<content:encoded><![CDATA[If you’ve been looking at pod kits recently, you’ve probably noticed the OXVA Unione cropping up everywhere. The claim — world’s first fully TPD compliant 10ml pod system — is bold enough to make you pay attention. But does it actually deliver? This review covers everything you need to know before buying, including how the 10ml system works in practice, who it’s genuinely suited to, and how it compares to other popular pod kits in the UK right now.
<hr />
<h4 class="p1">What Is the OXVA Unione?</h4>
The <a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://totally-vapour.co.uk/product/oxva-unione-pod-vape-kit/">OXVA Unione Pod Vape Kit</a> is a compact refillable pod kit built around a single standout feature — a 10ml pod system that holds five times more e-liquid than a standard 2ml pod. It achieves this within UK TPD rules by combining a 2ml vaping pod with an attached 8ml side reservoir in one unit. As the 2ml chamber empties during use, e-liquid flows through automatically from the reservoir. You never manually top up the pod — only the reservoir, and only when the full 10ml has been used.
The rest of the device is a well specified everyday kit. 1100mAh battery, two power modes, a hidden 0.96 inch display, and OXVA’s Unitech 2.0 anti-leak technology. It’s designed for <a href="https://totally-vapour.co.uk/product-category/e-liquid/e-liquid-nic-salt-e-liquids/">nic salt users</a> who want the simplicity and low maintenance feel of a <a href="https://totally-vapour.co.uk/product-category/vape-kits/vape-kits-pod-kits/">prefilled pod system</a> but with the cost savings of a refillable one.
<hr />
<h4 class="p1">How Does the 10ml Pod System Actually Work?</h4>
This is the question most people have when they first hear about the Unione. The answer is simpler than it sounds.
The pod you put in the device is made up of two connected sections. There’s a 2ml vaping chamber at the top — the part with the coil in it — and an 8ml reservoir attached to the side. When you vape, e-liquid is drawn up from the reservoir into the 2ml chamber continuously. The chamber stays consistently filled throughout your session without any input from you.
When the entire 10ml is eventually depleted, you open the top fill port and add up to 8ml of <a href="https://totally-vapour.co.uk/product-category/e-liquid/e-liquid-nic-salt-e-liquids/">your chosen nic salt</a> directly into the reservoir. That’s it. One refill action, up to 8ml at a time, compared to the multiple daily top ups a standard 2ml pod requires.
In practice it feels remarkably close to using a <a href="https://totally-vapour.co.uk/product-category/vape-kits/legal-big-puff-vapes/">prefilled pod kit</a> — you set it up, vape throughout the day, and rarely think about e-liquid levels. The difference is you’re choosing your own e-liquid and spending a fraction of what prefilled pods cost over time.
<hr />
<h4 class="p1">Who Is the OXVA Unione For?</h4>
The Unione is the right kit for a specific type of vaper. Get this right before you buy.
It’s ideal if you:
<ul class="ul1">
<li class="li1">Currently use a refillable pod kit and find yourself topping up two or three times a day</li>
<li class="li1">Are switching from a prefilled pod system and want a refillable option that doesn’t require constant attention</li>
<li class="li1">Vape nic salts or 50/50 e-liquids and prefer a tight MTL draw</li>
<li class="li1">Want a low maintenance, pocket-friendly device for everyday use</li>
<li class="li1">Are looking for a genuinely different pod kit rather than another variation of what you already have</li>
</ul>
It’s not for you if:
<ul class="ul1">
<li class="li1">You prefer sub-ohm, DTL, or high wattage vaping — the 0.8Ω coil is built for MTL only</li>
<li class="li1">You want full wattage control — the Unione gives you two modes and that’s your lot</li>
<li class="li1">You use high VG shortfills — they won’t wick properly through the pod system and will shorten coil life</li>
</ul>
<hr />
Eco Mode vs Boost Mode — Which Should You Use?
One of the most practical questions Unione users ask is which mode to use day to day. Here’s the honest breakdown.
<ul>
<li class="p1">Eco mode is the everyday setting. Lower wattage output, lighter draw, extended battery life, gentler on the coil. For all-day vaping on a single charge this is where you want to be. It also extends pod life because the coil runs cooler.</li>
<li class="p1">Boost mode is for when you want more. Warmer draw, denser vapour, more intense flavour from your nic salt. It’s useful for shorter sessions when you want to get the most from a particular flavour, or when you’re switching from a higher-powered device and the lighter draw of Eco doesn’t feel quite right yet. Battery drains noticeably faster in Boost and the coil runs warmer, so for extended daily use it’s worth switching back to Eco.</li>
</ul>
Most users end up defaulting to Eco and switching to Boost occasionally. That’s the intended use.

</table>
The Unione’s battery is lower than its direct competitors, which is worth noting. Where it wins decisively is the pod capacity — no other kit comes close to 10ml. If refill frequency is your main frustration with pod kits, the Unione solves it better than anything else on the market. If battery life is your priority and you’re happy topping up a 2ml pod, the <a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://totally-vapour.co.uk/product/oxva-xlim-go-2-pod-vape-kit/">OXVA XLIM Go 2</a> at £9.99 is the more practical choice. If you want the most features for your money, the <a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://totally-vapour.co.uk/product/vaporesso-xros-5-pod-vape-kitt/">Vaporesso XROS 5</a> at £23.99 is hard to beat.
<hr />
How to Get the Best Performance from the OXVA Unione
A few practical tips that make a genuine difference:
<ul>
<li class="p1">Prime the coil properly. After filling the reservoir for the first time on a new pod, leave it for at least five minutes before vaping. Rushing this is the most common cause of dry hits on the first draw.</li>
<li class="p1">Use nic salts or 50/50 e-liquids at 10mg or 20mg. High VG e-liquids won’t wick efficiently through the pod. Stick to nic salts for the best results — the 0.8Ω coil is built specifically for them.</li>
<li class="p1">Don’t wait until it’s bone dry. Topping up the reservoir when it gets low rather than running it completely empty keeps the coil running cleanly and extends pod life.</li>
<li class="p1">Avoid high-sweetener e-liquids if you want longer pod life. Heavily sweetened nic salts caramelise the coil faster. If you’re burning through pods quickly, switching to a lower-sweetener e-liquid is the first thing to try.</li>
<li class="p1">Use Eco mode as your default. It extends battery life, extends pod life, and for most nic salt vapers the draw quality is excellent. Boost is there when you need it.</li>
</ul>
<hr />
Is the OXVA Unione Worth Buying?
For the right vaper — yes, without hesitation.
If you’re tired of constantly topping up a 2ml pod throughout the day, the Unione is the only device on the UK market that genuinely solves that problem within TPD rules. The 10ml system works exactly as described, the hidden display is a nice practical touch, and at £18.99 the price is fair for what you’re getting.
The battery is slightly smaller than comparable kits at this price point, and it’s strictly an MTL device — so if you vape in any other style it’s not the right choice. But for everyday nic salt vapers who want a more relaxed, less interrupted experience, the OXVA Unione is genuinely one of the most interesting pod kits released in the UK this year.
You can pick one up at Totally Vapour — the <a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://totally-vapour.co.uk/product/oxva-unione-pod-vape-kit/">OXVA Unione Pod Vape Kit</a> is available now at £16.99 in seven colours. When your pod needs replacing, <a href="https://totally-vapour.co.uk/product/oxva-unione-replacement-pod/">OXVA Unione Replacement Pods</a> are also in stock.

If you’re looking for the best value in vaping, bundle deals are where it’s at.
At <a class="decorated-link" href="https://totally-vapour.co.uk/bundles/?utm_source=chatgpt.com" target="_new" rel="noopener" data-start="338" data-end="429">Totally Vapour Bundle Deals</a>, we’ve taken the guesswork out of buying your vape setup by combining everything you need into one simple package — at a price that beats buying items individually.
Whether you’re new to vaping or a seasoned user, our bundles are designed to give you more puffs, more flavour, and more savings.
<hr data-start="731" data-end="734" />
<h2 data-section-id="14qbjwa" data-start="736" data-end="769">What Are Vape Bundle Deals?</h2>
Vape bundles are curated packages that include devices, pods, refills, and sometimes multiple flavour options — all in one deal.
Instead of buying each item separately, you get:
<ul data-start="950" data-end="1061">
<li data-section-id="1mv6uzj" data-start="950" data-end="982">A complete setup ready to go</li>
<li data-section-id="kkrbxi" data-start="983" data-end="1011">Multiple pods or refills</li>
<li data-section-id="ddok5l" data-start="1012" data-end="1061">Huge savings compared to individual purchases</li>
</ul>
In fact, our bundles can save you up to 30% versus buying products separately.
<hr data-start="1185" data-end="1188" />
<h2 data-section-id="1dciria" data-start="1190" data-end="1231">Why Our Bundle Deals Are So Popular</h2>

You’re essentially getting premium brands at discounted prices, making it the smartest way to stock up.
<hr data-start="1494" data-end="1497" />
<h3 data-section-id="47e2ft" data-start="1499" data-end="1527">2. Massive Puff Counts</h3>

<h2>Why Fresh E-Liquid Is Better</h2>
Most vape juice in the UK is mass-produced and stored before sale.
That means by the time it reaches you, it may already be weeks old.
At Totally Vapour, we do things differently.
We mix your vape juice fresh to order, giving you:
Stronger, cleaner flavour Consistent quality Custom nicotine control A better overall vaping experience
Fresh always wins.
<div contenteditable="false"><hr /></div>

<div contenteditable="false"><hr /></div>
<h2>Choosing the Right Nicotine Strength</h2>
Getting your nicotine level right is key.
If you’re switching from smoking, you may prefer a higher strength to begin with — then reduce over time.
Totally Vapour offers flexible options so you can find your perfect balance.
<div contenteditable="false"><hr /></div>
<h2>Quality You Can Trust</h2>
We don’t cut corners.
All Totally Vapour e-liquids are:

<content:encoded><![CDATA[
If your vape pen isn’t working after a charge, you’re likely feeling confused and frustrated, especially if it was functioning fine before. This guide aims to clarify the issue. Generally, there’s no need to worry because it’s highly unlikely that charging caused the problem. Instead, the issue probably has a simple explanation and solution.
To determine why your vape pen stopped working after charging, consider why you charged it. Did you charge it because the battery was dead, or were you troubleshooting another issue? If you were troubleshooting, charging might not have resolved the problem. This guide will cover scenarios for both situations.
Why is your vape pen not working after a charge? Let’s explore some common possibilities.
Your Vape Pen Is Turned Off
The simplest reason is that the vape pen might be turned off. If your device has a manual fire button, press it five times. If the device blinks, you’ve turned it on. Try using it again to see if the issue is resolved.
For simple 510-thread batteries or pod vapes without a manual fire button, the device turns on automatically when you connect a pod or cartridge. If nothing happens when you puff, remove and reconnect the pod or cartridge. If it still doesn’t work, continue reading for more solutions.
Your Vape Pen Isn’t Detecting the Pod or Cartridge
For 510-thread vape pens or pod systems without a fire button, if the device isn’t working after you’ve removed and reinserted the cartridge, check for leaks under the cartridge. If it’s leaked, clean and dry both the cartridge and the device thoroughly. If it still doesn’t work, try replacing the cartridge. For vape tanks with replaceable coils, try replacing the coil.
Your Vape Pen Isn’t Actually Charged
If you charged your vape pen because the battery was dead and it still doesn’t work, ensure it’s actually charging. If your vape pen has a screen, it will display a “Low Battery” message if the battery is dead. If it doesn’t have a screen, an indicator light will blink when you try to vape. Check the manual to confirm this blink code indicates a dead battery.
If the battery is dead, troubleshoot why your vape pen isn’t charging:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Wiggle the USB cable in the charging port. If the connector moves, the port might have a weak or broken solder point. Adjust the cable to see if it starts charging. If the port is broken, you’ll need to replace the device.</li>
<li>Try a different USB cable. Damaged cables often cause charging issues.</li>
<li>Connect your vape pen to a different power source, like a USB wall adapter (not one for a smartphone or tablet). Use an adapter with a power delivery of 5 volts and 1 amp.</li>
<li>Ensure the charging port is clean. Use a toothpick to remove any debris.</li>
</ul>
Your Cartridge Is Clogged
If you’re using a 510-thread battery with thick vape oil, the oil might thicken if stored in a cool place. This can cause the cartridge to clog. To fix it:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Use a needle or paperclip to clear clogs in the airflow openings or chimney.</li>
<li>Puff more firmly to force air through and break the clog.</li>
<li>Warm the cartridge between your hands or in front of a heater to melt the clog.</li>
</ul>
Your Vape Pen’s Battery Is Finished
Lithium-ion batteries typically last for 300-500 charge cycles. If your vape pen’s run time has decreased and it isn’t working after a charge, the battery might be finished. Signs include:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The device never shows that charging is complete.</li>
<li>The device shows it’s fully charged quickly but dies almost immediately.</li>
</ul>
If either applies, it’s time to recycle and replace your vape pen.
Your Vape Pen Overheated While Charging
If none of the above scenarios fit, the battery might have overheated during charging, especially if connected to an incompatible charger. Overheating signs include strange smells or the device feeling unusually hot. Disconnect it immediately if this happens and move it to a fire-safe location.
If your vape pen is unresponsive after overheating, it’s likely the battery is damaged. In this case, you’ll need to replace the device.

<h1 class="wp-elements-dec3ea303efda1fdd1ad21bcb54a4571" data-section-id="19sr9xw" data-start="463" data-end="528">UK Vape Tax 2026 Explained: £2.20 Per 10ml Vaping Products Duty</h1>
From 1 October 2026, the United Kingdom will introduce a new vape tax known as Vaping Products Duty, which will apply to all e-liquids sold across the country.
This change is expected to significantly increase the cost of vaping products and will affect all vape users, whether they use nicotine salts, shortfills, or pre-filled pods.
In this guide, we explain what the UK vape tax is, how much prices could increase, and what it means for vapers, retailers, and the wider vaping industry.
The upcoming UK vape tax, officially known as Vaping Products Duty, will introduce a £0.22 per ml tax on all vape liquids sold in the UK from October 1st 2026.

<li data-start="1076" data-end="1359">Managed by <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/hm-revenue-customs">HM Revenue & Customs</a></li>
</ul>
 
<h1 data-section-id="1sm3fsx" data-start="1366" data-end="1392">What Is the UK Vape Tax?</h1>
The Vaping Products Duty is a new government tax that will apply to all vape liquids sold within the UK from 1 October 2026.
The tax will be administered by <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/hm-revenue-customs">HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC)</a> and introduces a flat rate of £0.22 per millilitre (22p per ml).
Unlike previous vaping regulations, the tax applies regardless of nicotine content, meaning even 0mg vape liquids will be taxed.
The duty applies to a wide range of vaping products, including:
<ul>
<li data-start="1881" data-end="2117"><a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://totally-vapour.co.uk/product-category/e-liquid/e-liquid-nic-salt-e-liquids/">Nicotine salt e-liquids</a></li>
<li data-start="1881" data-end="2117"><a href="https://totally-vapour.co.uk/product-category/e-liquid/e-liquid-nic-salt-e-liquids/">Standard 10ml vape liquid bottles</a></li>
<li data-start="1881" data-end="2117"><a href="https://totally-vapour.co.uk/product-category/e-liquid/e-liquid-shortfill-e-liquids/">Shortfill e-liquids</a></li>
<li data-start="1881" data-end="2117"><a href="https://totally-vapour.co.uk/product-category/vape-kits/legal-big-puff-vapes/">Pre-filled vape pods</a></li>
<li data-start="1881" data-end="2117"><a href="https://totally-vapour.co.uk/product-category/mixing-supplies/">DIY mixing ingredients such as base liquid and concentrates</a></li>
</ul>
In short, almost all vape liquids sold in the UK will fall under the new duty system.

<h1 data-start="2032" data-end="2094">How Much Will the UK Vape Tax Increase Vape Liquid Prices?</h1>
Because the tax is calculated per millilitre, larger bottles of e-liquid will see the biggest price increases.
Below are estimated examples based on typical retail prices.

</tbody>
</table>
</div>
</div>
For example:
A 10ml bottle currently costing around £2.99 could increase to roughly £5.63 after duty and VAT.
Shortfills will experience even bigger increases because they contain larger quantities of liquid.
A <a href="https://totally-vapour.co.uk/product-category/e-liquid/e-liquid-shortfill-e-liquids/page/2?filter_bottle-size=100ml">100ml shortfill</a> could exceed £30 before <a href="https://totally-vapour.co.uk/product-category/mixing-supplies/nic-shots-mixing-supplies/">nicotine shots</a> are added.

<h1 data-section-id="ycsrt8" data-start="3391" data-end="3413">UK Vape Tax Timeline</h1>
Understanding when the new vaping duty comes into effect is important for both consumers and businesses.
March 2024 The <a href="https://www.gov.uk/">UK Government</a> first announced plans to introduce a new vape tax as part of wider tobacco and <a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/e-cigarettes-regulations-for-consumer-products">vaping regulations.</a>
2025 Further details regarding the structure of Vaping Products Duty were confirmed.
1 October 2026 The new vape tax officially comes into effect across the United Kingdom.
From this date onwards, all vape liquids sold within the UK must include the £0.22 per ml duty.
Businesses must comply with reporting and payment rules set by <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/hm-revenue-customs">HM Revenue & Customs.</a>
<h1 data-section-id="c6tgaj" data-start="4071" data-end="4118"> </h1>
<h1 data-section-id="c6tgaj" data-start="4071" data-end="4118">Why Is the Government Introducing a Vape Tax?</h1>
The UK government has stated that the new duty is designed to:
<ul>
<li data-start="4184" data-end="4329">Discourage youth vaping</li>
<li data-start="4184" data-end="4329">Align vaping taxation more closely with tobacco products</li>
<li data-start="4184" data-end="4329">Generate additional government tax revenue</li>
</ul>
However, some industry figures believe the tax could have unintended consequences, including increasing the cost of vaping significantly for regular users.
Some critics have also raised concerns that higher vape prices could lead some consumers to return to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cigarette">Traditional Cigarettes.</a>
<h1 data-section-id="nvdux2" data-start="4636" data-end="4693"> </h1>
<h1 data-section-id="nvdux2" data-start="4636" data-end="4693">How the Vape Tax Could Affect Different Types of Vapers</h1>
<hr />
<h3 data-section-id="9tkhtk" data-start="4695" data-end="4718">Pre-Filled Pod Users</h3>
Users of <a href="https://totally-vapour.co.uk/product-category/vape-kits/legal-big-puff-vapes/">pre-filled pod systems</a> may notice some of the biggest price increases per refill.
Because pods contain relatively small amounts of liquid, the added tax could significantly increase the cost of using these devices.
Some users may switch to <a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://totally-vapour.co.uk/product-category/vape-kits/vape-kits-pod-kits/">refillable vape devices</a> to reduce long-term costs.
<hr />
<h3 data-section-id="toe96r" data-start="5060" data-end="5080">10ml Bottle Users</h3>
Vapers who regularly buy <a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://totally-vapour.co.uk/product-category/e-liquid/e-liquid-nic-salt-e-liquids/">standard 10ml bottles</a> will likely notice an increase of around £2.20 per bottle.
This could lead to:
<ul>
<li data-start="5230" data-end="5320">Higher monthly vaping costs</li>
<li data-start="5230" data-end="5320">Reduced consumption</li>
<li data-start="5230" data-end="5320">Switching to alternative formats</li>
</ul>
<hr />
<h3 data-section-id="10hpd0a" data-start="5327" data-end="5345">Shortfill Users</h3>
Shortfill users are expected to be among the hardest hit.
Because shortfills contain large volumes of liquid, the per-ml duty quickly adds up.
For example:
<ul>
<li data-start="5510" data-end="5602">A 100ml shortfill may exceed £30</li>
<li data-start="5510" data-end="5602">This price is before nicotine shots are added</li>
</ul>
For many users, this could dramatically change the affordability of <a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://totally-vapour.co.uk/product-category/e-liquid/e-liquid-shortfill-e-liquids/">large e-liquid bottles.</a>
<hr />
<h3 data-section-id="1ghsqvh" data-start="5718" data-end="5740">DIY E-Liquid Mixers</h3>
DIY mixing has historically allowed experienced users to reduce vaping costs.
However, under the new duty system, raw ingredients used for mixing may also be subject to regulation and taxation.
Only businesses registered with <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/hm-revenue-customs">HM Revenue & Customs</a> will be authorised to distribute duty-paid vaping liquids.
Unapproved distribution could lead to penalties or fines.
<h1 data-section-id="k6vizr" data-start="6143" data-end="6203"> </h1>
<h1 data-section-id="k6vizr" data-start="6143" data-end="6203">Will the Vape Tax Make Vaping More Expensive Than Smoking?</h1>
Even after the introduction of vape duty, vaping is still expected to remain cheaper than smoking traditional cigarettes for many users.
However, the price difference could shrink significantly, particularly for users who prefer large shortfill bottles.
This may influence how some consumers choose their nicotine products in the future.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[
By Neil Fearns 
What Is Disposable Vapes?
A disposable vape, also known as a disposable e-cigarette, is a small, lightweight, and portable device. It consists of a battery, a heating element (coil), and a prefilled e-liquid cartridge. Some models also feature an LED indicator that shows battery life or other information. The cartridge contains e-liquid or vape juice, which comes in various flavours and nicotine levels, including traditional tobacco, menthol, fruity, and dessert flavours. There are also nicotine-free disposable vapes available.
The battery powers the vaporization of the e-liquid when you inhale. Since disposable vapes are designed for single or limited use, the battery is not rechargeable. Once the battery is depleted or the e-liquid is finished, the entire device is discarded. Typically, a disposable vape lasts for one to two days.
Types Of Disposables Vapes
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Cigarette style disposable vapes</li>
<li>Disposable vape bars</li>
<li>Pen-stye disposable vapes</li>
<li>Sub-ohm Disposable Vapes</li>
</ul>
Advantages Of Disposable Vapes
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Disposable vapes are very convenient as they come prefilled and ready to use right out of the box. </li>
<li>Since disposable vapes are made for single, there is no need for maintenance like cleaning coils or replacing parts. </li>
<li>Disposable vapes come in a wide range of flavours, like fruity, minty, liquorice, icy, etc. </li>
<li>They are much cheaper for people who smoke only occasionally. </li>
<li>With disposable vapes, there is no risk of leaking e-liquid since they come prefilled and sealed by the manufacturer. </li>
<li>Users can test vaping without committing to a more expensive device.</li>
</ul>
What are Pod Systems?
Pod systems feature a minimal design without buttons or settings. To activate them, you either inhale from the device or press a button, depending on the model. Pods can be refilled with e-liquid or come as prefilled cartridges. Some systems use closed pods that are filled and sealed by manufacturers, while others have open, refillable pods for multiple uses.
The e-liquid in these pods comes in various flavours and nicotine strengths. Pod systems have a small battery, typically built into the device, with power varying based on the size and brand. Many pod systems are equipped with USB charging ports for convenient recharging.
Advantages of Pod Systems
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>They often have a simple design with no complicated settings, making them easy for beginners. </li>
<li>Refillable pods can be less costly in the long run compared to disposable vapes, as users only need to replace the e-liquid rather than the entire device.</li>
<li>Many pod systems use nicotine salts, which have a smooth throat hit and quick nicotine absorption. </li>
<li>Many pod systems offer longer battery life compared to disposable vapes.</li>
<li>Refillable pods help reduce waste compared to disposable vapes.</li>
</ul>
Types Of Disposable Pods
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Open pods</li>
<li>Close pods</li>
</ul>
Final Thoughts
Choosing between disposable vapes and pod systems depends on your personal preferences and needs. Disposable vapes are affordable and highly convenient, making them ideal for beginners. On the other hand, pod systems might be a better choice if you seek a more customizable and long-term solution.
For instance, the Sky Hunter 2600 is a TPD-compliant vape device that provides an exceptional vaping experience with its 2600 puff capacity and four flavours in one. It is designed for those who enjoy big puffs and long-lasting vaping sessions.
FAQs
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>How to dispose of disposable vapes</li>
</ul>
The most used, safe and convenient way is to return it to a retailer or just put it in a vape disposal can. 
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Are pod vapes better than disposable?</li>
</ul>
Totally depends upon your suitability to their features, but 4-in-1 systems are much better for the environment than traditional disposable system.

What is the Vaping Products Duty (VPD)? 
In the budget announced on March 6th, the chancellor announced a new duty on vaping. This duty will come into force from October 2026.
Update (2026 Guide): Since this article was first published, more information has been confirmed about the upcoming vape tax. For a full breakdown of how the UK Vape Tax 2026 will affect e-liquid prices and vaping products, read our updated guide here: <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f449.png" alt="👉" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> <a href="https://totally-vapour.co.uk/uk-vape-tax-2026/">UK Vape Tax 2026 Explained</a>
The rates for the vape duty will be:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>£1 per 10ml for nicotine free liquids.</li>
<li>£2 per 10ml for 0.1-10.9mg nicotine per ml liquids.</li>
<li>£3 per 10ml for 11-20mg nicotine per ml liquids.</li>
</ul>
The government will also be bringing in another increase on tobacco, which will increase 100 cigarettes or 50 grams of tobacco by £2 from October 2026.
There is a 12-week consultation period on the policy design and technical details which has been launched.
You can read through the budget here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/spring-budget-2024">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/spring-budget-2024</a>
So what do we think the consequences will be of this vaping duty? 
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>For starters. the cost of vaping will immediately increase. This could lead to a decline in vaping rates, and in turn, increase the amount of people smoking again.</li>
<li>Further to the first point, this could increase the amount of people turning to dangerous, illicit vapes on the black market.</li>
<li>This vape duty prices out many younger people from vaping & we know from all the research that unfortunately, many young people have started vaping recently with the rise of single use (disposable) vape devices. Clearly, this trend was not a good thing, and something that this duty is attempting to address. However, this new duty leaves these young people, who are now addicted to nicotine, with a big problem going forward.</li>
<li> Vaping has been shown as a great harm reducer for cigarette smokers, with Public Health England stating it is at least 95% safer than smoking cigarettes. (<a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/5b6c3f57ed915d30f140f822/Ecigarettes_an_evidence_update_A_report_commissioned_by_Public_Health_England_FINAL.pdf">https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/5b6c3f57ed915d30f140f822/Ecigarettes_an_evidence_update_A_report_commissioned_by_Public_Health_England_FINAL.pdf</a>). </li>
</ul>
As mentioned earlier, we would expect many people to turn back to smoking cigarettes when this duty comes into force. For public health, this is a disaster and goes against the government’s plan to create a smoke free generation by 2030.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[
A licensing framework for the UK vape industry has been put forward to parliament this week. The scheme, which has been designed to allow Trading Standards to tackle the rise of illicit vapes and underage vape sales, would be the first of its kind in the UK.
If you’ve been following our <a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://totally-vapour.co.uk/blog/">latest news</a>, or keeping up with the recent media coverage, you’ll be aware that single-use disposable vape kits are set to be banned in the UK. The government’s reasons focus on tackling the rise in youth vaping; however, the UK already has regulations in place regarding the sale of vapes to minors, which an outright ban would not solve.
Banning legal disposables, and placing further restrictions on responsible vape retailers, will empower and boost the already-thriving black market. There aren’t sufficient ‘boots on the ground’ to deal with the current levels of rogue activity; and the one-off funding proposed by the government to bolster Trading Standards and Border Control is woefully inadequate.
Many conscientious vape retailers, like ourselves, have been pushing the idea of a licensing scheme for years. When it became obvious that no such framework would be forthcoming from the government, 
What are the objectives of the vape retailer licensing scheme?
Following consultation with UKVIA stakeholders, Trading Standards officials, vape industry experts, and business owners across the convenience store and supermarket sector, they initiated a potential new legislation model with the following objectives:
<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li>To create a sustainable and viable funding base for enforcement and inspection functions relating to the vape sector.</li>
<li>To foster a more responsible and accountable sector by tackling key concerns and challenges such as youth access and illicit product sales.</li>
<li>To better enable regulators and Trading Standards to enforce existing and future legislation proactively.</li>
<li>To reinstate trust in the legitimate vape sector and enable vaping to fulfil its full potential in helping the UK hit its smoke-free 2030 ambition.</li>
</ol>
What does the proposed licensing scheme involve?
First and foremost, the licensing scheme outlines who would be eligible for a vape retail licence. Currently, anyone has free rein to sell vapes – you can buy them in your local takeaway, the laundrette, a sweet shop, or from your Uber driver. 
This is a completely ridiculous state of affairs that is creating a black market, exacerbating youth access, and generating media panic – all leading to government overreach. It also puts a tremendous amount of pressure on Trading Standards, which allows the rogue traders to stay under the radar.
To qualify for a vape retailer licence, vendors must prove that they:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Actively prevent the sale of vapes to minors</li>
<li>Only stock compliant products</li>
<li>Operate legally across all areas of their business</li>
<li>Meet their environmental obligations</li>
<li>Train staff in the correct handling and promotion of vaping products</li>
<li>Don’t sell products that are blatantly youth appealing</li>
</ul>
The proposed framework includes a self-sustaining fee structure, plus a fine and four-strike penalty system for any business that breaches the terms of the licence.
It will also empower Trading Standards to issue on-the-spot fines to any retailer or distributor caught selling vapes without a licence. The fines would be far more punitive than they currently are, with the highest fine for retailers proposed at £10k. 
The best deterrent to committing a crime is the real and certain risk that you will be caught. The punishment needs to be severe enough to make sure it’s not a risk worth taking.
What are the expected outcomes of this framework?
We all want to ensure that adult smokers have access to vaping, which has been proven time and again to be a far less harmful alternative; not to mention the most effective method for successfully quitting tobacco for good.
We also want to ensure that the vaping products that adult smokers have access to are safe and legitimate, and that minors don’t have access to them at all.
This can only be achieved by proper enforcement, rather than prohibition. The revenue generated from licensing fees alone (not including fines) will deliver upwards of £50m each year to Trading Standards officials, so they can get tough on retailers guilty of underage and illicit vape sales.
Not only does this annual sum far surpass the government’s one-off pledge of 30m, it also removes the burden entirely from taxpayers, and puts it onto the vape industry. 
Why do we want a vape retailer licensing scheme?
It may seem like an odd concept that an industry would voluntarily and vehemently push for a scheme that would not only cost money, but also impose mandatory compliance enforcement. However, we feel it’s the only logical way that we can remove rogue traders from the picture; thereby reducing the demand for illicit vapes to be imported, preventing youth access to vapes, and improving the general public perception of vaping.
We know that there simply isn’t the resource to enforce the existing legislation, and we are furious that the government’s solution to this is to deprive adult smokers from accessing legitimate vaping products.”
Dan Marchant, co-founder of the UK Vaping Industry Association (UKVIA), said:
“It doesn’t matter what legislation the government introduces, whether the newly announced ban on disposables or any future restrictions, a robust and balanced licensing system is critical to ensuring the law can actually be enforced and for ushering in a new era of responsibility, accountability and best practice.
“Trading Standards has been calling for ‘more boots on the ground’ and a more joined up ‘national picture’ to deal with the issues of underage and illicit vape sales and there is no doubt that the introduction of prohibitive new measures will make this challenge even harder.
“The scheme we are proposing is not only self-funding but would be relatively quick and easy to implement and could generate upwards of £50 million in annual funding from retailers alone – this could, in part, be used as a sustainable funding base for enforcement.
“If our licensing scheme was in force, the 2,871 retailers identified as being in possession of, stocking or selling illegal vapes through the newly released FOI research would have been fined a collective £7.1m – alarmingly 95% of these rogue traders went ‘unpunished’ under the current system.”
What’s next for the licensing scheme?
The first phase of the framework creation followed a comprehensive six month consultation period, and the blueprint was distributed to MPs, peers in the House of Lords, Members of the Senedd, Members of the Scottish Parliament, senior civil servants, and health experts, before being unveiled in parliament.
A number of MPs have already publicly expressed support for the idea including Peter Gibson MP, Jim Shannon MP, Mary Kelly Foy MP, Mark Eastwood MP and Dr Caroline Johnson MP.
We now hope that further political momentum will be generated, and constructive feedback can be gathered to shape the vape licensing scheme towards successful implementation as soon as possible.
