New Disposables
At Vape Shop, we stocked one of the UK's biggest ranges of disposable vapes, with top names like Elf Bar and Lost Mary. But with the UK ban on disposables coming into effect from June 2025, now’s the time to explore smarter alternatives. Our pod vape kits offer a long-lasting, rechargeable option, with refillable or prefilled pods from trusted names. They’re a more cost-effective and eco-friendly choice. To make switching easy, we’ve got free e-liquid with selected vape kits and deals on delicious e-liquid flavours to keep your pod topped up. Whether you're after a simple switch or a fresh new setup, we’ve got the best alternatives to disposable vapes — with all the deals you're used to.

A disposable vape is a single-use device designed for convenience, flavour and portability. These compact vapes come prefilled with e-liquid and feature built-in batteries, offering up to 600 puffs or more depending on the brand. Once the battery runs out or the e-liquid is depleted, the entire device is discarded. While convenient, they’re not the most eco-friendly or cost-effective option long-term.
Yes. Disposable vapes are still legally available in the UK, but a nationwide ban on disposable vapes is scheduled to begin on 1st June 2025. This includes all new and existing models.
The UK’s disposable vape ban is driven by growing concerns about waste and environmental impact. Since single-use vapes often end up in landfills, the ban encourages vapers to switch to sustainable, refillable vape kits that reduce long-term waste and support eco-conscious habits.
