Imperial Tobacco has ventured into the disposables segment for the first time with the launch of a new Blu Bar range.

Rolling out into convenience stores now, the supplier said the “compact pocket size design allows for the ultimate on-the-go convenience”. Each Blu Bar device contains 20mg of nicotine in 2ml of e-liquid providing up to 600 puffs, and features a LED indicator that lights up when in use.

Available to buy at a RRP of £5.99 per device, the range comes in six flavour varieties, including: Kiwi Passionfruit, Mango Ice, Banana Ice, Peach Ice, Watermelon Ice and Strawberry Ice.

Tom Gully, head of consumer marketing UK&I at Imperial Tobacco, said: “Disposables are taking over the vape category, with the segment seeing rapid growth in the last year. In fact, recent figures show they now account for 70% of vape sales. We’re really excited to be joining this flourishing market with our new Blu Bar range.”
