Kids will do whatever's in at the time, regardless of cost. This will achieve nothing progressive, but i'll give it to them it's an easy tax target. An increase in tax on vape by a small amount i'd except as reasonable. Though what this tax hike does do is contribute to the furthering dividing opinions on smoking and alienation of individuals.

So E-liquids are going to be taxed at a flat £2.20 rate this time next year, seems like a bone headed move to me.

I was kind of expecting some level of taxation as they had to find some way to replace the lost revenue from tobacco sales, i did however expect them to start small and increase it overtime. Not for them to go straight in with an almost 90% increase in price for what i typical buy.

I get the desire to prevent children and people who've never smoked from taking up vaping but damn, a 90% increase seems excessive when better regulation and enforcement was an option.

Thought it was per 10ml? Which is going to make a 100ml short fill mega expensive!

Frankly ridiculous.

 

[cu3ed]

So does that mean each 10mil made tiny bottle automatically is now £2.50 more expensive?

 

[something daft already!!]

Saw a around ten year old child last night night puffing away on one. My partner has a one to help her stop smoking and it's helped. She no longer smokes ciggies at all now. Trouble is, I started using her vape and have found myself slightly addicted again.

Interested to see how it works

From October 2026.

 

[Captfirefox]

A new tax on vapes of £2.20 per 10ml of e-cigarette liquid will kick in from October 2026.

UK Vape Tax Increase: Expectations and Implications

Says a 100ml short sill will go from £15 to £37, an increase of 137%.

I think i may have to go down that route now also, typically i buy 10ml/20mg shots and dilute them to 20ml as it saves faffing around with measuring out flavours and nicotine.

If going full DIY will save what maybe upwards of £200-300 per year then the faff suddenly seems a lot more worth it.

Go nicotine free!

My guess was the 10ml bottles of nicotine will get the same treatment, like how higher concentrate went to wholesale only. It would make at least some sense if the "10ml bottle" tax was related to concentration but i have my doubts.

From what i read they proposed doing that and abandoned it due to the extra costs involved in verifying the nicotine content so they went down the one tax to rule them all route.

 

[The_Arbiter]

So i can see groups getting together to create a wholesale buying option now.

You can still buy nic concentrate in bulk without being a business, bought 2.5l of 7.2% not long after the last set of laws were introduced, enough to last for years.

I know, it sounds completely ridiculous. Vaping was meant to be the cheaper and safer smoking alternative. It will drive up the black market which is a dangerous place to go.

 

[cliffy]

So a 100ml bottle will be £22 before we even start with actiual cost. That makes my fave juice £40 plus another £4.40 for nic shots

 

[JonRGV250]

lol, I go through 200ml a week!
But don’t pay anything like £22 for 100ml though and nic shots are 20x10ml for £15.
May have to look at stopping.

Based on the new taxes your nic shots would cost in total £59.40 and your actual juice £44.40 + what ever you pay now

 

[Cromulent]

Get some 72mg nic and mix your own liquid in advance.

 

[Gilbert89]

Haha - I still have some Nic in the Freezer!

I miss the good old days of Vaping - I stopped the niche side of things similar time to when Nic Shots became available and the general selection reduced massively due to only some Liquid Makers coming up with the Certifications etc.

I now shamefully buy 4000 Puff Hayati Pro Max Crystal from a Dodgy Wholesale Place at £65 for a box of 10 and 1 lasts me 5 Days roughly.

They do have Authenticity Check - Must admit I’m more addicted than I ever was
