In the last few years, more and more vapers have gravitated towards disposable vapes due to their increasing popularity and convenience; they’re also favoured by smokers due to their ease of use. Disposable vapes come prefilled with nic salt e-liquid, normally in 20mg (2%), but sometimes in 10mg (1%), both generally delivering around 600 puffs or 1 ish full day of vaping.
The disposables that you’ll find at Vape.co.uk and the majority of local shops are all TPD compliant, meaning they contain a regulated amount of e-liquid and nicotine. However, some naughty little money grabbers have been selling vapes over this threshold *crowd gasps in shock*, including vapes with up to 5% nicotine and over a 2ml tank size.
The most popular unregulated vape doing the rounds in the UK at the minute is the Elux legend 3500 at 2% which is not compliant due to the tank size being over 2ml. Unfortunately, these vapes are in high demand and can be found all over, so we’re going to tell you about some big puff nicotine vapes that are completely compliant and legal for sale, so that you don’t have to purchase from non reputable sources.
ZAP! Instafill, 20mg (2%) Nicotine, 3500 Puffs
This nifty little vape kit is one of the first of it’s kind, with a 10ml e-liquid bottle that you insert into the kit yourself, the device is rechargeable and refillable at the touch of the button. It has a smart vacuum pump that efficiently draws e-liquid from the installed bottle into the 2ml tank, with a window allowing you to see how much liquid is left in the tank and the 10ml bottle. They have a great range of popular flavours and the kit should last you around a week with light to moderate vaping.
You can buy the ZAP! Instafill here, which is currently on a 2 for £22.99 offer, or you can buy one on it’s own for £12.99.
The Snowplus Clic is another genius disposable that’s fully compliant, it comes with a prefilled 2ml tank with 20mg (2%) e-liquid and a 10ml refill pod and can be re charged. This will last you approximately 5000 puffs and you’ll need to re charge this once every day/day and a half. The flavour range is great too, with classics such as blueberry raspberry and pink lemonade.
You can buy the Snowplus Clic here, it’s currently on a 2 for £24.99 offer, or you can buy one on it’s own for £12.99.
This kit is slightly different than the previous 2, because it will arrive without any liquid prefilled. You’ll have to purchase these separately; you can checkout the Elfliqs if you’re after that disposable-like taste. Because it’s refillable, you’re in complete control of the flavours and strengths you use with it and you’re not just limited to 20mg like you are with the Instafill and the Snowplus. It will also last you around 3500 puffs and is fully rechargeable. Once the coil is burnt, you simply dispose of the device.
Have you got commitment issues? Well the IVG is here to fix that for you; it comes with 4 separate 2ml pods integrated into the device, each with a different flavour, and you can switch between them instantly by simply twisting the top of the kit. It’s draw activated, very easy to set up and incredibly convenient with no messy refills, while still allowing you the choice of multiple flavours while you’re on the go! Best of all, the device is only £12.99, meaning if you use 4x 2ml elf bars per week and switched to one of these, you’d save £7.01 straight away and £364.52 over the course of a year!
You can buy the IVG 2400 here, It’s currently on a 2 for £25 offer, or you can buy one on it’s own for £12.99.
SKE Crystal 4 In 1, 20mg (2%) Nicotine, 2400 Puffs
Similarly to the IGV, the Crystal 4 in 1 has 4 x 2ml pods of liquid, each with a different flavour that you can easily switch between with a twist. The device has a mesh coil and is fully rechargeable with 16 different flavours available. The flavours are slightly more creative that your typical disposable, with melon berry, lychee ice, blueberry peach and white peach razz. No messy refills are a huge bonus with kits like this, you don’t need to remember spare liquids or coils when you go out either. Completely hassle free vaping!
Elf have just released their new 5000 puffs device, the Elf Bar AF5000. We reviewed this kit when it came out and can honestly say it’s probably one of the best big puff count vapes on the market at the moment!
Elf Bar AF5000, 20mg (2%) Nicotine, 5000 Puffs
The device comes with an external liquid pod that you fit in the device yourself before vaping (don’t worry it’s very simple and instructions are provided) meaning it falls within the regulations for disposables. The AF5000 is available in 15 classic Elf Bar/Lost Mary flavours such as kiwi passion fruit guava, sour pineapple ice, and blue razz lemonade. The battery life is great, and to refill the kit you just tip it upside down for a few seconds. It’s probably the most user friendly out of all of the big puff devices.
You can buy the AF5000 here for £11.49 or 3 for £30!
And there you have it, all of the leading compliant high puff count disposable vapes on the market at the moment! Now onto some commonly asked questions…
How Can I Tell If A Disposable Vape Is Legal?
To be TPD compliant and legal for sale, the disposable must contain no more than 20mg (2%) nicotine, anything above this is illegal with no exceptions.
If the device has a fixed tank prefilled with nicotine liquid and is advertised as more than 600 puffs, it’s probably not compliant. This is because a 2ml tank can only give around 600 puffs, and anything that’s over a 2ml fixed tank isn’t legal. The above kits are all compliant because they either come with no liquid, or with removeable/refillable pods.
If you’re purchasing your high puff count disposables from a local shop, do they have them on display or do they have to go under the counter or to the back of the shop to get the stock? If its the latter, we can safely assume they’re not supposed to be selling them. Some sellers do keep them on display, so this isn’t a concrete way to identify the legality of the vapes.

Why Does It Matter If The Disposable Is Legal?
You may be thinking ‘what’s the point of buying a legal disposable with 3500 puffs, when it’s going to do the same thing as the illegal 3500 puff devices?’; The key difference here is that the legal vapes are regulated and must be TPD compliant before being sold within the UK. For a disposable to be TPD compliant, it has to have certain safety warnings on the label, be tested for it’s emissions, toxicology and ingredients, and the company selling it must be registered.
You don’t have any of this assurance with an illegal vape – it might not even be made by the brand on the packaging, meaning you can never be sure who has manufactured the vape, how they’ve done it, or what ingredients they’ve used.
Can I Get In Trouble If I Buy An Illegal Disposable Vape?
As it stands, there is no currently legislation that means you can be prosecuted for possessing an illegal vape, as ultimately the responsibility lies with the retailers, but knowing what you know now, would you still want to purchase an unregulated vape?
