In this blog we’ll take a look at bar salts, explaining what they are and why you might like to check them out, especially in light of the upcoming UK disposables ban. Let’s explore what bar salts are and why they might be the perfect upgrade for you.
What are bar salts?
Bar salts are an alternative way to get the same delicious flavours normally associated with disposable vapes, but in reusable vapes. They are essentially just nic salts with more flavour. The word ‘bar’ is just another word for vape or pod. Bar salts offer a practical and eco-friendly alternative to disposables with the same bold flavours and satisfying experience vapers love. With the upcoming UK disposable vape ban confirmed for 1st June 2025, now is the perfect time to switch to a more sustainable vaping method like bar salts.
Where do bar salts come from?
Bar salts like the delicious Blueberry Sour Raspberry 10ml nic salt by Elf Bar are a relatively new category in the vaping world, designed to replicate the intense flavour profiles and smooth experience offered by disposable vape bars. Unlike standard e-liquids, bar salts focus on delivering the same satisfying hit as disposables while being compatible with refillable pod systems. This innovation allows vapers to enjoy their favourite flavours without having to rely on single-use disposables.
Each 10ml bottle of bar salts provides the equivalent of around five disposable vapes, making them a much more cost-effective and sustainable option. Beyond the financial savings, bar salts also come in a wider range of nicotine strengths to support a smoother transition from smoking to vaping.
What sets bar salts apart?
While bar salts and nicotine salts share a similar composition, bar salts stand out because they are specifically formulated to replicate the intense flavours found in disposable vapes. By using hybrid nicotine salts and enhanced flavourings, bar salts deliver a noticeable taste sensation that goes beyond what traditional 50/50 e-liquids offer. This ensures that vapers switching from disposables to refillable devices won’t feel they’re missing out.
Key differences include:
- Flavour intensity: Bar salts replicate the bold, familiar flavours of disposable vapes.
- Device compatibility: Designed for refillable pod systems, bar salts make sustainable vaping easier.
- Sustainability: Refillable pods and bottles significantly reduce plastic waste.
- Cost savings: A single bottle of bar salts costs far less than repeatedly buying disposables.
Why should you switch to bar salts?
The main issue is that disposable vapes will soon stop being sold due to concerns about their environmental impact. If you’re comparing bar salts to using disposable vapes the three key issues are:
- Environmental concerns: Over 5 million disposable vapes are discarded weekly in the UK alone, creating significant plastic and electronic waste.
- Legislation changes: The upcoming ban on disposables is intended to reduce waste and curb youth vaping.
- Cost inefficiency: Regularly purchasing disposables can quickly become expensive.
Bar salts address these issues by offering the same great taste and convenience as disposables but in a more sustainable and economical form. A refillable pod system paired with bar salts can replace at least 7.5 disposable vapes before recycling is necessary. Plus, refillable pods can be refilled a number of times, further boosting their eco-friendly credentials.
Are bar salts right for you?
Switching to bar salts offers multiple benefits:
- Sustainability: Reduce waste and your environmental footprint.
- Cost-effectiveness: Save money with a reusable pod system.
- Familiar flavours: Enjoy the bold, flavour-packed experience you’re used to with disposables.
- Future-proofing: Stay ahead of legislative changes by adopting refillable systems.
Thanks to innovations like bar salts, it’s easier than ever to transition from disposable vapes without sacrificing satisfaction.
