FYI “Vapey Jacks is the first dedicated vaping venue in Derby and its owners already have big plans for the future” vaping and realised that I could begin to appreciate flavours once again. “Suddenly the appeal on sucking on burnt paper did not seem so great any more and now I could never go back to smoking regular cigarettes. Vaping has ruined smoking for me and I am very happy to be able to say that.” Everything that Vapey Jacks does is about quality products and providing a welcoming, relaxing and friendly environment for their clients. Mark added: “Our aim is to have a feel of a community centre where vapers and non vapers can enjoy a shared space, relax and have a good time. “We want the best flavours, the best teas and coffees, the best beers and wines and the best service we can produce. “Life is stressful enough and a space where people know they come and relax, even if it just for an hour or so, is very important indeed and our customers tell us that this is also what they want so we are happy to provide this for them.” Vapey Jacks has noticed that it is picking up a lot of clients from other coffee establishments in the city and, because they also serve high quality premium beers and wine, it is also a venue that many people like to visit to kick off a night on the town. Blake said: “We don’t do food here, only snacks, but we really encourage the lunch-time crowd to come in and eat their lunch here, we just ask that they clean up their own mess when they are finished.” When Vapouround Magazine visited Vapey Jacks the place was buzzing. Derby Vapers were holding one of their regular meetings there (it was their first time at the venue and they gave it a massive thumbs up), assistant manager Dominic Bishop was busy making fresh e-juices for customers and everyone seemed happy and relaxed. Dominic takes great pride in his work and said: “It is really amazing here and we are already getting a lot of repeat customers which is a really encouraging sign. “People can tell that we have a passion for what we do and that is very important. If you are passing then come in and say ‘hi’ and you will be assured of a warm welcome.” BE SURE TO FOLLOW VAPEY JACKS ON FACEBOOK WWW.FACEBOOK.COM/VAPEYJACKS VAPOUROUND MAGAZINE WINTER EDITION NOVEMBER 2015163 163
