Science-backed vaping, expert advice
Founded by a Biomedical Science specialist in the heart of Manchester, Hulme Vapes has grown from a community store into one of the UK's most trusted online vape retailers.
Built on science, rooted in community
Hulme Vapes isn't just another vape shop. It was founded with a purpose — to give smokers a safer, better-informed alternative.
Founded by a Biomedical Science specialist
Our founder's academic background in Biomedical Science — with research focused on COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) — gave Hulme Vapes a clinical understanding of respiratory health and tobacco harm reduction that most vape shops simply don't have. Every product decision we make is informed by that foundation.
Opened in Hulme, Manchester
We started as a community-focused store on Hulme High Street, serving the local Manchester community with expert advice and fairly priced products.
Grew into a national online retailer
Starting as a physical store, we expanded our online presence to serve customers across the United Kingdom — maintaining the same expert standards and competitive pricing.
6,000+ products, full TPD compliance
Today we stock over 6,000 products — every one vetted for TPD compliance and purity. We carry hardware selected for consistent power delivery, safety, and longevity.
Why customers trust Hulme Vapes
We do things differently. Every decision — from the products we stock to the advice we give — is guided by science, safety, and honesty.
TPD Compliance & Product Safety
Every e-liquid we stock is vetted for TPD compliance and purity. We don't carry products that fall short — your safety isn't negotiable.
Science-Backed Guidance
Our advice is rooted in Biomedical Science expertise. Whether you're switching from cigarettes or choosing a nicotine strength, we give you accurate, evidence-based guidance.
Hardware Chosen for Safety
We select hardware for consistent power delivery and user safety — not just because it's popular. Every kit we stock has been evaluated against real-world performance standards.
Community-Focused Since Day One
We started as a local store serving Hulme and Manchester. That community spirit still drives everything we do — from how we respond to support emails to how we price our products.
Age Verification as Standard
We use OneID® bank-verified age checks at checkout — not just a tick-box. We take our responsibility not to sell to under-18s seriously, and we enforce it properly.
Fast, Reliable Delivery
Same-day dispatch on orders before 12pm, fully tracked via Royal Mail with SMS and email updates. Free delivery on orders over £50 across the UK.
