TPD Regulations: What’s going to change?

The TPD Regulations are Government laws aimed at controlling the way in which E-Cigarettes (and E-Liquids) are manufactured and sold. These regulations become fully effective on May 20th 2017, however E-Cigarette companies have up until 20th November 2016 to order in any non-TPD compliant products they wish to sell before 20th May. However, this is at their own risk, as anything non-TPD compliant left over after 20th May will go to waste as it will be illegal to sell.

Here are the regulations for E-Cigarettes and E-Liquids that are coming into place. Anything that does not meet this criteria is deemed non-TPD compliant and is therefore illegal to sell:

-E-Liquid bottles can be no larger than 10ml

-The nicotine concentration (strength) in E-Liquid can be no higher than 20mg. The highest strength we will sell is 18mg just to be safe.

-E-Cigarette Tanks can be no larger than 2ml. This means Sub Ohm tanks will be illegal to sell, along with larger standard tanks such as the Aspire Nautilus. We will be selling extender kits for some products to increase the capacity.

Just to be clear, these rules do not come into action until May 20th 2017, so nothing will change until then; you will still be able to buy E-Liquid in 30ml bottles, E-Liquid with strengths higher than 20mg, and tanks with capacities over 2ml. The November 20th deadline is just for us as a company to order stock (non-TPD compliant) that we think we can sell before May 20th 2017. Please bare in mind that just because we can still sell non-TPD compliant products up until 20th May 2017, it doesn’t mean we will have everything you need in stock; due to people stocking up on non-TPD compliant products, there’s a high chance we could run out quickly, so get what you need while you still can!

We appreciate this is all probably a bit confusing as to what you will and won’t be able to purchase once TPD takes effect, so here’s a table to summarise exactly what will happen to the products we sell, and some alternatives that will hopefully be coming into place.
