E-cigarettes may have taken the world by storm, but at Vapour King in North Street, Carrickfergus, we believe in offering a calm haven for smokers to make the rocky transition from tobacco to a safer, more enjoyable alternative and to help experienced e-cig users get the most from their experience. Here, we answer some of the most commonly asked questions about e-cigs and explain how smoking electronic cigarettes (also known as vaping) isn’t a new phenomenon but the renaissance of an ancient tradition when a leisurely, satisfying smoke didn’t carry the health risks that come with traditional cigarettes. If you have any more questions, feel free to call into our friendly shop in North Street or call us on 02893 350852.
The Shisha Pipe – How it Began
The contemporary e-cig represents a marriage of modern technology with ancient culture. The art of inhaling hot, flavoursome vapour was cool hundreds of years before the cigarette became synonymous with Hollywood glamour and Audrey Hepburn’s iconic long black cigarette holder smouldered into the post-war zeitgeist in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. At Vapour King in Carrickfergus we just can’t help being equally cool – although ourvapour king 50.50.mix and Diamond Mist juice is the hottest in town - but we take our cue from those ancient seers who perfected the art of smoking minus the toxic chemical cocktail that comes with every cigarette. The shisha pipe, also known as the nargile, is a water pipe with a clay base and mouthpiece that releases vapour from tobacco flavoured with herbs and fruit. It is believed to have originated in India around 2000 years ago. Although shisha pipes, still smoked in India and the Middle East, contain tobacco, it is the blending of flavour released through the exquisite vapour that makes them so intensely satisfying. At Vapour King, we’ve left out the tobacco but retained the magic. As with those ancient smokers, vapour, for us, is a fine art: our vapour king juices must be sipped and savoured to be appreciated. In the nineteenth and early 20th centuries, the nargile was a must at intellectual gatherings and afternoon tea parties hosted by stylish ladies, the shishapipe.net website notes. Here at Vapour King, we believe in carrying on this stylish tradition; leave the stresses of the world outside in our elegant surroundings while you sample our vapour king juices and enjoy scintillating conversation.
What are electronic cigarettes?
Electronic cigarettes are battery operated devices that contain a nicotine-based flavoured juice. When you take a puff from one of our vapour king e-cigs it releases a thick, satisfying vapour that can be inhaled and, because vapour king uses only the finest quality sourced products, you’ll discover that it’s much more pleasurable than smoking a cigarette. Our e-cigs include a chargeable battery and a clearometer (the container for the juice) which has a mouthpiece. vapour king juices come in varying nicotine strengths, depending on how heavy a smoker you are. Many people eventually graduate to our nicotine-free juice which contain the flavour but without the nicotine.

So whether you’re a light smoker or 60-a-day diehard, you’ll find the right strength of juice and the right battery for you. Our starter kits are from £20 and include a battery, clearometer charger case .

As The Guardian newspaper notes, e-cigs hit that sweet spot between quitting smoking and going entirely nicotine free.

Our vapour king e-juice comes in over 200 flavours. These include traditional tobacco flavours (ideal if you are new to vaping and need time to wean yourself off tobacco) to the tastebud explosions that are watermelon, blueberry, cherry, double apple and banana. If you’re on the quest for that Brazilian/Nicaraguan blend to complement your morning coffee, you’ll find coffee nirvana in our delicious coffee flavour. Or, for something more exotic, transport yourself to a tropical beach with our pineapple coconut rum juice.
Safety of e-cigs
Our customers’ health and well-being comes first, which is why sell only UK-made e-juices that undergo rigorous health and safety checks. As the exclusive authorised local licensed retailer of Diamond Mist, we are proud to be selling a product manufactured in London and EU approved and certified. Additionally, our products have been checked and approved by Carrickfergus council’s environmental health department. Vaping sometimes gets a bad reputation because the market is flooded with cheap juices made in China and batteries that explode or fall apart within a few days. Don’t be tempted by such products. The juices don’t undergo any safety checks and the batteries are cheap imitations of the branded, quality products sold by ourselves and other reputable manufacturers. A recent study conducted by researchers at University College, London found that smokers who switched to electronic cigarettes were 1.63 times more likely to give up for good.

"A couple of decades ago, crudely, it was a case of quit smoking or die. There were very few options for smokers wanting to quit because there just weren’t any real treatments or helping measures around," says Amanda Sandford from Anti-smoking charity ASH.

To say that has changed would be an understatement. Last week marked the beginning of ‘Stoptober’ a national NHS campaign aimed at helping Britain’s 10 million smokers quit. One of the more popular methods aiding quitting is the electronic cigarette - or e-cigarette - which has seen a huge take-up among the smoking community.
ASH (Action on Smoking and Health) reckons a third of the 2.1 million adults using e-cigarettes are former smokers. Spokesperson Amanda Sandford says: “With the arrival of NRT - nicotine replacement theory - a lot has changed, especially with the advent of the e-cigs.
“There has been an explosion of their use among smokers who are using them to cut down in order to quit entirely.”
As one of the UK’s 10 million smokers, I visited e-cigarette shop V-Revolution in west London to see if I could be persuaded to forgo my daily cigarettes. Having smoked for five years, I’m on anything from a couple a day to a packet during a night out. Health concerns aside, smoking is becoming an increasingly expensive habit I’d love to cut back on.

Store manager Elizabeth Playle recommended a second generation e-cigarette as I’m a semi-heavy regular smoker. A rechargeable opaque black tube conceals a battery powering the electronic heating elements, an atomiser, contained in a clear, refillable cartridge. As you puff, ‘e-liquid’ in the atomiser is drawn onto the heating elements by fibre wicks and disappears in a cloud of vapour - some of which you inhale.
If you can get over the fact you initially feel like a space-age opium addict, the overall effect can be satisfyingly akin to smoking. Prices for a starter kit (including charging devices) with the top-of-the-range e-cigarette offering a variable level of nicotine.
E-liquid flavours tend to ape ‘traditional’ cigarette tastes - Playle guided me through what she might offer someone switching from Malbroro Reds compared to a Camels smoker, with accordingly different nicotine levels. There are also more novelty ones on offer - Pinacolada-flavour anyone? The cartridges are supposed to last the equivalent of roughly 200 cigarettes.
Playle, who has managed the busy store since it opened in 2013, says she has seen a huge take-off in business in the last eight months, claiming they sell an average of 50 starter kits daily. “Now, there are so many people starting on the kits so it’s become a lot more socially acceptable.”
Her experiences were echoed by other brands. Emma Logan, a spokesperson for JAC Vapour, which commissioned a survey in 2013 showing 75 per cent of its customers had given up smoking, said: “Before it was mostly people who understood tech and were interested in that kind of product or idea.
“There has been a shift because if you are a smoker now there is a sense of being socially ostracised - there’s no way you don’t know the dangers and that what you are doing is essentially killing yourself.”vapour king helps thousands of people stop smoking every day ,for more help and support call into vapour king buy diamond mist 17 north street carrickfergus 02893350852.
