Absolute Vape vs Vapestore — Which Is Right for You?

Vapestore is one of the UK's longer-standing vape retailers, with a strong national presence and a genuinely useful advice hub. If you're comparing us before you buy, here's an honest breakdown rather than a sales pitch.

The Short Version

Vapestore has built its reputation on broad category coverage and customer education — they run a dedicated Help & Advice section covering everything from coil selection to tank cleaning, plus a coil finder tool that matches devices to compatible coils. Absolute Vape is a smaller, more focused operation: we concentrate on keeping our core lines — 10ml nic salts, 60ml and 100ml shortfills — priced sharply and in stock, backed by a price match guarantee.

Advice & Tools

Vapestore's coil finder and advice hub are genuinely handy if you're not sure what fits your device. We don't have an equivalent tool yet, but our own guides section covers the buying questions that matter most — nic salts vs freebase, shortfill vs nic salt, nicotine strength, and UK vaping law — and we're actively expanding it.

Pricing & Deals

Where we tend to win is everyday pricing on the basics: 10ml nic salts from 99p, shortfills from £3.49, with multi-buy deals (10 nic salts for £9.99, 3 shortfills for £10) that make stocking up before the October 2026 UK vape duty rise worthwhile. If you find the same product cheaper elsewhere in the UK, we'll match it.

Delivery

We dispatch orders 7 days a week, including weekends — useful if you've ordered late on a Friday and don't want to wait until Monday for it to move.

Range

Vapestore's loyalty programme and broader catalogue give them an edge if you want one of everything or prefer earning points on repeat orders. If you want the flavours and devices most vapers actually buy week to week, at sharp everyday pricing, that's where we focus.

So Which Should You Choose?

If a device-compatibility tool and a large loyalty programme matter most to you, Vapestore is a solid, established choice. If you want tight pricing on the core lines, multi-buy deals, and dispatch that doesn't stop for the weekend, give Absolute Vape a try — plenty of our customers compare a basket on both before checking out.
