Vaping’s history actually dates back to the 1960s when the concept of e-cigarettes emerged. Hon Lik, a Chinese pharmacist, invented the modern e-cigarette in 2003, using a heating element to vaporise liquid.
By the mid-2000s, e-cigarettes gained popularity, leading to further innovations and a thriving vaping industry as an alternative to traditional smoking.
The primary incentive for those who begin vaping is to quit smoking and transition away from traditional cigarettes. This switch is motivated by various factors, including concerns about health and family, as well as other personal reasons. Vaping offers a healthier alternative devoid of the harmful additives found in cigarettes.
While debates and controversies surround the health effects of vaping, the prevailing consensus among medical experts and governmental bodies is that inhaling vapor is significantly less harmful than inhaling smoke produced by burning tobacco.
Besides the health benefits, vaping offers additional advantages over quitting smoking, such as being more cost-effective and eliminating the lingering tobacco smoke smell.
As purveyors of some of the finest vaping equipment, we recognize that many individuals enjoy vaping for its own sake. With a vast array of e-liquid flavours available, vaping has evolved into a hobby for many, involving the pursuit of the latest devices and the discovery of the most delightful flavours.
There exists a diverse range of electronic cigarettes, yet they all share the same three fundamental components.
Firstly, the coil, which heats the liquid to generate the inhaled vapor. This vapor originates from the e-liquid, composed of propylene glycol and vegetable glycerine. The method of device activation can vary, with some requiring a button press to inhale, while others activate the coil through a sensor when inhaling directly.
Secondly, the battery, also known as a mod, may be one-time use, built-in, or removable and rechargeable. They provide power to the coil and are available in different sizes, measured in ohms and wattage. Certain batteries even boast variable wattage, allowing users to adjust power output.
Lastly, the e-liquid, responsible for producing the inhalable vapor when heated by the coil. The range of e-liquid flavours is virtually limitless, encompassing everything from fruity and dessert flavours to cocktails or icy blends. Since vaping involves inhaling vapor rather than smoke from burning tobacco, it contains significantly fewer harmful chemicals and leaves no lingering odour.
There are several types of e-cigarettes, each falling into one of two categories:
1. Disposable Vapes:
Resembling traditional cigarettes in size, disposable e-cigarettes have gained popularity as a beginner’s option for those attempting to quit smoking and explore vaping. These devices are incredibly straightforward to use, with a pre-filled atomizer containing e-liquid. Once the e-liquid is used up, the atomizer cannot be refilled, rendering the whole device disposable. Although convenient with a low initial cost, they become quite expensive in the long run compared to refillable systems due to their weak batteries and limited use.
2. Rechargeable Vapes:
Similar to disposable e-cigarettes in appearance, these devices allow the battery to be recharged and the cartridge/pod to be refilled with e-liquid multiple times. This option is more cost-effective than disposables, though it does come with more technical components. Some challenges arise when different manufacturers use varying threading, limiting users to compatible cartridges/pods made specifically for their devices.
The majority of hardware products now come equipped with ‘scratch and verify’ verification codes, providing a means for customers to verify the authenticity of the products they purchase from us. While it is not legally mandated, some products, such as e-liquid, may not have these codes.
However, we want to assure our customers that we exclusively source our products from reputable distributors and suppliers, ensuring that everything we offer is 100% authentic and fully compliant with industry legal standards. Your trust and satisfaction are our top priorities, and we remain committed to delivering high-quality and genuine products to our valued customers.
In accordance with the law, you must be 18 years old or above to purchase any vape product, e-liquid, or related items, both in-store and online.

For online orders, an age verification check may be required before completing your purchase. Additionally, upon delivery, you may be asked to provide ID to ensure compliance with legal age restrictions. This policy is implemented to responsibly sell vape products and safeguard against underage purchases, as we take our commitment to following the law and promoting responsible vaping seriously.
