VPZ began in 2012, when our founders, eager to quit smoking, discovered that vaping was the only method that truly helped them kick the habit. Quitting smoking - especially alone - is no easy feat, and this was the spark that ignited the VPZ journey. What stood out to our founders while switching to vaping was the poor customer experience, limited availability, and lack of choice when sourcing liquids and coils. Motivated to help others quit smoking and aware that there were around 12.4 million smokers in the UK at the time, they opened the first VPZ store in Leith, Edinburgh. Their goal was simple: to help the local community make the switch, provide exceptional customer service, and spread awareness about vaping across the UK. Today, the evidence supports vaping as a powerful tool in the NHS stop-smoking strategy. While the well-known “95% less harmful” figure comes from a 2015 Public Health England review. Recent statistics show that around 5.5 million adults in Great Britain now vape, including roughly 3 million ex-smokers. Over the past five years, approximately 2.7 million people have quit smoking using a vape. In fact, the number of vapers now exceeds the number of smokers, with 5.5 million vapers compared to 4.9 million current smokers. Yet public perception still lags: studies show that 85% of smokers in 2024 underestimated how much less harmful vaping is, often believing it to be as harmful - or more harmful - than smoking. Educating smokers about the reduced risk could help more people make the switch. Our mission remains to assist those who want to quit smoking and support existing vapers on their journey. We do this through excellent customer service, an incredible range of products, cutting-edge technology, and local accessibility via stores across the UK. VPZ is still a family-run business with our headquarters in Edinburgh. Since opening our first store in Leith in 2012, we’ve grown to over 190 stores nationwide - and we’re not stopping there. Once recognised in the Virgin Fast Track 100 as Scotland’s fastest-growing business and 24th fastest-growing in the UK, our aim is to continue expanding until there is a VPZ on every high street, helping communities across the country make the switch to e-cigarettes. We pride ourselves on the expert knowledge and customer service of our vape store staff, who are always happy to help new and existing vapers find the right products to stay on their journey to becoming cigarette-free. Many of our team have been through the journey themselves, so they truly practice what they preach. You can rest assured that you’ll receive top-notch service at any VPZ store. All our Store Managers and Assistant Managers undergo rigorous product and service training before assisting customers. Great customer service, in-depth knowledge, and a genuine passion for vaping are at the heart of everything we do. We strive to provide expert advice and always recommend products that best meet our customers’ individual needs. When visiting any one of our VPZ stores across the UK, you can expect the biggest range of e-liquids nationwide and the best vaping devices on the market. Not only do we stock the hottest e-liquid brands from around the world, but our sister company, Absolute E-juice also create and manufactures our own brand e-liquids such as Self Juice. This is all done with meticulous care and attention at our state of the art production facility right here in Edinburgh and we utilise our staff to help create these flavours, why wouldn’t we. This means we can guarantee the best quality eliquids to every VPZ customer. All of this is crafted with meticulous care at our state-of-the-art production facility in Edinburgh, where our staff are actively involved in developing new flavours. This hands-on approach ensures that every VPZ customer receives e-liquids of the highest quality. So why not pop in-store today or browse the range on our site and make sure to follow us on Facebook, Instagram and X for all of the latest updates!

1 month on and still waiting for the vape devices ordered and paid for, no customer service, an absolute disgrace of a company.
I love going to the Newmarket store. Jas is always friendly, helpful and efficient. Have been using this store for several years and travel from a different town specifically to go here. If I want a new vape Jas is always able to find the perfect one, if I want a new flavour she can quickly find one right up my street and knows all the new flavours I might not have tried yet. Always a pleasure using this store, Jas is a credit to your company!

used to be great, would make an order and receive 1-2 days later, in the last month or so, their online store just arent fulfilling orders. have been waiting well over a week, royal mail status is still 'waiting for dispatch' which essentially means VPZ arent fulfilling their orders. I'm not sure what the point of royal mail 24 is when you take 2 weeks to send them the parcel. As you will see, all recent reviews of the online service say the exact same thing - orders still havent come after weeks, or half the items are missing. VPZ offer good discounts so i hope they sort it out soon, otherwise im gone.
Jaylen is absolutely fantastic at serving us, has done for a long time, so pleasant and funny! That’s why we keep going back to this store.

The service was brilliant. Helped find an alternative cheaper product. The level of customer service was outstanding and was tailored around my needs and they ensured I was completely happy with what I was purchasing.

I had a great experience in the Swindon store - Dean served me and told me about the new device and sold me on it! And I will say he was right, the battery is incredible (only charged it once in a week!) and the flavour is great - exactly what Dean said. Extremely happy with my service, not only was he super friendly he also knew exactly what he was talking about.

No response to several emails ? Had to do a bank charge back , item recieved damaged and not useable..have now stopped ordering weekly oils and have gone elsewhere

Reiterated what a lot have said. Customer for several years Ordered £90 weeks ago. Only received half of my order. Emailed several times, left on hold on phone for more than half an hour TWICE with no reply.
In meantime I had generic email asking if had received my whole order?? (Apparently a known issue of them sending partial orders)
Appears warehouse have sent dozens (hundreds??) of orders half complete, rather than just admit they cannot fulfil/do not have stock and refund.
Managed to get refund via chargeback with bank. Closed account and finding new vape supplier.
VPZ have lost loyal customers, through trying to expand. Maybe you don’t need the bigger warehouse after all
Been coming here for 4 years never had a bad experience. The workers are always friendly, know what we want and give us 10/10 customer service.
I would 100% recommend this vape store !!

Ordered a starter pack online When the package arrived it didn't contain the actual vape machine and only had 4 vape oils instead of 5. I have contacted them via email and their own message service. Not one reply telling what's happening. Very poor show.
Placed an online order in the efficient-looking website.
It’s many, many years since I’ve seen such breathtaking incompetence. The online experience with this “business” is absolutely laughable. I placed an order and paid for next day delivery. The email acknowledgement advised that the order had been processed and passed to the courier company for next day delivery. The courier website indicated that they’d been advised of a package but that they had yet to receive it. The package didn’t arrive so I contacted VPZ “support” and received a ‘your message has been logged and will be reviewed by our support staff’. Days passed and the courier website message remained unchanged while VPZ failed to respond to several further emails. I also tried the phone-line which gave either the recorded “all lines are busy” message or played music while I was placed in a queue. Thirteen days after placing the order, the items arrived. No explanation nor apology for the delay and lack of response to emails. The “company” had the gall to email asking me to confirm delivery. The complete indifference demonstrated by the staff will ensure that VPZ receives no further business from myself or any of my contacts. Deserve no stars but one given because the review wouldn't be accepted otherwise.
