Single-Use Disposable Vape Ban – 1st June 2025

From 1 June 2025, the UK government will introduce a ban on single-use disposable vapes. This decision aims to significantly reduce environmental waste and promote sustainable vaping alternatives. Under the new regulations, any disposable vape devices designed for single use, meaning devices that cannot be recharged or refilled, will no longer be sold in the UK. This move highlights the government’s commitment to reducing environmental impact caused by disposable electronic devices, particularly single-use plastics and batteries.

Hulme Vapes supports this change and is dedicated to helping customers smoothly transition to compliant alternatives. To help vapers adapt, Hulme Vapes will provide a wide range of rechargeable and refillable vaping devices, offering the same convenience previously enjoyed with disposable vapes but in a sustainable form. Prefilled Pod, Refillable pod kits and rechargeable vaping devices are easy to use, cost-effective, and significantly more environmentally friendly. These options not only comply with the new regulations but also enhance your vaping experience by providing more customisation and control over your nicotine intake and flavour choices.

Hulme Vapes encourages all customers currently using disposable vapes to prepare for the ban coming into effect on 1 June 2025. Switching to rechargeable or refillable devices is straightforward and offers numerous benefits, including better value for money, improved device performance, and reduced environmental impact.

A single-use or disposable vape is defined as a vaping product that is neither intended nor designed to be reused. In practical terms, this means the device is disposed of after its initial use without the possibility of recharging the battery or refilling the liquid. To qualify as reusable, a vaping device must be both rechargeable and refillable.

To clarify, a vape is not considered reusable if it only meets one of these criteria. For example, if the device can be recharged but not refilled, or refilled but not recharged, it falls under the category of single-use and will therefore be subject to the upcoming ban. Additionally, a vape is not classed as rechargeable if it has a battery that cannot be recharged or contains a coil that is not easily replaceable or available for separate purchase.
