Understandably, compared to authentic vape devices, replica vape products provide an unsatisfactory vaping experience, which can lead to taking up smoking again. All vape products must be registered and approved on the MHRA website, and must contain nicotine warnings on the product packaging. In line with TPD/TRPR regulations, it is illegal for UK vape stores to sell vape products above an e-liquid capacity of 2ml and a nicotine strength of 20mg. A fake, low-quality vape device can present a multitude of issues for the user, including restricted controls and faulty safety protections which can cause fires. Not only is this unlawful, but it can also be potentially dangerous for the buyer. Inevitably, as more vape brands have emerged and technology has continued to improve, fraudulent businesses have seized this opportunity to replicate and sell counterfeit vape goods.
