Are you wondering why you should buy vapes online? If you’re new to vaping and unsure what the best route is, or perhaps you’ve always shopped in-store and you want to try something new – we’re here to help!
There are now over 5.5 million vapers in the UK. So, where does everyone go to shop for their vape kits and e-liquids?
Well, there are two main options:
-
High-street vape shops
-
Online vape retailers
In this article, we’ll talk a little bit about what to expect from vape shops (including what you can buy in-store), and we’ll also explain the main advantages of buying your vapes online.
What does a vape shop sell?
Vape shops sell most things vape-related, from vape kits to e-liquids, disposable vapes, accessories, and replacement or upgrade parts.
You can walk in and sample some testers and speak to the staff. You can also shop for things like replacement coils, travel cases, batteries, and tanks. Also, many vape shops sell alternatives like nicotine pouches and heated tobacco products. If you prefer the in-person experience, then you may prefer to shop in-store. However, you’ll miss out on the many benefits of shopping online (special deals, bulk buying, and a huge amount of choice).
The disadvantages of buying vaping products from brick-and-mortar shops
It’s nice to walk into a shop occasionally and browse all the vapes they have. But life can be hectic, and sometimes you just want your goods delivered to your door. If you bought all your vapes from high street shops, think how many trips you’d have to make to keep topped up.
Here are some of the disadvantages of buying your vapes on the high street.
Limited stock
Brick-and-mortar shops can be small in size and may not have a lot of stock/options. This can be particularly frustrating if you’re looking for something specific. You’re limited by what’s in stock in the shop on the day you turn up. If you order online, you can find pretty much any vape in seconds and place an order. Shopping online gives you access to an enormous range of options and flavours, so you’ll never be short on choice.
Limited opening hours
If you leave buying your vapes to the last minute and head to the shop only to realise it’s closed, you’ll be heading home very disappointed. In-person vape shops usually have normal opening hours, and some may not be open on certain days. Online shops let you browse 24/7, ensuring you’re always topped up.
High street prices can be, well, pricey
It can be tough to find the best deals if you’re only looking in one high street shop. They just can’t offer discounts in the same way that online shops can. A lot of online shops can sell vapes in huge quantities across the UK, which means that they’ve got a little more flexibility with price.
You also can’t really compare high street vape shops very easily unless you plan on visiting all of them in your local area to look for the best deal. When you shop online, you can quickly find the best price for vaping products by comparing different sites.
The benefits of an online vape store
Here are some stand-out benefits that you can enjoy when you shop online. The list isn’t complete, but these points give you a clear idea of how your shopping habits could benefit from online vape stores.
Variety and choice
Online vape shops have a massive selection of products and thousands of different options and accessories. You may want to try new vape flavours and products that you simply cannot find in your local area. Shopping online is the best place to do this. We stock thousands of vape juices and kits for you to browse and find your ideal set-up.
Order 24/7
Online shops are open 24/7, and some offer free next-day delivery (hint hint). That gives you access to all the vape products you could ever wish for and you can order knowing they’ll arrive the next day. Thought of a product you’d like to order at 2 am? No problem. There’s so much flexibility with online vape shops. At Vape UK, we offer free next-day delivery on orders over £20 placed before 9pm!
Better prices and multibuy discounts
You can find the best prices online by exploring multi-buy options. If you know you use a certain number of vape liquid bottles a month, multi-buy options make a lot of sense. It can also work out a lot cheaper when you buy in bulk, not to mention the mix-and-match options for when you want to try out new flavours.
Convenience
You don’t have to leave your house or plan a trip when you shop online. You can also order on a regular basis so you know they’re going to arrive on a set date. No more last-minute trips to the shop to grab a few (overpriced) vapes. It’s so easy. You’ve got access to everything at the click of a button, and with us, you will always receive a 5* service.
