Written by the company

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!

Can't recommend them highly enough!

I would never go anywhere else for my vaping needs. The customer service is second to none, and they make every visit an absolute pleasure. They also always go out their way to show me what deals will offer me best value for money, and how to get the best performance from my device. If they did a 10* rating they would easily get that from me. Can't recommend them highly enough

I go to the local vpz in Newton aycliffe and I have to say they are some of the most helpful assistants I have ever encountered. Nothing is too much trouble for them. The choice is fantastic and I love the fact that I can try before I buy. Your choice and flavour has converted me from another brand totally. I now only exclusively use the vpz shop. Brilliant addition to the town

Very helpful and made to feel at ease

This is the first time I had brought a vape. I wasn’t sure the best one to get. So I explained it to the manager in the Berwick-upon-tweed branch. He was so helpful and even set it up for me. He also said if I had any problems at all to come back and he would be happy to help and advise . I was made to feel at ease.

VPZ Dundee/Lochee

VPZ is my go to provider for all vape products. I normally shop at the Dundee Central store where the staff are excellent. I recently went to the Lochee branch as it has easier parking options (and it's free). Once again staff were knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. I now have two options 😁

Coulby Newham Store spot on again

Coulby Newham Store spot on again!

After purchasing my AEQ Pro with Rich recently, I went back into the store today to choose some new liquids.

The two male staff members in store today were brilliant, and definitely knowledgable about all of the products and gave some me some brilliant recommendations and advice.

I’ve purchased some more liquids and I’ll definitely be back in for more.

It’s really good having a store on the doorstep where literally all of the staff are easy to talk to, know their products (through using them themselves) and are so approachable and patient.

Thank you again.
