magine vaping your favourite juice,
coffee in one hand, fresh doughnut
in the other. If this sounds like
heaven, get down to Vape Hunter in
Belfast as fast as you can. Situated on
Woodstock Road, the vape store stocks
a diverse range of e-liquids, stunning
hardware and delicious snacks and
beverages.
Having opened its doors last year,
Vape Hunter has been overwhelmed by
the support and engagement from the
vaping community. Theresa Robertson,
co-owner of the store said: “It is
supposed to feel like a ‘home from home’
because we want every vaper popping
in to feel relaxed, happy and chilled out
in this homely environment. We have a
really special vibe here that feels more
community based than customer based.
Vape Hunter is proud of being the go-to
vaping place in Belfast.”
Theresa certainly knows what she’s
talking about. Her vaping background
stretches back to 2012, which is when
she fell in love with vaping and started
building comprehensive experience in
the industry by working in a vape store.
Fast forward to June 2015 and a chance
conversation with a friend of a friend,
brought about the birth of Vape Hunter.
Theresa said: “We were just sitting
around chilling and chatting late into
the night about life, and how great it
would be to open a vape store. I didn’t
think anything of it, but the day after,
my soon to be business partner said he
had three shop viewings lined up. To
say I was shocked, is something of an
understatement. I just decided to go with
my gut feeling. We had a really clear
concept from the outset which was great,

as we knew then that we were on the
same page. Within one month from that
late night conversation, our store was
open and the rest as they say is history!”
Vape Hunter is a place where vapers can
enjoy a tasty vape, delicious pastry and
steaming hot coffee all under one roof.
The atmosphere is enjoyed by patrons of
the vaping lounge, who come along not
only for the fantastic atmosphere, but to
be part of the community of vapers that
Vape Hunter nurtures.
Theresa added: “When vapers walk
through our doors, we want them to
feel as if they’re friends, not customers.
We want them to feel welcome, to sit
down, enjoy their vape, sip coffee,
play on the X-box and just enjoy being
here. We work hard to cultivate this
welcoming environment and hearing
great feedback from the masses makes
it all worthwhile.”
