Approved Electronic Cigarette Suppliers

With the growing market for electronic cigarettes, there are an increasing number of retailers offering deals and promotions on a wide variety of e-cigarettes. To ensure that e-commerce best practises are adhered to, ElectronicCigarettes.co.uk recommend that you only purchase from a recognised supplier of e-cigs and that you check the credentials of the website, manufacturer and supplier.

It is important to remember that not all retailers manufacture their own electronic cigarettes, but simply buy other e-cigs and rebrand, therefore quality control and product testing may be inferior to the leading brands. Below is a list of factors to consider when choosing your electronic cigarette brand:

Company Details
Ensure the electronic cigarette retailer website contains the limited company name, physical company address and a land-line telephone number. Free-phone and local-rate telephone numbers are fine, but there should always be a land-line number as well, after all most mobile networks provide free calls to land-line numbers nowadays.

Quality Control
Check that the e-cigarette brand manufactures their own product and if they have CE certification.

Delivery Details
Ensure that the company use a legitimate delivery company and provide estimated timescales for delivery of your e-cigarettes. This information should be available on the product page, or a separate 'Delivery' page.

Return Details
The retailer must display Returns information on the website, explaining how you can claim for a refund, or a replacement if you receive faulty goods.

Product Descriptions
In-depth product descriptions and photographs should be unique to the e-cigarette they are describing. If the retailer is confident in their product they will have plenty of information available to share and it won't just be copied from another website.

Deals, Offers and Promotions
Many retailers will offer promotions, however, if the deal seems too good to be true; it probably is!

ECITA
If you are still unsure then check the e-cigarette retailer, or brand credentials with Electronic Cigarette Industry Trade Association (ECITA).
