When I started vaping in 2008, there wasn’t much choice. Unless you were in the modding/DIY camp, there was little to choose from other than cartridges that you could use with cigalikes and a few, mostly high PG, e-liquids. Nowadays, though, there is a ton of choice. You can choose between high VG and high […]
What a year it’s been for the vaping industry. In the first half of the year it seemed nothing could stop vaping, with smokers switching from tobacco to electronic cigarettes in droves. Then an outbreak of serious respiratory illness broke out in the USA. While the illness was caused by the use of Vitamin-E acetate […]
When we wrote our last ecig starter kit round up, we said that 2018 had been the year of the back-to-basics device. We also predicted that 2019 would see a continued trend in pod systems, and that’s certainly been the case, with both an explosion in the range as well as increased variety. You can […]
Time drifts away like a cloud of gentle vapour, and after attending the 1st E-Cigarette summit in 2013 (and every one since!) it seems astonishing to find myself at the 7th event. Events change too, and gone are the huddles of dedicated vapers at the back of the room. Indeed, you can’t now vape in […]
Times are difficult for the vape sector. Since people started experiencing severe respiratory illnesses in the USA after using illegal, mostly THC cartridges, we’ve seen an avalanche of negative headlines.

Thanks to their research, and regular updates from head office, they have the knowledge, information and confidence to deal with concerns generated by negative press. When we visit other shops, though, that’s not always the case, and I’ve seen […]
I was recently very kindly invited to speak on behalf of the UK Vape Industry Association at SME for Labour at the Labour conference in Brighton. The brief was to talk both about how our own business got started and the benefits of the vape industry for the UK economy, although I couldn’t resist getting […]
In the days of vaping, in the UK at least, it’s difficult to imagine people smoking combustible cigarettes in 100 years time. But the UK government is a lot more ambitious – they have announced they want to be smoke free by 2030, despite slashed funding for stop smoking services. Is it feasible? How could […]
If a group of people, in a foreign country, ate burgers containing ingredients known to cause serious sickness, and then got ill, would you worry about eating UK meat or using UK restaurants? Probably not, especially if the UK government and scientists quickly stated the burgers responsible were contaminated, burger production was regulated much more […]
Professor Polosa has recently completed his latest study, a review of the effect of vaping on respiratory health. We got together with Riccardo Polosa to discuss how vaping can reverse harm, the potential to reduce infections, the latest controversy over vaping and respiratory diseases in the US and more. In a recent press release you […]
