The new vaping duty
An important factor for future pricing is the new UK Vaping Products Duty, due to start on 1 October 2026. It applies to vaping liquids at a set rate per millilitre, which adds a small amount of duty to each pod, plus VAT. This is expected to raise vape prices across the board, including for products like the Elf Bar 600, so prices seen today may rise once the duty takes effect.

Thinking about value, not just price
When weighing up cost, it helps to think in terms of value rather than the headline price. Because the modern Elf Bar 600 is rechargeable, you buy the device once and then replace only the prefilled pods, which can work out better value than repeatedly buying single use products. Multipacks and offers can reduce the cost per pod further.
It is also worth factoring in the upcoming vaping duty when planning ahead. From October 2026, the duty adds a small amount per pod, so the overall cost of vaping is likely to rise a little, though for a switching smoker it remains one of the more accessible options.
Price versus value
| Aspect | Point |
|---|---|
| Device | Bought once, rechargeable |
| Pods | Ongoing, sold in packs |
| Multipacks | Lower cost per pod |
| Vaping duty | Adds a little per pod from Oct 2026 |

A few more questions

Planning ahead for the vaping duty
With the new Vaping Products Duty due from 1 October 2026, it is sensible to plan ahead a little. The duty adds a set amount per millilitre of e liquid, which for a small pod is only a modest sum, but it does mean prices are likely to edge up once it takes effect, plus VAT on top. For most people this is a small change rather than a dramatic one.
If budgeting matters, keeping an eye on multipacks, offers and reusing your device all help keep costs down, and for a switching smoker the Elf Bar 600 is likely to remain one of the more affordable ways to move away from cigarettes even after the duty.
Keeping costs down
| Tip | Benefit |

| Reuse the device | Pay for pods, not new kits |
| Buy multipacks | Lower cost per pod |
| Watch for offers | Occasional savings |
| Plan for the duty | From 1 October 2026 |
| Free delivery | On orders over thirty pounds with us |

A quick word on safety and the law
Vaping and nicotine products are intended for adult smokers and existing vapers as a less harmful alternative to cigarettes. They contain nicotine unless stated otherwise, which is addictive, and they are not suitable for non smokers, pregnant women or anyone under 18. By law you must be 18 or over to buy vaping products in the UK, and we age verify every order. If you want to stop using nicotine altogether, your local stop smoking service offers free, tailored support.
UK public health bodies advise that vaping is substantially less harmful than smoking, but it is not risk free, and if you do not smoke the advice is not to start.
