VEEBA Strategy: 30% Cheaper than ELFBAR in UK
Originally priced at £5, Veeba is being sold at discounted prices on many e-commerce platforms, with discounts ranging from 30% to 50%.

On March 6, Philip Morris (PML) introduced its first disposable vape device, Veeba, in the UK, following the withdrawal of ElfBar, UK's top disposable vape brand, after its products were found to contain 50% more nicotine than the regulated maximum. However, according to 2FIRSTS's previous reports, the withdrawal did not affect ELFBAR's popularity but it sold better instead, as consumers thought they can buy products with extra puffs, a vape distributor specialist told 2FIRSTS.

Veeba is now available in the UK with nine flavors with a nicotine strength of 1.8% (20mg/ml). Originally priced at £5, Veeba is being sold at discounted prices on many e-commerce platforms, with discounts ranging from 30% to 50%. In comparison, the price of ELFBAR 600, which also has 600 puffs, remains at around £5 per device, as shown in the graph below.

According to its official website, the VEEBA Recycling Program is designed to reduce waste and promote responsible consumption. Users can get a free returns label from its website, package their used VEEBA devices (at least 4 used devices), and drop them off at their local post office. The Royal Mail portal allows users to register their return and receive an email with their postage label. Users can send back up to 40 used VEEBA devices per returns label at no extra cost.

UK PM Andy Burnham Shifts Business Rates Policy, Supporting Hospitality While Raising Pressure on Vape Shops
UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham’s government is adjusting business rates policy to support hospitality businesses while some other sectors, including vape retailers, face higher operating cost pressures. According to Streamline Feed, AJ Bell and other reports, the policy shift reflects a redistribution of business rate burdens as the government seeks to support sectors facing economic pressure. For UK vape shops, the change comes amid a broader regulatory environment shaped by the disposable vape ban, the upcoming Vaping Products Duty and increased compliance requirements.
