Disposable Vape Alternatives

Disposables Vapes took over the vaping industry over recent years but are now in the process of being phased out, despite the demand remaining high. This makes it crucial for vape stores to have the best offering to cater to this large customer base that will no longer be able to purchase single use vapes.

At UK Vapour Brands we have already prepared for this, offering a wide range of disposable vape alternatives to make the transition seamless. Including like for like versions of the best selling Lost Mary, Elf Bar and Crystal devices that will remain on the shelves after the ban.

What Are Disposable Vapes?

Disposables such as the Elf Bar are all-in-one kits, designed for easy and convenient vaping. They contain 2ml of e-liquid as well as a built in coil and battery. Most come in a pen style shape, but devices like the Lost Mary have their own unique shape that makes them stand out.

They are available in a wide range of flavours and use a high strength nic salt to produce a rich flavour.

Why Are Disposable Vapes So Popular In The UK?

These types of devices aren’t new and have been around for as long as vaping has. However, they only started to grow in popularity in early 2020 with the launch of the Geek Bar. Since then, many other vape brands have emerged and there continues to be new and innovative disposables hitting the market.

The main reason for their popularity is the convenience. Over the years smokers have tried vaping and been put off as they find the process confusing. When quitting it can be very difficult to stick with something that isn’t as easy as lighting a cigarette. With disposables, this changed as all you need to do is remove the packaging, then vape.

Another reason for the growth in this type of device is the intense flavours. In the 2 years that disposables have been around, only a few brands have managed to replicate the sweet flavours found inside. This has resulted in many sticking with a disposable as they can’t find the same experience from open tank devices. However, recent releases such as VLTZ are leading the way in matching those extreme flavours.

When Will Disposables Be Banned In The UK?

From the 1st June 2025 disposable Vapes will can no longer be sold in the UK. So, it is important to understand which products need to be pulled from the shelves and the risks of not replacing this stock with the compliant alternatives.

How Should Vape Store Prepare for the Ban?

Clear Down Disposable Stock

Ensure you are clearing down your current disposable stock. Any disposable remaining after the 1st of June will no longer be complaint and must be removed from the shelves.

Educate Customers

It is important to provide existing disposable customers with plenty of notice about the upcoming changes and the alternative products available, allowing for a smoother transition to a reusable vape kit.

Enhance current offering

Ensure you have the like for like alternatives to your best selling disposables. There are already prefilled pod kits available to start switching your customers over today!

Ensure you’re catering to long time vapers

Even with all these changes, it is important to not forget about vapers already using open tank devices. Stocking popular brands such as OXVA will keep your existing customer base coming back, but can also provide greater value to disposable users when paired with a Bar Salt E-liquid.
