Vape company release Coronation memorabilia styled on King Charles's fingers

King Charles' Coronation has seen a flood of new Royal memorabilia hit the market - and now e-liquid company, Riot Labs, has released a 10-piece collection of disposable vapes modelled on King Charles’s swollen fingers.

King Charles has been pictured with swollen fingers on a number of occasions, and while he has never provided an explanation he is reported to have said himself that he has 'sausage fingers'.

Experts have suggested the King's swollen fingers may be down to water retention or arthritis. They appear to get worse in warmer weather.

It’s reported Brits will splash out £300m on Coronation memorabilia including cups, tea towels, spoons and other souvenirs. Recent media comments from Daniel Wade, manager at Paul Fraser Collectibles, revealed the more unique the better when it comes to bagging something that could be a collector’s item years down the line.

“Memorabilia will be produced in such large numbers that there will be insufficient rarity to drive prices upwards in years to come. Plus, so many people today have the idea of buying memorabilia as an investment that many owners will keep them in pristine condition – meaning the market will be saturated for decades”, says Daniel.

A limited number off the Riot Coronation Collection will go on sale from today. Modelled on the award-winning Riot Bar - intricate detail has gone into the 10-piece collection – mirroring the shape and size of the Kings own fingers and featuring his Pinky ring. The vape flavours are Royal themed, with Victoria Sponge, Scotch Egg, Breakfast Tea, Coronation Chicken, and Champagne included in the collectible set.

Riot Labs CEO, Ben Johnson, said: “At an important juncture in our Royal timeline, we wanted to commemorate King Charles' with this unique 10-piece collection based on the Kings' famous digits.

"With PHE (Public Health England) backing e-cigarettes as the best tool to quit tobacco, and the Government launching their own initiatives, we wanted to create a bit of Royal history when choosing e-cigarettes over tobacco is so front of mind. It's a bit of Coronation fun but based on the expert comments, the collection could make you more than 10-digits richer in 50 years-time."
