One of the UK’s Largest Independent Vape Companies
Founded in Macclesfield in 2017 and rooted in the North West, The E-Cig Store has grown into one of the UK’s largest independent vape companies — with over 50 vape shops nationwide, a leading online store, and our own brands.
From one Macclesfield shop to a nationwide name
The E-Cig Store opened its doors in 2017 with a simple mission: give smokers a genuine, practical alternative to cigarettes — and make the switch effortless.
At the time, vaping was confusing. Too much noise, too little straight advice. We cut through it with knowledgeable staff in-store, a strong online presence, and a carefully curated range built on quality, reliability and real value. That first Macclesfield shop set the standard for everything that followed.
Among the UK’s biggest independent vape retailers
From our roots in the North West — our first shop in Macclesfield and our head office in Stockport — we’ve grown to more than 50 vape shops across the UK, alongside a leading online store at Theecig.co.uk. That scale helps us deliver stronger value, consistent quality and real support for customers nationwide.
Trusted partnerships, uncompromising standards
Over the years we’ve built lasting relationships with leading manufacturers and suppliers — not through hype, but through consistency and doing things properly.
Those partnerships let us hold standards high, stay ahead on quality, and make sure everything we stock is genuinely worth selling. They also gave us the foundation to create brands of our own.
