The government said the measures were part of plans to protect Britain’s high streets.
In recent years the number of vape shops in UK towns and cities has risen dramatically, and an estimated one in ten adults now use vapes.
In the summer the government banned the sale of single use e-cigarettes to limit litter and illegal trading.
The Tobacco and Vapes Bill currently going through parliament will ban the advertising and sponsorship of vaping. It will also provide powers for regulating flavours, packaging and how and where vapes are displayed in shops.
Under the new crackdown the authorities will be permitted to seize illegal vapes, including at the border.
The government said the new measures would “disrupt criminal networks behind black market vapes, protecting the public from dangerous, unregulated products”.
Vaping is substantially less harmful than smoking and can help smokers to quit, but it has not been around for long enough for its long-term risks to be known, according to the NHS.
Health experts say vaping is not completely harmless, so children and non-smokers should never vape.
