What Does TPD Compliant Mean for Vapes? UK Guide 2025
✅ What Does TPD Compliant Mean for Vapes in the UK?
What Is TPD?
TPD stands for Tobacco Products Directive. It’s a law in the UK and Europe that sets rules for how vapes and e-liquids are sold.
It was made to keep vaping safe, limit nicotine strength, and make sure products are tested before hitting the market.
If a vape is “TPD compliant”, it means it follows all the rules and is legal to buy in the UK.
The Main TPD Rules for Vapes
Here’s what the TPD rules say for vaping products in the UK:
-
Nicotine strength
Max 20mg/ml (2%) -
E-liquid bottles
Max 10ml if they contain nicotine -
Pod and tank size
Max 2ml of liquid per pod or tank -
Packaging
Must include health warnings and ingredient list -
Testing
Products must be tested and notified before being sold
If a product doesn’t meet these, it can’t legally be sold in the UK.
Why TPD Matters for You
Buying TPD compliant vapes means:
-
You know the nicotine strength is safe
-
The pods won’t be oversized or unregulated
-
The ingredients are checked
-
You’re not buying a fake or unsafe device
This is especially important after the disposable vape ban. Only TPD-compliant kits like prefilled pods and refillable pod kits will remain legal.
Which Vapes Are TPD Compliant?
All the kits and pods we stock at Shop Disposables are 100% TPD compliant.
This includes:
Each pod has 2ml of e-liquid max, uses 20mg nic salts, and comes with the correct safety labelling.
Real-World Example
If you buy a 10ml bottle of Bar Juice Nic Salts, you’ll notice the warning label and exact nicotine strength listed on the box. That’s part of TPD rules.
Or, when you pick up a Gold Bar XL Pod, you’ll see it has a 2ml fill limit — again, that’s because of TPD compliance.
How to Check If Your Vape Is TPD Compliant
-
Look for nicotine strength on the packaging
-
Check the pod size (shouldn’t be bigger than 2ml)
-
Make sure the shop is UK-registered and trusted
-
Avoid buying from unverified sellers online
