A Small Team That Packs a Big Punch

We're not a big corporation. We're a small, tight-knit team with big buying power and low overheads - which means the best prices for you. We've always believed that vaping is a path not only to stop smoking, but over time, to become nicotine-free.

Whether you're picking up your first pod kit or building custom coils on a high-end mech mod, we've got you covered. We serve beginners, intermediate vapers, and advanced hobbyists - and we work closely with specialist hobbyist vaping brands to stock exclusive products you won't find anywhere else. From disposable alternatives and nic salts to RTAs, RDAs, and squonk mods, Ecigone is the biggest overall online vape store in the UK covering the full spectrum.

Our Story

The Garage Days

Shane started Ecigone from his garage with an eBay store and a small batch of imported products. The goal was simple - help UK smokers find a better alternative.

First Vape Shop Opens

The response was bigger than expected. Our first physical vape shop opened its doors. Later that year, our own e-liquid range, Franklin Vape, was born.

Online Store Launches

The ecigone.co.uk online store launched - just a shelf of stock in a small office. Things picked up fast. That one shelf became a full office, then a warehouse.

4,000 sqft Warehouse

Outgrew our space again. Moved into a fully racked 4,000 sqft warehouse to keep up with demand. The team expanded to include family, partners, and close friends.

Disposable Ban & Pivot

Single-use disposables banned in June 2025. We'd already pivoted - stocking the UK's largest range of refillable and prefilled pod kits, nic salts, and bar salts.

Full Custom Build

Not just a rebuild - a full custom site on Shopify Hydrogen with unmatched speed and features. Built to give customers the best possible experience from search to checkout. The perfect place to purchase your vapes.
