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.

China Tobacco Zhejiang files patent for pressure-triggered, on-demand oral nicotine release
China Tobacco Zhejiang files patent for pressure-triggered, on-demand oral nicotine release
China Tobacco Zhejiang Industrial Co., Ltd. has filed a patent application for an oral nicotine delivery product designed to let users actively adjust nicotine release. The product embeds two types of nicotine reservoirs with different wall thicknesses and positions inside a deformable matrix. Pressure applied with the tongue or lips can rupture the reservoirs and accelerate nicotine release. In simulated oral tests, several patent examples showed sharply higher peak nicotine release rates as applied force increased from 0 N to 1 N and 3 N. The filing explores a shift from preset release profiles toward user-triggered nicotine delivery.
