Crystal Bar After the UK Disposable Vape Ban 2025: What Changed?

What Did the UK Disposable Vape Ban Actually Ban?

The UK disposable vape ban, which came into force on 1 June 2025, prohibited the sale of single-use disposable vapes under the Environmental Protection (Single-use Vapes) (England) Regulations 2024. This means the original single-use Crystal Bar, Elf Bar, Lost Mary and similar devices can no longer be legally sold in the UK.

Why Crystal Bar Rechargeable Kits Are Legal

The ban specifically targets vapes that cannot be refilled or recharged. Rechargeable pod kits are completely unaffected and remain fully legal under the Tobacco and Related Products Regulations 2016 (TRPR). SKE Crystal Bar responded swiftly with a full range of rechargeable pod kits that use the same flavour formulations as the original disposables.

Same Flavours Different Format

The SKE Crystal Bar kit range — including the CL2000, CL6000, Pro 600, Crystal Bar Kit, and Crystal Plus — all use prefilled pods in the same 40+ flavours that made the original Crystal Bar famous. Watermelon Ice, Blue Razz Lemonade, Strawberry Burst, Pink Lemonade, Cherry Ice — all available in rechargeable format.

Is Crystal Bar MHRA-Notified?

All SKE Crystal Bar products sold on Crystal Bar UK are notified to the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) as required under TRPR 2016. Each product meets the UK legal maximum of 20mg/ml nicotine and 2ml pod capacity.
