A new UK vaping tax will add £2.20 per 10ml of e-liquid starting October 1st, increasing vape prices by about 44p per device.Summary
The UK government is introducing a Vaping Products Duty (VPD) from October 1st, 2026, charging a flat rate of £2.20 per 10ml of vaping liquid (22p per ml). This will directly increase the cost of standard 2ml disposable vapes, like Lost Mary or Elf Bar, by approximately 44p each. The tax aims to reduce the appeal and affordability of vaping, particularly among young people and non-smokers, while maintaining a financial incentive for smokers to switch to less harmful alternatives. The duty applies to all nicotine-containing e-liquids intended for vaporization and covers manufacturers, importers, retailers, and others in the UK supply chain.
