FAQs
How is Vaping an Alternative to Smoking?
Vaping offers a popular and effective alternative to smoking by delivering nicotine without the harmful byproducts of tobacco combustion. For those new to vaping, starter kits provide a great introduction with simple functionality and pre-filled options. Many users also choose disposable vapes for their convenience and ease of use. Vaping mimics the act of smoking but with far fewer harmful chemicals, making it a viable step for those looking to quit cigarettes.
What Nicotine Strength Is Right for Me?
The right nicotine strength depends on how much you used to smoke. If you were a heavy smoker (20+ cigarettes a day), a higher strength such as 18mg–20mg might be ideal. Lighter smokers may prefer 5mg–10mg. If you're looking for a smooth throat hit with quick nicotine delivery, consider nicotine salts. These are perfect for satisfying cravings quickly without harshness.
Which Vape Kit Should I Use?
The best vape kit for you depends on your experience level and preferences. Beginners usually benefit from simple starter kits, while more experienced users may prefer pod kits or refillable kits for flexibility and better performance. Those seeking powerful performance might opt for box mods or sub-ohm devices.
Which E-Liquid Should I Use?
It depends on your device and how you vape. Mouth-to-lung (MTL) kits work best with 10ml e-liquids or 50/50 vape juice, while sub-ohm kits are suited for thicker, high-VG liquids. For fast nicotine satisfaction with a smooth feel, try nicotine salts. Check your device’s compatibility before choosing an e-liquid type.

Are Vapes Being Banned?
There is no UK-wide ban on vapes. However, tighter regulations are being introduced, especially around disposable vapes and youth access. The government is focusing on preventing underage vaping while still supporting adult smokers transitioning away from cigarettes.
When Are Disposable Vapes Being Banned?
The UK government has confirmed that the sale of disposable vapes will be banned starting 1st July 2025. This legislation aims to reduce environmental waste and limit youth access to vaping products. While disposables will remain available until that date, we recommend exploring more sustainable alternatives like refillable pod kits and starter kits if you're looking for a longer-term vaping solution.
