On 1st October 2026, the UK Government will introduce a new Vaping Products Duty, which will significantly increase the cost of e-liquids and disposable vapes across the UK.

What does this mean?

The new duty will add £2.20 per 10ml bottle of e-liquid, with VAT then applied on top.

As a result:

• 10ml e-liquids currently selling for around £3 will increase to over £5 per bottle.
• Popular disposable devices such as the Lost Mary BM6000 are expected to increase by around £3 each.
• A customer currently spending around £30 on 10 bottles of e-liquid can expect to pay AT LEAST £50 for the exact same products after 1st October.

Unfortunately, this is a Government tax that applies across the industry, meaning every UK vape retailer will be affected. There is nothing we can do to avoid these price increases once the duty comes into force.

Our Advice

If you know the flavours and nicotine strengths you use regularly, we strongly recommend building up your supply before 1st October.

Purchasing your e-liquids now means you can avoid paying the additional duty on those bottles and potentially save a significant amount of money.

Whether you use Hangsen, Elfliq, IVG, Liqua, Lost Mary, or any of our other e-liquid ranges, now is the ideal time to stock up before the new tax takes effect.

Our team is happy to help if you're planning a larger order or would like advice on how much stock to purchase.

Thank you, as always, for your continued support.
