- „Prohibited“ usually means that the devices do not comply with the TPD2 requirements for the regular trading (Newsagent, local shop).
- The main reason is the 2-ml limit per nicotine-containing tank.
- Whether a device is safe depends primarily on whether it has a Original is.

Anyone looking for information online about these colourful devices with their huge pull ratings will quickly come across conflicting answers. You’ll find everything from „completely banned“ to „all legal“. We’ll sort through this and show you what you need to look out for.
What exactly is Fumot?
Fumot is the brand behind the Tornado series, which many people also know as the RandM Tornado. The devices feature mesh coils, USB-C batteries and large e-liquid reservoirs. Whilst a standard disposable vape from a kiosk runs out after around 600 puffs, models such as the Fumot Tornado 15000 designed to handle several thousand trains. It is precisely this scale that is at the heart of the debate.
Why is it said that Fumot is „banned“?
The catalyst is the European Tobacco Products Directive, or TPD2. Among other things, it sets out the following rules:
💧 Maximum 2 ml
Per nicotine-containing tank or pre-filled unit.
🧪 Limited nicotine strength
Upper limits apply to e-liquids containing nicotine.
📋 Obligation to report
Products must be notified to the authorities before they are placed on the market.
A device with several thousand puffs usually holds significantly more than 2 ml. It therefore does not comply with the regulations for general retail sale, i.e. on the shelves at a newsagent’s or in a local vape shop. When people talk about a „ban“, that is usually exactly what they mean.
Are Fumot vapes safe? Genuine vs. counterfeit
Whether a device is safe depends less on the brand name than on whether you have a Original you’re holding in your hand. For popular models, there are counterfeit versions in circulation that may use inferior batteries and untested e-liquids. The key differences:
| Feature | Original | Suspicious |
|---|---|---|
| Packaging | ✅ Clear print, security code for verification | ⚠ Crooked print, no code or an incorrect code |
| Processing | ✅ A snug fit, no loose parts | ⚠ Wobbles, rattles, unusual smell |
| Retailer | ✅ Legal notice, support contact details | ⚠ Anonymous profiles, second-hand market, no legal notice |
| Price | ✅ In line with market rates | ⚠ Strikingly cheap |
