A new tax on vapes of £2.20 per 10ml of e-cigarette liquid will kick in from October 2026.
So in leymans terms if your paying lets say 4 10ml bottles for £10
Thats £2.50 per bottle after the tax kicks in it will be £4.70
Lets say shortfills are £9 for 100ml Now the same bottle will be £31 for the same bottle.
The tax is ruthless as it does not discriminate about nicotine content its simply per 10ml of liquid.
Do you think this will be the end of retailers or do you think there will be a way around it.
I mean at present the most expensive nic salts I buy is 99p for 20mg 10ml bottles and they are great.
So me paying that price the tax would not be the end of the world, not that I am trying to justify the tax as I think its a disgrace.
It will either make people return to cigs or open a black market liquid supply that will be unregulated.
Whats your thoughts on this. ?

What I'd like to know is the final price of a one shot 250ml bottle.
Now it only has 50ml of concentrate to start with. VG and Pg is separate bottles so hopefully they shouldn't be any extra price. So initial price of shot at roughly £10-15 + 5 x £2.20 concentrate + 5 x £2.20 for 5 nic shots so £37 and then vat on top of the lot.

So to your question shortfills could become a thing of the past as most of the shortfill is actually VG and Pg but as it's mixed it will be chargeable per 10ml but if like me you use shots then it may work out cheaper.
It's a total mind fuck how this is all going to work out.
