Two flavours, one unmistakable cloud.
From the marquee at a wedding to the layby outside the crematorium, every British occasion has its own vaping protocol — and nobody writes it down. We collected your trickiest dilemmas, ran them past a panel of etiquette-minded vapers, and settled the arguments once and for all.
Every kitchen in Britain has one — a drawer stuffed with dead tanks, mystery coils and bottles of something called 'Blue Raspberries Heaven 2019'. We asked ex-partners, housemates and a professional declutterer why none of us can bring ourselves to bin it.
Why does a perfectly legal adult habit still feel like announcing an engagement to a man your mother once met at a wedding? A first-person wander through Sunday roasts, garden furtiveness and the great British art of the stealth vape.
Nobody's Instagram grid features the smoking shelter behind a Swindon Wetherspoons, but that's exactly where British vaping culture actually lives. A fond, slightly damp celebration of the service stations, alleyways and beer gardens where the real clouds are blown.
Ever wondered who decides that a custard is ready for the shelf — or quietly sends it back to the lab? We spent a full shift with Gemini Vapour's in-house flavour tester, from the morning palate reset to the awkward moment two tasters simply cannot agree.
Every vaper has one — the flavour that vanished and never came back. We look at why discontinued e-liquids haunt the British vaping scene long after the shelves have emptied.
Every ex-smoker seems to have one — the last fag, tucked in a winter coat or an old glovebox, waiting for an emergency that never quite arrives. We spoke to vapers, shop owners and a habit psychologist about the rituals of letting go, and why flavour might be the thing that finally cuts the cord.
Delivery apps can bring you anything these days — except the bloke who remembers your quit date. A fond defence of Britain's independent vape counters, and a warning about what disappears when they do.
Blackcurrant with mint? Custard with coffee? Trust us. A playful tour of seven e-liquid pairings that shouldn't work on paper but sing in the tank — with budget-friendly UK bottles to try them yourself.
Everyone knows a vaper who still nips out for the odd cigarette — most of us are one. We asked around the shop counter and the group chats, and the confessions are more common (and more honest) than the industry likes to admit.
We raided corner shops and high-street chains across the UK to test budget e-liquids under £15, pairing each with a premium equivalent to see if the expensive bottle earns its price. Spoiler: sometimes it does, and sometimes it really, really doesn't.
We dragged a suitcase of unlabelled tanks through five British cities to find out whether the nation's palate leans dessert or tobacco. The results were messier — and more delicious — than we expected.
Everyone thinks the hard part is inventing a nice flavour. Wrong. From MHRA notification fees to chasing shelf space in a corner shop in Leeds, launching a UK vape brand is a proper business grind. We spoke to the founders who've done it.
Every e-liquid you've ever enjoyed owes its character to two quiet workhorses: PG and VG. We break down what each twin brings to the party, how the ratio shapes your vape, and how to work out which one your palate has been quietly rooting for all along.
When the temperature drops, your vape changes character — thicker liquid, flagging batteries and flavours that seem to have gone quiet. Here's why winter messes with your setup, and how to keep your December clouds as satisfying as your July ones.
One person, two moods, two very different tanks. We build a practical day-long flavour pairing routine — from bright menthols at breakfast to something richer after dinner — and sort out which nicotine format suits each hour.
Spend ten minutes in any UK vape shop and you'll spot it: two entirely different customers, drawn to entirely different bottles. We reckon every vaper has a twin inside them — here's how to work out which one's running the show.
Disposables are on the way out and the rulebook is being rewritten — but adult vapers in the UK still have plenty of legal options. Here's what's changing, what isn't, and how to future-proof your setup without falling foul of the law.
