine Strips - Nicotine Strips are the newest invention for vape and smoke-free nicotine use. Similarly to nicotine pouches, these are placed between the lip and gum, slowly dissolving and releasing nicotine and flavour. One advantage nicotine strips have over pouches is that they fully dissolve so thereis no need to worry about having to discard a used pouch.
