European E-Cigarette Market Report 2017: Shake and Vape - The Legal Implications in the EU - Research and Markets

DUBLIN--()--The "Shake and Vape: The Legal Implications in the EU" report has been added to Research and Markets' offering.

The sale of ingredients for shake and vape - enabling users to mix their own nicotine and non-nicotine e-liquids - is a legal grey area for sellers in many European countries, as it can be a way to get round TPD quantity restrictions on nicotine-containing liquids. In this report we look into the matter in detail.

  • At this point it is not clear how the law will develop in Europe with respect to shake and vape, the practice whereby non-nicotine flavours and unflavoured nicotine are sold - often by the same vendor - as separate products, allowing consumers to mix the two and thus circumventing quantity restrictions in the EU Tobacco Products Directive (TPD).
  • Official guidelines of European Union member states are few and sometimes contradictory.
  • If all liquids, with or without nicotine, were treated equally by the law, limiting the volume of non-nicotine liquids to 10 ml, it would undermine the economic benefits of shake and vape.
