Recently, 2FIRSTS observed that in the UK e-cigarette market, disposable e-cigarette products with a "2ml+10ml" configuration are becoming a new trend. These products typically consist of a pre-filled 2ml pod with a replaceable 10ml e-liquid reservoir.

 

The Tobacco and Related Products Regulations 2016 in the UK states that single-use pods, pods or tanks shall have a capacity not exceeding 2 millilitres, and refill containers containing nicotine liquid shall have a volume not exceeding 10 millilitres.

 

Currently, in the UK, a large number of disposable e-cigarette products are being launched, all operating under this regulation to exercise "creativity" and achieve a balance between "compliance" and high production volume in order to gain approval from government authorities.

 

Below is a compilation of "2ml+10ml" disposable e-cigarette products and basic information from various major e-cigarette websites in the UK, sorted by product release date.

PMI Launches Fourth IQOS Convenience-Store Discount of 2026 for Black Friday in Japan, Cutting ILUMA i ONE to About $19 After Ploom AURA Fell to About $9
PMI Launches Fourth IQOS Convenience-Store Discount of 2026 for Black Friday in Japan, Cutting ILUMA i ONE to About $19 After Ploom AURA Fell to About $9
Philip Morris Japan launched its fourth confirmed nationwide convenience-store discount campaign for IQOS ILUMA i devices in 2026 on October 26, cutting three models by as much as ¥2,000, or about $12.70. The campaign began one day after JT ended a promotion that reduced Ploom AURA to ¥1,480, or about $9.40. JT says Ploom's share of Japan's heated-products category rose from 10.9% in January 2024 to 18.3% in June 2026, a gain of 7.4 percentage points, while PMI says IQOS still held about 68% category share in the third quarter. At the same time, Japan's two-stage heated-tobacco tax adjustment has pushed stick prices higher, leaving device discounts as an increasingly important tool for lowering the upfront cost of customer acquisition.

Canada Health Minister Says She Is Not Considering Looser Nicotine Pouch Retail Rules as PMI-Linked Group Pushes for Wider Access
Canadian Health Minister Marjorie Michel says she is not considering loosening retail restrictions on nicotine pouches. Canada regulates pouches containing 4 mg or less of nicotine per unit as non-prescription nicotine replacement therapy and requires newer NRT formats such as pouches to be sold from behind pharmacy counters. Meanwhile, Unsmoke Canada, linked to Philip Morris International's Canadian business, is pushing to allow pouches in convenience stores and other general retail outlets. Health Canada also acknowledges continued unauthorized sales, while recent research shows rising pouch use among Canadian youth aged 16 to 19.
