As disposables get phased out, bar salt e-liquids have taken their place—offering the same great taste with less waste and more savings. Here's our pick of the top bar salts of 2025, helping you transition seamlessly from single-use devices to more sustainable and cost-effective vaping.
What Are Bar Salt E-Liquids?
Bar salts are specialized nicotine salt e-liquids designed to replicate the exact flavour profiles, throat hit, and satisfaction of popular disposable vapes. Since the UK's June 2025 ban on single-use vapes, these formulations have become the go-to solution for disposable fans looking to maintain their vaping experience while switching to refillable devices.
The key advantages include:
- Perfect flavour match to your favourite disposables
- Optimized 50/50 VG/PG ratio for pod systems
- Available in 10ml bottles with 10mg or 20mg nicotine strengths
- Specifically formulated for smoother throat hit in refillable devices
