UK Disposable Vape Ban 2025: What Vapers Need to Know Now
The UK introduced a new rule on June 1, 2025, that stops the sale and supply of disposable vapes. This change is part of a wider effort to protect the environment and support responsible vaping.
If you’ve been using disposables, this might feel like a big shift. But the good news is that vaping isn’t going away many great refillable and reusable alternatives are now more popular than ever.
Why Has the UK Banned Disposable Vapes?
The decision is based on a few key reasons:
- To reduce waste from single-use devices
- To keep products safer and more regulated
- To limit youth access to colourful and sweet-flavoured vapes
The ban applies to all non-refillable, non-rechargeable vapes, even if they don’t contain nicotine.
What’s Still Allowed?
You can still enjoy vaping using devices that are:
- Refillable pod kits with your choice of e-liquid
- Rechargeable vape pens and kits
- Compatible with replaceable pods or coils
- Available in nicotine or nicotine‑free options

Let customers speak for us
Hi I've already bought them from you when the pod is empty do I throw away the whole device and pod or can I snap on a new pod still using the device?
Well what can I say about this vape... For 1 you can buy replacement pods, great price, nice flavours and no bad throat hit or after taste. Will definitely be buying more 😊 Thank you everyone at UK Vape World 😁
Perfect for swapping from disposables. Smooth, flavourful and quiet. Love how it tells you battery percentage too
I'm extremely impressed with UK vape world, from the great stock to the shipment, everything is quick and simple. Delivery is super quick too!! Looks like I've found my new supplier! Also to add the randm nick salts are so flavorful and a great selection and price......thanks guys !
Really good, flavour stays nice through to the end and the battery capacity last a long time
I’ve tried pretty much all of the elux range. By far this is the best flavour they do. Like all elux juices, the flavour is very strong and can sometimes be overpowering, but in the banana flavour it is just perfect. It really does taste like sweet ripe bananas with just a hint of ice. No nasty chemical taste. Never stop stocking this one please. It’s the absolute king of banana flavour juices.
I am waiting for new stock for 25K how long it will be take
Great full flavour and smoke. My second best to Geek Bars
Moving from disposables i bought the oxva v prime as my first refill vape.Its brilliant value for money and very easy to fill.Ive now just purchased a second one as spare.love the colour options to.
Cracking pc of kit wish I could give it more than 5 stars last for ages
Very well organized and tastefully first class
Tried lots of disposable vapes over time but this tops them all, the flavour is beautiful and the kit is built very well, I used to have the Hayati 15000 puffs which I didn't get much flavour from. This is a lovely vape and will definitely be bying again.
