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 also have a shop at our head office, where customers can visit to purchase all they might need for vaping. Come visit us at The Old Fire Station, 2A Manchester Road, Accrington, BB5 5QP. Shop opening hours are Mon-Sat 9am - 5pm.
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.
We are also a founding member of the IBVTA. Being the UK's leading trade association for the independent vape sector, The IBVTA Provides support for these businesses, giving them a voice with government bodies, regulators, enforcement agencies and many other interested parties. We're proud to lend our expertise to an organisation that consistently fights for vaping voices to be heard.

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.

So sit back, take a vape and have a look at what we have to offer!
