Recently, 2FIRSTS observed that in the UK e-cigarette market, disposable e-cigarette products with a "2ml+10ml" configuration are becoming a new trend. These products typically consist of a pre-filled 2ml pod with a replaceable 10ml e-liquid reservoir.

 

The Tobacco and Related Products Regulations 2016 in the UK states that single-use pods, pods or tanks shall have a capacity not exceeding 2 millilitres, and refill containers containing nicotine liquid shall have a volume not exceeding 10 millilitres.

 

Currently, in the UK, a large number of disposable e-cigarette products are being launched, all operating under this regulation to exercise "creativity" and achieve a balance between "compliance" and high production volume in order to gain approval from government authorities.

 

Below is a compilation of "2ml+10ml" disposable e-cigarette products and basic information from various major e-cigarette websites in the UK, sorted by product release date.
