From 1 June 2025, the UK government will prohibit the sale of single-use disposable vapes. This legislation aims to significantly reduce environmental waste while encouraging more sustainable vaping alternatives. Under the new regulations, disposable vape devices that cannot be recharged or refilled will no longer be available for purchase in the UK. This initiative underscores the government’s commitment to minimising the environmental impact of electronic waste, particularly single-use plastics and batteries.

At eCigarett, we fully support this transition and are committed to helping our customers adapt to compliant alternatives. To facilitate this change, we offer a comprehensive range of rechargeable and refillable vaping devices. These options maintain the convenience of disposable vapes while being a more sustainable choice. Our selection includes pre-filled pod systems, refillable pod kits, and rechargeable vape devices, all of which are user-friendly, cost-effective, and environmentally responsible. These products not only align with the upcoming regulations but also provide enhanced customisation, allowing users greater control over their nicotine intake and flavour preferences.

eCigarett urges all customers currently using disposable vapes to prepare for the upcoming ban. Transitioning to rechargeable or refillable devices is straightforward and offers numerous advantages, including better cost efficiency, improved performance, and a reduced environmental footprint. For further details on the single-use vape ban, we encourage customers to visit the UK Government’s official guidance page: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/single-use-vapes-ban.

A disposable vape is defined as a vaping product intended for single use, meaning it cannot be reused once the battery is depleted or the e-liquid is exhausted. To qualify as reusable, a vape must be both rechargeable and refillable. If a device meets only one of these criteria—such as being rechargeable but not refillable, or vice versa—it will still be classified as single-use and subject to the upcoming ban. Additionally, a vape is not considered rechargeable if its battery cannot be recharged or if its coil is not replaceable or sold separately.

To support customers in making the switch, eCigarett provides expert guidance both online and in-store. Visit us today to explore our range of compliant vape kits, pod systems, and rechargeable devices, ensuring a seamless transition before the ban takes effect.
