Disposable Alternatives – What Are They?

Since the disposable ban in June 2025, there has been a rising need for viable alternatives. Aimed at providing you with the same convenient, easy to use devices and great tasting flavours, these alternatives satisfy the gap in the market left by disposables.

Working in almost the same way as disposables did, the main difference is that you can recharge and reuse the battery. There are different types available which include prefilled pods, big puff vapes and refillable options.

In short, these products are a legal alternative to single use disposables, and in many ways offer a better experience and value for money. They are almost identical to the taste and feel you know and love, plus they can still be bought despite the ban on disposables.

What Disposable Alternatives Can I Choose From?

Plenty! There are several different alternatives you can choose from:

Big Puff Vapes

As the name suggests, these alternatives are all about giving you the maximum number of puffs possible. Most commonly available in 10,000, 15,000 and 30,000 puffs, these kits use prefilled pods that can be clicked together, usually in a 2ml + 10ml format. The flavours are just as good as disposables were and are great for everyday use.

Once the prefilled pod is empty, you can purchase replacements, and even benefit from multi-buy savings. Remember to keep hold of your battery and recharge it for use with your next set of pods!

Prefilled Pod Kits

These kits are the most similar to disposable vapes. Featuring a compact battery and 2ml pods, prefilled pod kits usually offer up to 600 puffs. The only difference between these and actual disposables is the removable pod and rechargeable battery. If you want to get the most authentic disposable-style experience, these would be your best choice.

Refillable Pod Kits

Without doubt the best value way to vape. These kits come with refillable pods that you can top up using a vape juice of your choice. Because you can refill the pod multiple times before replacing it, and because you can grab vape juice in our great value multi-buy deals, you’ll save even more money and be able to try any flavour you want.

Why Choose Reusable Vape Alternatives?

To begin with, reusable and rechargeable devices are far better for the environment than disposables were. They also offer way more value for money as well. Plus, they are the closest thing to a disposable vape you are likely to find.

Environmental Impact

In the UK alone, roughly 260 million disposables were discarded between 2024-2025. The lithium waste generated by these disposables was up to 40 tonnes: that’s equivalent to 5,000 electric vehicles annually!

It goes without saying that this created a serious problem that needed to be addressed. Disposable alternatives have eliminated this problem by allowing you to recharge the battery, drastically reducing waste output.

Better Value For You

On the surface, it might seem as though disposables are the cheaper option, but they aren’t. At £4.99 each, these last most people a day before needing to be thrown away: that’s almost £35 a week. Our alternatives are vastly cheaper as you only need to replace the prefilled pods. A pack of 2 is usually £4.99 which is equivalent to 2 disposables. You can also purchase e-liquid to refill kits that come with refillable pods.

You can save even more with our multi-buy deals across prefilled pods and vape juice. No matter which way you put it, you’ll be saving at least 50% by switching to a disposable alternative.

Want to find out how much you can save? We’ve broken it down for you below:

Kit Type Monthly Cost (Approx) Yearly Cost (Approx) Saving (Monthly) Saving (Yearly)
         
Disposable Kit £106.40 (1 per day) £1,276.80 £0 £0
         
Prefilled Kit £60 (1 pod per day, 15 x 2 packs) £720 £46.40 £556.80
         
Refillable Kit £28.47 (8 x 10ml, 1 x 2 pack pods) £341.64 £77.93 £935.16

Just Like A Disposable

One of the great things about these alternatives is they are just like a disposable. If you choose a prefilled kit like the Hayati Pro Max Plus, Lost Mary BM6000 or the Titan X, you get the same easy to use device. The main difference is you do not throw away the battery and can reuse it again and again. Simply replace the pods once empty and you’re ready to vape again. You can even choose from the same great flavours you enjoyed before; there is no compromise needed!

Refillable kits are slightly different as they need to be used with a bottle of vape juice. Don’t worry though, they are just as easy to use and will save you even more money. All you have to do is fill the empty pod with liquid, and keep doing this until the pod needs to be replaced. You can get up to 2 weeks per pod, so the savings really do make a difference.

Disposable Alternative FAQs

Are Disposable Vapes Banned in the UK?

Yes, as of the 1st of June 2025, single use disposable vapes were banned in the UK. For more information on the latest regulations, read our article on the best disposable alternatives.

Why Were Disposable Vapes Banned?

The main reason is because of the large amount of battery waste generated. Many people did not recycle disposables properly, so they ended up negatively impacting the environment. The UK government was also concerned that disposables would continue to lead an increase in youth vaping.

What’s The Difference Between Alternatives and Disposables?

The main difference is alternatives are reusable, whereas disposables are single use. The cost is also a massive factor, with reusable vapes being significantly cheaper in the long term. Unlike disposables, you can choose either a prefilled or refillable pod device, giving you more options than ever to find a kit that suits you.

Are Reuseable Vapes Cheaper Than Disposables?

Yes they are. You will save at least 50% switching to a reuseable vape vs disposables. This is because you only need to replace the prefilled pods or purchase e-liquid bottles/empty pods with refillable kits. The battery is recharged and does not need throwing away which reduces waste and saves you money.

What Disposable Alternative Lasts The Longest?

Big puff vapes usually last the longest. They often come with a 2ml pod + 10ml refill, lasting up to 10,000 puffs and more. If longevity is key, then these kits are the best choice for you. Some examples include the Hayati Pro Max Plus and Lost Mary BM6000.

Are Disposable Alternatives Good For Beginners?

Absolutely! They are an ideal first step into vaping for many people, and one of most popular type of vapes available. If you’re new to e cigs and don’t really know where to start, you can’t go wrong with these easy to use kits.

Should I Choose A Refillable Or Prefilled Kit?

That depends on what you value most. You can choose between two main types:

Prefilled Pods are most similar to disposable vapes. They come filled with e liquid and have the same great flavours you know and love.

Refillable kits come with an empty pod that you refill using a bottle of vape juice. This is the cheapest option, but also offers you the greatest selection of flavours, as you can pair any liquid you like with it.

What Do I Need To Replace On Disposable Alternatives?

All you need to replace are the pods and e liquid. Prefilled kits come with liquid inside, so you should try to keep a new one handy to swap over an empty pod. Refillable kits use empty pods, so you’ll need to have some new empty pods and bottles of liquid spare to avoid running out.

Is There An Alternative For Elf Bar 600?

Yes, in fact there are more than one! The like for like replacement is the Elf Bar 600 Prefilled device, but you can also choose something like the ELFA Pro which looks very similar. You can also choose refillable pods and pair with a vape juice of your choice.

Is There An Alternative For Lost Mary BM6000?

Yes, you can grab yourself the BM6000 prefilled kit, which is a like for like replacement. The rechargeable and reuseable device has large selection of 2ml + 10ml pods that are available in the same great tastes found in the disposable version.

Is There An Alternative For Titan 10K?

Absolutely, it's called the Titan X. This kit uses the same prefilled pod capsules, except these are larger 5ml pods instead of the 2ml found in the original. Best of all, you can replace the pod once the coil burns out, and purchase any flavour you want to try.

Is There An Alternative For Hayati?

Yes, Hayati has become hugely popular in recent times. The Hayati Pro Max Plus is an ideal disposable alternative, and comes with a 2ml + 10ml set up. There are loads of flavours you can try, and the battery is rechargeable and reuseable. This is one of the most sought after vapes you can buy currently, and is available at a great value price.
