Hey guys hope you are all good.
I was asked about the limits (TPD) in the UK when it comes to tank size and juice limits, here is a bit of info hope it helps.
One of the pivotal stipulations of the TPD is the restriction on vape tank size. The directive restricts vape tank, pod, and cartridge capacity to no more than 2ml.
This regulation was implemented to ensure that electronic cigarettes and related products are used responsibly and that consumers are protected from excessive nicotine intake.
Despite the perceived limitations of this regulation, recalling its purpose is crucial. The reduction in tank size by the TPD aims to protect consumers, especially those new to vaping, from possible nicotine overexposure.
This restriction, however, has stimulated inventive adaptations among vaping enthusiasts to accommodate these new rules.
E-Liquid Bottle Size Limitations
The updated TPD also imposed restrictions on the sizes of nicotine-containing E-Liquid bottles. Under these new regulations, E-Liquids containing nicotine must be sold in volumes of 10ml or less.
This means that, following the implementation of the TRPR regulations, individual E-Liquid bottles containing nicotine of 10ml will only be available in 10ml bottles.
These restrictions were designed to cover nicotine containing products and reduce the potential harm caused by accidental ingestion or skin exposure to nicotine, including nicotine containing E-Liquid.
However, they have also led to changes in how E-Liquids are packaged and sold, with manufacturers introducing ‘short fills’ that allow vapers to buy nicotine-free liquids in bulk and add their own nicotine.
Maximum Nicotine Strength
Nicotine strength is another critical aspect regulated under the TPD. The directive stipulates that E-Liquids cannot contain more than 20mg/ml of nicotine. This regulation ensures a regulated upper limit for nicotine content in vaping products, protecting consumers from potential nicotine overexposure.
Although this rule may seem inhibiting, especially for heavy smokers transitioning to vaping, it is vital to bear in mind the motive behind it. The TPD’s establishment of a maximum nicotine strength is intended to curb nicotine addiction and encourage safer vaping habits.
