Bar Fuel at the UKVIA Forum 2025: Leading the Way Forward

On 26 November 2025, the UK Vaping Industry Association (UKVIA) will host its annual Forum at the London Marriott Hotel Regents Park. The theme of this year’s forum is “The Way Forward: Changing the Vaping Mindset”, and the agenda brings together policy‑makers, healthcare professionals, retailers and suppliers to discuss responsible retailing, regulatory uncertainty, supply‑chain disruption and the upcoming Tobacco and Vapes Bill. Sessions will explore evidence‑based regulation, how to correct misinformation and the role that innovation can play in harm reduction.

Why Hangsen and Bar Fuel are attending

Hangsen, our parent company, is the lanyard sponsor of the Forum and one of the manufacturers invited to exhibit. Hangsen is the global e‑liquid leader behind the Bar Fuel and ATOM ranges, supplying trusted OEM and white‑label solutions for many brands and retailers. Our stand at the Forum will showcase our latest flavours and innovations, including Bar Fuel bar salt vapes and our proprietary Zero Cloud technology that delivers intense flavour with minimal visible vapour. Delegates will have the opportunity to meet our team, learn about upcoming launches and discuss how bar salt vapes can replace disposables in a compliant, sustainable way.

A platform for harm‑reduction leadership

With six million adults in the UK still smoking and regulators scrutinising disposables, the Forum is an important moment to demonstrate responsible leadership. Hangsen will share insights on how bar salt vapes can deliver the intense flavour and convenience consumers expect while meeting TPD requirements and reducing environmental impact. We will also contribute to discussions on evidence‑based regulation and how retailers can communicate harm‑reduction benefits accurately. By participating, we’re reinforcing our commitment to innovation and harm reduction and ensuring that retailers’ voices are heard as policy evolves.

What this means for retailers and distributors

For retailers and distributors, the UKVIA Forum is more than a policy event; it’s a chance to understand the direction of the category and align your range accordingly. Bar Fuel’s presence underscores our ability to support partners with:

• Regulatory assurance – Our products are compliant and future‑proofed. We’ll share insights on how the Tobacco and Vapes Bill will affect flavour selection, packaging and marketing.

• Innovation – Hangsen’s Zero Cloud technology and bar salt formulations offer intense flavour, smoother nicotine delivery and lower environmental impact.

• OEM and white‑label solutions – As a global manufacturer, we can develop bespoke bar salt lines, packaging and POS materials for your business.

• Business intelligence – Our conversations at the Forum will inform partners about market trends, supply‑chain developments and how to position bar salt vapes as disposables face restrictions.
