What Vapes Can I Use After the Disposable Ban?

• Disposable vapes will be banned in the UK from 1 June 2025.
• Prefilled and refillable pod systems generate less waste, making them more sustainable options.
• Switching to these systems can be more cost-effective in the long run.

All single-use disposable vapes—including popular models like Lost Mary BM600 and Elf Bar 600—are being banned in the UK due to their environmental impact. 

Most end up in landfills, contributing to waste and pollution.

Transitioning from disposable vapes doesn't mean compromising on convenience or flavour.

Prefilled and refillable pod systems provide similar experiences.

Switching from disposables? These are some of the most frequently repurchased alternatives:

Switching from disposables doesn’t just cut waste—it can also save money.

If you use two disposables a week, you could be spending up to £625.68* a year when shopping in-store. 

On Haypp, that drops to around £229.44*—but switching to pods can bring your yearly cost even lower, saving up to £396.28* annually (vs shopping offline).
