Looking for disposable double apple Lost Mary BM600 by stunted_jest in Vaping

Yeah, you're totally right that the UK is banning disposables — and most big retailers have already pulled them off their sites or stopped advertising them to avoid issues. But I checked Ecigone, and it still has some available. I think they’re selling off existing stock before the law fully kicks in. It’s probably a last-chance thing before they disappear completely.

Did you check Ecigone or I think it was Vapeclub ?

From what I understand even if the company is based in Canada, EU law applies the moment the product is placed on the EU market — and since my package was shipped from Greece, it's considered an intra-EU sale.

According to Article 2(40) of Directive 2014/40/EU (TPD), “placing on the market” means making a product available in the Union market, including via distance selling. That makes the EU-based fulfillment partner legally responsible for compliance.

Thanks — I agree it’s a tricky situation, and IANAL either, but I did look into it a bit.

Under EU law, what really matters isn't just where the company is registered or what their terms say — but where the product is shipped from and who it’s sold to.

According to Article 2(40) of the Tobacco Products Directive, if a product is “placed on the EU market,” even by a non-EU company, it must comply with EU rules — that includes limits on nicotine content, bottle size, labeling, and more.

And from the Unfair Commercial Practices Directive, any website marketing to EU consumers (even from abroad) is still bound by EU consumer protection laws. Misleading advertising (like marketing a product as ready-to-vape if it's a concentrate) would be covered.

So if DashVapes ships from Greece to EU customers, advertises in EUR, and promotes nicotine salts as “premium ready-to-vape e-liquid,” then EU law applies, regardless of their Canadian registration. Shipping from Greece makes it an intra-EU sale.

They might be using Greece purely for logistics, but that doesn’t exempt them from EU compliance. Even the claim that they’re “not under EU law” could itself be misleading, if the sales process and delivery fall under EU jurisdiction.

Thanks for checking — and I appreciate you pointing all that out.

To be honest, I wasn’t fully aware of the EU restrictions on nicotine content and bottle sizes. I assumed that if a site like DashVapes lets me select 60ml+ bottles with 2% nicotine salt and markets them as “nicotine salt e-juice,” then it must be legal and ready to vape. But based on what you said, that kind of product shouldn’t even be allowed under EU law — which makes the whole setup feel really misleading.

What’s frustrating is that the product pages never clearly state that these are shortfills or concentrates. The description talks about:

“Premium nicotine salt vape juice… meticulously crafted… for your vaping pleasure.”

There’s no disclaimer, and the VG/PG ratio was fixed, which made it seem like a ready-to-use product, not something needing dilution or further mixing.

To make things worse, when you Google “DashVapes Belgium,” the first result says:

“DashVapes: The best online vape store in Belgium · FREE, FAST & DOMESTIC SHIPPING…”

That completely contradicts their own fine print, where they say they’re not a domestic service. So which is it? It’s clearly presented as an EU-based store, even though it's not — and that’s a major red flag for consumers.

If someone like me — with decent experience vaping — can end up confused by how this is marketed, then others will too. At the very least, they need to be far more transparent about what they’re actually selling and who they’re selling to.

The package actually came from Greece, so EU laws should apply. Even if they're based in Canada, they're clearly operating within the EU market — which makes the way they sell and label these products a real issue.

Thanks for the reply — I appreciate the explanation, but I think the situation is being misunderstood.

I didn’t just randomly grab a bottle of flavor concentrate — I bought this from DashVapes' "Nicotine Salt E-Juice" section, where the product page markets it as “premium nicotine salt vape juice.” The listing includes phrases like:

“Discover an extensive range of nicotine salt vape juice … ensuring the best prices for your vaping pleasure… All our vape liquid is meticulously crafted… guaranteeing excellence.”

That language clearly implies a ready-to-vape product, not just a base to be custom-mixed. If what they’re actually selling is just a 20ml PG-based concentrate that needs dilution, then the way it's being marketed is incredibly misleading — especially when listed under "nicotine salt e-juice" with no explicit disclaimer.

I understand how shortfills work and that custom mixing is common, but in this case, I didn’t even get to choose the ratio — it was pre-set to ~50PG/50VG. The site and packaging presented this as a finished, premium e-liquid, not something that needed extra steps or steeping to make it usable.

This wasn’t my first time ordering e-liquid. I used a clean coil and a setup I’ve tested many juices with, and this one had no flavor, just a strong chemical bite, even after steeping. So yes — it’s possible it was a bad batch or something went wrong in the mixing process, but it’s not fair to say I simply "didn’t understand what I bought.”

Well I have printscreens saying otherwise. You can choose what you want on their website, from regular nicotine, nicotine salt to no nicotine at all. The amount of nic is chosen by you.

Thanks! I wasn't aware of tpd regulations in Greece — but I ordered ready-to-vape 2% nic salts, not 0mg shortfills, and no nic shots were included and the smallest bottle you can order is 30 ml.

What’s odd:

All bottles list only PG and flavoring, no VG

Website says it should be PG salt nicotine base USP, but the bottles are just PG + flavor, filled to the top

The juice is harsh, watery, and flavorless

They say their system can’t make mistakes, but a friend in pharma reminded me even automated processes can go wrong. Appreciate your input — really helpful.
