Fumot.uk – Vaping FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
1. What types of products does Fumot.uk sell?
We offer a wide range of compliant vaping products, including:
- Rechargeable pod systems (e.g., Fumot, Vozol, WASPE, and other popular brands)
- Refillable vape kits
- E-liquids (Nic Salts, Freebase, Shortfills)
- Accessories (coils, pods, chargers, batteries, etc.)
- Rechargeable, refillable, or high-capacity devices that meet UK regulations
We stock our own Fumot brand as well as trusted third-party brands, all 100% TPD-compliant. Single-use disposable vapes are no longer sold due to the UK ban.
2. What age do I need to be to purchase from Fumot.uk?
You must be 18 or older. We strictly enforce age verification (Age Verification) on all orders, which may require ID or credit card checks. Selling to under-18s is illegal.
3. What is the TPD regulation, and do all your products comply?
The TPD (Tobacco Products Directive) is the UK/EU vaping law. Key rules include:
- E-liquid bottles ≤10ml (except Shortfills)
- Maximum nicotine strength 20mg/ml
- No single-use disposables (banned since June 1, 2025)
Yes — every product on fumot.uk fully complies with current UK TPD rules and has been tested.
4. Are disposable vapes still available to buy?
No. Since June 1, 2025, it has been illegal to sell or supply single-use disposable vapes in the UK (including nicotine-free versions). This ban applies to online and in-store sales.
We now focus on better alternatives: rechargeable pod kits, refillable devices, and large-capacity rechargeable options that are eco-friendly, cost-effective, and fully legal.
5. How do I choose the right nicotine strength?
- 20mg/ml (2%) Nic Salt — Strongest, fast satisfaction, ideal for heavy smokers switching.
- 10mg/ml or 5mg/ml — Medium, good for lighter use.
- 0mg/ml — No nicotine, for flavor only or those who have quit nicotine.
Start higher if you’re coming from cigarettes, then reduce over time.
6. How long does a device or e-liquid last?
It varies by usage:
- Pod kit batteries: 400–1500mAh → lasts a day to several days.
- 10ml e-liquid bottle: ≈2,000–5,000 puffs (depending on device power and puff style).
- Rechargeable high-capacity devices: Up to 5,000–10,000+ puffs with multiple recharges.
Check individual product specs for estimates.
7. What if my device isn’t working, has no flavor, or is leaking?
Quick troubleshooting:
- No power → Charge it or replace the battery/pod.
- No flavor/burnt taste → Coil/pod is used up; replace it.
- Leaking → Check seals, avoid extreme temperatures, don’t store upside down.
- Safety mode triggered → Stop puffing for 5–10 minutes.
If the issue persists, send photos/videos to [email protected] — we’ll respond within 48 hours.
8. How should I dispose of used vape devices and batteries?
Devices contain lithium batteries — never throw them in regular trash.
Take them to:
- Local household recycling centers
- Supermarket battery recycling points
- WEEE collection points
Empty e-liquid bottles can be recycled as plastic/glass.
9. Can I take vaping products on a plane?
Yes, but only in carry-on luggage (not checked baggage).
- Lithium batteries must be ≤100Wh (all our products comply).
- Liquids in containers ≤100ml each, total ≤1L (in a clear bag).
Always check your airline and destination country’s rules, as some are stricter.
