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. As a result, vape businesses are reporting a fall in sales, which particularly seems to be affecting starter kits and business catering to new and […]
I’m quite proud that the teams in our vape stores are clued up on vaping myths. 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 […]
Over the years, we’ve done several experiments with unusual vape flavours. Very often we’ve done this for a bit of fun, but sometimes the results have surprised us. A good few years ago, for example, we went to a vape show with a small range of very unusual flavours. One of them was barbecue sauce […]
I have a little secret. First, understand that I get to try a lot of new vape devices. We constantly have new products passing through the office, and I get to try a lot of them. But, like a comfortable pair of shoes, I still find myself going back to the same products again and […]
Vapes are literally designed to get hot. Your battery is there to supply energy to a coil, which turns a portion of that energy into heat and as a result, sending a stream of vapour up the mouthpiece for you to inhale. But when you’re new to vaping, it’s natural to be a bit uneasy […]
