Welcome back to the Electromist blog. If you’ve been following the news, you already know that massive changes are hitting the UK vaping community this month.
With the introduction of the new 2026 UK Vaping Products Duty, the cost of vaping is officially changing across the country. But don't panic just yet—we have some excellent news for our Electromist family.
Here is everything you need to know about the new vape tax and why we are choosing to lock our prices to protect your wallet.
What is the 2026 UK Vaping Duty?
To put it simply, the UK government has introduced a new excise duty (tax) on all vaping liquids. This tax applies to all e-liquids, including nicotine-free shortfills, 10ml e-liquids, pre-filled pods, and especially Nicotine Shots.
Because the tax is calculated based on the volume of the liquid, vapers across the UK are going to see a significant price jump on their everyday vaping essentials.
How Will This Affect Your Vaping Setup?
Whether you are a sub-ohm cloud chaser or a pod kit user, the retail price of e-liquids is going up across the board. For example, the cost of your standard 10ml Nic Shots and daily e-liquids will increase to cover the new government levies.
The Electromist Promise: Our Pre-Tax Price Lock!
We know how frustrating price increases can be. At Electromist, we believe in supporting our community.
That is why we are proud to announce our Pre-Tax Price Lock!
Instead of passing the new tax costs onto you immediately, we have made the decision to freeze our prices on our current inventory. We are holding our pre-tax prices for as long as our current stock lasts. You get the same premium quality vaping gear and e-liquids you love, at the exact same prices you are used to.
What Should You Do Next? (Time to Stock Up!)
Because this Price Lock is strictly limited to our current inventory, once these batches are gone, we will have no choice but to adjust our prices to reflect the new UK Vaping Duty.
