Disposable Vape Alternatives
Now that disposable vapes are banned in the UK, pod-based kits offer the closest legal alternative. This collection includes big puff, rechargeable and reusable devices like the Lost Mary BM6000, IVG 2400, and Crystal 600 Pro - all designed to deliver the same flavour, convenience and satisfaction as disposables, but in a format that meets current UK regulations. Explore the range below:
Legal Alternatives Now That Disposable Vapes Are Banned
The UK’s disposable vape ban means single-use devices like the Elf Bar 600 and Lost Mary BM600 are no longer available. But if you're after the same easy, flavour-packed experience, you're in the right place.
These new-generation disposable-style pod kits, also known as big puff vapes, look and feel just like the vapes you’re used to - with a few key upgrades to meet new regulations:
- Rechargeable batteries
- Replaceable pods or refills
- Same great flavour and vapour
- Higher puff counts (up to 10,000)
Best Disposable-Style Vape Kits
Lost Mary BM6000 Pod Kit
The Lost Mary BM6000 pod kit is a high-capacity device that mimics the Lost Mary BM6000 big puff disposable - now with up to 6000 puffs, rechargeable via USB-C, and refillable with Lost Mary BM6000 pods.
Elf Bar 600 Pod Kit
From the makers of Elf Bar, the Elf Bar 600 pod kit features the exact same design and build as the disposable vape and uses prefilled Elf Bar 600 pods that snap into place - no refilling or mess. Enjoy classic Elf Bar flavours in a rechargeable format.
SKE Crystal 600 Pro
The Crystal 600 Pro pod kit is designed to replicate the look and taste of Crystal Bar disposables. Simply pop in a Crystal 600 Pro pod, vape, and recharge when needed.
IVG 2400 Pod Kit
The IVG 2400 4 in 1 Kit is the rechargeable and reusable version of its disposable vape equivalent, and it uses pre-filled IVG 2400 pods. Explore the rest of our IVG pod range here.
PIXL 8000 Kit
The PIXL 8000 kit is an upgrade of its disposable vape predecessor, the Pixl 6000, and it takes pre-filled Pixl refills from the 8000 pod range. This reusable and rechargeable device is more cost-efficient than all single-use vapes as you never have to replace the battery - simply stock up on pods and replace your cartridges with new ones when they run empty.
