How Can I Budget After the Vape Tax?
Due to the nature of how the vape duty will be implemented, the cheapest vaping product by price will be EDGE GO pre-filled pods, as these contain the lowest liquid concentration. The duty will increase e-liquid price based on ml concentration, at a rate of 22p per ml of liquid - this means that 10ml bottles, and especially shortfills, will be most affected.
As most of our products are 10ml bottles, prices will inevitably increase due to tax across the board. We don't intend to increase our prices beyond the current base price and tax; however, this means EDGE will remain one of the most affordable options in the vaping market post-tax.

What Are The Top Budget E-Liquids?
The EDGE Core Range will be our best budget option after tax. After the tax, our Core Range will increase from £2.50 to £5.14. Although this is a significant increase currently, the entire vape market will increase in price.
Even at a budget, EDGE is one of the most affordable premium brands, and despite the tax impacts, we will ensure to uphold the high standards and inexpensive costs of our Core Range.
EDGE GO pre-fill pods are set to be the least affected in price by the vape tax. Due to the tax affecting products by ml concentration, EDGE GO pods only contain 1.5ml per pod (3ml per pack), and therefore won't take as much of an impact.
After tax, EDGE GO pods will cost £4.79, only a 79p increase from the current price of £4. These will be the cheapest option, and are most used for their simple efficiency to switch out pods in one simple motion.
Do note that for cost per ml of e-liquid, our 10ml bottles are still the most efficient. Pre-fill pods are best for new vapers or those who enjoy the efficiency offered by changing pods and e-liquid together once one is finished.
Nic Salts Price After Tax
Though nic salts cost more than freebase 50/50 e-liquid from our Core Range, we still intend to keep nic salts equally affordable. Though not the cheapest option when vaping, EDGELIQ Nic Salts will retain their value as one of the most affordable premium vape liquids.
After tax, the EDGE Nic Salt Range will cost £6.14, up from the prior price of £3.50. Though this is a large increase in price, EDGELIQ will remain cheaper than other premium brands such as SKE Crystal, Deliciu, Bar Juice 5000 and Elux Legend nic salt ranges, which currently retail from over £3.99 pre-tax.
What Are the Best Value Vape Kits?
Vape kits aren't affected by the vape tax - only vape liquids. Therefore, kits will retain their original cost, and the best value kit comes down to your personal preference. All of our kits on EDGE have been tested by our vaping experts to ensure they're at the top standard for use with our e-liquid.
In terms of cost-effectiveness, we've highlighted some of our best low-budget and beginner-friendly devices that still deliver on quality:

Saving With EDGE Subscriptions and Multibuy
The next best way to save money is through multipacks and subscriptions. EDGE's subscription service is beneficial to vapers who know what vape juice they like, and how often they use up bottles. It also helps users stay on top of their e-liquid allowance - being stocked up on e-liquid prevents running out, and ultimately prevents nicotine cravings. For more information, read our blog on How To Save Money After The Vape Tax.
Even after the vape duty in 2026, multi-buy options will be available, though prices will change to accommodate the duty. They will remain one of the best-value ways to purchase e-liquids, and allow you to stock up in one go, rather than wait for each delivery, or pick up any liquid whilst you're out and about.
