Important Update
Disposable Vapes Are Now Banned in the UK | Here’s What to Do Next
If you’ve found this page looking for disposable vapes, there’s something important you need to know. Since 1 June 2025, it is illegal to sell or supply single-use disposable vapes anywhere in the UK, including online, under legislation passed in October 2024. This covers all disposables regardless of nicotine content.
As a result the Bear Aspire R1 disposable vape is no longer available for sale. The good news is that there are a great selection of disposable vape alternatives that give you the same flavours and convenience as a disposable, but have replaceable pods and can be recharged, making them fully legally compliant.
Why the ban happened
~5 million disposables were being discarded every week in the UK
Lithium batteries posed fire risks at waste facilities
Disposables were the most popular vape type among underage users
What’s still legal & available
Prefilled pod kits: closest to the disposable experience
Refillable pod systems: more flavour choice, lower cost
Starter kits: ideal if you’re new to reusable devices
The Aspire R1 is a rechargeable disposable vape which has been out for some time now. It is a device which needs refilling with your own e-liquid however, Bear Salts and Aspire have come together to give you a 10ml Nic Salt to use with the device!
The device itself is small and lightweight which is ideal for on-the-go vaping. Unlike all other disposables, this one can be charged multiple times and allows for around 3500 puffs per device. It is a cheaper and more environmentally friendly way of using disposable vapes so fair play to Aspire!
A mighty built-in 650mAh battery powers the device and can be recharged via USB-C when the battery is dead. Charging won’t take long so don’t worry, downtime is minimal. Firing at a constant wattage, the device will always provide a consistent vaping experience without fail. A buttonless design means all you have to do is take the R1 out of your pocket and vape whenever you feel like it.
