Straight answer first: single-use disposable vapes have been illegal to sell anywhere in the UK since 1 June 2025, and any wholesaler still offering them is offering stock you cannot legally put on a shelf. What the trade sells now is the same brands in rechargeable form, prefilled pod kits that look, draw and price like the old bars did.
For retailers the swap has been kinder than the headlines suggested. Elf Bar 600 Pro, SKE Bar 600 and the big-puff kits from Lost Mary and Hayati took the fixture space the bars left behind, and customers followed the brand names across. The margin story arguably improved: refill pods bring the same customer back to your counter week after week.
Everything below ships in trade boxes, tens on the 600-class kits and fives on the big-puff devices, with the flavour spread the disposable era was known for.

Every disposable slot on a 2024 fixture has a legal 2026 successor, usually from the same brand. The entry price point belongs to the 600-puff class in prefilled pod kits, where the Elf Bar 600 Pro and SKE Bar 600 hold the old bar money. The volume end has moved to big puff vapes, with kits like the Hayati Pro+ 25K carrying four-figure puff counts on 2ml pods refilled from sealed containers, which is the construction that keeps them legal.
The trade difference is the reorder: a bar sold once, a pod system sells its refills weekly, and the counter that placed the kit collects that annuity.
Brand landings carry the detail range by range: Elf Bar wholesale and Lost Mary wholesale for the two names customers still say first, and Hayati wholesale for the big-puff specialist. Boxes run tens on the 600 class and fives on big-puff kits, at flat trade prices with no minimum order, so a post-ban fixture can be rebuilt one box at a time rather than on faith.
