About Us - The UK's 1st Electronic Cigarette Company
Welcome to The Electronic Cigarette Company
The Electronic Cigarette Company is fittingly often abbreviated to TECC; we like to keep things simple and efficient. From our friendly customer service team that is ready to help with any query you may have to our comprehensive range of products, we aim to provide a stress-free and enjoyable shopping experience.
While you are here, why not take a look at who we are, and why we have been successfully serving vapers of all experience levels, from beginners to vaping veterans?
There from the Start
Based in East Lancashire, we are proud to be one of the very first online stores to have supplied e-cigarettes. The Electronic Cigarette Company was founded in 2008 just as the world of e-cigs was evolving. We began life as a simple online seller on eBay, before quickly progressing to a fully fledged website with its own office building and warehouse team. Over the years we gained the trust of vapers not just in the UK, but all over the world as well, with customers as far away as Australia and Japan. We now reside in a stunning, grade II listed old fire station building, which has been lovingly restored and modernised to house our ever-growing team.
We launched the first ever pen style e-cigs with the help of our partner Joyetech, which did away with the old atomized cartridge systems and revolutionised the way people vaped. But we didn't stop there; we were also one of the very first vaping companies to release a 'mech mod' called the screwdriver, which helped to pave the way forward for mods in general. As the industry continued to evolve, The Electronic Cigarette Company has moved along with it, and with over a decade of experience, we are proud to be established as one of the UK’s most prominent electronic cigarette companies, providing information and support to the vaping community as well as supplying the latest and greatest high quality products from the best brands around.
Trusted Vape Partnerships
We only use tried and trusted vaping suppliers, including an official UK distribution partnership with Joyetech, Eleaf and Wismec to provide you with the best products at ultra-competitive prices.
We also have a number of extended partners, from Aspire, VOOPOO, RELX, GeekVape, JUUL, Vuse, Vampire Vape and much more to ensure all of our customers receive the latest, highest quality, genuine products that are in stock ready for when you need them, whenever that may be!
It is these strong vaping partnerships that should give you the ultimate confidence when shopping with us. When coupled with our outstanding customer service, shipping times and aftercare, we believe that we offer the most comprehensive online shopping experience in vaping.
So sit back, take a vape and have a look at what we have to offer!
