If you want to know the best place to buy bulk disposable vapes, then Shenzhen is undoubtedly the answer. Shenzhen's vaping industry is responsible for designing and manufacturing about 90% of the world's vaping devices and has around 1,000 disposable vape factories. Data from the disposablevape1688 Website indicates that Chinese brands have made breakthrough progress in marketing in the UK's disposable vape wholesale business. In 2023, the value and sales of this category doubled, with sales exceeding 15.5 billion units.
However, regrettably, in 2024, one of the largest export markets for Shenzhen's disposable vape wholesale business, the UK, banned the sale of disposable vapes. This ban may be a response to the youth vaping government consultation initiated in the UK last October. Peter Zhuang, the global communications director for Vape Central Wholesale on the disposablevape1688 website, said, "We are certainly concerned, but Chinese brands are actually taking some measures." These measures include improving the environmental design of disposable vapes. At the same time, the UK government has introduced a recycling program for waste devices, imposed penalties on retailers selling products to children, and changed flavor names to more acceptable, bland styles.
In the UK, these actions indicate that the ban on disposable vapes wholesale may be effective in the new environment. However, people hope that the UK can use a set of "reasonable recommendations" to prove to the world that it has solved, or at least can solve, the problem without the need for further major action.
For China's major disposable vape brands, they have reasons to feel reassured because the quality of their products is guaranteed. But why did the UK government suddenly take a tough stance on disposable vapes this time? Peter, the head of the UK's largest vape central wholesale online distributor, responsible for Elux Legend Wholesale and Air Bar Wholesale, revealed that the reason might be the industry's non-compliance issues exposed in February. At that time, disposable vapes sold in supermarkets had liquid nicotine content exceeding the legal limit by 50%, but there were no fines or ban threats, and the products were back on shelves a few weeks later. This situation has raised concerns about the industry's regulation, with many in the UK believing this is due to insufficient punitive measures.
Additionally, last August, UK laboratories tested other popular disposable vapes in vape central wholesale activities. The results showed that the nicotine liquid in these devices far exceeded the legal limit of 2 milliliters. Surprisingly, the authorities did not take any punitive action against these brands, despite them gaining an unfair advantage in winning loyal customers.
Thus, in the face of this government ban, whether the giants of China's disposable vape industry and their disposable vape wholesalers can successfully transition to types of vaping devices allowed for sale and revive their business after the ban remains to be seen. We will watch closely to see if they can continue to shine, rather than being quickly discarded into the gutter.
