VM : Tell us about Vape Ranger in the US
Joshua : Vape Ranger was born out of our experience as shop owners . When the vaping industry began to rise , we were still searching for products via Instagram and through friends . We looked everywhere to find new e-liquids , ordering it soon because it is a monumental and time-consuming task . In 2016 we decided to develop Vape Ranger - an online platform to make ordering e-liquids easier for all vaping businesses . The website allows stores to order all their e-juices in one place , making their lives a whole lot easier . It ’ s cheaper , innovative and a more efficient way to order e-liquids .
Zachary : Vape Ranger instantly allows stores to reduce their shipping costs . It is a one-stop shop where hundreds of brands of e-liquids are available for wholesale . Clients ( retail stores ), can log onto the website and purchase e-liquids , best of all you pay one shipping fee . It ’ s the best platform to purchase all e-liquids in one place at one given time .
VM : Why did you decide to launch Vape Ranger in the UK ?
Joshua : Since our inception in the US we ’ ve enjoyed developing great relationships with our partners in the US and world-wide . Three months ago , we began to get an influx of orders from the UK in particular and decided it best to launch an instance of Vape Ranger based in the UK . Our goal for our VapeRanger . co . uk platform is to shorten shipping times and reduce shipment costs for UK-based vapour stores .
VM : How did you get into vaping and why ?
Joshua : After years of smoking one of my friends showed me an older model e-cig . I took a few pulls and instantly was hooked . My friend had gone from two packs a day to none . Later that week I purchased my first e-cig and never looked back . We thought what better way than helping people to quit smoking by vaping ?
Zachary : After opening six retail stores , we launched East Coast Vape Distribution . We noticed a gap in the vaping industry and seized a huge opportunity . This was a couple of years ago , when we saw vape stores opening across New York . Being one of the first true vape distributors in New York we developed great relationships with numerous stores and companies .
VM : What do you enjoy the most about working in the vaping industry ?
Joshua : I enjoy helping people . To know that our goods are helping people and touching someone out there and shaping their lives by quitting smoking like the way it ’ s changed our lives , it ’ s a great feeling .
Zachary : We think it ’ s huge being a part of the emerging vaping industry . There are a lot of different factors that help expand the vaping world from innovative products to marketing , product development and so much more . It makes us so proud to be a part of something this exciting .
