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.

U.S. Health Groups Seek to Overturn FDA Enforcement Discretion for Pending PMTAs as Altria's Helix, NJOY and AVM Move to Intervene
American Vapor Manufacturers (AVM) and Altria subsidiaries Helix Innovations and NJOY filed separate motions on October 7, 2026, seeking to intervene on the FDA's side in a lawsuit challenging its enforcement guidance for certain e-cigarette and nicotine pouch products with pending premarket tobacco product applications (PMTAs). Seven public health and tobacco-control organizations, including the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, sued the agency in July to overturn the policy.
