UK Vaping Products Duty (VPD)
From 1st October 2026, HM Revenue & Customs is introducing the nationwide Vaping Products Duty (VPD).
The new framework applies a flat excise duty of £2.20 per 10ml of vaping liquid, whether it contains nicotine or not. Because standard 20% VAT applies on top of the duty, the retail cost impact adds £2.64 per 10ml to duty-paid liquids.
Existing eligible stock can continue to be sold during the Government's transition period (sell-through of existing pre-October stock is permitted until 1 April).
We are working closely with our suppliers to ensure the smoothest possible transition. While pre-duty stock remains available, our prices will remain at current rates.

Core Technology: Smart Mode & Adaptive Power
At the heart of the Arco E1’s appeal is its "Smart Mode" functionality, a breakthrough in intuitive vaping. This intelligent system automatically detects the resistance of the installed ARCO Pod and adjusts the wattage output accordingly, ensuring optimal performance and flavour delivery without you needing to fiddle with settings. This adaptive power ranging from 5W up to a maximum of 30W means you're always getting the best possible vape, extending coil longevity and providing a consistent experience whether you prefer a tighter Mouth-to-Lung (MTL) draw or a more open Restricted Direct-to-Lung (RDL) vape. The device is compatible with the full series of ARCO Pods, including 0.4Ω, 0.6Ω, 0.8Ω, and 1.1Ω meshed coils, each designed for specific wattage sweet spots and vaping styles.
Features & Power
The SMOK Arco E1 is engineered for convenience and endurance. It houses a robust 1300mAh built-in rechargeable battery, providing ample power for extended vaping sessions and supporting a maximum output of 30W. Charging is swift and hassle-free thanks to its USB-C port, supporting a maximum charging current of 1.3A. Monitoring your battery life is straightforward with the integrated LED indicator, which conveniently changes colour to keep you informed of your device's status.
Vaping is as simple as inhaling, with its responsive draw-activated firing system. The refillable ARCO pods feature a convenient topside filling system, making e-liquid replenishment quick and clean. While the Arco E1 can accommodate a 3ml e-liquid capacity in some regions, the version available in the UK adheres to TRPR regulations with a 2ml capacity, ensuring compliance without compromising on performance. Furthermore, the precise damping system allows for adjustable airflow, empowering you to fine-tune your draw resistance and tailor your vaping experience exactly to your preference.
The SMOK Arco E1 Pod Kit is the ideal choice for vapers who appreciate a minimalist aesthetic combined with smart, reliable technology, offering a consistently satisfying and user-friendly vape every time.
