I've been using ET for years and they've never made a single mistake on wrong product, pricing, delivery times, quality, packaging...nothing. Also, their website is super easy to use. The re-orde... See more

I order at 6:58pm, expecting to miss the next day delivery. Within minutes, I received an email saying it has been dispatched and within about another hour or so, it was with Royal Mail. Just received... See more

Hands down ET has the best customer service I have ever experienced from an online retailer. I had a traumatising situation because of the DPD couriers. ET was very quick to respond to my emails,... See more

I've been ordering from ET for a number of years, I always order the same liquid but this time it tasted different (like the supplier had put the wrong juice in the bottle, not ET's fault at all). I p... See more

Sensational customer service

Very good company

Great company! Will only order from them. Placing an order today and receiving the items next day is fantastic. Great packaging, items delivered safely and a great range of liquids. Thank you very much for your professionalism.

The Vaping Experts Aligned With Top Drawer Service

I'd never had need to use their help service before. Although by email the replies were measured in minutes. Really helpful, knowledgeable and patient. They went the extra mile and resolved my issue completely.

I've used them for years and the ordering is quick and easy. Goods always received next working day.

If you vape, this is the supplier to use without a shadow of a doubt.

Excellent shop for all things Vape

Have been buying from this website for years, always top notch products and delivery times. I've only had 1 interaction with customer service and it was a breeze, all taken care of over email. Would love to see some sort of subscription service be made available, but re-ordering is so simple it's not strictly necessary.

Impossible Age Verification

If you're a pensioner, with no passport or driving licence, forget this company. You'll never manage to verify your age. I have a credit card for goodness sake.

Hi Lynn, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We’re sorry to hear you’re experiencing difficulties passing the age verification process. As a responsible retailer, we are required to ensure that e-cigarette products are not sold to individuals under the age of 18. To meet this requirement, we use a third-party, industry-recognised system to verify your age using the full name, current address, and date of birth you provided when creating your account. This system verifies the provided information by checking it against multiple elements, such as the electoral register, credit, and other relevant data sources. If the automated process at checkout fails, we request that you provide a valid form of identification so we can manually verify this information against your ET account. Rest assured, once your ID is verified, it will be permanently deleted from our system and will not be required for future orders. Unfortunately, we have not yet received your ID, so we cannot complete the verification at this time. Please provide this information if you wish to proceed with your order. Best Regards - ET Team

Always amazed by by prompt delivery…

Always amazed by by prompt delivery when placing orders even after 4pm it always arrives next day delivery. I've been a constant return customer now for 6 years for my vape juice, my husband is also now a return customer. I wouldn't shop anywhere else, good value for money and excellent customer service 👌

Sorted with a A+ Service!

I had a rocky start with my order due to issues with the delivery company, which was quite frustrating. However, the situation quickly turned around thanks to the company's fast action and fantastic customer service. They resolved the problem efficiently, and when the product finally arrived, it was in great condition with beautiful packaging. Despite the initial hiccup, I'm very pleased with the overall experience and will definitely order from them again!
