UK Gov To Ban Disposables?

[Netvaper]

I guess the term single use comes into play. Some of the 10000 or 15000 puff disposables are charged several times before the juice runs out.

If you can't replace the pod in a vape device it is in effect single use, aka once the juice is used up it can no longer be used.

Wouldn't it be a good idea if someone came up with a pod or tank that you can refill and replace the coil! Even better, make ur own coils.

LOL. I use nothing else.

The flavour ban, plain packaging and 25% tax on vaping products will destroy the industry in the UK. 2 years time there will be no vape products in the UK.

Hopefully all our lovely little kids will stop getting their disposables from black market under the counter outlets and switch to mods with 510 tanks so we start to get some new decent kits coming into the country.

Well, according to this, he’s made his mind up already. Fuck getting it through parliament - this is what’s happening.

Someone was asking about the impact of the proposed legislation on shortfills:

Government response

While the market for non-nicotine vapes is currently a fraction of the overall vape market, the use of non-nicotine vapes and other consumer nicotine products is increasing among young people and younger men. This consultation feedback shows widespread support for regulating non-nicotine vapes and other consumer nicotine products under a similar regulatory framework as nicotine vapes. The UK Government will seek to introduce a range of regulatory making powers to protect young people from these products.

For non-nicotine vapes, the UK Government will impose age of sale restrictions to those aged 18 or above, ban the purchase of these products by others for those who are under 18 and ban the free distribution of these products (for example, samples). The UK Government also intends to bring forward regulations which will extend all these restrictions to other nicotine products (for example, pouches).

The UK Government also intends to include non-nicotine vapes and other consumer nicotine products in the scope of future regulations to:

• restrict flavours
• restrict point of sale display and packaging and product presentation
• enable FPNs to be issued as part of enforcement
• close the potential for loopholes that could undermine our wider mission to reduce the appeal and accessibility of vapes to children

This will mean all consumer nicotine products and non-nicotine vapes are covered under a similar regulatory framework. Before any regulations are made, there would be an assessment of the impact of the proposed legislation and further consultation.
...........

This will mean all consumer nicotine products and non-nicotine vapes are covered under a similar regulatory framework.

Is this gonna be the end of shortfills? Depends what they mean by "covered under a similar regulatory framework." If non nicotine vape liquid is treated the same as eliquid with nic then shortfills would be limited to the legal 10ml maximum size

Well that's as clear as mud. Good that it sounds like we have the opportunity to air our views in another consultation. The last one was a complete waste of 2hrs of my life.
