We are all getting more environmentally conscious these days and rightly so. One of the main items that seems to be causing litter issues is disposable vape products. We need to do what we can to ensure that these products end up back for recycling and off our streets. We at OB Vape have taken this on board and have set up a recycle program for this exact purpose. We have begun working with WEEE Ireland and ERP Ireland. If you are a disposable user we urge you to help us get your empty product back for recycling and this is how easy it is to do. Bring your empty disposable to our store, another vape store or to your local retail shop. In all of these shops there are blue WEEE boxes or battery recycling boxes, that are there to take the empty products back, anf if they are not in place just ask the person working and they should take back the disposables. The box, when full, is collected and brought back to WEEE / ERP Ireland, then the products are sent to a sorting company who separates the disposable products from other household batteries. After this process the disposable products are sent to Germany to be recycled. We all have a responsibility to make sure that the above happens. We as a seller of disposable vaping products have set up this process to help the environment and to make it easy for you, the customer, to return your empty disposable and place it in a WEEE box. We hope you can help us and please return your empty disposable to a store near you and help us all make less litter in the country. Not many people know this return project is available so we need you to help us get the word out and share this email with anyone you know that uses disposable products. OB Vape would like to thank you for your continued support and hope you can help us recycle as many disposable products that we can and create a greener environment. 1 OB Vape will take back your WEEE on a one-for-one, like-for-like basis, free of charge at the time of delivery or at any one of our store(s) nationwide. Waste batteries are taken back in store on a one-for- zero basis (i.e. no purchased required) as long as they are of equivalent type to that sold by us. WEEE and waste batteries can also be returned to your local civic amenity site free of charge. The following link will show you how to find the civic amenity site closest to you where you can recycle your WEEE, batteries and light bulbs, https://www.weeeireland.ie/household-recycling/where-can-i-recycle/. Never put WEEE, batteries or light bulbs in any of your bins. PRL Registration Number: 3610WB

Irish Vape Tax: What It Is, When It Starts, and How OB Vape Is Protecting Prices From 1 November, Ireland is introducing an excise duty (“vape tax”) on e-liquid. This page explains the new tax, how it affects prices in Ireland, and why OB Vape’s prices will not increase while our large pre-tax Irish stock lasts. Quick Summary Start date: 1 November. Rate: €0.50 per ml of e-liquid (excise), applied at first supply in the State (on top of VAT and normal costs). Who pays it first? The first supplier in Ireland (usually manufacturer/importer/wholesaler) accounts for the new excise. That cost then flows through the chain. OB Vape price protection: We have secured large pre-tax stock purchased from Irish suppliers. While that inventory lasts, our prices are frozen for those items. What should customers do? Popular products are moving fast. Stock up on your favourites so you don’t miss out on pre-tax pricing. Important: OB Vape’s current Irish-sourced inventory is not subject to the new excise. Once that specific stock sells through and is replenished post-tax, suppliers’ increased costs will likely flow into retail prices. Why OB Vape Prices Are Frozen (While Stock Lasts) We’ve front-loaded our purchasing with Irish-sourced inventory ahead of 1 November. Because that stock is already in the State and was first supplied pre-tax, the new excise does not apply to it. That’s why we can hold prices on those lines until our pre-tax batches are gone. Fresh replenishments purchased after 1 November will reflect the new supplier costs and excise. Expected Price Effects in Ireland Below are illustrative before/after ranges seen across Ireland when the €0.50/ml excise is added upstream (final retail depends on brand, supplier pricing, and promotions). OB Vape pricing remains at the “Before Tax” level while our pre-tax stock lasts. Product Type Typical Size Before Tax (Ireland) After Tax (Indicative) Notes Nic Salt / Freebase E-Liquid 10 ml €5.00 €11–€15+ €0.50/ml excise adds ~€5 before VAT & margins. Shortfill E-Liquid 50 ml €10–€15 €35–€55+ Excise on the liquid in bottle; nic-shots purchased separately also carry excise per ml. Shortfill E-Liquid 100 ml €20–€25 €70–€85+ Large bottles see the biggest absolute increase because excise is per ml. Disposable Vape (typical) ≈12 ml €10–€15 €20–€30+ Excise adds ~€6 on 12 ml before VAT & margins. Good news for OB Vape customers: Because we bought heavily from Irish suppliers before 1 November, our prices remain at the “Before Tax” level while that stock lasts. When a line sells out and we re-order post-tax, new supplier costs will apply. How to Save Money in Ireland Right Now Stock up on favourites: Pre-tax Irish stock is limited and demand is very high. Switch to refillables: A refillable pod kit + larger bottles (e.g., OB 80 ml) gives far more e-liquid for the money than disposables. Ask us for alternatives: If a specific flavour sells out, we’ll recommend a like-for-like option from our pre-tax inventory. FAQ: Irish Vape Tax & OB Vape Pricing When does the Irish vape tax start? From 1 November. How much is the tax? An excise of €0.50 per ml of e-liquid is added at first supply in the State (separate to VAT). Why are OB Vape’s prices not increasing now? We secured large pre-tax batches from Irish suppliers ahead of 1 November. That inventory was first supplied before the excise start date, so we can keep prices unchanged while it lasts. Will prices increase later? Once a line sells out and we re-order from suppliers after 1 November, new supplier costs including excise will apply. We’ll still work hard to keep pricing competitive in Ireland. Are zero-nicotine products affected? The excise applies per ml of e-liquid under the Irish rules. Practical retail impacts vary by product type and supplier pricing; we’ll flag any exceptions on individual product pages. Best value in Ireland right now? Refillable pod kits + larger bottles (e.g., OB 80 ml) give the best “€/ml”. They’re ideal for Irish vapers switching from disposables and wanting consistent flavour at a lower cost per day.
