UK Vape Tax 2026: Important Price Changes

Important Update: UK Vape Tax Changes Coming in 2026

What You Need to Know

At Galax-E-Juice, transparency matters. The UK vaping landscape is changing significantly, and we want to ensure you're fully informed about what's ahead.

The Tobacco & Vapes Bill is progressing through Parliament and is expected to become law within the next year. While disposables have already been phased out, the upcoming legislation will bring substantial changes that affect all vapers—including those who choose premium liquids and DIY mixing.

What's Coming

Based on current government proposals, we're expecting:

  • Significant taxation on all e-liquids – both nicotine-containing and nicotine-free products will be affected
  • Potential flavour restrictions – beyond disposables, affecting the variety available to all vapers
  • Standardised packaging requirements – likely impacting product presentation across the industry
  • Price increases across the board – driven by the new tax structure

The Price Impact

Under current proposals, the tax will add approximately:

  • £2.20 per 10ml nicotine shot
  • £22.00 per 100ml short fill

This means a standard 100ml short fill could retail for over £30 once the legislation takes effect—potentially as soon as next year's Black Friday.

What This Means for You

We're currently in a brief window before these changes take effect. If you're a regular vaper, DIY mixer, or flavour enthusiast, now is the time to consider stocking up on:

  • Short fills at current pricing
  • Flavour concentrates in your preferred profiles
  • Nicotine shots in bulk
  • Hardware, coils, and accessories

Once the Bill becomes law, these products may be significantly more expensive, restricted, or reformulated.

Our Commitment

Galax-E-Juice will continue to provide premium UK-made concentrates and ready-to-vape liquids throughout these changes. We're monitoring the legislation closely and will keep you updated as details emerge.

We're here to support you through this transition—but we can't shield you from the regulatory impact once it arrives.

Take Action Now

This isn't about creating urgency—it's about being prepared. Stock up on your favourites while current pricing and availability remain. What's accessible and affordable today may look very different in 2026.

We'll keep you informed every step of the way.
