Tax-Free Nic Salt Vape Juice

Yes, under the new UK Vaping Products Duty Scheme (VPD), it is completely legal to sell untaxed nic salt vape juice produced before the 1st October 2026. These products will be available at their lower pre-tax prices (£2) up until 1st April 2027, or until stock is depleted.

Any nic salts produced after the 1st October 2026, however, must carry a tax stamp and will be subject to the new duty charge of 22p per ml, adding approximately £2.64 in excise tax to the base price of 10ml bottles.

After the 1st April 2027, it will become illegal to sell any untaxed nic salt vapes, regardless of their production date. After this date, any remaining stock of nic salts produced before October 2026 will have to be removed from shelves and replaced with more expensive, tax-stamped products.

As we enter the 6-month pre-tax e-liquid sell-through period, you may notice that some nic salt vape juice remains cheaper, while others are listed at a higher price. This is because of the way the Vaping Products Duty Scheme (VPD) is enforced.

Nic Salts produced before 1st October 2026 can legally be sold for their original £2 base price, without added tax, until 1st April 2027. As these products sell out, however, they can only be replaced with a tax-stamped equivalent, which includes the new duty costs in the final price. This is why you will see products from the same range listed at different prices.

As the April 2027 tax-free cutoff gets closer, you will likely notice more and more products appearing at higher prices, as stocks of pre-tax nic salts sell out.

The vape tax sell-through period is a 6-month window allowing retailers like LiQuid to sell untaxed e-liquids at their original, lower prices. This only applies to e-liquid produced before the 1st October 2026.

The sell-through period starts on 1st October 2026 and runs until 1st April 2027. During this time, you can take advantage by stocking up on cheaper e-liquids while stocks last.

Yes, with the exception of price, our tax-free nic salts are exactly the same as their tax-stamped equivalents, and indeed, the Bar Salts we have been producing for years before the tax was even announced.

They are made using the same premium ingredients and are held to the exact same safety and quality standards.

We have simply built a stockpile of our best-selling nic salt vape juice before October 2026 to give our customers the best chance of enjoying cheaper pre-tax nic salts for longer.

Absolutely, in fact, we recommend placing staggered bulk orders during the 6-month pre-tax sell-through period. This is so you can build a supply of cheaper nic salts to support you for as long as possible after the April 2027 cut-off date, after which higher prices will be forced by the UK Government.

We have increased the maximum number of bottles you can purchase per nic salt flavour/strength to 150, giving you the flexibility to bulk-order according to your budget.

No, while some older batches may remain in circulation, we have purpose-built our stockpiles of untaxed nic salt vape juice in the run-up to the October 1st start date for the pre-tax sell-through period.

That means you should find that our untaxed nic salts have very recent production dates, allowing you to make the most of the 2-year recommended usage window for each product.

If you stock up tactically, you should be able to build a supply of cheaper nic salt e-liquid with dates that last over a year beyond the April 2027 tax-free cut-off date. This should allow you to avoid paying vape tax for as long as possible.

You can buy nic salt e-liquid without the added vape tax costs from now until 1st April 2027.

This is dependent on how long stocks of nic salts produced before 1st October 2026 last, which is when the official pre-tax sell-through period begins.

We have done everything we can to build as much stock of our nic salt vape juice before 1st October 2026 as possible. However, we cannot guarantee how long these supplies will last.

It is expected that many vapers will begin bulk-buying cheaper pre-tax nic salts, in an attempt to avoid paying vape tax for as long as possible. This may cause particularly popular products (like Blueberry Sour Raspberry Ice) to sell out faster than others, at which point we are legally bound to replace them with tax-stamped equivalents, which must be charged at a higher rate.
