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.

Visiting your Clydebank store today, firstly i was pleased store was open on a BH. I needed help as i had fallen back to smoking. Harry was very patient and listened to me so he could advise what may work for me. I look forward to returning to buy more juice and hopefully tell Harry that the AEQ is working well and no more cigarettes purchased!!! Was refreshing to get great customer service. Thanks Harry & Sam.

Recently, I've had three 3-packs of replacement pods, and the majority of them went bad within just 1-3 days of replacing instead of lasting the usual 5-10 days. Because of this, my local store exchanged these for me (I specifically asked for a batch distant from what I had) – however, only one pod in the pack of three worked with no issues, the other two leaked even though newly installed. Disappointing and suggests poor quality control.
On top of that, the VPZ website's "Forgot Your Password" feature does not send the email at all, despite multiple attempts (my email is registered, before you ask Reader).
Because of that, I've decided to move away from VPZ and have now ordered a new device from a different manufacturer - I'm very much looking forward to using a more consistent and reliable kit without the same pod-quality issues.

Ok. So when I open the site, it's locked into 16:9 screen format which makes it really awkward to navigate. Also when trying to to filter products it constantly buffers and freezes. The app/site is terrible and needs sorting.

The Derby branch is a very popular store because all staff are faultless in customer care and have exceptional knowledge of VPZ products and the health benefits of vaping over smoking. I visited the lovely store today and Ali was extremely warmhearted & knowledgeable about my VPZ requirements. Her gentle sense of humour, people skills and incredible empathy go hand in hand with her knowledge of cost effectiveness for the customer. She is an asset to the store and her manager. She values her colleagues too and enjoys working there - which is a rarity in today’s workplace! Great lady, great staff and fabulous products. Unequalled. 👍🏻😌🌸

Went into the shop to buy some vape stuff and the guy behind the counter refused to sell to me as my daughter was standing outside the shop. I've spent thousands with vpz over the years and I will never be back again. You've lost a customer.

What fabulous staff in the Sheffield centre branch. Really helpful and very knowledgeable. I could not have asked for better service. They sold me a multi charging kit to put in my keyring just what I needed. Use this shop it's the best.

I’ve Always had positive non problematic experiences with vpz over a long time.
,I’ve been a good customer & Could not fault them (UNTIL) very recently when I was due a refund & wasn’t unlike a comedy of errors/misunderstanding by vpz which had me going in circles more/less by going from one vpz branch to another from appox 7th-18th feb ,Then alas I got my refund finalised.
Im sure their refund procedure could probably be more straightforward ,Quite embarrassing .
Ironically the refund was all cleared up at the very 1st branch I went to prior to my wild goose chase to the other vpz store .
On a positive point with this ordeal,credit to the lady in the other vpz branch who got the ball rolling despite the refund finalisation being a somewhat lenghthy muddle..
Needless to say I won’t be returning.

I visited the Swindon store for the 1st time today. As soon as I walked in I was greeted by the store manager, he was extremely helpful, he showed me the huge variety of options and I found the the juice I was looking for. All in all a great experience.
If there was an app for the shop then this would definitely be the go to for all my vaping needs.

I don’t like having my time wasted and usually the guys in store are really good. My car is in the garage so I ordered online and selected my current address. When it processed it said my old house which I can’t get to. I sent an email and got a rude reply from a Fiona and don’t appreciate being spoken to curtly when the glitch isn’t my fault. Had to reprocess my order and now wait for the other one to be refunded. Frustrating UX and not even an apology. Clearly this is an issue their side as she told me to delete the old address when it goes through. A little customer service goes a long way and this is the first experience I’ve had in literal years god bless my Poor lungs of being a customer.

Bought a vaporesso from the Cumbernauld branch late yesterday. Took it home, primed it and was obviously coil had malfunctioned. Took it back this morning and was told they wouldn't refund or replace as the battery pack was working. Wouldn't even give me a new coil. Will not be back.

Sorry to have to do this but I feel that I need to amend my last review of my experience with this company. My view has not changed as to the friendliness of the staff just that the advise given was not what I expected. A couple of weeks ago I went into a VPZ branch for the first time looking to move off cigarettes and my pipe to a vape. I had done some research and thought that a Geekvape B100 kit was a good fit. The branch had a unit in stock so I bought it. Today I visited my local branch only to be told that they did not have replacement coils. The staff member then checked on stock at another store close by (the one from which I made my original purchase) and they had no stock. I was directed to another vape store only to be told that the model I had purchased was old stock and should try Amazon!! What is the point of having a loyalty card when I can’t buy the needed accessories? Why was I not told that this is an outdated model? I am not happy at all and query whether I should go back to a VPZ store

Been a while since I visited this store. Didn't really know what I wanted, and I asked lots of probably unnecessary questions. The two lovely staff members, Dominque and another lady answered everything with a smile, super friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. Great little shop, has everything you need and lots of flavours. Highly recommend.

I have been using VPZ only for four and half years.
The last two weeks Leeds city center haven't had the pods I need and can't get them anywhere else.
I was told two weeks ago they would order.
And didn't poor.
Considering using another company
