Alright, UK vapers – the disposable ban is coming, and whether you’re ready or not, it’s time to talk about open-system vaping . I know, I know… it sounds complicated compared to grab-and-go disposables. But trust me, once you get the hang of it, you’ll never look back. Let’s break it down so you can transition smoothly and save cash while you’re at it.
Why Open Systems?
- Cheaper long-term – No more £5/day disposables. A £10 bottle of juice lasts way longer.
- More flavor control – You pick your juice, nicotine strength, and device settings.
- Less waste – Goodbye, guilt over tossing plastic every other day.

E-Liquid Tips
- Nicotine Salt (20mg-50mg) – Best for ex-disposable users (smooth throat hit).
- 50/50 PG/VG Ratio – Works perfectly in pod systems (good wicking, no leaks).
- Flavor Profiles? Stick to what you liked in disposables (fruit, ice, dessert).
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Overfilling pods – Leave a tiny air gap to prevent leaks.
Using the wrong juice – High VG (70/30) can clog small pods.
Chain-vaping like a disposable – Give your coil a few seconds between puffs.
Pro Tip
Start with a simple refillable pod device before diving into big mods. It’s the easiest way to adjust without frustration.
