Press Release MILTON KEYNES, 7 August 2026. With the major parties boycotting the Clacton by-election and a man wearing a bin polling second, British e-liquid manufacturer Riot Labs has announced its own entry into the strangest race in politics: Riot Man, a caped satirical candidate running on a platform of ending smoking, letting flavours keep their names and trying chip-stealing seagulls as adults.

We’ve got something really special to dive into in this review, with the ePuffer Robusto Rechargeable eCigar! ePuffer are a global brand that has headquarters in the UK, and have been around pretty much since vaping first came to these shores! They have a wide portfolio of different products, from refillable pod systems through to e-pipes, e-cigs and their own ranges of e-liquid, which have picked up multiple industry awards.

In this review we will take a look at the latest refillable pod system from ElfBar, the ElfBar ELFX 2!

Press Release Major studies and We Vape polling show fruit and dessert flavours are critical tools for adult smokers who successfully quit Final call for vapers to have their say Government plans to force vapes into plain packaging and heavily restrict flavour names will drive people back to smoking and undermine harm reduction, campaigners have warned.

More than half of Britain’s smokers now believe vaping is as harmful as smoking — or even more harmful. Read that again. Fresh figures from Action on Smoking and Health show that 52% of current smokers now have the relative risk completely wrong. Among smokers who have never tried vaping, the figure rises to an astonishing 61%. And it does not end there. Almost two-thirds — 62% — of young people aged 11 to 17 believe vaping is equally or more harmful than smoking.

More than 1.2 million illegal vapes were seized across the UK during 2025. On the face of it, that sounds like a result. Products taken off shelves, dodgy traders disrupted and Trading Standards doing exactly what we need them to do. Unfortunately, the figures tell a rather less encouraging story. Despite the enormous number of illegal products being confiscated, Trading Standards carried out fewer inspections in 2025 than it did the year before.

White boxes. No bright colours. No cartoon graphics. No names such as “Unicorn Dream” or “Mint Blast”. If the government’s latest proposals become law, that could be the future of vape packaging and device design in the UK. On 10 July 2026, the UK government and the devolved governments in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland launched a formal 12-week consultation covering the packaging, appearance and retail display of tobacco, vaping and nicotine products.

Eleaf iStick X40 + GTL X Tank Preview — Swappable Battery, MTL Done Properly Most MTL kit makers seem to have agreed on built-in batteries. Eleaf haven’t got that memo — and for a lot of vapers, that’s going to be exactly the right call. The iStick X40 is the newest entry in Eleaf’s iStick Series, and it ships with the brand’s upgraded GTL X Tank. The headline feature is a removable 3000mAh battery — the kind you can swap out mid-day rather than hunting for a USB port.

Innokin have quietly dropped one of the more interesting pod mod upgrades of 2026. The Gozee Nex takes the much-liked original Gozee platform and addresses two of its most obvious limitations: battery life and build quality. The original Gozee ran on a 2100mAh battery and a lightweight plastic body — fine for casual use but not exactly tank-like in durability. The Nex fixes both in one go.
