Quitting Disposable Vapes: The Pod System Solution

As vaping gains popularity as an alternative to traditional smoking, more and more vapers are seeking effective ways to quit disposable vapes. If you’re ready to make the switch, consider the convenience and benefits of pod systems. In this blog post, we’ll explore why pod systems are a game-changer for those looking to quit disposables and help reduce the amount of waste in our streets.

1. The Rise of Pod Systems

What Are Pod Systems? Pod systems are compact, user-friendly vaping devices that use refillable or replaceable pods. Unlike disposables, which are single-use and discarded after depletion, pod systems offer a more sustainable and cost-effective solution.

2. The Ease of Using Pod Systems

Simple Setup and Portability

• No Hassle: Pod systems are ready to use out of the box. No need for charging or complex assembly.
• Pocket-Friendly: Their small size and lightweight design make them ideal for on-the-go vaping. Slip one into your pocket or bag, bish bash bosh!

Nicotine Delivery Made Easy

• Nicotine Salts: Pod systems work exceptionally well with nicotine salts. These salts provide a smoother throat hit and faster nicotine absorption, making them an effective choice for those transitioning from cigarettes.

3. Immediate Cost Savings

Disposable vs. Pod System Costs

• Disposable Vapes: While disposables seem affordable upfront, their cumulative cost adds up quickly; you're having to buy one every day or two, where one bottle of liquid can last five days or so with 5 refills in each.
• Pod Systems: Although pod systems have a slightly higher initial cost, they are reusable. Once you invest in a pod system, you only need to replace or refill the pods. This translates to significant savings in the long run and they usually pay for themselves after just a fortnight relative to the cost of disposables.

4. UK-Made E-Liquids: A Cut Above

Quality Standards in the UK Vaping Industry

• Regulations: The UK enforces strict regulations on e-liquid production. Manufacturers must comply with the Tobacco and Related Products Regulations (TRPR), ensuring safety and quality.
• Pharmaceutical Grade Ingredients: UK-made e-liquids use pharmaceutical-grade PG, VG, and nicotine. These pure elements surpass industry standards.

The Tobacco and Related Products Regulations (TRPR) is the legislation that defines the laws regarding tobacco and related products including electronic cigarettes. There are numerous requirements under TRPR that manufacturers/traders must comply in if they are to market their products in the UK. One such requirement is a notification that must be submitted to the MHRA. 

The MHRA notification must include a number of details regarding the product and the entity intending to market said products. Submissions to the MHRA must include but are not limited to the company details, type of product, volume of liquid, ingredients over 0.1%, the carbonyl, metal (device/disposable only) and nicotine emissions. 

Successful notifications are published on the MHRA list of approved products. The list can be found here: Stakeholders can check for published products by using the search functions, and Kwik Vape will only stock fully compliant products for your safety.

Health and Safety

• Consumer Protection: Labelling, packaging, and storage standards protect consumers. Batch numbers ensure product legitimacy on UK-made products.
• Consistency: UK e-liquids maintain flavour profiles and nicotine potency batch after batch.
