With a staggering capacity of 200,000 attendees, the festival has decided to ban the use of disposable vapes due to concerns over their environmental impact. This move has ignited a broader conversation about the recycling and disposal of disposable vapes in the UK.
Neil McLaren, CMO at vaping.com, acknowledges the importance of addressing this issue and applauds Glastonbury for taking a stand. However, he believes that the ban should also extend to cigarettes, considering their well-documented harm and status as the world's most littered item. In this article, we explore the environmental implications of disposable vapes and offer a greener alternative for vapers concerned about the festival ban.

When your vape tastes burnt, you know about it.
It tastes like charred newspaper and the burnt vapour cloud scratches the back of your throat all the way down to your lungs, where it can make you choke or even vomit. When this happens you should stop vaping immediately and take steps to fix the problem, but you'll want to anyway.
It’s not nice. But why does it happen?
Why your vape tastes burnt
The first thing to say is don’t worry if your vape tastes burnt. This happens to everyone and it is easy to fix. It tastes burnt because the wick inside your atomizer coil has dried out and burned up when it was heated. The wick is the part of your vaporizer that soaks up the eliquid from the tank. The wick holds onto this eliquid before it is turned into vapour when the coil heats up. If the wick is not fully saturated with eliquid when you take a puff, this material can char

Cigarette butts are the most common piece of litter picked up in the United States. Thrown butts are also a big problem on beaches and in oceans around the world.
Although e-cigarettes still create some litter, making the switch to vaping can help clean up streets, parks and beaches and stop toxic chemicals from used butts leaching into the environment.
The problem with cigarette butts
Cigarette butts have consistently made up around 30-40% of all litter items collected in urban and coastal clean-ups. This is despite the fact that smoking rates have been dropping across much of the Western world.
A Keep America Beautiful roadway litter survey found that - along with other tobacco products like cigars and tobacco packaging - cigarette butts were the single biggest item of litter collected. Butts made up 38% of the 51.2

Some vapers love blowing huge clouds, doing vape tricks and bringing as much attention to their vaping session as possible. Every now and then you’ll see them out and about with their vape mods, just subtly visible behind a dense vape fog with a small group of interested people surrounding them in curiosity. However, not every vaper begs for this type of attention. In fact, some vapers live in areas where vaping is much more restricted, looked down upon, or maybe even illegal. While some vapers command to be the centre of attention, others have a much different objective. If anything, they seek the opposite - the ability to seem totally invisible while they are vaping.
At times, we just want to vape in peace, without the awkward stares or question from others. This is where “stealth vape” is extremely useful. In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know to vape like you’re invisible; from the perfect stealth mods to the expert

Vaping is really simple but there are things you need to do to keep your vape in good condition. One thing you have to make sure you do is clean your tank out regularly.
A dirty atomizer can make your vape taste funny and affect the longevity of your device. You should give your atomizer a quick clean each time you change your e-liquid or replace your coil.
Here’s a quick cleaning job you can do:
- Get rid of excess e-liquid by pouring it out or create a spinning centrifuge with a piece of string and a plastic bucket.
- Remove the coil and rinse the tank out
- Let the tank air dry and use a Q tip to clean any stubborn spots
Deep cleaning your atomizer
If your atomizer looks very dirty or starts tasting foul when you vape, you might have to do a more thorough cleaning job.
Coils that look brown and burnt will not perform as well as they should. Cleaning these coils requires a deeper clean.
