GD Vape Nerds!
Just when you thought the "puff count race" had hit a ceiling, Maskking just broke the speedometer. We’re officially entering the era of the six-figure disposable.
Here's what's cookin' in the vaping world right now:
- The Maskking Extre 100K: Is 100,000 puffs a milestone or just madness?
- The UK’s "Shortfill Shock": Why your 100ml bottle is about to cost £26 more.
- The Registry Trend: South Carolina and New York are building hit lists.
UK WATCH: THE £2.20 "LIQUID TAX" 🇬🇧
On February 10, HMRC issued a final warning: The Vaping Products Duty is coming in April 2026, and it’s a flat-rate bloodbath.
- The Rate: A flat £2.20 per 10ml of liquid.
- The "Shortfill" Nightmare: This tax hits 0mg nicotine "shortfills" just as hard as nic-salts.
- The Math: A standard 100ml bottle that costs £15 today could see a 200% price hike, landing over £40 after duty and VAT.
The UK is trying to kill "high-volume, low-cost" vaping. If you’re a cloud chaser, your hobby is about to get as expensive as a smoking habit. Again, this is just par for the course with the current Labour party.
Everything costs more. Old people are freezing to death. And nothing works. Oh, and then there's the whole Mandelson thing...
THE "REGISTRY" TREND: SHUTTING THE GATES 🏛️
The US is moving away from broad bans and toward Vape Registries—basically a "permission to play" list.
- South Carolina: On Feb 10, the legislature passed a PMTA registry bill. If a product isn't specifically authorized by the FDA, it’s banned from state shelves. Period.
- New York: Not to be outdone, NY is considering a similar registry plus a secondary tax.
The bill also prohibits the use on vaping products of numerous words, including candy, gummy bear, lollipop, cake, pie, ice cream and popsicle. It also bans the use “in the labeling or design of the product, its packaging, its advertisement, or in its marketing materials, images of or references to children's toys, cartoons, cartoon characters, superheroes, television shows, video games and movies, or other similar characters or references, that have been commonly used to market products to minors.” Jim MacDonald.
The Goal: To give local law enforcement a clear "Yes/No" list. If it's not on the registry, it’s illegal, making enforcement against Chinese disposables much easier.
Fun times!

The Most Popular Flavours of 2026
#1
The quintessential bar-style flavor. Balanced tartness with a heavy candy-sweet finish.
#2
Fizzy Cherry
A sharp, nostalgic cherry with a distinct effervescent "tingle" on the exhale.
#3
Dragon's Blood
Exotic dragonfruit blended with mixed berries. Complex and very smooth.
#4
Gummi Bears
Captures the "white and green" gummy bear flavors perfectly.
VapeBeat Verdict
For 2026, Blueberry Sour Raspberry remains the gold standard for longfills. If you want a disposable-grade punch in a 120ml bottle, these four are the highest-rated for flavor accuracy and coil longevity.
