The UK disposable vape ban is finally here. If you’re one of the millions of UK vapers who prefer single-use disposables over other types of vapes, it means that your experience is going to be different from now on because you’ll need to switch to a refillable vape.
What vapes are legal after the ban? The UK defines a reusable vape as having:
Innokin is one of the world’s top manufacturers of reusable vapes, and we offer vape kits for people of all experience levels. You might be looking for a non-disposable vape that captures the simplicity of using disposables, or you could be on the hunt for a more advanced reusable vape that gives you bigger clouds and bolder flavours than you could ever get with a single-use vape. Either way, we have a refillable vape that will suit your needs perfectly.
You may have stocked up on disposable vapes ahead of the ban, but your supply won’t last forever. It’s time to choose what you’re going to use going forward. These are the best disposable vape alternatives in the UK broken down into four main categories: pre-filled pod vapes, refillable pod vapes, vape pens and vape mods.
One of the things that makes disposable vapes so convenient and enjoyable to use is the fact that they’re already filled with e-liquid and ready to use when you buy them. Pre-filled pod vapes are similar in that they store their e-liquid in pre-filled pods that you can discard and replace when they’re empty. Because each pod includes a new coil, though, pre-filled pod vapes aren’t considered single-use vapes and aren’t included in the ban.
The Innokin Klypse C1 is unique among pod vapes because it works with both pre-filled and refillable pods – so if you’re not sure what you want, you can try both and see what the best fit is for your vaping style.
If you’d rather use a vape with a mini-box form factor, try the ultra-compact Innokin Klypse Zip. The Innokin Klypse Pro is also available for those who need a bit more flexibility; it works within a selectable power range of 6-25 watts. All Klypse devices work with both pre-filled and refillable pods.
A refillable pod vape works similarly to a pre-filled pod vape in that it stores its e-liquid in a plastic pod that slides into a chamber at the top of the device. However, refillable pod vapes come with empty pods rather than pre-filled ones. You’ll fill your own pod using bottled e-liquid.
Disposable vapes are being banned in the UK primarily out of concerns over the environmental impact of improper disposal. If you share those concerns, you need to try the Innokin Trine SE because it’s the smallest and most user-friendly refillable vape with a battery that’s removable for easy recycling. With our available standalone battery charger, you can even charge one Trine battery whilst vaping with another – and when a battery stops holding a charge, you can drop it off at a recycling collection point like any other used battery. The Innokin Trine system is the most environmentally friendly series of reusable pod vapes that’s ever been created.
Do you need something with a bit more power? Try the original Innokin Trine, which uses the same removable battery as the Trine SE but offers manually adjustable wattage. The Trine works within a power range of 6-25 watts.
If you want a refillable vape offering the same type of straightforward and user-friendly experience that you get with disposable vapes, you’ve got to take a look at the Innokin Endura V. Beginning vapers have always loved our Endura product range, and the new Endura V is a reusable vape that hits even better than a disposable but still fits comfortably in any pocket. The Endura V has three different pods available with resistances ranging from 0.6 to 1.2 ohm, and switching to a different pod allows you to customise the device’s vapour output and flavour intensity. You can choose a lower resistance for bigger clouds, or you can select a higher resistance for a smoother and cooler experience.
If you’re looking for a refillable vape that offers even more flexibility, consider these alternatives.
Vape pens are named largely for their cylindrical shape; they often look a little like felt-tip pens or small cigars. They’re usually a little larger than refillable pod vapes and typically store their e-liquid in glass tanks instead of plastic pods.
People who prefer the mouth-to-lung (MTL) vaping style are often very picky about the airflow characteristics of their devices. Some people want a vape that has a very tight draw like a cigarette, and others prefer something that’s a bit looser for bigger cloud production. The Innokin EZ Tube is the best vape pen for MTL vaping because it allows you to customise every aspect of your experience and achieve your ideal draw every time.
Vape mods are the largest of all types of vapes. Because vape mods are often somewhat boxy in appearance, people sometimes refer to them as “box mods.” A traditional vape mod usually uses threaded attachments and will typically come with a glass tank. There are also hybrid devices called pod mods, which combine the power of vape mods with the sleekness of pod vapes.
The Innokin CoolFire PZPulse is the ultimate refillable pod vape for true vaping enthusiasts, and it offers a wide range of advanced capabilities that no disposable vape could ever match. The CoolFire PZPulse has a 2,400 mAh battery to provide up to three days of vaping between charges. It also has adjustable power and operates within a range of 6-80 watts. When the flavour quality declines, replacing the coil is easy – just lift the pod out of the device, pull the old coil out of the bottom of the pod and push the new coil in. The PZPulse works with the Innokin PZP Max coil system and has coils available ranging in resistance from 0.2 to 0.6 ohm. When the massive battery does die, you won’t be waiting long for it to charge because the PZPulse supports 2-amp fast charging. The battery charges to 80 percent in just an hour.
The CoolFire PZPulse is designed for an active lifestyle and has several features to ensure that it can keep up with your busy schedule without missing a beat.
Are you ready to step up to a full-fledged vape mod? The Innokin CoolFire Z80 Nex allows you to experience the outstanding flavour quality of a glass tank and offers adjustable power up to a maximum of 80 watts to provide enormous clouds and deep, rich flavours. The CoolFire Z80 Nex is also environmentally friendly because it uses a single 18650 battery that’s removable and replaceable. When the battery stops holding a charge, you can drop it off at any collection point and replace it with a new one.
Although the CoolFire Z80 Nex is surprisingly small and pocketable for the level of power it offers, it’s designed to be the ultimate vape mod for true enthusiasts.
