A good few years ago, disposable vapes were all the rage among adults and underage users. The vibrant colours and sleek designs of these vapes attracted a younger audience, leading to widespread use. This trend has left many young people, who are now of legal age to purchase vapes, with a persistent nicotine addiction. While choosing to vape is ultimately a personal decision, we strongly advise quitting. Nicotine is highly addictive, and the way it is ingested through vaping can be harmful to our bodies.
Now that the UK Prime Minister has introduced a ban on disposable vapes, what’s next? While quitting is the ideal option in a perfect world, it’s not always feasible for everyone. That’s why we have a plan to help you transition. We offer a Starter Kit, internally known as the Disposable Conversion Kit. This kit includes a vaping device and a 10ml bottle of vape juice, providing roughly 5000 puffs, similar to an illegal disposable device. This allows you to gradually reduce your nicotine intake over time.
The Rise and Fall of Disposable Vapes
Disposable vapes gained immense popularity due to their convenience and variety of flavours. They were easy to use, required no maintenance, and were discreet enough to carry around. However, their attractive designs and flavours also made them appealing to a younger demographic, leading to concerns about underage vaping.
The UK government’s decision to ban disposable vapes stems from these concerns, as well as the environmental impact. Disposable vapes contribute to plastic waste and contain hazardous materials that are difficult to recycle. The ban aims to reduce these environmental harms while addressing the public health issue of nicotine addiction among young people.
Why Quit Vaping?
Quitting vaping is the best option for your health. Nicotine addiction can have serious consequences, including increased heart rate, high blood pressure, and potential harm to developing brains in younger users. Moreover, the long-term effects of vaping are still not fully understood, and emerging research suggests that it may pose risks similar to or even greater than traditional smoking.
For those who find it difficult to quit, we recommend gradually reducing your nicotine intake. Our Starter Kit can help you transition from disposable vapes to a more sustainable and cost-effective solution.
The Benefits of Pod Kits
Pod kits offer several advantages over disposable vapes. They are more environmentally friendly, as they produce less waste and can be reused with refillable pods and bottles of vape juice. This not only reduces your environmental footprint but also saves you money in the long run.
A typical disposable vape provides around 500 puffs and costs approximately £10. In contrast, a 10ml bottle of vape juice for a pod kit costs around £4 and provides roughly 5000 puffs, depending on your usage. Over time, the savings add up, making pod kits a more economical choice.
Pod kits also allow for greater customisation of your vaping experience. You can choose from a wide range of flavours and nicotine strengths, enabling you to gradually reduce your nicotine intake. This flexibility is crucial for those looking to quit vaping altogether.
Making the Switch
Transitioning from disposable vapes to pod kits is a straightforward process. Our Disposable Conversion Kit is designed to make this switch as smooth as possible. Here’s how you can make the transition:
-
Purchase the Starter Kit: Our kit includes a high-quality vaping device and a 10ml bottle of vape juice. This provides you with everything you need to start using a pod kit.
-
Set Up Your Device: Follow the instructions included with the kit to set up your device. It’s user-friendly and requires minimal maintenance.
