From perfumes to e-liquids, Eco Vape are
about to seize their second throne.
Watch this space. Eco Vape’s newest project
may soon be one of the centrepieces of the
British vape business. Their new e-liquid
facilities in Alfreton’s Cotes Park Industrial
Estate are incomplete, but already humming
with potential. Excessive hype is the bane
of any industry on the grow, but there is no

great use of their skills and experience.
“We had a perfume warehouse, buying and

have big stands there, and a microphone and
we’d sell bags of perfume for twenty pounds.
We were going to shows making ten to
twenty thousand pounds a day in perfume.”
