What Survived the UK Disposable Vape Ban?

When the UK’s disposable vape ban came into force, many thought it was the end of easy, grab-and-go vaping.

But not for long.

Big bars have made a bold return—smarter, stronger, and fully legal. These aren’t your average puff bars. They’ve evolved. Devices like AYCE X, Juicy Pod NovaMax, and AYCE Bar 3000 survived the ban because they’re refillable, rechargeable, and built to last.

Let’s explore why these legends are still on the shelves—and why they’re better than ever.

What Was Banned—and What Wasn’t?

The government crackdown targeted single-use disposable vapes, the goal? Reduce environmental waste and limit underage access.

But devices that are refillable or rechargeable? Still fully legal—and in huge demand.

That’s where these new-generation big bars come in.

🔥 AYCE X – Big Bar Performance, Compact Style

The AYCE X delivers everything you loved about disposables—but with more value and control.

Thanks to its refillable pods and rechargeable battery, it sailed through the ban untouched.

Why It Survived:

• Fully refillable pod system—legal and long-lasting.

• Rechargeable via USB-C, saving you money over time.

• Ultra-smooth mouth-to-lung hit, just like classic disposables.

• Slick, pocket-sized design for all-day convenience.

Pair it with any Ultimate Juice e-liquid and enjoy your favourite flavours without restrictions.
