The Best Disposable Vape Alternatives
Disposable vapes are set to be banned in 2025 in the UK and you may be wondering what you can do to continue vaping once the ban has come into effect.
We've got plenty of great refillable vape kits which are the perfect vape kits as alternatives to single-use vapes. As well as our incredible range of Bar Salts nic salt vape liquids which have been inspired by the popular flavours of disposable vapes.
Read on to learn how EDGE Vaping can help you get ahead of the curve and find your new alternative vape kit to move away from using disposable vapes and still be able to continue vaping once the ban has come into effect.
Prepare For The Upcoming Disposable Vape Ban In The UK
Announced in October 2024, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced that the supply and sale of disposable vapes in the UK will become illegal as of June 1st 2025. And this applies not only to England, but to the whole of the UK.
Scotland were actually the first to announce that they would be banning disposables in April 2025, but this has now been moved to June 2025 to align with the rest of the country.
You may be reading this as a single-use vape user and wondering what's going to happen in your vaping future if you cannot purchase disposable vapes after June next year.
Well, this is what this blog is all about. To advise you on what vape kits we view as the best alternative to disposable vapes. Furthermore, we explore how, here at EDGE Vaping, we can not only help you prepare for the ban, but continue to support you on your vaping journey. With our incredible vape liquids and vaping peripherals such as replacement coils or pods, we have everything you need in our online store.
What To Look For In A Disposable Vape Alternative Vape Device
If you're looking to replace your regular throw away vape with a rechargeable vape kit, you'll likely want to mimic the same effects which a disposable vape gives.
One of the UK's favourite disposable devices, such as the Elf Bar 600, is powered by a 360mAh battery, with the range of single-use vapes generally being 320mAh-500mAh. Meaning that the wattage output will be quite low, around 10/12 watts. As it's a low wattage output, you'll get a mouth to lung (MTL) vaping experience where you inhale, let it hit your throat and then exhale. This is something you need to look for with your future disposable vape kit alternative.
Disposable vapes are notoriously small in size too, well...legal ones are. They slip nicely into any pocket or bag. Making them lightweight and incredibly transportable so you'll want to aim to choose a vape kit of a similar size. However, most reusable vape kits are going to be slightly larger in size as they house a much bigger battery than the small 360(ish) mAh battery used to power disposable vapes.
Finally, the vape juice that is used in disposable vapes is nicotine salt e-liquids. You're going to want to find a vape kit that pairs perfectly with nic salts, so you'll get the same smooth, satisfying nicotine hit alongside maximum flavour.
Let's take a look at what disposable alternative vape kits we have on offer here at EDGE Vaping as well as the perfect nic salt vape liquids to pair with them!
Alternatives To Disposable Vapes At EDGE Vaping
Here at EDGE Vaping, we stock a carefully hand picked selection of vape kits. Which are perfect for any vaper regardless of their level of experience. We have starter kits, perfect for new vapers. As well as more advanced kits for those who may have been vaping a while and looking to level up with a new kit, that has advanced features such as variable wattage.
We've picked out some of the best disposable vape alternatives below. Alongside a snapshot of information about them and why we feel they would be the perfect replacement for the disposable vapes.
Why not consider getting ahead of the UK disposable vape ban and upgrade to a refillable vape kit now? Not only will it future proof yourself, but also using rechargeable vape kits are considerably cheaper to use in the long run. When compared to constantly buying disposable vapes which is a costly way to vape. They generally only last you for a day before either the battery runs out or the 2ml of vape liquid inside it runs out. Like the Elf Bar, with no way to refill them, you then need to buy a whole new device.
Aspire have made some incredible vape kits over the years. We've picked a few of them to highlight their great options when moving away from disposable vapes.
The Cyber G Slim is a sleek and slimline vape kit. Similar to a disposable and uses refillable TG Pods, which house coils that are available in varying ohms resistances.
Despite it's small size, it houses an impressive 1200mAh battery. Which will give you a full day and more usage on a full charge. And the pods have the coils preinstalled offering convenience so to not have to change coils.
Aspire Cyber G Slim - Violet Red is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
The Sonder Q2 is one of the latest refillable pod vape kits that we have added to our selection available at EDGE Vaping. It's already proving a big hit with our customers!
Continuing on from the success of the Sonder Q, the Sonder Q2 offers the same great experience, but with a bigger battery than it's predecessor. Coupled with enhanced coil technology to provide long lasting life and enhanced flavouring from your vape liquid too!
Try the Sonder Q2 today as your disposable vape kit alternative!
GeekVape Sonder Q2 Vape Kit - Midnight Black is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
Moving away from a pod kit, we're putting the PockeX on this list, due to the sheer legacy that this pen vape kit has in the vape world.
It's been around on the market for the last 6/7 years and was actually one of the first 3rd party vape kits that we stocked here at EDGE. Partnered alongside our own Edge Pro and Edge Go vape kits, and it's still as popular today with vapers as it was when it first came out.
This does differ in the way it uses replacement coils, but they are extremely easy and simple to replace. Plus the battery life will last all day and provide a punchy yet smooth mouth to lung vape experience every time!
ASPIRE PockeX Vape Kit - Black is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
Finally, we're going to look at another Aspire device. This is technically a disposable on the surface, but it is rechargeable as well as refillable, both things a traditional disposable is not!
The R1 has been designed to mimic a disposable but the difference is you are able to refill it with any vape juice that's a 50/50 ratio.
When you can also recharge this device up to 7 times (approx.) before the coil will burn out and reach the end of it's life. When this happens, you dispose of the device and get yourself a new one. Although, looking for a completely reusable vaping style would be great for the environment, the Aspire R1 is a great temporary step to get used to rechargeable options.
Aspire R1 - Aqua Blue is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
Bar Salts Nic Salts - 10ml Disposable Vape Flavours
Now, lets talk about e-liquids. One of the primary reasons why people are drawn to using disposable vapes is for the deliciously tempting flavours of the vape juice. Which is housed inside the brightly coloured batteries made by Elf Bar, Lost Mary, ELUX, SKE Crystal and more.
To use disposable vapes just for these flavours can work out very costly in the long run. Remember that you only get 2ml of vape liquid inside each disposable vape. Not including the new big puff disposable vapes which uses prefilled pods inside one larger device. You're effectively paying an average cost of £6 or more for just 2ml of nic salt e-liquids.
This is the reason why we created our Bar Salts range of nicotine salt e-liquids. Having been inspired by the popular flavours of leading disposable vape brands. Our flavour experts have worked tirelessly to create an incredible range of 10ml nic salts. Which are made in the UK, at our state of the art facilities.
We've recently updated our Bar Salts range to include Soda inspired flavours, Dessert inspired flavours as well as Single Fruit flavours that do not have any added ice. Which is perfect for you if you're not a fan of the cool finish, which most disposable vape flavours have added to it.
