New Vape Store in London

[chrisjw]

I discovered & visited a newly opened vape shop today in Finchley (N3 1XP) North London....It's called "E-Vap" & apparently this is their first store in the UK & they have 6 shops scattered around France... A very welcoming interior, together with a vape lounge, where customers can sit, relax & sample the juices on offer.....Their main juice supplier is "Halo", an American supplier.....I tried a few of the tobacco flavours & they were very nice, albeit a tad expensive.......Having only recently opened, they are mainly selling starter packs, comprising a battery, clearos, usb/mains charger which start from around £40, along with a good selection of juices.......The guy told me that they intend to stock more variety, as well as get their website up & running soon......I've suggested he visit AAEC & introduce himself & the company........Beleive it or not, London is lacking these outlets, so it's great to see one open up.......

Wow, I thought they'd have been a few round there, that is surprising!

I think a big contributing factor, is the extortionate lease/rent charges..........

Nice review chrisjw ... glad you had a good time enjoying all those tobacco juices.

Hopefully someday vaping will be so popular and commonplace that every town in the UK will have a selection of good quality e-cig stores that can offer a comprehensive range of vaping supplies to suit all stages of vaping experience.

This is good to know. I have been wishing we had a real shop around these quarters.

I wish them well, it sounds like a nice shop.

Chrisjw is right, there are very few vape shops in London. Quite a few market stalls and corner shops selling a few bits of the beginner's stuff, but little choice if you want more advanced kit. (I think it's UK E-Cigs that is based near Wembley, and there is/was a shop near King's Cross which some AAEC-ers said was overpriced and staff not knowledgeable.)

I was in South Cumbria last week and was surprised to see quite a few vape shops and stalls in small towns. Vaping seems to really be taking off up there.

We do have lots of choice online and can come here and find out who are the best vendors and the best deals, but it just isn't the same experience as being able to touch and play with things before buying and ask lots of questions, especially if we're going to spend a lot of money on something. And although we have a fantastic virtual vape lounge here, a real-life one sounds like fun too.

Pleased you have Chrissie. You could leave yourself open to libel issues otherwise.

Good move
